Join Zimmer, I have another couple seasons before my prospects come up, and it's really fun to murder my team!

Tommie Butler is back. Time for him to hit .400 and carry me to an inexplicable playoff run.

I'd consider splurging a little more on minor league coaches next season if I were you. Still plenty of growth left in your top guys.

Here is a numbered list of fake baby baseballers for your perusal. College is a black box of anti-knowledge and is not represented. Starting pitchers 1) Jayson Evans (89) - The second coming of Jerry Sizemore, only this time he's left handed and has control! Only has two pitches but they're pretty good. I'm not sure if being a two pitch guy is a detriment when throwing 60-70 pitches a game. Not the guy for you if you're into a Set It and Forget It rotation. 2) Dann Parker (80) - Really high stamina guy with a durability rating that will limit his overall innings. Splits are average or slightly above average but everything else he's packing is good to elite. A really nice pick that will require a little babysitting. 3) Karl Thome (71) - He's got the best splits out of any potential starting pitcher in this class and his control is super elite. However, his durability and stamina will limit him to 150 innings at best and his pitch ratings are piss trash. 4) Ismael Pelaez (68) - Would be a decent low stamina SP prospect if it weren't for his control issues. All of his other ratings are pretty solid. Give him a whirl if you don't mind giving up the free pass. 5) Brian Peters (67) - A pretty solid high stamina SP prospect whose durability is absolutely tanking his OVR. He's also a very questionable sign because he's a 5'11" white guy who wants to play pro basketball. I'm assuming that's an excuse to travel Europe because he's probably not NBA material. Relief pitchers 1) Will Gleason (80) - Will is a super stud next coming of Jesus reliever. He's also a questionable sign due to wanting to play pro hockey. Save up some prospect money and make sure he signs; this is the type of guy where a type D comp pick just makes you sad. 2) Julio Javier (72) - With control and right split in the 90s, and a near max P1, Julio is going to be very good. He'll have to be very good in a limited innings role though since his durability is a bit on the low side. Still he'll be a very good 80 or so inning guy. 3) Daniel Keppel (66) - A lefty reliever with slight control issues and good enough pitch ratings that it might not matter. But with a durability rating that's topping out in the mid 40s he's not going to be eating a lot of innings. 4) DJ King (65) - A questionable sign with a questionable control rating. But his max GB rating means that he'll get some action around the league if he decides to sign after the draft. 5) Fritz Christiani (63) - He's got low stamina and his P2 rating is not optimal, but this is a guy that will play around the league. He'll just to have to do it 10 pitches at a time. Catcher/DH 1) Andy Monroe (66) - He doesn't have the pitch calling skill to play catcher unless you're crazy, and his durability isn't high enough to play there for a whole season anyway. He has an elite batting eye while the rest of his hitting skills are middling. 2) Brett Menechino (65) - He's barely acceptable as a defensive catcher but he doesn't have the durability to play a whole ton of games. An elite batting eye and pretty good left split mean he'll find a spot on some benches, but there's not much power to be had in that swing. 3) Yovani Moreno (63) - A really outstanding defensive catcher that can't hit a lick. He might pop the occasional accidental dinger but being on base is not going to be this guy's strong suit. First Base/DH 1) Beck Hume (63) - Scouts aren't finding much here. Beck is a 5'8" no power first baseman who dreams of playing professional basketball. Pass. Second Base 1) Carl Kubel (75) - His glove isn't quite there but his range is really good for the position. He's a switch hitter with some speed but unfortunately no power to speak of. He should still get on base a fair amount of the time and he won't hurt you on the field. 2) Lucas Pfisterer (68) - He's got speed and baserunning but that's about it. His range/glove are a little below average for the position and he has no power or batting eye. His contact and left split might mean he gets a little play as part of a platoon but I doubt he lights up the league. 3) Ronnie Coghlan (66) - My scouts have him listed as a 2B but I see him as more of a below average 3B on the field. He has great power but all his other hitting skills are mediocre at best. Quad A Superstar. Third Base 1) Dave Green (69) - Below average in the field, bad speed, worse batting eye, and the only thing he has going for him is contact. But his projected OVR is 69 and that's Nice. Shortstop 1) Louis Roundtree (89) - Shortstop is where all the position prospects are living this season. Louis doesn't quite have the range for the position but all his other defensive ratings. He swings a monster power bat though and can easily hold down the #3 or #4 spot in a lineup. Only knock on his hitting abilities is his batting eye but even that is just average instead of bad. 2) Nick Martin (87) - A pretty good facsimile of Louis Roundtree minus some points of durability. Better batting eye that Roundtree but worse contact rating. Range is still not quite there but with that bat it might be worth it to try. 3) Jaret Wells (83) - His glove tops out at 80 but all of the rest of his defensive ratings are in the elite+ range. No power in the bat but he should spend some time on base, especially against lefties. You can surely do a lot worse for a starting SS in this league. 4) Alvin Montgomery (79) - His defensive ratings are going to put him into the slightly below average category but he's not actively bad. He actually has a little power in his swing and a decent left handed split so expect a few balls to go over the wall. His speed and contact mean he won't be an on base machine but hey, shortstop. 5) Stump Hines (78) - Everything about this guy screams "Almost good enough". His defense is almost good enough for short, and his bat is almost good enough to carry him if he could actually play short. But instead of playing short, the entire package comes up a little short. Left Field 1) Donovan Rigdon (77) - This guy is basically mediocre as gently caress at everything related to hitting and I hate that profile. He should play a good defensive LF though. I don't think he'll put up the OPS you want from a corner guy. Center Field 1) Akinori Feng (76) - Good defensive CF with top tier speed. Unfortunately his baserunning leaves a bit to be desired. He's not really good at anything but contact when it comes to hitting, but he can probably fake it enough to play ML CF. 2) Mitchell Jones (76) - Better range than Feng but a worse glove. He's not quite as fast either but he has a little more power in his swing. Definitely a real ML CF prospect. Right Field 1) Clyde Nelson (82) - Not quite the power some people look for in a COF but he's got really good splits and eye with top tier speed. He's a very questionable sign but his mother isn't his consultant so there's a chance you could pay highly and land him. Let's see I suppose some sort of top 5 is in order... 1) Nick Martin - I'll take the very slightly better defense and OBP over Roundtree's durability 2) Louis Roundtree - ...not that that means Roundtree is bad by any means 3) Jayson Evans - Really only dropped because you have to babysit his innings to get the most out of him 4) Will Gleason - Would be #1 if he was a starter 5) Dann Parker - Picked him over Javier because he's a starter. I like this profile even with the slightly low splits. Happy hunting everyone!

Maybe you don't like averaging only one .700 team in the NL every ten seasons!
