SIM COMPLETE - 1987 - Regular Season 9

[Clay]

Also big news for California.

For the first time in history we have a player on the Top Players list. Just our luck, we actually have two!

Grandon hasn't been on there at all in the last two years? I find that hard to believe.

Nope. His ratings were never very good.

[Clay]

Nope. His ratings were never very good.

They were at least as good as Poling's OSA (5-5-5-5-5) and he's been on for close to a year.

I bet he's been on there.

P.S. Washington's Robert Abbott has 1 TB in our series.

True...but he did only play in one game...and had a hit in every game of his debut.

.381 with a .959 OPS and three steals.

[Ryan]

Can it make any difference if he is ready to play again mid December instead of mid January? Maybe a 7-month injury results in a ratings hit but the 6-month one does not, for instance.

It might even be better to leave it at 7 months since I don't think that injured players are subject to off-field injuries. A guy who has been cooped up for 6 months and recovers in mid-December sounds like a good candidate for a broken leg from a skiining accident to me.

If you walk away from a skinning accident with nothing more than a broken leg, you should consider yourself lucky!

[Carlos]

Interleague play!!! Yeah!!! Drawings Dallas and Denver first!!! Boooo!!! At least they're at home! Not sure how it aligns, but definately would love to get a Magness vs Brode in this week.

Bring out the boos.

You're playing against one of the best road teams in the BLB. We'll be ready!

[Clay]

Certainly not excited to play either of these teams. Just glad you each have to sit a bat. None of this panzy DH crap.

[BradleyB]

Yeah, it happens almost every year.

FYI - Now that you know he's done, you should decline that mutual option for next year and get him off next year's books so you have a better picture for extensions.

you can do that? (in game, or does the commish have to do it?) thought we had to wait for the offseason.

It was a rule added last season.

Team or Mutual Options for the next season can be declined during the season. Post it in Andrew's thread.

[ChubbyBanana]

4-3 Sim.

Hopefully we can stay around .500 in interleague play.

Trying to get a rebuild started is tough as fuck and I had a rough sim.

At least I have the BLB's Overacheiver of the Year in Pete Hampton.
