8 - 5 opening sim. I'll take it. Zimmerman, Cust, and Barton are ripping the ball. Snelling and Parmelee are doing well, too. Hopefully, the pitching will improve as the year goes on.

Hopefully stats will be more even this year guys. I messed around with the sliders a lot during FA and whatnot to get them more hitter/pitcher even. Just bare in mind this is the first sim, so if some stuff looks screwy it's cause it's only been like...15 games.

Rickie Weeks has learned to better avoid strikeouts!
Rickie Weeks increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!

Mark Buehrle was named American League-Pitcher of the Month !
He had a record of 4-1 in 5 games started, with an ERA of 2.01 and 1 shutouts.

Eat that, Porter (Predicted the White Sox to finish 4th)

[Providence A's]

well, not I'm leading the Wild Card. Hopefully, my pitchers start pitching closer to their ratings or we're going to be in trouble even if we do make the playoffs.

brad penny is rip

Brian Harville has learned to better avoid strikeouts!

Brian Harville has gained more power!

Picked him up off of waivers when Phillies released him way back when... he already had some interesting potential, so i couldnt resist... but after the boosts, his talent is up to 6-9-8-10-6. he might become a power bat or something off the bench in time... or just a triple-a player, but at the least he's ripping up AA right now. will test him with AAA now.

Friday 5/5/2011 :

Ramon Ramirez seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Ramon Ramirez is hitting his spots better, his command improved!

5-10-10 but he's 25 and not developed in stuff and control... still, might be a nice 4th or 5th or a middle reliever.

Thursday 4/27/2011 :

James Loney has gained more power!


Need to find him some more playing time... but my entire infield is ripping it right now.

[nick]

YU IGAWA! lol

[Kingdom]

Thanks for the 116 ABs Ryan Freel. Rest in peace.
Never thought having Jose Castillo around would ever come in handy.

McClung, 5 victories.

Leo, prove me wrong. It would be good lol. As for those that said Gil Meche would amount to nothing when I made the deal. Solid years the last two and 5-0 with a 2.72 ERA this season. Matt Holliday is flat out destroying AL pitching.
