Not like it’s going to be seen but 95% of my team is available so feel free to ask

Thanks Matt!

6-1 sim for the Pilots (3-0 at Los Angeles, 3-1 vs. Philadelphia). Back to the top of the Bock (for now)!

I overpaid to get him, possibly by a lot, but IFA SP Demetrius Insua is turning into a really good player. He's up to #15 on the Top Pitchers list and is pacing a 16-6, 2.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 4.3 WAR season in just 173 IP. I really kicked myself for not going with SP Micah Scott instead, but now that Insua has turned his early struggles around and Scott has blown out his arm, I don't feel so bad.

Seattle 2B Johnny Thompson (mentioned in the DK last week) and OF Richie van Luik currently are #1 and #2 in the BLB in batting average at .429 and .388. I don't expect either to keep that pace but pretty crazy to see.

Another pretty good week in California. It seems like 4 wins is the minimum a team in the Bock needs just to stay afloat.

Much maligned Jimmy Welborn was put back into the starting role this sim. In his first game, he went 3 for 5, with a grand slam. Hopefully, it's welcome back for the old Jimmy!
