THE GEORGIA BASEBALL ASSOCIATION

An OOTP6.5 Dynasty Thread



Well, Markus has given me permission to take this thing, which we both believe to be in the final beta stages, for a public spin. I've set up a 24-team association, with teams based on various high schools around Columbus, and Metro Atlanta. I decided to "doctor" things a little to help my own personal immersion at the beginning of my 30-season presim for history. I manually adjusted the fan loyalty and market sizes for all 24 teams so that certain ones would have certain advantages and disadvantages. These values were based loosely on overall athletic performance of these schools, with certain favorites of mine being big-market just for fun. :) Here is the league structure:

As mentioned, I'm going to presim 30 years for history. However, I'm going to do something different than I've ever done: actually report on each season--the stars, the champs, etc., so that I can take over a team in 2001 with some feel of immersion into the league.

:eek:

This ought to be good.

I'm disappointed in you, SkyDog.

How could you resist the lure of the Macon Whoopee?

[Radii]

I'm looking forward to this.

STAR PERFORMANCES

BATTERS, OPS >.975

LF William Benitez, Lakeside, 30 years old: .350-26-107 with 63 doubles.

LF Robert "Nine Fingers" Walker, North Springs, 37 years old: .316-30-96 with 48 doubles, 100 walks

LF John Knight, Stephenson, 25 years old: .332-40-117. Hmmmm...a young stud on a big-market team. Knight could do some serious damage as a Jaguar for years to come.

SS Pedro Aranda, Hardaway, 26 years old: .314-30-102, 46 2B, 88 BB, 35SB.

1B Valentin Bautista, Shaw, 26 years old: .326-36-113

1B Michael "The General" Byron, Stephenson, 27 years old: .310-40-108. Byron and Knight look like they could be a lethal combination for Stephenson.



HR > 45 (not previously listed)

RF Clifford Cosper, Stone Mountain, 26 years old: .297-47-118, 36 SB.



PITCHERS, ERA < 2.75

Nathaneil Bruns, South Cobb, 24 years old: 19-9, 1.97, 266 K's This guy was waaaaayyyy better than anyone else in the league this year, and is signed through 1972 with the Eagles. He was the 1(1) pick in the fantasy draft, and with good reason. Next-best ERA in the association? 2.67. :eek:

Steven Gonser, Tucker, 27 years old: 15-7, 2.67, 225 K's



PITCHERS, WHIP <1.00 (not previously listed)

None. Just Gonser (0.84) and Bruns (0.99)





DISPOSITION CHANGES

On July 1st, North Springs set its focus to rebuilding, and Stephenson to win now.

Marietta, Lakeside, Redan, Tucker and Hardaway set their foci to win now on 7/13, 7/14, 7/18, 7/19 and 7/23

Obviously, I need to stop on August 1st and see what teams' records are at that point, to get a better feel for these decisions. Five of the decisions look good. The North Springs and Redan decisions look bad in hindsight. However, I know that there's more to the decision than merely record. I know that team age goes into the decision, and I think contracts do, too.



POSTSEASON RESULTS

FIRST ROUND

Tucker over Southwest DeKalb, 4 games to 2

Stephenson over Marist, 4 games to 2

Brookstone over Wheeler, 4 games to 1

McEachern over Hardaway, 4 games to 1



LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Tucker over Stephenson, 4 games to 1

Brookstone over McEachern, 4 games to 3 (Brookstone wins game 7 in the bottom of the 10th as pinch hitter Ronald Broaddus, a backup shortstop, singles in the game-winner in a thriller.)



WORLD SERIES

Tucker over Brookstone, 4 games to 1. Tucker left fielder Pedro Valdecilla singles in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th of game five to seal the deal. 2B Anthony Kohr was the Tigers' star of the postseason, batting .364 with an OPS of 1.123 in 16 games.

Looks like South Cobb fans enjoyed watching Nathaniel Bruns perform. He is "well known" both locally and nationally. I'm guessing that had a good bit to do with their jump in fan loyalty, considering they only went 77-85.



