SIM COMPLETE - 1986 - ST 1

[Andrew]

Next sim: Sunday

[Pat]

Lamberts and Latham return to DC!

[Jistic]

Looks like we're the winner for losing a player for the season. 25yr old SP Herman Fisher.

The good news. He was our #5 BEFORE we signed Geake so he was gonna be in AAA. Glad we brought bodies up to lessen our odds. PHEW!

[Pat]

I lost 1985 IL Rookie of the Year, SS Pete Summers for a month.

[Clay]

Wow... Aurillo got dinged again. Sucks for that kid. Hope it's not a pattern. He's a beast.

[Gyrodork]

Man, I GOTTA' figure this FA contract issue out. The owner just won't let me offer anyone more than a 1-year contract. I had a legitimate shot at signing a couple of guys that could have helped me; but everyone I was interested in wanted at least a 2-year contract.

Nearest I can figure, the AI must be assuming that expired contracts will be extended at the existing levels (or higher). Based on my current budget and continuing contracts, my offers would not have put me over my budget in "a future year". I don't have a very strong SP rotation now. The Javelinas could be taking a giant step backwards this season.

Locked up Haydon for 4 years at a reasonable price and did alright in ST. Sykes, John, and a few others are coming up for the rest of ST just to see how they do.

Tim O'Fay is pissing me off, though. He's batting leadoff, starting every day, and his expectation is to be at the top of the lineup, yet his Role on Team morale is "angry". What the hell else do you want?

Same here. I've been having to PM Andrew to make offers for me because I can't make any offers longer than 1 year.

It's to his hip... the other was to his elbow... he should be fine.

Decent sim. No injuries, and that's all I can ask for.

You're doomed now. As soon as you talk about it then you get hit with them the next sim.

[liquidcrash]

Nevada Guizan got a little banged up for us and will miss the rest of Spring, but that's it for injuries. Cabezas came down with heat exhaustion and had to sit a couple days but he's better now. Other than that we went 9-3, hit the ball pretty well with solid pitching. Nino absolutely raked, nothing new there. In a positive note for us, Shawn Gates threw 4 innings of no-hit ball in his last start.

[Matt]

So bringing up guys from AAA doesn't start paying them if I move them back but it does add them to my 40 man roster?

[mahoney2]

Damn lost 3 of my young guys, Nickell, Ortiz and O'Fallon. O'Fallon's gone until May.

I believe after this next sim (ST) before it clicks over to the regular season, you can send the guys back without them getting a contract.
