Your AL Cy Young ballot, presently:

Sean Priest (legit ace)
Bud McDonald (legit ace)
Cody Roosevelt (legit ace)
Ismael Barrios (legit ace)
Moose Sellers (legit ace)

Your NL Cy Young ballot, presently:

Chick Wehner (arguably the best pitcher in Dimaggio)
Lewis Stammen (ERA above 5 two of the last four seasons)
Matt Cambridge (career 4.37 ERA)
Orlando Mercedes (solid 2/3, career 3.93 ERA)
Jerrod Riley (JERROD RILEY??? )

Real talk, I didn't want to trade Riley because I felt he had some potential, but assbutt convinced me he wasn't worth it. and gently caress Ismael Barrios, he should be on my team.

In other news: this is the year of Hartford. You can't stop it. :smugdog:

I dunno. Abernathy has hit well, but his RBIs are down because guys like Slim Norton, Salvador Martin, and DeRojas have been driving them in better than last season. DeRojas has had a great season though.

Chip Steele injured, out up to 3 weeks RE: C.Steele

Here's the latest on the injury Chip Steele at the ML level suffered [Forearm, cramp/strained]. He's gonna be out around 9 HBD days and should probably be placed on the 15-Day DL. We'll let you know if anything changes on the road to recovery. Good luck!!!

Fortunately, the people found a mighty Rosenthal, called Trevor.

Everyone knocks my hitters' accomplishments because of Coors, but both Macbeth Kennedy and Derojas kept on hitting after their trades. Granted, Hartford is a bandbox too, but still

I really didn't want to trade Macbeth but he wanted a 5-year extension and I just couldn't justify that for a dude who I had already moved off of 2B and who will likely begin losing his power/speed on rollover (his power has already started).


Thankfully Benavente is hitting a cool .301/.392/.478 for me and Martin is a pretty strong upgrade over Roosevelt.

Tough learning experience but yes save demotions for minor league lifers who need to fill a spot in A- or Rookie ball, or your Quad-A types at season's end

Prospects can be safely demoted if they were called up to replace a guy who went on the DL, and said player comes off the DL. That's pretty much it.

Yeah, as long as it coincides with the appropriate DL moves. I have never had an issue as long as I both a.) remove the injured player from the DL and also b.) demote the young player with the same transaction submission. For example:



If I called up Kim the same cycle as I placed Foster on the DL, when Foster's ready to come off, I set it up like above and hit submit and Kim takes no ratings penalty.

I am on my phone or I would, can someone at this to the newbie training guide somewhere please. Do not demote any player who is useful. Perhaps add the addendum that AV talked about.

Meanwhile Matt Cambridge is one win from tying and two wins from setting a new franchise mark for single-season wins (20, Matt Hunter and Sean Creek).

He is in line for exactly two starts.

He's totally going to finish at 19 wins.

My team is two wins away from tying its second best win total in franchise history (101 back in season two), a team which featured Del Trajano's 75 dingers and 1.265 OPS, 295 total team homers, and this franchises only world series appearance (which they lost)

Incidentally, the S1 team won 107 games

S30 Salem's blazed past season one's record (100 wins, third place in the division) where the entire offense hit .993 and Derrick Cornelius hit .347/.417/.791 with 76 dingers and currently is trying to beat S25's team that had Howie Corbin and Rigo Nunez get the 2nd and 3rd most at bats.
