Thanks for your patience. There's a lot of moving parts involved. HTML should be up in a bit. Let me know if you have trouble with the league file.

I'm having trouble with my team losing 100 games again. But we keep improving!

We got embarrassed in a four-game set at home by Hartford, but it wouldn't have mattered. Syracuse got it done.

Pawtucket +24 game win improvement. Will take it.

Not digging the Ole Mens injury. We really got dinged up in the second half. It happens. Throw our hat in the ring and see what comes of it.

[Spear]

Of course we had to win 4 games and screw up our draft position.

Anybody else notice something wrong with the images? Looks like we went back in time. Did Brad not have his image pack updated?

Interesting tidbit...

Trujillo and Gamboa were once traded for each other. Now both have won their leagues batting title the same year.

What are you seeing? With only a few weeks until next season we'll get it all cleaned up by then.

Ha, yeah. I'll get that cleaned up for the next file. Sorry about that.

Are teams who didn't make the postseason OK carrying more than 25 players throughout the off-season? Want to make sure my roster is OK before leaving for vacation.

That's been my understanding in the past, yes.

[Matt]

Yes. You're good to go with 40 until opening day.

Removed Curtis and Crudge from my rotation to get them rest and line them up for the playoffs. So, of course, Curtis comes in for a save on the season's final day. WTF.

Also good to see Alex Martinez come off the DL and pitch 7 innings of shutout ball in his playoff tuneup.

[Carlos]

In case anyone was wondering: Denver did NOT make the playoffs.

I know it's shocking. We fought hard but we couldn't make up our 30+ game deficit in one sim.

Which is why we need OOTP 14.

12 and 13 have this stupid way of handling the pen. Basically it doesn't matter where you place guys. The game decides to throw anyone not a starter into the mix.

+30 Win improvement for us this year. Even with a -6 PYT record.

1st in the league in runs allowed. Improved as a team in pretty much every category.

Herberholz is the strikeout king for the 2nd straight year. Big Jon hit 40 HR's, but got injured the last week of the season so was unable to compete for the HR king title and lost by 1.

We've had several impressive rookie seasons. Neal, Mejia who is the overshadowed yet was our best starting pitcher. LOVE what Tom Arrington showed in his rookie season. 21 HR's, 21 SB's, 3 rookie of the month awards while playing a solid hot corner. Excited about his future.

Also happy with Victor Robles rookie year, and the way JJ Caplan really came on in the end. There is hitting talent finally here in WC, just have to hope it continues to develop.

Looking forward to a wide open playoffs.
