Tired Position Players
Adam Jones


Probably why. He had a monster march/april.... just rest him more or I'll manually enter something reasonable for you if you'd like. The cpu is tricky with depth charts, if you don't have someone on the bench for each lineup for each position it might leave it blank. That's why a solid UTL guy who can play a lot of positions is key I think.

I always auto my depth charts... but I make sure I have everyone I need on the bench before doing it.

[Providence A's]

9 - 4 sim.

Batting AVG: .303 (2nd)
Homeruns: 36 (T-18th)
Walks: 141 (2nd)
Stolen Bases: 50 (6th)
Runs Scored: 270 (2nd)

Opponents AVG: .280 (19th)
HRs Allowed: 26 (T-3rd)
Walks Allowed: 112 (T-17th)
Runs Allowed: 203 (T-17th)

SS Pennington got hurt and was only supposed to miss 7 days, but then got the dreaded "needs 14 more days to heal email" and missed the whole sim plus a week of the next sim

I don't expect the team homers to stay that low. Zimmerman and Young can start hitting closer to their career averages please. Pitching seemed to do a little better, but isn't reflected in the overall numbers really.

Saturday 5/6/2017 :
Calvin Delaney seems to have improved his pure stuff!

9,8,9,3 knuckle ball reliever now.

[Porter]

Im going to send lineups anyway but 4 for 54 is still very bad for a tired Adam Jones

[HollywoodLeo]

Not bad, I got the WC for now. (Even if I am relying on a bit of luck with my +5)

Rafael Soriano is on a short leash.

[Slyder]

Another 8-4 sim for KC. Beat the snot out of Chicago to take the division lead back. Pen needs some tweaking may give Rideout a try over Hodge next sim.

Batting AVG: .305 (1st)
Homeruns: 52 (2nd)
Walks: 109 (T-17th)
Stolen Bases: 28 (T-17th)
Runs Scored: 257 (3rd)

Pitching ERA: 4.40 (10th)
Opponents AVG: .253 (6th)
HRs Allowed: 37 (T-12th)
Walks Allowed: 107 (12th)
Runs Allowed: 185 (11th)

8 of my main 9 in the lineup are opsing over .750 right now.

Chris Young's done exactly what I hoped he would (cleanup any left over messes).

Young's stats with RISP: .457 ba, .469 obp, .717 slug, 1.187 ops. 1 HR and 31 RBIs. He's not moving from his spot in the lineup. May tweak some of the middle.

[DiamondDave]

Batting AVG: .275 (14th)
Homeruns: 45 (T-6th)
Walks: 114 (12th)
Stolen Bases: 45 (T-8th)
Runs Scored: 212 (9th)

Pitching ERA: 4.03 (7th)
Opponents AVG: .263 (10th)
HRs Allowed: 29 (T-7th)
Walks Allowed: 98 (6th)
Runs Allowed: 158 (3rd)

Jose Reyes... 15 SB away from the career lead, and he's losing talent like a sonofa*****.... and he's only 33 years old...

Cameron Maybin seems to be staying on track and performing like his ratings say he should.. about time... as he's been a highly talented underperformer for a few seasons

Jair Jurrjens is a beast so far, but his usual partner, Andrew Miller, is still winless on the season....

Leday is still underperforming from the leadoff slot, but did recently get POW, so hopefully that is the turn around he needs

Brent Lillibridge, recent acquisition, filling in nicely at 2B.. so much so that he may keep the job.. .with Anderson Hernandez taking over SS if Reyes don't start performing

[Providence A's]

I forgot to mention...

Albert Pujols: Had 3000th career hit on 5/8/2017, off Erik Bedard (BAL)...

he's currently, 1st in AVG, 1st in OBP, 8th in SLG, 1st in OPS, 1st in both runs created categories, 2nd in hits, 2nd in doubles, and 7th in BBs. He will crack the top 25 all-time for hits soon as he is only 20 hits behind 25th. He has a shot at 21/20 this season. He should move up to 8th for homers, into the top 10 for RBIs, into the top 5 for doubles, and into the top 10 for runs.

And nick... that is why I didn't give up Hardy... I knew Donald would get hurt for a month... LOL

[HollywoodLeo]

Another 8-4 sim for KC. Beat the snot out of Chicago to take the division lead back.

My pitching was horrendous that series.

what else is new?

[General]

So Wilbanks continues to be useless. I might as well bench him for Almanza.

[Kingdom]

I'm going to bench Pippen for a sim and see if that breaks him from a really bad slump. I really want to start Kata just for fun too.

Productive sim despite the ongoing cluster**** that is the West

Hey General, gimme Escalona for Loney.
