Did someone change his nickname or did the AI really give him LOATHSOME?
Orlando or Osick changed it for me.
For background info:
Due to injuries he ended up starting most of the 2050 season for me at one place or another in the infield. He was actually my starting 3B during the last month of the 2050 season and then he destroyed Buffalo in the first playoff series by hitting a bunch of doubles every time he got up to the plate.
@Lloyd Carr almost killed hisself because of that series. He was basically my version of "0-10" Adams and seeing those Loathsome 40 hitting ratings destroy him made Lloyd so mad.
Then in 2051 I replaced him with Juarez (All Star 3B) and demoted TAGG to AAA, thinking this would make my team better since it was the only real change I made. My wife got mad at me for sending DOUGLASS to the minors because DOUGLASS is her favorite player and she gets mad that I call him Loathsome because "he tries so hard." I tell my poor wife all about my WBL team on a daily basis, so she's really in tune with all things in the WBL world. The 2051 WBL team was horrible, but Douglass lead the AAA and AA teams to great success. My wife said "I told you not to demote Douglass Tagg." HMMMMMMMM. So in 2052 I brought him back up and the riggers were a playoff team again.
After
extensive statistical analysis, I realized just having Douglass on your team is good for about +13 wins a season.