38 year old Pitcher Hyakutarou Tashiro (file:////Ben_yl/Georgia%20Baseball%20Association.lg/LEAGUE_NEWS_BOX/p1675.html) from Japan has moved to the US and is now a free agent.
29 year old Pitcher Armando Tello (file:////Ben_yl/Georgia%20Baseball%20Association.lg/LEAGUE_NEWS_BOX/p1676.html) from Cuba has moved to the US and is now a free agent.
38 year old Pitcher Ezra Diaz (file:////Ben_yl/Georgia%20Baseball%20Association.lg/LEAGUE_NEWS_BOX/p1677.html) from Cuba has moved to the US and is now a free agent.



Tello is a 3-star performer. He should be a nice pickup for someone. The other two aren't much.

[Ben E Lou]

FREE AGENCY

I'm not sure what level to report on, but I'll start this season with all FA's who received contracts of $10M and up.



Marist: RF Albert Figueroa, $15.94M x 3 years. Figueroa is a 4-star player, solid defensively, and an outstanding leadoff hitter (80 contact, 132 eye, 67 speed, 68 stealing ability). He was .290-8-70, .402 OBP with 101 runs scored for Lassiter last season.

Stone Mountain: SP Stephen Gonser, $19.8M x 6. :eek: Big-market Tucker let him fly, instead signing a 3-star pitcher who had a 3.15 ERA last year. Is this a good move for the Pirates? Can they afford that contract long-term? Only time will tell.

Wheeler: 1B Henry Neidig, $10.4M x 4. Neidig is a 3-star first baseman with good range, and he's a solid hitter with average speed. Last season's numbers were .234-24-89, but his 60 in contact shows promise of better things to come for the 28-year old.

SW DeKalb: SP Basilio "Bingo" Valdes, $11.9M x 5. Valdes is a 3.5-star 27-year-old

Tucker: SS Sylvester Ward: $19.0M x 3. Yowza! Ward was a Gold Glove SS last year, and played in the All Star game. He's also got a pretty good bat (.310-17-94). HE comes over to Tucker from Stephenson.



Looks like $10M is a good threshold for reporting, at least for now.

[Ben E Lou]

AMATEUR DRAFT

POP: 50-52, 3 games out of Wild Card position

BRO: 53-49, tied for first

TUC: 43-59, 12 games out of first



I can live with all of those decisions. Now, let's see if the ones who moved to the margins (Harrison and Brookstone) made deals accordingly...



BIG DEADLINE TRADES

(involving a 3.5-star or higher player, or 4-star or higher prospect)

Southwest DeKalb makes a big pickup, sending 3 prospects to North Springs in exchange for C Daniel Belknap, a 4-star 27-year-old. Belknap has a good bat and decent arm at catcher, and has hit .313 over the course of '70 and '71, wtih 26 homers last year, and 16 so far this year. The Spartans, who are set to "rebuilding" pick up three pretty good prospects for a guy who was making $5.7M, and was eligible to make more via arbitration. I'll give this one a thumbs-up.



Harrison and Walton make a BIG trade. The "win-now" Hoyas send 5-star pitching prospect Ramiro Chacon to Walton in exchange for 4.5 star 29-year-old SP Simon Martinez.

Signings for >$10M



Dunwoody: RF Kenneth Sutherland--$10.5M x 6--This speedster, formerly with Southwest DeKalb, is one of the best leadoff man in the game right now. He has led the league in steals each of the past two seasons with 74 and 77, and is a good defensive outfielder as well. He's coming off of a .336-16-103 season in which he scored 123 runs and had a .406 OBP.



Hardaway: RF Davor "Champ" Fernandez--$18.7M x 4--Fernandez was an all-star for McEachern last year, putting up a .295-32-102 season. He also walked 118 times. He's got good range and an excellent arm in RF.



Lassiter: LF Christopher Dowden--$14.5M x 4--He's been an All-Star and a Gold Glove winner for Redan in the Eastern League, now he heads west. He has a cumulative .314 batting average, 49 homers and 202 RBI in his two seasons.



Columbus: SS Jose Iglesias--$16.82M x 5--The Blue Devils pick up a 2-time All Star, and very good defensive shortstop. Iglesias also has 45 homers, 89 steals, and a .283 average in two seasons.



Stephenson: SP Mark Hartwell--$19.5M x 5--The Jaguars pluck a 27-year-old All-Star pitcher from arch-rival Southwest DeKalb. Hartwell has 32 wins and a 3.72 ERA in two seasons



Lakeside: C Keneth Gaughan--$11.6M x 4--The Vikings grab this All-Star from Chamblee. Gaughan has hit .349, with not much power, in two seasons.



