Trim your rosters!

The schedule IS different this year.

Minor leagues don't start until the 2nd week and the Triple-A regular season goes into the month of September.

Deleon finally signs. I feel a little better about our offense.

Bats go a respectable 6-6 this sim to finish at 10-14 for Spring Training. Had another injury, as soon as we get the diagnosis for LF Jerry Sanchez (two weeks), 3B Tyler McLouth hurts his shoulder and will miss significant time (6+ weeks). I have infield depth so we aren't desperate but losing the BLB batting leader to a significant injury doesn't bode well for the season.

My owner has lowered his expectations for the first time in as far back as I can remember. He expects us to just make the playoffs this year. We will be lucky if we can sniff .500 with the way the year has started.

Congrats. Dude saved my season last year.

We "won" our division with a 14-10 spring training, but I doubt we'll be doing that this year. The rest of our division improved themselves in the offseason while we began a rebuild. Heck, we traded Johnathon Morris to another team in our division!

No huge/surprising standouts in Spring Training, but our top prospect Alex Armenta had a nice spring.

Like real life, good

[Carlos]

Soft finish but just about where I really think this team will be. The hope is 80+ wins but I think this team is built for 75 and some luck here or there will push us over that mark.

Lots of young guys still need to figure themselves out.

Another season where Guadamuz will miss considerable time. Starting to view the assets traded away for him as sunk costs. Sigh.

record was awful as expected, but I like how my guys under 26 did in the Spring. Tobs are happy.

[Jistic]

For the first time during our run the owner now says that he expects us to win it all. Yeah good luck with that!

Liam Ingle is 2nd in HR's and RBI in spring. He will be on a new team very soon. Injury wise Ortiz will be back in 1-2 weeks. Also had two new pitchers debut on the top 100 list. Hopefully with a good draft we will be able to start getting our farm back in order.

It's Matt's fault for selling me damaged goods!

Well, at least we've still got Zamora!

Who's batting average is 75 points higher when in the lineup with Frantz. True story!
