SIM COMPLETE - 1995 - SIM 20

"That sounds like CAROLINA'S music!!!!"

(Enter LC with a steal chair)

The music will fade as quickly as it's arisen.

But, I'm still a fan of this Hamilton guy on my team. We got Pat Faulkner back from the DL as well as Pancho Valentin for my bullpen.

A 1-5 sim on Monday will put an end to this, I'm sure of it.

Let's take a trip down memory lane, you son of a bitch.

#48, Jeremiah Gray
In Maine's minor league system. Injuries derailed his career.

#58, Jared Williamson
In Windy City's minor league system. Injuries derailed his career.

#71, Willie Stevens
Just signed to pitch in Washington's system. Simply never reached the promise of a 6th overall pick.

#78, Luca Marciano
Retired. Injuries derailed his career.

#81, Donnie Greene
Pitching for Maine. The only truly successful of the bunch.

#85, Julian Murillo
Rejoined Denver this season. Flat lined into what you'd expect out of a 5th round pick.


This is why I always choose Syracuse as my main rival no matter what Ryan or Jim do. Always.

3-3. We are terrible and obviously.............

Think we took your division 17-7?

Minor details. The real news is that you guys only went 3-3 against us.

FYI, I'm not crediting you when I use this line in a screenplay someday.

Really...I was 7-5 against you guys this season.

I saw the Colonials had an injury this sim... Just the 7th of the season... Don't worry it just a two day injury. On the season the total injury time of the seven injuries, 39 days. Unreal.

The Bats lost starting SS, and ROY hopeful, Shawn Nolan for five weeks. In one injury, I have as much missed time as the Colonials have had all season.

I've got good mojo at the BLB level no doubt. Not as good in the minors. Just too much effort to mess with 7 day l/u at all levels.

Lol and Pawtucket 9-3.

It really tells us zero. Pretty sure were aren't questioning who has the strongest division.

Right now the only short term goal for Pawtucket is to win 90+ games and NOT be out of the playoffs.(Oh and to get least 2 of my 4 starters healthy in the process.)

I will sue you!

Pulled into 2nd place for Wildcard. Many games left with Washington. Could be fun.

[Delandis]

Dost mine eyes deceive me?

Batavia has the #1 payroll in the league. Big Money Batavia!!!

[Matt]

Yea I'm big money...and also borderline illegal it seems.

This has been brought to my attention so I might as well disclose it to all...it looks like we are over $100m post trade. I have 2 guys on waivers which I cut this sim...so I'm back under $100m and should be legal but here is my defense.

I wasn't aware that it would count Buzz and LaRochelle's full salary on my salary page. Therefore it shows me paying them $21.9m when in reality we are over 75% done with the season...and will only pay them roughly $5.4m. With those numbers, the ones I used to process the trade before I did it, my total player salary is only $84.2m.

I'll leave it up to the commish and co-commish to decide my fate.

[Clay]

That's the rough part of these early morning SIMs for me. Don't always have the time to pre-check that.

It's not borderline, you're illegal. The bottomline is you could have still done the deal if you outright released $670K worth of salary, received cash in that trade, or traded a player.

My feeling, and because we don't have time to really discuss and put it to a vote, is that you need to declare a player or players that total at least 670K that should be outright released at the start of Monday's SIM (you can release them before you export or I will).

To me that's the way it has to be.

Fair???

And, just so everyone's clear.... I try to always say it this way.... your PAYROLL may never exceed $100.0 unless it's pushed over by calling up minor leaguers from your own system.
