Any cringe-worthy headlines?

edit:
Just saw the HTML. Not a very healthy Spring Training. Just wow...

A few notable ones... but more day-to-day stuff this SIM. That's more a product of people not having enough bodies (or the correct settings) to substitute during Spring Training.

What a horrible ST for us pitching wise. Gonna be easy to cut a few guys after this one.

Hope you can recover that hit you guys took. Gonna be tough!

I lost my starting 2b for the year. Always lose a stater for the season it seems. I gotta figure out these special "avoid injury" settings.

We'll hopefully get past it. God willing.

Lead all teams in ST in hits, much like last year, 99% of them were singles.

[Carlos]

No major injuries to start the season.

Borkholder won't miss Opening Day despite projections that he might. Hate that he'll be behind everyone else but considering how he's hit in the first half of the past three seasons, I don't think it would have mattered.

Sinclair had a great Spring Training. He had a decent one last season and then was on fire out the gate until an injury slowed him down the rest of the year. Here's hoping he stays healthy and goes on a six-month barrage.

I know it means absolutely nothing, but I liked seeing Wessin Ramirez put up a .341 | .434 | .636 | 1.070 slash line with a 1:1 K:BB ratio. It probably doesn't translate into actual regular season success, but it sure beats the alternative of watching him limp into the regular season.

That average is impressive. I'm not surprised by the slugging.

Your offense could use some punch. About time a former Denver prospect does something for you.

Pawtucket no injuries. Good enough for me.

Strange to watch Rob Johnson and Pat Coleman pitch better than my normal starters.

Both will still start the year off in AAA awaiting someone to get hurt or slip up.

Not sure how these two would fare in the bullpen. Coleman is only 26 anyway so a little development might not hurt.

We could see 13 pitchers on opening day.

[Dave]

No injuries. Hooray!

Our "tolerant" owner expects us to be in the playoffs this season. I don't really see a playoff squad when I look around the clubhouse, but anything can happen in the Lager!

Denver is expected to play .500.

So in the Pilsner that means we can compete for a playoff spot.

Coleman has been in the BLB for four years. He doesn't have any development left in him.

[Delandis]

We're expected to go .500 and in the IL that means I'll be lucky to win 60 games. Shooting for that #1 1997 pick.
