2004 Offseason 7 - FA4 SIM Complete - Next SIM FRI 11/15

I'm with Linty.

Bats are exported and ready. Preseason preview says Morgantown is going to win the Stout.

The computer fails to factor in my incompetence as a manager when it comes to strategy settings and line-up adjustments, but it would be nice to finish above .500 for the first time in team history. I don't think there is any way we challenge for the division.

They always have some of my favorite non-Bulldogs. Feliciano puts up MVP numbers this year and does the Condor soar this year?

Either way, look out, Mr. Fujii.

Fujii is a humble star. He will gladly share the wealth if a challenger is deemed worthy. No steroid fulled "logo" years for my guy.

Same here except for if my pitcher's eye takes a hit, it may actually mean something since we play in a real league.

"Real League" huh? Don't make me re-invoke my curse...

LA is going to hit the ball this year. I feel really good about the offense. The defense should be solid compared to last years nonsense. The pitching is not going to fair as well. Hautbourg took a velocity hit and we got no development out of Robbins. We had Kelvin Diaz slotted to take over for JP Johnston but he suddenly dropped off the top prospect list and my scout keeps giving him a MR report. The same happened to Felipe Vega making my trades with PHI the worst in my history of running LA. Brad is dead to me.

Alternatively...

If you come at Fujii, you best not miss.

To bad he commands enough of your budget that could pay for two really good pitchers.

We are less then 3 days away from Funclowns 2004 IL preview.

Can't wait to hear what my #1 fan thinks.

Preseason predictions look about right...

Hey no more statslab predictions? Miss that feature or am I missing it with my eyes and not my heart?

I do enjoy knowing the HTML has predicted that I spent $275 MM this offseason for 10 wins.

I mean that's actually pretty damn good. Too bad we won 51 games last year.

Lots of young faces make their New York debuts.

Top 100 prospects Alejandro Astimbay (1B) and Abraham Santana (C) will see action in spring and are favored to win spots in this lineup. Overall, I'm a lot happier with the offense than I have been in a while. With Terry Mast maturing an additional year, I think he'll be among the league leaders in HR despite playing in my park. Gene Dixon will have to be better. Chuck Durham is healthy again as well. Francois St. Laurent will have a full season to be prepared this year.

Joey Simpson will be back in the rotation and will anchor a rotation that is as good as I've ever had. Raul Reyes is still a starter for now but I have enough depth that I could swing him back to the pen if needed but OOTP is convinced he's a starter. I have a lot of bullpen depth and a couple of swing arms.
