SIM COMPLETE - 1989 - Free Agency 3 (Off Season 6)

[umd]

Clearly I've won the offseason.

Guardamagni
Sanchez
Closson
Altahirano

Many have won offseason on paper championships around here. I have like 4 in the NCFA.

Paper Kodiaks?

Clay is right...I might as well make the Batavia trade block now!

We had some money to play with so I figured I owed it to the fans. Bring in a starting IF and a starting pitcher and try and get some wins. We have some young guns coming up...well at least my scout tells me we do...so you never know.

We can't compete with Philly and Cali...Cali just keeps getting better. The best part for us is Baltimore just keeps getting worse!

Offseason trash talk. Gotta love it.

[Matt]

Only 1 more sim until ST...I gotta talk fast while I can.

And here I was thinking we were friends.

LOL

Porter is actually really interesting (the teams... not the Owners)... Cali has sick pitching that just got better (on paper) but I'm still not blown away by their offense.

Philly on the other hand, may have the best offense in the IL, but I'm not blown away by their pitching.... BUT it is getting better.

All that being said... on paper... my offense could be historic this season. I think Gremades in a full season in the Virginia may put up historic numbers.

I'm putting it out there right now... if my pitching staff stays healthy, we're breaking the all-time record for strike outs in a season.

I'll tell the guys that led the league in ERA you said hello.

Sounds like we need a predictions thread.

I will lose 115 games.

So true!

Having said that... OOTP seems to have a much fairer AI than BBCF does.

Are those the same guys who had a 0.00 EPA in '89? (Earned Playoff Appearances)

Yep, top of the league there too.

[Clay]

Whoa... whoa... I like to think that Washington lead the league in not making the playoffs this year. I think you didn't factor in "hype" and "over-confidence". DC actually finished with a -76.53 EPA.
