Thats the pitching staff I grew to love last year!!!

Couple sims old but the pen got a boost:
Adam Brandt's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!
Adam Brandt is hitting his spots better, his command improved!
Hes now 10,10,9 talent. .

I still would like a RHRP for one of my LHRP including De La Rosa.

[Kingdom]

Losing games, finally.
Eventually I will have enough money to buy the world. And my lefty killer Montanez, he went up in talent. Still has no eye, but

Pedro Montañez increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
Pedro Montañez has gained more power!
Pedro Montañez has improved his plate disclipine!

..isn't bad at all.

[DMBZeppelin]

Edwin Jackson is hitting his spots better, his command improved!

So that puts him at 9-8-9 talent wise, and makes the Cubbies happy.

[Hammer]

****in denny bautista lost talent what RIDICULUM !

villegas bay and huber are still mashing though and harang is a true ACE. vasquez didnt even pitch last sim, but i went 7-2 anyway, so thats nice.

[Porter]

porter, the season isn't even 2 months old yet...why don't you look at it when the season is over

It was still interesting to look at.

[Providence A's]

It was still interesting to look at.

I just mean that it's a small sample size.

[Porter]

Felix Hernandez leads the AL in ERA, IP, GS, R/9, WHIP and QS and is only 6-4. My bullpen is solid as I thought it would be. Still waiting for my 2 big bashers to show signs of life to help Matt Murton and Super sub Brandon Inge.

[BrianDawkins]

another mediocre sim for my mediocrely performing mediocratic team... we have no choice but to turn to tmnt 2: secret of the ooze now.

michael ambort broke his hip, out for the year, lost a lot of talent. HUGE blow. because i traded away my abundance of catcher prospects. well i still have toregas left, but hes like 25 and massively underdeveloped. woe is me.

Win you actually win the division and win the series, call me, k?

[Porter]

When you actually take a bad team and turn them into a winner let me know? Oh wait you tried that with DET in S3SL.

[Kingdom]

I can't help that I'm smart and chose a real team, and not some joke that's run by a game console. Maybe redsfan will create Yoshi to be your catcher.

I can't help that your incapable of rebuilding a bad team and making them good.

Wheres the challenge then? I learned more about OOTP by rebuilding the Twins than I did in SBSL (where I had "a little success") and in TSSL as the Cubs (pre crash) and now with the Brewers.
