3-3. 1-2 vs Wilmington, 2-1 vs Washington.

Travis Skinner is a man.

The Bock is now all under .500

1-9 in our last 10 and a chance for the Porter crown is fading fast.

3-3 this week. Took 2-1 against Maine and 1-2 against Hartford. Two of those losses were 1 run affairs too.

We are still injured and stink but in first. Still want to get younger by moving some vet pitchers (Soto? Aaron?) to make room for Dodd and Neal. Also like to move any position players. Looking for prospects still.

Can a baseball guy explain to me how I have such a +ZR but 9th in defense?

Your team has guys that can cover a lot of ground, thus a higher ZR, but they also make their fair share of errors, which is the lower fielding %.

I'm running out of bodies.

They also can't turn DP's.

Want some of my old men? I'll move any of them for 4th round picks.

In A ball my new staff did well. From Tam to Melgoza, and Carter to Daywalt.

Benge is rolling in AA. Parra has figured it out in AAA. We might have some arms to call upon in the future. No one super dominant but a good pack of reliable arms.

Last years Rule 5 pick Brown is honing his skills in AAA and doing very well. Hoping that confidence builder allows him to make a nice transition to the big leagues. His control is an issue, however, so he may be a reliever.

Speaking of relievers, Mueller is pitching out of the pen and doing a fine job. Quick way to get him work and build some confidence. Still worried about that control. It's the only thing holding him back.

Bankston had a nice week with the big league club.

Just patience.

Well we're the worst team in baseball. We've now lost Ming Er and a catcher for awhile...but hey we beat Pawtucket! That's all that really matters.

We made some promotions this sim. Since we're focusing most on our AAA team the biggest week has to belong to last years number 1 pick Victor Robles. Robles at 22 has made his way to the last level of the minors. How did he do? He's batting .632 his first week.
He had a 5 for 5 game and a 4 for 4 game, and of course won player of the week his first week up. We weren't expecting him to grow this fast but we dont' want to hold him back. What was looking initially as a backup player to 'Not so Big' Jon Gutierrez now may be more than that.

The Golden Heroes take over first place this week as they attempt to win the first AAA championship since 1979 and hopefully be a preview of things to come at the next level. We don't have any veteran players on this team. We're looking at a likely 12 players being promoted next year, all of them being current or previous top 100 prospects. Unprecedented in this organizations history.

Thank you. I'll make the necessary adjustments. I couldn't figure out why our defense was so much worse this year and I think this is it.

Thanks to you too Linty.
