SIM COMPLETE - 1987 - ST1

Welcome back Dante Geake!

5 mil, worth every penny.

[Andrew]

Great value there. I wish I had some cash left over because there's still some good players available. Especially since Porter is out for the year.

[Jim]

I made an offer to Geake, that if I remember right, was better than yours. I think it was $7.5 for the first year, $4.5 for the 2nd year and a 3rd year team option at the same amount. Apparently he has no desire to go back to where he started his career.

[Pat]

I offered one year $5 mill as well.

[Guest]

Fallon hurt, outfield thin as hell. 2B is thin so I may have to start Eden there instead of letting him play more in AAA. Fail.

[Spectre]

Well, I'm ready to go this season. The offense finally has the potential to have some firepower. I'm relying on a few older players but I had money to play with, no use letting it just sit there.

Where should we post the injury adjustments????

Adrian Boyd got 10 months and I believe by rule it can be shortened to 178 days.

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 494pt;" x:str="" width="659" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"><td x:num="" style="height: 12.75pt;" class="xl26" height="17">178</td><td>fractured coracoid (shoulder)</td><td>a fractured coracoid bone in his shoulder</td></tr></tbody></table>

Commish to do thread is fine.

Will Porter got 7-8 months and it can be shortened to.... 455 days.

I got very lucky to dodge a more significant injury. For some reason, the AI pitched Joe Arrendondo on back-to-back days twice this sim:

He only threw about an inning on the second day in each case, but that's not cool.

[Lintyfresh85]

How about this stat?

Joe Negron, of all people, currently holds a 17/1 K/BB. I was looking to cut the guy after he blew up my pen last year. Will be interesting to see if he can carry it over to the regular season.

[Clay]

Always have to take ST stats with a grain of salt, especially for relievers. You have to factor in that the AI subs a lot in the late innings of ST games, so the relievers face a ton of AAAA type guys.

That being said, Negron does have it in him to be very good.

[Lintyfresh85]

You should talk to my AI then. It didn't sub out my players, ever.

All of my starters outside of RF and C, started and played the entire game, every game.

[Guest]

Ryan O'Connors is terrible. He's taken 2 ratings hits since he's been here, went from top 3 starter in '85 to a #5 guy at best last year, and now has a 9.31 ERA in spring training with 11 BB's to 3 K's. Now I need to go out and seek a replacement.

Hmmm... weird. How many players do you have up for ST?
