THANKS BRAD!

Seattle goes 8-5 but more importantly no injuries. It's only one sim and I don't buy too much into Spring Training stats, but the one player I did want to keep an eye on was RP I-po Chai. His stuff looks pretty electric as he struck out 10 in 6.1 IP, 3rd best in K/9 amongst pitchers with 10 or more Ks. Still not sure what his role will be in the bullpen but very excited to see him playing well.

Another thing I wanted to mention that will probably sound like complaining but it's really not! I've noticed over the years that Free-Agents do have preference when signing deals. I know a few teams mentioned it this off-season that players signed with other teams despite offering more money, and I know others have seen that throughout the years. But where I really notice it is in minor league signings. This sim, Washington and Maine signed 10+ players that I also offered minor league contracts to. When you look at the minor league signings this week those two teams signed the majority and I would assume I wasn't the only other team offering guys like CJ Johnson, Bruce Gonzalez, Jimmy Macaluso, Dave Flatland, etc, minor league deals. But I actually really like that. It makes sense and it's realistic. Those are arguably the two most historic franchises in the league.

In injury news, nothing too catastrophic. The only long-term one was RP Aiden White of Dallas. In FA news, Rizer to DVS, Webber to DC, Cardona and Brouwer to DEN, Calvert to WIL are all good players on the cheap. Still a lot left if you got money to burn!

I hope to get some variety of a podcast out soon just been overburdened.

I see a strange gap where it appears to be a mid month start?

I see Spring Training ending on 4/6 and then Opening Day on 4/10 on my schedule.

Mine has ST ending 4/6 and Opening Day on 4/11. First time I've noticed staggered Opening Days in the BLB.

The utility should be updated?
