2006 Off-Season Sim 3 Complete - Next SIM Tues 6/10

[funclown]

I think we take a step back this year. I think we win 88-90 games, which won't get it done. We're in pretty good shape in the foreseeable future though.

You said that last season. Strange rebuilding plan your on.

The IL won't be easy for least 4 seasons. Eventually those "blue bars" in the WC will do it.

We did take a step back. I went from 113 wins to 97. Only difference was with 97 wins I was the 5th best team in the league and missed the playoffs.

I traded away Watts, Manhos and Perales which is nearly 15 WAR and $35m in salary - throw in Alex Torres and that's a lot of wins to replace. Plus Cash is out until July. That's huge.

The plan was to make a run for 2 years (which we did) while keeping the system full through drafts and trades. I'm relying on young guys to pick up that slack, which has been the plan. Despite winning 210 games in 2 seasons, we've managed to maintain a deep farm system and my core guys right now are in the 27-28-29 range.

I'm short on middle IF's (who isn't?) and have probably too much faith in DJ Boatner at SS, but I'd still make that deal again.

I have my future C in Richardson ready to replace an expensive Salcedo.

I'm deep in the OF with Bryan, Garza, and Berry. I also have Pereda and Roark both finally playing fulltime this season after some sloooooow cookin. TJ DiMaggio finally gets his chance to make an impact for us.

I have Angulo (#3) and Pulido (#22) ready to join Coma, Lindsey, Wences and hopefully Bell as fixtures in my rotation as early as next season.

Plus, I still have guys in the Top 100 I don't even know where they fit. Guys like 3B Alex Gomez, P's TJ Kline, Navarette, Guardian, Marrujo, Ochoa.

I still have all my important future picks, except my 2nd and 3rd this season which I used to get Guardian and TJ Davis last season in the same rounds.

I'm pretty happy with our plan. Now, if Pat would just get out of the way, I'd be happier.

You'll be in the mix for sure.

Pat never gives up and the IL will be hell next four seasons. Have fun.

But if I'm out of the Stout in 2008...

I will buy you a beer. I don't see us realigning.

Btw Pat, your freebie is 35th in game. Still great pickup. My scout says high ceiling. Tom....WTF? Who turns an IF into a dime a dozen RP?

And now no happy Tear Drop? Your on my shit list.

27th on the top system list. Regardless, he will stay on the 25 man all year. Might cost me a few wins but he's now my top prospect.

Lol, not be insulting, Check "in game". This season the HTML is wrong.(it's false info)

Could be a solid 2B over time. You picked almost last. The legend of best GM continues,

[Pat]

A lot of luck involved. He wasn't even my top choice.

Well, I guess he was technically because my top two were added to teams 40 man.

The HTML is correct now. He's 35th.

And it's just the off-season where the HTML and game sometimes don't link up due to the sim time window.

My system went down which seems weird to me but okay. Another 2nd overall pick should bring it up.
