SIM COMPLETE - 1997 - Off-Season 3

[Delandis]

Can someone tell me if HTML launch worked?

If not, and Andrew sees this, maybe he can go in the LEAGUE OFFICE and launch it.

Looks good to me sir.

It was easily the most lists I've ever received.

Virginia personally submitted our first list in 5 years. Unfortunately, the one guy on our list was "blessed" enough to go to Denver.

The devil's blessing.

I really wanted Solis or Richardson, and was excited to get Richardson. Knew I wouldn't get both.

Also loved Pete Puckett. Guy is going to be a very solid reliever. Camiera could be solid as well, but I didn't like his bat as much as Richardson.

Camiera was my guy. Feels like a perfect 4th OF for a playoff team.

[Carlos]

Camiera was number one on my list and I'm very happy to have drafted him. Now that I also know he's got Clay's blessing, I expect he will never suffer an injury and will see his potentials take a sharp jump upward!

Delandis took a neat shortstop. I had him on my list as well. Also liked Puckett.

Nieve looked like an interesting prospect, but his control really scared me. Reminds me of Doug Gallagher. He did well in Denver after being traded from Washington, but struggled everywhere else.

[Jistic]

I didn't really see anything too great in the Rule V. I was happy to get Puckett though. Had him shortlisted since college. I thought somebody would've snagged him before me.

[mwetts]

Surprised to see Nieve drafted. If he could ever learn to harness his control, he'd be pretty good. Don't see that happening though. But since he was drafted by Pittsburgh and came from my team, I'm predicting an ERA of 2.00 or lower for him this season.

yea thought i would give him a test drive in ST. My bullpen is usually the weakest part of the team and I'm typically low on LP. I'm hoping I could bolster my BP without having to spend FA money. Give a guy a chance, see if he can turn it around. If not i just send them problem back. No way to lose in the rule V (unless your LAM or WIL, sorry).

[Pat]

Excited to get Pat Harrison. I thought he would be one of the first few selected. Former top 10 pick. Former top 10 prospect who can play every defensive position. Super utility.

I liked him too. Good pick.

[Matt]

I had Harrison above Agano who I got. I only had a very short list and I'm surprised to get him.

Wilmington lost 3 guys in the top 5 picks...Los Alamos lost 6 guys overall. Talk about hurting your team for years.

[Gyrodork]

Figures... Best Rule V pool since I joined the league, and I couldn't participate. Although, things would have been pretty well picked over by the time my name came up.

Talked myself out of protecting Cota. So of course, now that someone picked him up, I'm regretting it.

By the way... I'd like to remind everyone that I have a significant cardiac condition. Let's keep the "we lost our player history" posts to a minimum, shall we?!

[Clay]

I saw Woodbury in his free agent whites. I now have a heart condition too....broken.

Well I really thought that I had Puckett on my active roster never mind 40-man.
And the rest aren't really roster ready IMO. I'd like to have a few in the minors but I didn't think they many people would want to stash them on their active rosters.

[Clay]

My guess is 70% of those drafted today will be returned.