Walton: SP Floyd Perrotta---$19.3M x 3--Stone Mountain loses this power pitcher to the Raiders. Perotta was in the Top 10 in K's each of the last two seasons, and sports a 3.73 ERA.



Wheeler: RF Ernesto Palmieri--$12.2M x 3--OOTP's supply and demand FA system causes the Wildcats to overpay for this decent, but not great OF late in the FA period. His best season for rival Walton was last year: .278-10-52. He's pretty good defensively, but probably not worth this kind of cash.





AMATEUR DRAFT

1(1) pick: 20-year-old 3B Albert Lambert is the first pick. He's got some great potential as a power hitter, and has a very good arm at 3B.

BIG DEADLINE TRADES

(involving a 3.5-star or higher player, or 4-star or higher prospect)

South Cobb appears to be building a powerhouse! They pick up a 5-star prospect, 23-year-old SP Bill Plumlee in a deal with Shaw. In exchange for Plumlee, the Eagles send a 3-star SP, a 3-star prospect, and some cash to the Raiders.



Not a big trade, but I think it worth noting that I just saw a "win-now" team (Tucker) unload three prospects for a 2.5-star veteran CF who will be a FA at the end of the season. Tucker had been starting a 1.5-star guy out there, and they are locked in a three-way race in their division with Pius and Lakeside, and are also right in thick of the Wild Card race. Good to see some nice anecdotal evidence that the "win now" logic is working!



More on this...on the next day, they trade more prospects for a SS. Their big signee from last year, SS Sylvester Ward, was out for the season due to injury. This is pretty cool to see!!!

FREE AGENCY

Signings for >$10M



Wheeler: SP Xavier Ocejo--$19.7M x 5--The Wildcats sign the 28-year-old two-time Eastern League Cy Young winner. Ocejo has racked up 62 wins and a 3.09 ERA in three seasons.



Tucker: CL Chad Canela--$11.6M x 3--The Tigers grab Southwest DeKalb's fireballing 27-year-old closer. Canela has 99 saves and a 2.90 ERA in his 3 seasons, and also has 264 K's in only 204 2/3 IP. :eek:



McEachern: 2B Anthony Kohr--$19.7M x 6--Kohr was a 2-time All Star in Tucker. He's very good defensively, and the 28-year-old has increased his homers in each of his three seasons, from 16 to 27 to 34 last season. Combine his newfound pop with his good walk totals and 30ish steals per season, and he makes a great #3 hitter. He dominated the 1970 postseason when Tucker won it all, turning in a 1.112 OPS in 16 games.



Lassiter: SP Thomas "The Musketeer" Loggins--$10.9M x 3--Loggins, pitching for Pius, no-hit hated World Champion Marist last year. he's a two-time All-Star who struggled in '71, but went 15-7 with a 3.32 ERA last season for the Golden Lions.



Harrison: CF Robert Hubbell--$17.3M x 7--28-year-old Hubbell is just about as complete a player as you'll see. He can hit (.299 last year), hit for power (twice surpassing 40 HR's), run (91 SB's in 3 seasons), and has good range in CF (71) and outstanding range (92) in right. Lassiter's loss is Harrison's gain.



St. Pius: RF Otha Dey--$12.8M x 3--Dey was allowed to become a FA by the Golden Lions, who re-signed him. The 27-year-old's production dropped noticeably from '71 (.330-26-107) to '72 (.261-21-93). Mediocre fielder.



Stephenson: 1B Mitchell "The General" Byron--$19.9M x 5--The Jaguars re-sign one of their big boppers. Byron has 105 HR, 318 RBI and a .309 batting average in three seasons.



Pope: 3B David See--$11.4M x 4--Good defense. Outstanding arm. Decent bat. Was with McEachern.



Harrison: 2B Clayton Santiago--$13.2 x 4--Supply and demand, plus Harrison has big bucks to spend. This guy is a solid fielder and mediocre hitter, with good speed. Probably won't be worth the $$$.



AMATEUR DRAFT

1(1) pick: 17-year old Jesus Santiago goes to Druid Hills. This kid could have some flat-out nasty stuff one day.

This is what I'm worried about. OOTP still seems to have these 5 K/9 1:1 K:BB guys that consistenetly do well. Can we get an update on him even if he doesn't make your normal pitchers' lists?

