2010 Regular Season SIM 1 Complete - Next SIM Sat 1/24

[funclown]

Fairly solid draft class if I say so myself. Couple studs and a bunch of good prospects

A boat load of high schoolers which is fine by me. Be real interested to see what Indy does with the 1st pick. Could of been real cut and dry if you exclude injuriy factors.

2-4 - both wins coming from Zach Reeves. He truly is an ace, we would be 0-6 if it wasn't for him.

Dunn hasn't hit his stride yet. He started off slow last year. When he gets going so does the offense. I was happy with our pitching for the most part, much improved.

Glad I traded my picks.....

@ draft pool

[Jake]

When will you people recognize? 6-1 with a bunch of scrubs...

[Lintyfresh85]

We could go 0-162 and I'd still watch the replays just to watch Dani Trujillo play.

3-3 and still can't hit.

So if the first week is any indication, this is going to be the Chiba-Fujii show.

We have 12 home runs as a team which is tops in the IL. The downside is that the reigning IL SS has 4 of those while The Big Stud has 5. So obviously injuries are a concern this year. Agains small sample size, but no glaring issues in the pen yet and some pretty promising performances from Jimmy Matoon and Alejandro Ruedas who have 4 wins, 18 K and just 1 walk between the two of them to start the year.

Somehow they managed to do this away from home.

There is a lot of power potential in this draft.

I don't like the hitters, but I do like the pitchers. There may be some good ones left in the top of the 2nd round - same range I got Pulido and Clarke.

Hopefully next year is better - 2 1sts (including PAW) and 2 2nds.

The draft is pretty bad. And yes there are some great SP's, there always is. But the lack of hitting is comical. My scout had ONE hitter in the top 15. WAY too much pitching. His second rated hitter was all 4's and 5's and rated about 20-24 overall. Just terrible.

[Spectre]

First of all, first place! Took 2/3 from Maine which is pleasing. It may take a little bit for Marshburn to get going as he missed ST but he will hopefully solidify the middle of the lineup.

Now the draft has been pitching heavy for a while. For some reason, not seeing lots of impact bats anymore. I don't know if its a coding issue but its another reason I want to move on to a new version :)

Interesting. I was looking this morning and I think I saw probably 4-5 bats that should go Top 20. I'm not sure where my scout ranked them though.

[Sully]

Definitely not seeing 4-5 bats in the top 20. The drafts lately have all pretty much sucked.

You must have an ability scout. Those guys typically hate the draft.

Its not star studded yet again unless your in the top 10. There are some projects though and the game did sprinkle in a few Intl players. The days of 100 outfielders though do seem to be over.

I believe Duane Porter is the last remaining BLB player who was active in the 1980s. Amazing the run that fucking guy has had. 77 appearances at age 19, and he's still going at age 41.

Anyone know of another 1980s guy left?
