[Clay]

NEXT SIM: Friday*

Draft is in.

I've expanded the Single A rosters to 40 players until Monday. When you export for Monday... ALL LEVELS MUST BE AT 25 guys!!!

*- I have to go back to the office AGAIN on Friday... I may get it done before I leave, but be warned.

YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO SWEEP US!!! We suck on the road.

Pawtucket 2-4 on the interleague road trip. Come on Porter!!!

3 back in the Ale or should say "The new Pilsner".

Nailed the second rounder draft this season. P Ed Kisselburg debuts at #60 and P Tom Hau at #79. More importantly, NONE of the other 5 guys dropped off the list!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, great sim!

Funny, I offered a minor league contract to Tommy Keatts. He responds and tells me that he's worked hard to make it to the major leagues and that if I want to retain his services I'll have to do better than a minor league offer.

Then I'm informed the next day that he's signed with Virginia......to a minor league offer.

But our first rounder debuts at #26 so that's good.

My minors are the majors.

3-3.

Windy City with some late game magic to ruin two wins for me. Good show, sir.

Can't even be mad. With so many home games, I wondered how this team would hope up on the road. We've played a lot of road games in the past two weeks to make up for the uneven scheduling. .500 is okay with me out there.

Just keep winning at home.

Apparently you haven't seen the terror which is the 40-17 Janesville....whatever they're called.

[fsquid]

Carolina goes 3-3 against the dregs of the Pilsner division. That won't cut it.

Children are crying, women are fainting, strong men are weak-kneed, bands are playing and spontaneous parades are breaking out as we manage a 3-3 sim this week! Me, I'm just drinking heavily and praying for the day we actually have a week better then .500 while eying that I-80 bridge over the Mississippi.

The DL must REALLY suck this year.


In other news, this has got to be the first time I've seen so many teams with 0 Top 100 Players.

I noticed that too.

[Delandis]

I noticed that too.

Its probably what the Power Rankings will look like in 3 years.

[Clay]

We've never had so many teams trade out of the 1st Round. The Top 100 is loaded with 1st Rounders.

Their future isn't so bright either.

3-3 sim on the road. RaGo goes down 2 months. Oh well, we'll move Hayes back to the rotation or even give Anaya a shot as a starter. Hayes always seems to win games for us - especially as a lefty. Though, I'm curious what Anaya can do.

Marco Perez falls off the top 100. No matter, he'll be on the BLB roster by August 1. I might even start him eventually.

Just hanging around waiting for us to pick it up a bit. We usually don't flip the switch until August and May is always brutal for our record.

Need some bats to start waking up. Angelo Martinez has been a nice surprise - former 1.3 from Indy doing some good work in limited action.

I'm still interested in acquiring a SS/CF and an impact bat. I've had some discussions, but if you haven't posted a trade block and have anyone, shoot me a PM - now is the time.
