SIM COMPLETE - 1999 - SIM 26

Rex Morgan is a special player. He really is. Misses 30 DL games spending time in the IL and he still recovers to play enough to qualify high across the board.

6th in average (.300)
8th in walks (86)
5th in slugging (.496)
2nd in OBP (.406)
4th in OPS (.902)
6th in VORP (47.1)

And in the top 10 in other categories no one understands.

Stout Slugger 2000. The campaigning begins.

Eh, besides walks and VORP, those stats speak nothing to playing time. Nice try.

Alexis Camilo for Stout Slugger 2000!

Jake and Z - When is the playoff preview podcast?

When is the draft podcast?

[Ryan]

When is the draft podcast?

boom.

That was pie in the sky. We only committed to Shavermetrics. And, someone's team just lost a few spots.

By the way, Stu Driscoll took a big dump on Shavermetrics this year. He must not have liked the fact that the 5 seconds you spent talking about the defending champs was mostly a criticism of him and his abilities.

Does Alexis Camillo want to take a look at Rex Morgan's season stats?

Actually, I'll hold up on that because Alexis Camillo doesn't know how to find those numbers.


And yes, I realize this doesn't make any sense. But shut up.

Shavermetrics doesn't measure individuals.

There's no 'I' in Shavermetrics.

You guys can make it up with an impromptu playoff edition.


Thanks in advance.

[Clay]

It'd be better with two non-playoff teams. It'd be hard for me to be unbiased, nor do I want to tip my cards.

They're actually pretty close now that he and I look.

But, Camilo has one stolen base, while Morgan has zero. Alexis is pretty excited about that. Conversation over.

Russillo is too busy with ESPN to do another podcast, obviously.

Agreed. Camilo looks good. But it's not his turn yet. Morgan will hand the baton when Morgan is ready to hand the damn fucking baton. Now skip away.

So, you're saying I am better than everyone thinks?

Awesome.

[Jake]

I won't have time to do a podcast until most likely the new year. Maybe a quick nooner at best.

Whales in 99. 5th straight playoff appearance and led the league in attendance. LA is a terrible match-up for us 2-10 this season. However, I have some faith in Chuck, Skipper & Abe. Everything from here on out is a bonus. Especially with how hard it can be to make the playoffs in the BLB. Soto and Gerard turned out to be solid pick-ups. We squeaked out 86 wins despite down years from a lot of our hitters.

Good season Z - you know I don't mean that sarcastically. Bad injuries at the end.

Good luck Jimmy.