[MizzouRah]

I do like a lot of what I see though.

I'm pretty happy with the modifiers I've applied, and the current version (beta of 6.5a). I'm going to go ahead and sim forward to 2000 so I can get started managing a team myself! :)

I can't wait until you post the modifiers (although I'm guessing they might not help until 6.5a is widely available?)

I can't wait until you post the modifiers (although I'm guessing they might not help until 6.5a is widely available?)6.5a isn't going to have any development tweaks that I know of. I'm not posting them at this point because I'm not 100% certain that I can't get them any better. I'm continuing to run tests on modiifers on a laptop while the desktop runs this career up to 2000.

The team I decide to control is the worst one, in terms of market size, in the GBA...

I'm not particularly concerned about the bullpen yet, as I'm building a team. I'll get to the pen in a few years. I'm having some trouble cutting and pasting the starters in, so I'll just mention the ones worth mentioning..

SP Willard Gould, age 23, 5-star prospect--Gould was picked 1(8) in '97, and spent the last two seasons down in AA and AAA. He was 12-6 with a 2.82 ERA in AAA last year. His current ratings are 38 stuff, 55 control, 56 movement. He will probably begin the year in the GBA rotation due to our weak starting pitching.

SP Rafael Machado, age 32, 4-star veteran--He was acquired via trade last year. He's a very solid pitcher, but I don't like his $16M salary--more than 25% of my salary total. I'll try to trade him for prospects.

Unfortunately, that's all that is worth mentioning. There's a 2-star 30-year-old, and everyone else has 1 star. :( We've definitely got our work cut out for us.

<center>2000 FREE AGENCY PERIOD REPORT</center>

TRADES
I get rid of SP Rafael Machado's big contract, dealing him to Brookstone for 23-year-old 3.5-star man SP Mon'Ichirou Rikyu, and 20-year-old 1.5-star man 2B Marcelo Fleita. Rikyu had worked his way into the Cougars' rotation by the end of last season, getting 12 starts, and he'll start off this season in our rotation. Fleita is a good-field/no-hit prospect right now. Here's hoping for a nice talent bump to his hitting.

FINANCIAL/FRONT OFFICE SITUATION
Fan Interest: 47 Team Market: Almost Non-existent

Fan Loyalty: Average

Cash on Hand: $20,000,000

Total Payroll: $38,528,743
Last Year Income: $61,181,300
Available Money: $35,652,557



With so much youth in the lineup, I don't want to dip into my cash reserve just yet. I'll limit myself to around $15M in spending on FA's this year.

DESIRES
You name it; Druid Hills needs it. :p Just kidding, but only by a little. We could stand to find solutions at each of the following positions: 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, SP. 2B and SP are the highest priorities. At the other positions, I have at least a player or two available who won't embarrass us.



For this season only, I moved around the draft date to have some young FA studs in the pool. I figured it would be nice to have a little extra talent infusion at the beginning of the human run. This is for this year only. Henceforth, the draft will be left on June 1st.



SIGNINGS

SP Frank Warrick--This 28-year-old was 15-8 with a 3.37 ERA for Walton last year. His 5-year deal for $7.5M per year seems like a steal to me for the 3.5-star lefty. Warrick's signing increases our Fan Interest to 49.

2B Dalcio "Thunder" Meras--This 18-year-old was one of the best prospects created and put into free agency. He's got 78 range, and should be able to hit and hit with power. If he pans out, he's definitely the future at 2B. He'll start the season in single-A. He gets a five-year deal worth $1.2M per year. Having not check out well how doing this works, I hope I don't have to rush him. Because he has a big-league contract, the clock starts ticking on the 40-man roster on him right now.

SP Dudley Anderson--19-year-old. Same story as Meras. Going to have to make room on the 40-man for him now, and in MLB soon. The good news is that he's decently developed already. His ratings are 32/35/50 right now, and he'll start off in AA.

SP Travis Halloran--18-year-old 3-star guy. He gets a minor-league deal. He'll start off at AA Fernbank.

POST-FREE AGENCY THOUGHTS
I got some young help, and lowered the payroll. I can't complain.

[Ben E Lou]

I pick up a starting pitcher in the Rule 5 Draft. SP Wayne Manus is rated 60 in control, 78 in movement, but only 23 in stuff. He could be useful with a good defense behind him, and since I've got room on the big club's rotation, why not?

