I'd pimp Victor Gonzalez here but Buzzel is the clear run away at 3B. Still though, he's hit .313 and posted an .816 OPS with 8 HRs and 50 RBIs. Not too shabby for his first real year in the league.

I will pimp Adam Nickell for OF, who is out on injury, but posting a .355 batting average with 15 doubles on the year.

How can we tell who is listed? Is the voting an in-game deal this season and has it started yet?

I should have been more clear.

I couldn't find him in the stats tab inside the game.

You can sort by position and he didn't come up at 1B. Andrew put him in, though.

No need to consider any of the Javelinas' hitters; although my 3B (Amoldo Andradez) has been a pleasant surprise (.293/.345/.474 - 18.7).

CL Carl Bell doesn't have a ton of saves (15); but has put up good ERA/WHIP/OAVG numbers (1.32/0.88/.161). Everyone has been good, but nobody has been great in the starting rotation.

I guess the good news is the Javelinas have been winning as a team. The bad news is, of course, nobody on this team commands much respect.

Who voted for Tim O'Fay? He's been meh for me.

[Carlos]

I forgot who I voted for, really. I see a bunch of numbers, I look at the player card, I consider the team, their position in the lineup, and I choose. Names mean diddly squat to me.

If I happened to vote for O'Fay then it was a total accident. I'm going to assume that whoever did did it by accident.

[Clay]

It was probably Linty.... man crush.

[Carlos]

Who is O'Fay next to in the voting card (one above and one below)? Maybe someone clicked the wrong circle.

[Carlos]

And I only keep saying this because I have this nervous fear that I did it.

[Clay]

I'm not sure O'Fay has really been that bad. Sure his numbers in the IL were much better than the DL... but the season as a whole has been ok.

[Lintyfresh85]

It was probably Linty.... man crush.

Official California statement: We wish nothing but the best for Mr. O'Fay.

Unofficial statement: I wish nothing but bad things on O'Fay. He was my first mistake as Califronia GM... but sadly, not my last.

And just after I bring it up he has a great sim, go figure.
