[Lloyd Carr]

Well I am glad I got Goose. Luong injure and out for four weeks. Great way to start the year.

 

[Wolfman21]

son of a bitch i goofed. Guess i'll have to wait another sim to see how Geeves and Ruiz make their mark. Good news is that Geeves is hitting .385 in the off the bench roll he played the first two weeks.

 

[Wendell Gee]

Wow. Kusuma torn UCL, an Iron Man no less. Tough break for the Pac Men. #5 guy in the Vegas rotation.

Injury log

 

[Wendell Gee]

Jumping jack pete, I hate injuries to pitchers, even when they ain't mine. There's another one in the logs. Not the impact of Kusuma but still.

Chuckwagon.

 

[OU11]

I hate all injuries in the preseason

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Inions done for 4 weeks with an ankle injury, but really it's just because we're trying to keep him fresh

Glad I won the Skates sweepstakes though. Thank you @doh for bidding him up

 

[Yankee151]

Just noticed I had a random scout guy pop up in my Int Complex, could be the next JD Standard GOAT (aka he could be anywhere from average to really good)

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I've had a few surprises pop up in the IC. Does increasing the International Scouting affect this?

So many GOATs on False Bay already.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Immersion is at 100 right now. Can we get 2 sims a day?

 

[Yankee151]

My international scouting is at like 200k so who knows

 

[Karl Hungus]

It's been years since I've gotten anyone with more that 1*.

 

[OU11]

It's been years since I've gotten anyone with more that 1*.

After my huge boom, I haven't had one more than 1* in 4 years. All the ones that have been higher I've bought in IFA since then to keep the stream coming

 

[jdlikewhoa]

It's been years since I've gotten anyone with more that 1*.

Im pretty sure the guys my scout hit on that are now 4 & 5 star potential started as .5 and 1 star guys when they were 16 or 17

 

[Orlando]

Yeah they normally do. After a few months you will see their potential start to climb.

 

[OU11]

Mine haven't

 

[osick87]

So what you're saying is wait until they are 18 before I send them back home.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Mine haven't

Yep. Came in as 1*, stayed 1*.

 

[Orlando]

I said a few months. That's game time, not real time.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Was checking out Reel's team... Most owners come into the game with more than a few bad contracts. He'll only have one contract on the books after this year. Sitting in a good spot to make a FA splash next year, but that minor league system. ouch.

 

[OU11]

Reel hasn't started playing yet.

 

[Wendell Gee]

Reel hasn't started playing yet.

He's playaing.

 

[Wendell Gee]

I was in on the bidding. Would have liked to have had Skates in my infield, but the contract got a little too rich for me.

Edit: should have a video up shortly.

That Dung Sa contract isn't even that bad for his ratings.

Stealing Ability of 80. He doesn't fit your style anyway

[Orlando]

Somehow gooksta snatched up my last FA target for a million less. Good work mang.

 

[osick87]

Lucio Lopez is hitting well enough this spring that he will be a mid season call up if he is doing well in AAA.

 

[Orlando]

Spring Training has shown me nothing thus far.

 

[Gooksta]

Really? Hmm

 

[Orlando]

Yeah Hector Rivera. Maybe my offer didn't take. Who knows. Good get though.

 

[Gooksta]

Yeah.. surprised to see him avail this late..might actually get producrion from 3b this yr

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Could've had Pancho

 

[Orlando]

So was I. He should be a solid everyday player or a really good bench player.

 

[doh]

Rivera was my back up in case I didn't get Rankin. Disaster of an off-season for me thus far. I did get rid of the DLS deal/got nice stuff back for him. Also getting a lefty mashing OF/catcher was huge/Mason could provide major offense for me. But TJ for Kusama, not getting any good SP/RP, not getting a 2B means I think I'm around 78-85 win range. The good news is all of my best prospects are in AAA and almost ready to go.

Your pitching should be decent. The IF starters will be aight, but you have no depth. That OF.... I'm sorry for ur lots

Farid was 2nd in WAR in the NL last year and McHeshi is a beast. Van As will be good too just playing v LHP. I'll be fine in OF if I can get a OF who can hit RHP. My major concern is 2B being a black hole and bullpen being a dumpster fire.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Farid should be good. Didn't even notice that McHeshi plays OF too. Van As will probably come back to reality this year. I've had a few low rated guys (WBL & UBL) that played well in the OF for a season and then couldn't figure it out after that.

Everyone's bullpen is a dumpster fire. I think that's the hardest thing to get together in this game, or maybe I'm just salty from the postseason implosions year after year

 

[Yankee151]

Bullpens are just very shaky from year to year.

 

[OU11]

My pen has been great the last 3 years but it is because i have really good guys from top to bottom. The ones that have the inevitable bad year go to the bottom of the MR rotation and the ones who pitch well get moved up. If you only have 2-3 good ones it can be frustrating if one has a bad year

 

[Orlando]

My pen is normally pretty good yeT over year as well. Can you set a MR priority?

 

[Yankee151]

I usually set MR priority just depending on who's hot and who's not. Sometimes I let people be Loogys or Roogys if they are really struggling against one side

 

[fignuts]

This. ^

Use more often / Normal / Use less often

 

[Wolfman21]

My pen was great in 2041 and Amir Leduc was a stud. 2042 was exact opposite and Leduc added over two runs to his ERA and blew like 10 saves.

 

[Orlando]

Use more often / Normal / Use less often

Is this what you guys mean by priority?

 

[osick87]

THat's what I assume.

That's how I was going to do my Closer-less Bullpen. Put the best Relievers as MR use most often, make a lefty specialist and a long man.

 

[Orlando]

You just end up with a guy who throws 100 innings and one who throws 12 in my experience in the minors.

 

[osick87]