[Ben E Lou]

Great, just great. SP Mario Neyra broke his wrist in spring training, and is going to miss this season. I was considering letting SP Willard Gould start the year in AAA, but no longer. He'll be in the rotation now.

OTHER IMPORTANT LEAGUE NEWS

North Springs pitcher Timothy Chestnut had another big-time performance this month, striking out 15 against Chamblee.

[Ben E Lou]

Oops. I accidentally hit the switch on the power strip while I was typing up my ammy draft report, and lost everything. Short version is this: with the 1(2) pick, I grabbed 3B Adan Mann, a 21-year-old who looks like he'll be a stud. All of the later picks are iffy at best. Here are the Top 10 Organizations after the draft:

1. Wheeler
2. Shaw
3. Lassiter
4. Druid Hills
5. Marist
6. Tucker
7. Stephenson
8. Lakeside
9. Dunwoody
10. Columbus

Yeah, we're #4, but two other top 10 teams are in the Northlake Division, and Pius is #11.

COMMENTS/LINEUP OR ROTATION CHANGES:
If we had any pitching at all, we'd be running away with this thing. We're dead last in ERA (4.84) and opponents' average (.276), and we're next-to-last in homers allowed. The bats have sustained us.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT:

Jason Peaslee has learned to better avoid strikeouts!
Jason Peaslee increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
Jason Peaslee has improved his plate disclipine!Peasley is a right fielder with great range, a good arm, but not much of a bat. This set of increases only moves his talent to 32/27/53, so he's still got some improving to do before he's a big-league prospect.Mario Neyra has lost some movement on his pitches...He's out for the season, and this may doom his career.John Allsup has learned to better avoid strikeouts!
John Allsup increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
John Allsup has improved his plate disclipine!Allsup is a 2B, drafted in the 8^th round this
June. He's got solid fielding ratings already, and these increases put him to 38/27/43 offensively. Still needs to improve, but he's going in the right direction.Luis Rodriguez seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Luis Rodriguez's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!
Luis Rodriguez is hitting his spots better, his command improved!This is a very nice talent jump for our 27-year-old closer. He's up to 74/92/83 in talent—star-quality numbers if he can get his ratings up that high.


AAA NOTES:
23-year-old 2-star prospect Dominic Lopez is hitting .303 with a .876 OPS. He may get a look in September.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT:

Adan Mann has lost some power...

Adan Mann seems to have lost some bat speed, resulting in less contact...Ouch. This one hurts. Maybe I should have called him up to AAA. He's still a 3.5-star guy, but no longer a superstar-in-the-making.Travis Halloran seems to have improved his pure stuff!

Travis Halloran's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!

Travis Halloran is hitting his spots better, his command improved!Nice! Halloran is an 18-year who was signed to a minor league contract during free agency this year. He's now a 5-star prospect as a starting pitcher.


AAA NOTES:
I call up Dominic Lopez and Robert Chang, outfielders, for September. Chang is a great defensive guy at all three positions, and Lopez had a solid year at the plate and has solid ratings.


AA NOTES:
SP Dudley Anderson—9-5, 4.31, 4.5 stars

SP Travis Halloran—7-12, 4.33, 5 stars

3B Adan Mann had a .883 OPS in AA, and gets called up to AA despite the recent talent drop.



A NOTES:

2B Dalcio “Thunder” Meras--..808 OPS, 5 stars



TRADES
None.

2001 POSITION REPORTS




CATCHER

Amos Olivares is an MVP candidate. He'll be FA-eligible after this season. I plan to lock him up to a long-term deal. Avelino Vera hit .303 backing him up last year. We have no decent prospects in the minors.

FIRST BASE

Robert Linquist is in the final year of his contract. He drove in 94 runs last season, but probably won't be re-signed. I may try to trade him before the season or in July. Travis Wilcox, at 37, may be getting too old to be a trusted backup. I have no decent prospects at this position—and we need one.




SECOND BASE

Douglas Ladner performed better than I expected him to in his first season playing every day. I knew he'd give me good defense, but I didn't expect him to et on base enough to lead the league in steals like he did. I've got a solid-looking prospect in single-A in Dalcio “Thunder” Meras, so I'll stick with Ladner for at least another season.




