Wow... Hansen is a nice young player. Thank you for taking him out of Wilmington.

He is one of my most frustrating players, to be honest. I really thought he would take off after last year, but has been a bust for most of this year. But, like you said, he's young and could really develope into a solid BLB'er.

The one good thing about this sim was the new street cred our minor league system got. Our overall system rank went from #7 up to #2 and we now have 9 guys in the Baseball America top 100 and 5 in the top 51, including #6 Justin Chewning (prev. 15), #23 Maureno Gonez (formerly in the 60s, I think), Raul Zamora at 26th (jumped about 50 spots), and recent trade acquisitions #37 SP Clarence Nicholson and #51 Mac Winson. I don't know how OOTP decides the top 100, or why guys move up or down every other sim, but this definately makes 0-6 sims easier to handle.

My guys always pick such good times to get hurt. Ray Provencia was gonna get a call-up when rosters expanded, but a strained elbow ligament that will keep him out for at least two months will put an end to that.

I had been debating on whether I would call him up an earlier, so I guess that decision was made easier for me.

Don Stevens is throwing an awful lot of pitches this season. 100+ pitches in every start except the 1st one when he got shelled.

Don't worry, he's on a 90 pitch count for the rest of the season
