AlleyViper posted:Actually when I'm not building a team I only spend 25-30 minutes a day on my sim league teams. Even less than that when I don't have more than a dozen teams going like right now. HBD doesn't take that much more time a day, really. You just can't let it go for a week during the preseason like every new owner we've tried out recently has done. Once you hire coaches, FA, and Arbitration, it's just like SL. Check your scores/injuries, and if you have an stamina problems you have to adjust your rotation or whatever. The draft you can do in spurts, because you have a few days to look over prospects from when they're released to when the draft is.

Ivan Drago posted:How do you make a 2-man rotation work early in a season? Ed Walsh has plenty of innings (495) to support his role and only threw 6 innings and 100 pitches in his first game, but he'll be starting the third game of this season at 65%. Having never used a 2-man rotation, are there some tweaks I should have made? It's early, just pull him back a few pitches.

I took over a terrible, mismanaged team in Aaron. I have this deal available: I'm Monterrey. I get:  He gets:  I think this is a fairly even trade, but would really hurt my pitching depth. Here is my current rotation:  I have Johnny Holland in AAA, but he needs at least another year to grow (the last owner apparently loved to rush prospects to the ML squad). Here is Holland.  I like Maranon more than Holland, but the owner is set on winning the WS this year, and wants Maranon for his bullpen. I'm not sure if the offensive boost from Guillen is worth cost of a good young pitcher, but I love his bat. Holland has a great GB/FB rating and great pitches, but that control makes me want to puke. What say you?

Power of Pecota posted:And the one that knocked out gardenald too! I'm still kind of in shock that it actually happened, since I expected my only halfway decent playoff pitcher to be Sandy Koufax, and I think he lost every one of his starts. But Gaylord Perry became like an avatar of Shiva or something. I'm also up 2-1 in the first round of the TOC with the team, it's time to see just how far my luck can take me there. I can't believe I coughed up another division lead in the last days of the season. Congratulations anyway!

The regular season in Aaron is about to begin. Last year's division winner in the AL South had a 76-86 record. I'm hoping I can mash enough dingers in Monterrey to get near .500. Behold:  and vomit:  let's see how this little experiment goes. EvilBeard fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jun 30, 2011 |

Anubis posted:My Aaron team is in shambles. We don't have any pitching, the hitting really isn't there and I have a ton of bad contracts I have to wait to get off the books. Oh and I'm at my salary cap so there's no hope of improving for at least another season or two. Oh well, guess that's why the last guy abandoned it. you get to change your payroll every year, adjusting your budget items. I'm sure you have a few young guys in the pipeline.
