SIM COMPLETE - 1987 - Offseason 3

[liquidcrash]

Some solid names out there in the FA market. I have money to spend, too. Hmmm....

[Pat]

1) O'Hegarty
2) Maeda
3) Woodbury
4) Nino
5) Poling

vs.

1.) Nago
2.) Abbott
3.) O'Fallon
4.) MAP
5.) Murdock

I think it will be close.

We'll have to agree to disagree because I don't think it's even close. I think Nino and Woodbury are on a level that MAP potentially gets close to... but he's not there. I think O'Fallon and O'Hegarty have similar value. And I think you're undervaluing Maeda. Take his number from last year (when he was still undeveloped ratings wise) and project them over a full season. He could have 60 doubles and 25 triples once he's at his ratings.

Don't get me wrong, I like your team... I just think the ceiling on my team's batters is so much higher than any other team in the division.

Talent-wise, without a doubt. Nino and Woodbury are head and shoulders better than any player I'm throwing out there.

I'm not one to talk about injury-plagued outfielders (Robbins, Nago) but I doubt "Doorbell" plays much more than 100-110 games this year. He averages 133 games a year and he turns 31 this season. Plus, he had a pretty significant injury (3 months) to end his season. If that kind of injury happens in June instead of September, he is missing a ton of games. Also, in 1984, he had an 8-month injury in August. If one of those injuries happens in the first half of the season, you will likely have Nino 1987 all over again.

Not to be that guy... but... when is Virginia going to take that next step? Every year there's a lot of hope... and then there's an injury/lack of production and we're back at square one.

I hope success comes Clay's way... but until I actually see it... I have a hard time believing it will.

I blame Smear.

So are we using the in game list for Rule V or should we submit our own list to Andrew?

[Pat]

Send your own list via PM to Andrew.

Anything good? I haven't loaded the latest file.

[Ryan]

Haven't checked either.

EDIT: Just to note, this time my upload went through without shutting my firewall down. I like this. Something different each time I upload/export.

Also, why is my game in trace mode, and how do I shut it off?

[Gyrodork]

Anticipating a crappier-than-normal season. The patch had me sidelined while arbitration and the Rule V sims took place. I'm expecting to lose a couple of prospects. I'll also be spending money on some junk I was planning to leave out at the curb; because I couldn't remove the auto arby offers.

Oh well...It's not like we were suddenly going to be able to hit.

You aren't the only team in the Bock Division that has money to spend .

Tell me about it...

It's going to be a looong season in Los Alamos...

[Clay]

Hey! You're coming off a Bock Division Title! Fly that flag proudly!

I'm broke and will be struggling to stay at .500

I've heard that one before.
