SIM COMPLETE - 1997 - SIM 16

[Clay]

NEXT SIM: MONDAY

***

TRADE DEADLINE passes during Monday's SIM. Friendly reminder... please make your TRADE posts clear and clean. PRE-SIM instructions should be clearly called out.

***

NOTE: I'm no longer going into the office after today, so SIM times may not be as early. We're going to keep the file deadline at 7a, but SIMs may come a little later. I'm still shooting for before 9a every morning (and most will be early), but just an FYI.

[Carlos]

So a SIM on time but met with this devastating news for Brad? You just can't give us comfort, Clay.

[Jistic]

But we'll be simming every day now right? Cool.

[Jistic]

0-6 and moving up the draft board!

[Clay]

Well, you bastards got your wish.

[Dave]

2-5 sim and we tumble out of first place. Anyone want to trade?

Depends on the direction your trading.

Great. Now he'll be rested for the playoffs.

It always goes your way!

[Delandis]

Well, you bastards got your wish.

Damn I'm good.

[Clay]

He did have an Intercostal Strain in 1987. Don't feel great about this pattern. Our stretch run in '07 could be in jeopardy.

Given your position in the standings, probably the same one you are.

Lol, darn it. Another seller.

[Clay]

League doesn't lack sellers.

BTW - Has anyone used the rehab assignment thing? Curious of the experience.

[Dave]

League doesn't lack sellers.

Nobody else is selling the BLB HR leader though. Crews, O'Finegan, even Haynes. I have a shitload of offense that I'd be willing to move for pitching. But nobody trades pitching, for anything. So....here I sit.

No one pays properly for pitching. I put Morgan and Jenkins on the block each of the last 3 seasons and people laughed at my demands. Don't get me wrong, Dimmick going for 40% of his value kills that...but Top 2-3 pitching is huge here. As Carlos pointed out, half the league can grab a .400 OBP around here. Pitching is premium.
