For Upcoming Sim

Just remember those with Minor League contracts aren't really Minor League contracts if they don't have options remaining.

If someone is claimed that had a minor league contact with no options left AND you want them back, he will be put on your BLB roster and 40 man roster manually and then DFA'd before the sim (because you have 26 or more players). That should give him a minimum contact and the ability for any team to claim him as before. This time though the claiming team will either have to keep him in the BLB or waive him again.

Please make sure though you have room in your 40 man initially for him to be placed there.

Well, we went 7-0 and nobody got seriously hurt. I have nothing to complain about.

Everybody should watch out for B.J. Mulcahy. After ripping eight homers in spring training, he hit three in the first week of the regular season. He could put up huge numbers this year after coming over from Indianapolis last July.

Also, Zak Gaston has a .538 OBP so far.

I'm not prepared to live in this Denver BC centered world.

Haven't seen the sim. I'm assuming this means we did well.

Took 2 of 3 from Pittsburgh and then got swept by Maine. It's going to be that kinda year for us, I think.

Went 1-2 vs. Windy City and 2-1 @ Carolina. About what I expected.

So far the makeshift bullpen has been lights out. 19 innings pitched with zero runs allowed. I don't expect it to last but they really kept it together this week.

No injuries, is nice. Tyler McLouth will start his rehab assignment in three weeks. Catcher Dave "Champ" D'Orio is on pace for 243 strikeouts. Not...good.

[Spectre]

Not a bad start- better than the 1-5 starts I've had the last few seasons.

Lol, well that didn't work.

[Pat]

Lol, well that didn't work.

Or...did it?

Or...did it?

Well maybe. Like to have some amount of fans present for Mondays sim.

LA chants DuFours name 12 times against Cleveland... pat Yahn gets his first CG... Palomares with 2 wins. Good start for the pitchers.

is the draft order in game correct? minus any trades

4-2. I have a feeling Jimmy Jones is going to have a very big year. New Guy Danny Torres hits .400 with 3 homers and 8 RBIs. Olivares had a nice rookie start. I think we're going to be a pretty good baseball team.

2-5. Maine came into Toronto and destroyed us. Happy with the offence but hope the arms can turn it around so we don't dig ourselves a hole in April.
