SIM COMPLETE - 1983 - Regular Season 24

[rubisco43]

Wow! Don't be fooled by their close to .500 record. The baseball Gods hate Dallas. Just when their prospects are starting to blossom, they get a $22.0 million dollar china doll. What a miserable string of injuries for Samarano. Now an entire season lost.

I know Windy City wasn't happy with losing so much talent this off-season for financial reasons... but between Samarano's injuries (one every month of the season - I'm counting late March's for April - including a 12-13 monther) and the apparent freefall of Nick Arce.... I think W.C. sold high. It's like Justin Timberlake dumping Britney Spears just weeks before she went bat shit crazy.

Hoover is still productive. I think I gave up too much, but I can't complain right now.

Speaking of Melgoza, I just posted this week's version of "This Week in the BLB". Check it out here:

One of my young pitchers potential dropped from Stuff:3-->2. Does that mean he won't get any better than 2?

[rubisco43]

no, ratings will change from year to year based on performance (amongst other variables).

[Lintyfresh85]

No. It's a weird system.

It means that your scout thinks he'll only be a 2 at the peak of his career. Thing is, if he's above that mark now, he could stay that way for years...

Plus the game has a lot of talent changes... so he could shoot to a 5 tomorrow. It's pretty random imo.

Oh yeah... Have I thanked you yet today, Liquid??? I like free Prospects.

Your welcome. If there's anything else I can do, just let me know.

Your welcome. If there's anything else I can do, just let me know.

I'm OK right now, but I'll let you know.

I noticed my CF decided to get hurt AFTER he just signed a 3-yr extension. What an ass.

It's threads like this that brought me back to BLB. You guys are hilarious.

I can take him off your hands if you're worried that he won't amount to anything.

I'll give you Sully's first round pick. Trust me, it's ok. I traded him the pick but I'm not sure we ever talked about rights. Shhh, it's all in the small lettering.