THIRD BASE

Adan “Clutch” Mann is rated 46/39/39, and hasn't played much above AA. I'd like to give him at least another half-season in the farm. My starter last season became a FA, and I don't really have another starting-quality player.




SHORTSTOP

I couldn't be more pleased at what I got from little-known first-time starter Adam Drumm last season. He batted .305, scored 94 runs, and played Gold Glove defense at shortstop. The switch-hitter will remain the starter. No prospects here.




LEFT FIELD

Daniel Primmer looks like he'll never hit for average, but he's driven in 254 runs over the past three seasons. He's signed through the end of next season. By then, if not sooner, David Gilley should be ready to take over in left.




CENTER FIELD

Urban Romero plays good defense out there, but is a liability at the plate. However, this is another position where I don't have a decent prospect.




RIGHT FIELD

Leland “Captain” Repass is a 5-star prospect who batted .316 with 16 homers in his first full season. This 24-year-old should only get better with time. The position should be his for years to come.




STARTING PITCHING

Current—Willard Gould, Frank Warrick, Bill Gerlach and Mon'Ichirou Rikyou, in some order, will be the front four. Several guys have a shot at being #5. Only Gerlach (32) is over 30.




Future—We have two strong prospects, 5-star man Travis Halloran, and 4-star prospect Dudley Anderson. Both spent all of last season in AA.




Unless we have a major injury or two, I don't expect to go after any new starting pitching any time in the near future, unless it is to grab an ace to shore up a title run.




RELIEF PITCHING

27-year-old Luis Rodriguez looks like he could be an effective closer for years to come. Behind him, though, I've only got one solid middle reliever—Charles Grieco, and one half-decent prospect—3-star 20-year-old Ezra Luna. I'm going to need to improve the bullpen before we can get serious about winning.

2001 FREE AGENCY REPORT



TRADES
None.

FINANCIAL/FRONT OFFICE SITUATION
Fan Interest: 55 (+8 from last year)

Team Market: Almost Nonexistent

Fan Loyalty: Fair

Cash on Hand: $20,000,000

Total Payroll: $47.8M
Last Year Income: $55.1M
Available Money: $29.2M



DESIRES
I could stand to find starters at 3B and CF, and also some relief pitching.



SIGNINGS

CF Pedro Pacheco (57/34/85)--This 30-year-old is all about speed and defense. He stole 67 bases last year for Lassiter, and has 499 steals in his career. He's also got 80 range, a 73 arm, and a career .346 OBP. He and Ladner gives us some SERIOUS speed at the top of the order now. He gets a 3-year deal worth $7.25M per year. His signing increases our fan interest to 57.

MR Antonio Lira (83/65/62)--This 29-year-old righty should help shore up the 'pen. He gets a 3-year deal worth $3.5M per year.

MR Alvaro Samons (37/60/49)--He's young (21) and gets a 3-year deal for $500K per year. This righty may start off this year in AAA.'

MR Andrew Strong (40/44/63)--24-year-old lefty gets a relatively cheap deal. Might be in AAA.

3B Thomas Sheahan (49/44/40)--34-year-old former Gold Glover who still plays great defense. He hasn't been a full-time starter since '98. I just want him to hold down 3B until Adan Mann is ready. After that, he should make a fine backup. He gets a 2-year deal for $350K per year.




BIG-DOLLAR SIGNINGS AROUND THE GBA

SP Miyajirou Tomomi (96/86/69) signs a $21.3M per year deal with Brookstone. He has a lifetime 2.61 ERA, and was 13-9 with a 2.20 for Lassiter last year.

CL Max Fuertes (60/78/94) signs a $14.9M per year deal with Tucker. Fuertes is a Smoltz-esque player. He has 151 career wins, nearly all as a starter, but took over as Dunwoody's closer midway through last season

SP Lino Naranjo (106/66/68), the defector from Cuba, signs for $23.1M per year with South Cobb.

LF Joey “Mad Bomber” Adkins (68/103/62) signs with Tucker for $14.4M per year. The Mad Bomber has hit 69 homers and driven in 126 runs over the last two seasons in North Springs.

POST-FREE AGENCY THOUGHTS
Pachecho looks like a very nice pickup, and Sheahan may be just what the doctor ordered—cheap and serviceable—to bridge the gap at 3B for Mann. Lira should help our bullpen now, and the other two could be useful soon. With Tucker signing two big-time players, I'm not sure we'll be able to contend in the division again this season.

