2007 Random Ramblings!

[General]

Well, still absolutely no offense from Atlanta. 2nd worst offense in the league...very much offending the shit out of me cause I thought we'd be middle of the pack in terms of offense.

Buchholz/Prior/K-Rod/Broxton carrying this team, with Gorzellany holding up 1/2 the team with his left hand of glory.

[General]

Also, I think I should let you know that this last sim (and the following draft order) were brought to you by Smirnoff Triple Distilled Premium. Without it, I'd prolly be asleep on some couch in someone else's dorm.

I will give my life for David Ryan Jr.

I hope there isn't a sadist who picks him and refuses to deal him to me

[NYgiantsfan5689]

as if Tampa Bay needs the 3rd pick in the draft........god damn your farm system browntown....

[NYgiantsfan5689]

o and i would just like to remind everyone that A-Rod is on pace for 72 HR's and 201 RBI's. Yeah.

[sandman25]

Giantsfan, A-rod is a beast...I wish I had some of that power in my line up...My team just isn't hitting HR.

Looks like I drafted Dry.
Deal me offense if you want.. you. o_O

2 PMs sent...we will work out a deal

[Providence A's]

Alright. Some changes were made, and I am happy with where I am now.

I went back and looked up Reyes and Carillo's talent ratings as of day 1 of this league and restored them. If there are other young studs who were adversely affected for no reason by the development settings, please pm their names to me and I will see what I can do.

This doesn't mean send in the ratings of your backup catcher. If you send me stupid names, you'll just piss me off, and that bodes well for nobody.

Players fixed:

Parr
Reyes
Carillo
Barfield
McPherson
Hu

is this still in effect? I just had a SP that was completely filled out lose "stuff" talent for no reason...

#9 Eric Carter, Starting Pitcher, 23 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report

if not, I'll deal...

[General]

I'm afraid what happens from now on is just a part of the game. The settings are where I want them to be.

[Providence A's]

oh well...he's useless now...demotion-city!

[DravenX]

Watch out, LAA is going to win in '07.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

a beautiful 10-4 sim gives toronto the second-best record in the bigs. a-rod didn't have any homers though

This team is finally gelling. The pitching and offense are all coming together. humberto sanchez is 4-0 since may 27th, including a 2-hit shutout, and going on a stretch of allowing 1 run in 23 innings. and when he struggled, the offense picked him up. allowed 5 runs in 6.1 innings, but we still won 13-9. love the team effort.

[Doppelgänger]

I wish the prospects would get there thumbs out of their butts.

[mntwinsfan]

Wow can't believe I am over 500! My hitters are not getting the job done. Why there not hitting is beyond me. Daniel Bard is 7-3 but as of late getting lit up. Bard is a 10 -10-10 sp. To me he should be much better.

Batting AVG: .260 (13th)
Homeruns: 62 (16th)
Walks: 181 (22nd)
Stolen Bases: 82 (10th)
Runs Scored: 323 (14th)

Pitching ERA: 4.69 (22nd)
Opponents AVG: .277 (28th)
HRs Allowed: 67 (19th)
Walks Allowed: 204 (20th)
Runs Allowed: 333 (21st)

bad stats there! Time to make some moves and get back in the race.
