Stat of the Day!

DFA: NY, Pho
Export: WC, Bat, Syr
Roster: SDR

[Matt]

Rookie League roster limit will be set to 45 before next SIM. So even if you get the error when exporting as long as you are 45 or below you will be fine. Currently only a few teams are over the 45 (Bal, Was, Phi, Sea)

5-2 for the Bats. We lost the first game against Philly when Alston was crushed and chased from the game in the second inning, so an inauspicious start from our new "ace." He did better in his second start of the week against Seattle, who we took 3 of 4 from in that series. We're 50-23 and 6.5 games up on Carolina in the division, so I like what we're doing.

Good week at the plate for my catching tandem of Aden Grant and Elmer Gregory - they combined to hit 13/26 with a HR and 6 RBI. According the Positional Strength, they are by far my weakest position, but I've been fine with how they've played so far, and they're projected to have a WAR of about 3.7 between them. Outside of those two, Nunes drove in 10 runs and Zuniga and Alonzo had nice weeks, so the middle of my lineup looked good. We won all 3 one-run games this week to even our record in those games at 10-10.

From the draft, Grant Garrison made his debut on the Top 100 at #28. A few other players showed up on my organizational top 30, most notably Adrian Gramling (4th round) at #7. Between some trades and graduating a few prospects to the BLB roster, my minor league system isn't nearly as deep as it was, but I'm happy with where the new guys showed up.

Thanks Matt!

Seattle sweeps California (3-0) but only gets one in DC (1-3).

Dave Hoyt is a monster.

Pawtucket 3-4. We acquired SP David Taylor in what hopes to round out a solid rotation cuz lord know no matter how many contact hitters we try to bring in they won't hit. Time will tell. Luckily the Ale has kind of floundered around to give some amount of home. The game won't simply allow 5 teams from one division in my opinion so theres a shot.

I still don't feel it at all for this team right now. Its almost like no matter what moves we do this season were only slated to win X amount of games and thats it. Just not seeing alot of spark right now to go along with allowing weird 10 run 7th innings?

On the bright side, we took a boot on the farm with SP Lawson debuting at #40 and our second round #128. I actually thought it would come in reversed. See how long this last before they drop off the face of the earth. Seems can't miss Olvera is starting to do the usual for us.

Please don't try and sign these players to contracts this SIM. They were created after the draft pool was pulled from the game and used for the utility and will be placed back on their respective NCAA/CCBL teams.

How do stop a contract signing again? I really don’t want to start over. CL T Smiley I’ll remove.

[Matt]

It's ok. I think too many teams already exported.

Whoever gets him we'll just put him back on the feeder team. Throw a nice refund your way.