[QUOTE=SkyDog] CAREER BATTING LEADERS

[QUOTE]

For anyone that is on the Trout watch ;) , he is now up to 465 homeruns in his career. A former Rookie of the Year winner and six time All-Star selection, it's sad to see that the active homerun leader is on his last legs. Maybe "Crazylegs" Trout still has one good 40+ season in him to keep his remaining (3/6 popularity :o ) fans happy.

Edited: To remove quoted Career Batting Leaders table.

2001 AMATEUR DRAFT REPORT



DRAFT POSITION: 12

TOP THREE DRAFTEES
NOTE: I’m listing talent ratings, not actual, for draftees.
CF Dirk Otterson, Jr.--(55/58/45)--Otterson can play all three outfield positions with good range. This 22-year-old hit .327 and slugged .563 against Tough competition in college.

SS Robert Swisher--(58/17/42)--Swisher can play 3B/SS/LF/RF, but has 66 range at SS, the best of those positions.

1B Joseph Permenter--(36/20/60)--Good defender who could be something if his offense improves.

[QUOTE=SkyDog] CAREER BATTING LEADERS

QUOTE]

For anyone that is on the Trout watch ;) , he is now up to 465 homeruns in his career. A former Rookie of the Year winner and six time All-Star selection, it's sad to see that the active homerun leader is on his last legs. Maybe "Crazylegs" Trout still has one good 40+ season in him to keep his remaining (3/6 popularity :o ) fans happy.Update:

As of June 1st, Crazylegs Trout is still in the everyday lineup for Dunwoody, rated 48/92/50. However, he's batting only .218, but with 12 homers and 42 RBI. He's still productive, and on pace to drive in over 120 runs this year.

THIS MONTH’S RECORD: 10-17
OVERALL RECORD AT MONTH-END: 36-45
CURRENT STANDING: Last. 12 ½ games behind Lakeside

MAJOR INJURIES:
Adan Mann plays like he belongs in the bigs for the first 22 days of the month, but then he breaks his cheekbone on the 23^rd. Luckily, it isn't long before Drumm's return. However, when Mann comes back (around the beginning of August), I have a feeling that 3B Thomas Sheahan is going to be out of an everyday job.

TEAM NEWS OF NOTE THIS MONTH
1B Linquiet earned player of the week honors once this month.

[Ben E Lou]

2002 POSITION REPORTS




CATCHER

Amos Olivares is signed through 2005 now, and Avelino Valera is a solid backup. hit .303 backing him up last year. We have no catching prospects whatsoever.




FIRST BASE

I couldn't afford to re-sign Robert Linquist, and we didn't have a prospect, so now we're without anyone who I'd put out there every day. We must find someone to play first this year. I may even trade some of that young starting pitching...




SECOND BASE

Another position where we could be in big trouble, due to the so-far non-development of prospect Dalcio “Thunder” Meras. I probably need to sign or trade for someone to start here.




THIRD BASE

Whew! Help at second base, due to a surprise development. Last year's 2^nd-round pick, Robert Swisher, batted .333 in AAA last year, and has a 54 in contact hitting, along with pretty solid defensive ratings. Our financial situation is tight, so I'll probably start Swisher at 3^rd, and go with Adan Mann at second.




SHORTSTOP

Adam Drumm dropped from .305 in 2000 to .228 in 2001, but he's not out there for his bat. He still gives us solid defense at a critical position




LEFT FIELD

Daniel Primmer (vs. RHP) and David Gilley (vs. LHP) give us a nice platoon out in left. 3.5-star prospect Dirk Otterson, Jr. can play all three OF positions, but LF is his best defensively.




CENTER FIELD

Pedro Pachecho could stand to improve from last years' .226 average and .331 OBP, but he looks like he has the skill to do it. If he can get on base more, 100SB's is a possibility.




RIGHT FIELD

Leland dropped off to .239 last year after hitting .316 in 2000. He's only 25, so I expect that he'll bounce back just fine.




STARTING PITCHING

Current—Dudley Anderson put up a 3.97 ERA in 34 IP's in his September call-up, and in so doing has forced his way into the rotation this year. He'll be 22 on April 6^th. He joins Gould, Warrick, Rikyu and Gerlach in an improving rotation. We still have another 5-star SP prospect in Travis Halloran. I may look at trading him for a 1B.




