Also thanks for trading for Rigo Nunez.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

RIP uublog. I will never forgive you for ignoring my (most likely better the Jeff's) trade offers for Cla Walsh but I hope wherever you are now is better then this.

As much as it sucks to lose the WS to jeff again, it's going to suck waaaaaay more when Al Duke doesn't get any extra recovery on rollover :(

Our rollover will be Saturday or Sunday, and I'm going to be away until Monday night. Might take until mid-week to fill, just so everyone's aware.

Oh gee he got a whopping one more point of recovery thanks HBD. Minus 6-7 on injury, 200+ days on DL, +1-2 on recovery.

Your Season 31 Hartford Focus!

C - Alcides DeRojas (33) - .275/.335/.561 45HR 118RBI He's an aging catcher and while he's not the best defensively, he's adequate and will drive in runs. Dingers galore (42 and 45 in his 2 seasons in Hartford).Cool dude rating: :dukedog:
1B - Salvador Martin (24) - .295/.369/.539 37HR 121RBI A young slugger who looks to be the anchor at 1B for a decade in Hartford. 37HR in his first full season, and I look for that total to improve slightly. Cool dude rating: :dukedog:
2B - Alex Nieves (27) - .289/.367/.513 25HR 69RBI A good second baseman getting into his prime. Good production at the top of the lineup. An underrated player. Cool dude rating: :parrot:
SS - Julio Sosa (32) - .270/.319/.368 12HR 56RBI An aging SS, but he still has a good glove. His bat though. :barf: Cool dude rating: :bunt:
3B - Slim Norton (29) - .313/.374/.580 41HR 123RBI A great hitting 3B in his prime. Switch hitting with plenty of power. I don't know why he isn't as good defensively as I think he should be. Cool dude rating: :coolfish:
LF - Graham Abernathy (26) - .319/.386/.562 40HR 120RBI Former AL MVP. Robbed in the voting last year. He's a monster. Cool dude rating: :krakken:
CF - Alan Hayes (22) - .331/.38/.632 10HR 33RBI (in 136AB) ROTY. Book it. He'll be below average defensively (though with a plus arm) but his bat should play well in CF. Cool dude rating: :black101:
RF - Arodys Vega (24) - .256/.329/.502 10HR 34RBI (in 203AB) ROTY. BOOK IT. My OF is full of cybernetic alien robots from the future sent back in time to destroy your pitching. You're welcome. Cool dude rating: :krakken:
DH - Howard Schierholtz (25) - .319/.388/.494 16HR 55RBI (in 348AB) A good young DH. I'm not sure how many dingers he'll produce, but he should be a solid ML hitter. Cool dude rating: :coal:

Bench:

IF - Shelby Huff (25) - Yeah, he can't hit. But he should be able to catch the ball while other guys are getting the day off. Not really a cool dude at all. Nasboat level.
OF - Giomar Bournigal (29) - He's a good fielder and an okish hitter to fill in on off days. Not cool at all. Probably roots for the Seahawks.
C - Harry Guerrero (31) - A good defensive catcher, he'll provide a solid veteran presence in the clubhouse. Ok dude. Probably listens to dadrock.

Pitching:

Who cares about pitching when your team is gonna hit balls over walls?! :getin:

Let's do a little recap on how I thought things would go.

C - Alcides DeRojas - .253/.308/.463 32HR 90RBI A bit of a backslide, but that's still ok production. I can't complain from a guy hitting down the order for me.
1B - Salvador Martin - .333/.406/.600 45HR 110RBI I felt he would improve, and he did. I look forward to him continuing this level of production for a decade.
2B - Alex Nieves - .278/.359/.442 19HR 76RBI Right in line with his production from previous years. Gets on base, hits at a decent clip, plays good D. Solid young talent.
SS - Julio Sosa - Let's just not talk about him. I fired him into the sun.
3B - Slim Norton - .268/.334/.469 32HR 89RBI Really not a bad hitting season, though his HR and RBI totals dipped. Still, it could be way, way worse. I'm happy with what he's doing.
LF - Graham Abernathy - .283/.349/.475 32HR 79RBI Not the best hitting career of his young career, but could be worse. Lack of RBI due to where I hit him this year.
CF - Alan Hayes - .261/.314/.454 21HR 69RBI He didn't hit quite as well as I'd hoped, but he showed good pop in CF. Also stole 20 bases. I'm happy with his rookie season.
RF - Arodys Vega - .273/.328/.532 35HR 113RBI Dipped a bit in the second half, but I'll take this production for another decade. real power.

Haha they blanked out scouting budgets and injury/medical but not coaches or prospects? Why would I know what someone has to spend on coaches/players/prospects but not on training or scouting? If they are going to do that black it all out.

Also they blanked out budget history on the set your budget page, so I do not even know my own budget history lol. So even when they are making updates they make stupid mistakes. I do not trust these people to make changes and not break everything. Having QA/Beta/Alpha release worlds is probably a good idea.

Also if you go to budget analysis and pick any team and any one season you can see all of their budget because of the average. This is why I am done with WiS. I was fine with them treating it as abandon wear, but it is more insulting to make changes that they clearly did not QA or test in anyway.

I got 150 credits left to spend and then I am done.

I haven't played in two years and change, but I'd never seen it before this morning.

Also, I'm probably going to have to push him on a pubbie but if anyone has interest in Stephen Patton, he's probably going to be non-tendered. Other than situations like that, I'm going to be cautious about trades until WIS gives more information on how they plan to screw $0 advance owners. No harm in TC though.
