No need for PM if there are general questions that could benefit everyone. The first few days of the season are the most important of all. Even if you decide that this maybe isn't for you, at the very least, please be able to commit to managing your team through offseason activities. Failure to do so could cripple a franchise.

Big time bat with Merrick. It's funny; I didn't see Carney or most of the pitchers that went in the first half of the first round, but I see Gentry. I guess that scouting budget went to the right place!

Also, got a 92/93/93/96 current defensive SS for under $4M. Splits are bad, but both Contact and Power are over 60 with eye over 50. With that D (7+ plays at ML SS already) it's worth it.

My sucky int'l sees 96/80/80/67 with 84 durability for Mr. Meng. May top out at 80 durability but the rest should come close.

Virgil Lewis Triple Crown Watch 2011 Exactly halfway through the season, Lewis is: -1st in the NL in AVG (.346, leading by .008) -3rd in the NL in HR (24, trailing by 3) -2nd in the NL in RBI (74, trailing by 6) And he's 21  I will never stop posting about Virgil

ArtVandelay posted:I had the 27th pick in Aaron, and for some reason, I got the guy was 2nd on my board. Anybody want to post a comparison of what you see of him? If any of my top picks are college players, I like to slot them into A- or A+ immediately for the better coaching, so they accelerate to the ML level. Especially with a guy like that, you want this season and 4-5 starts of next before bringing him up, I think.

AlleyViper posted:But gently caress it, I'm tired of people acting like I don't know what the gently caress I'm talking about. Give me a team and when I never do anything with it at least you'll know why. I'm not sure this is the right attitude, but hopefully the game changes your mind. At least give it through the offseason. It's the most important part and ignoring it could royally screw a franchise for a long time.

AlleyViper posted:And it absolutely isn't the right attitude but I'm tired of people acting like the live with me and know what my day-to-day activities entail. Unless this semester goes incredibly swimmingly, or HBD requires far, far less time than I anticipate, I'm not going to have the time that I really want for it for at two more years when I graduate and I have no desire to continue to be hounded all that time. Then I'll tell you right now not to do it, because you probably won't enjoy it. And I'm sorry that you feel pressured, but this really isn't the right way to go into it. Make sure you WANT to give it a try more than you want to shut people up, because even if you don't join, I think you've made your point and stance clear to those who may not have been 100% on it already. + And I see you've purchased a season already. If you decide to not do this, you can get the money back in site credit if you ticket customer support and tell them you bought the wrong thing or something.

Virgil Lewis (Gleeman World 1) is my pride and joy. 100 career homers and counting in his age 22 season. .313/.395/.584 and 104 HR in 1,423 career ABs, .340/.430/.637 with 30 HR in 388 AB this season, his second full and third total.

Ok friends, I'm enlisting your consulting services. Draft prospects in Gleeman 2 were just released, and I have the 1st overall pick. These are the top choices as my scouting (14/14, drat 1st season limits) sees them, in no particular order:      Album link My thoughts:
So.

), but what makes you say this?

Draft update: Manship is currently my #1, despite trepidation about bang-for-the-buck. Biggest advantage for me is I could have a very effective ML reliever late in his 19-year-old season.

He's only in his 3rd pro year, so I'd do what Scrotos said. Also, just added Taylor Turner in GW1. It's party time in Columbus.

He probably won't be QUITE the hitter Egan is (and who else in the entire GAME can say that?), but he'll certainly play a more premium position, so there's value in that.
