Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.
Oh god, why is Darren Pulsipher already playing at 91% stamina at the ASB?

Oh god, why is Darren Pulsipher already declining at age 29?

Oh god, why is Tucson's training at just 10??

God drat it, someone save Darren Pulsipher from Art hur.

The S30 Anaheim Los Angeleses Trade Asset Dossier

The members of the Anaheim professional baseball organization are available to you, prospective buyer. Have a look at some potential assets that could be yours, listed in no particular order:


Jim Neal
Pos.: 2B
Age: 29
Contract Info:
-S30: $8.25M (~$3.4M remaining)
-S31: $8.25M
-S32: $6.25M
-S33: $6.25M
Details: A 2B who'll flash plus plays but boot a grounder now and then, Neal makes up for his tendency to kick a ball a week by being a big plus on offense.


Johnnie Myers
Pos.: CF/2B
Age: 27
Contract Info:
-S30: $5.1M (~$2.1M remaining)
-S31: Arb3
Details: Can play every day at two tough positions to fill, steal bases smartly and can usually be counted on to OPS ~.750 neutrally.


Paul Matsuzaka
Pos.: 3B/OF
Age: 33
Contract Info:
-S30 $1.02M (~$420k remaining)
Details: Veteran corner bat still has very good bat ratings at his age and can reasonably hold down 3B or be plus at another corner.


Sammy Domingo
Pos.: OF
Age: 31
Contract Info:
-S30: $6M (~$2.48M remaining)
-S31: $6M
Details: .287/.339/.513 with 25 HR in 394 AB as of this post (1/12 pm1). You could probably use that.


Sammy Mullin

-S31: $5.75M
-S32: $5.75M
-S33: $5M
Details: The prize RP of the trade market. Elite. Freakish down numbers this season due to a couple tired outings. Can go multiple innings when needed because of efficiency.


Benny Kelly
Pos.: RP
Age: 33
Contract Info:
-S30: $3.2M (~$1.3M remaining)
Details: With a pitch-to-contact velo rating, he'll continue to age well. Can get any batter out. Can be counted on for 60-70 good appearances.

-S31: $2.8M
-S32: $2.8M

Age: 30
Contract Info:
-S30: $5.5M (~$2.2M remaining)
-S31: $5.5M

-S30: $6M (~$2.4M remaining)
-S31: $6M
-S32: $6M (player option)

Age: 35
Contract Info:
-S30: $5M (~$2M remaining)
-S31: $5M

Hey, Sparky. How about you don't pinch hit for your long reliever in the 13th inning when he has thrown just one total pitch, and your next "available" reliever is at 28% stamina. That sounds like a great idea to me.

Have you considered just winning in regulation? I mean, AV knows when the 9th inning is. You should try just winning in 9.

I'm just totally cool with you losing all the games though. The Focus need to take this division over with all the young, prime talent.
