SIM COMPLETE - 1984 - ST 2

[Delandis]

What are you guys doing out there in Denver? Letting your employees drive drunk?!!!

[Delandis]

What date did this sim start?

[Clay]

-- Im certainly not reading anything into Spring Training... but good God did Wilton Harcourt come to play this spring. He ended the spring at .423 with 7 HRs and 22 RBIs with a boatload of XBH's. Let's hope this is a sign.

-- In other news, "The Skull" pitched 4.0 scoreless in back to back starts to end the spring. Hopefully, that is a sign that he may find a rhythem. He's still throwing too many pitches and I'll be holding his pitch count way down.

-- Danny Nelson did not bounce back from his back-to-back injuries and had a miserable spring. Yikes. In a contract year though.

-- Jerry Dreyer, who was going to be the #4/5 guy in the rotation got bone chips in his elbow and will be down for the season.

-- Signed Tom Cirlos to be our utility guy. Feel much better going into the season with his glove than old man Reyes.

-- Speaking of old men, brought back Joe Sargentini to be our 5th OF, grab some pinch hit ABs and maybe do some DHing in inter-league.

-- Joshua Poling will head back to Detroit to play the season at AAA. Injuries could force him back into the bigs... but he needs another season in the D.

-- One of my favorite players that I've drafted, Vern Branch (3rd Round in '82) took a ratings boost and jumped into the Top 100. Branch, like top hitting prospect Yortiki Maeda, was a 16 year old in the infamous "Child Labor Draft of '82". Branch is 18 now and has taken a nice boost.

Colonials '84! Catch the Fever! Well... it's more like a rash!

I thought about picking him up to hopefully let him retire in Dallas but I have too many left-handed bats. I probably should've checked out his splits to see how he does against lefties (if I remember right he did ok).

Maybe I can sign him to a one-day contract after he retires so he can retire as a Snapper.

Errr...

[Clay]

Andrew, have you gotten in touch with Matt to fill the vacancy? He's a super-dedicated player and will be in it for the long-haul. He's reliable and I can vouch for him 100%

The Ownership Committee is weighing all options at this time and a decision will be made as quickly as possible.

Good to hear that you're hard at work and earning your hefty salary as co-commish

Oh... I'm not on the Ownership Committee. Bunch of old white dudes. I just get them coffee.

They meet as often as the trade committee.

[Delandis]

I've got a newfound respect for baseball GM's. This is very time-consuming. If I win some games, it will then be time-consuming AND satisfying.

[Clay]

I waived all of my "+'s" in the minors.

[mahoney2]

Yeah, same here, they all hate me now.