RELIEF PITCHING

Luis Rodriguez is now a 3.5-star closer, rated 73/84/78. I'm hoping for 35-40 saves out of him this year. We've got some pretty solid guys before we get to him, too, in Charles Grieco, Jermaine Crumb, Ezra Luna, Antonio Lira. Young left Andrew Strong looks like he'll earn a spot on the big club this year. If we can sign one more solid lefty, the 'pen will be very solid.

[Chappy]

Are you using custom settings, and if so what are they?

[Ben E Lou]

I should be back in the T-U-C early next week, and I expect the GBA to resume play (with new settings) sometime within a week or so of my return.

[Ben E Lou]

NOTE: Settings changed on 1/31/2002 to use THESE (http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/showthread.php?t=103871). There could be some stats fluctuations over the next few seasons as the league adjusts. Based on comparing 5-year totals in the GBA to 5-year totals in my test league, here's what we should expect to see happen eventually:


an increase in overall league batting average (.2588-->.2652)
a slight increase in runs scored (81.08 per 600AB-->81.53)
Doubles and triples should stay virtually the same.
A drop in homers (16.02-->15.14)
A drop in strikeouts (118.06-->111.67) and walks (58.81-->56.96)
a small increase in overall OPS (.7243-->.7299)


2002 FREE AGENCY REPORT



TRADES
None.

FINANCIAL/FRONT OFFICE SITUATION
Fan Interest: 42 (-13 from last year)
Team Market: Almost Nonexistent
Fan Loyalty: Fair
Cash on Hand: $12.6M
Total Payroll: $60.4M
Last Year Income: $55.0M
Available Money: $7.2M

DESIRES
I don't want to increase the payroll much at this point. I'll just try to sign a serviceable first baseman.

SIGNINGS
I sign 35-year-old 1B Chris Chai to a 2-year deal worth $5.6M per year. He put up a .274-20-92 season last year, and is a three-time All-Star, with 59/60/57 ratings currently. He's a switch-hitter, and a very good defensive first baseman as well. I'm hoping he can hold down the fort there for a couple of years.

BIG-DOLLAR SIGNINGS AROUND THE GBA
Pius inks C Kennith "Crusher" Trevino for $18.4M per year for five years. This 30-year-old has 77 HR and 282 RBI over the past three seasons, and has a lifetime .296 batting average.

McEachern gets CF Albert "Dandy" Schneider for $21.6M per year. The 32-year-old is an 8-time All Star, and put up .338-30-115 numbers last season.

POST-FREE AGENCY THOUGHTS
Couldn't afford to do much this year. Hopefully the youngsters will improve, bring the fans in, and allow me to bring in a top-tier FA in the next 2-3 years.

The rotation looks ready to come around, as do young hitters like Mann and Repass. However, the lineup is very anemic at the bottom. If the top guys falter, scoring runs could be a real problem.

COMMENTS/LINEUP OR ROTATION CHANGES:
We're in the top half of the league in most pitching categories, but near the bottom in runs scored. No surprise there.

Disappointing to see SS Drumm drop. On the positive side, former 5th-round pick Criddle is now a 3-star prospect.



AAA NOTES:

AA NOTES:
SP Travis Halloran (5stars, 38/71/54) put up a 3.25 ERA and looks ready for AAA. I call him up.

CF Dirk Otterson, Jr. (40/24/28), also gets called up.



A NOTES:

2B Dalcio "thunder" Meras is still at 27/22/74, and looking like he's not going to progress. :(



TRADES
None.

[Ben E Lou]

OK. Time to speed things up a bit. No more month-to-month reports. I'm thinking I'll report on the draft, a midseason check-in, any deadline trades I make, and at the end of the year.

2002 AMATEUR DRAFT REPORT



DRAFT POSITION: 10

TOP THREE DRAFTEES
NOTE: I’m listing talent ratings, not actual, for draftees.
CF Willie Swinford--(61/53/51)--Can play all three OF positions with great range, and is a good baserunner. Switch-hitter.

2B Jack James--(38/32/30--Outstanding fielder who slugged .838 versus very tough high school competition.

RP Hilario Ortiz--(57/43/49)--A left-handed relief pitcher, something I'm in desperate need of.

We continued to improve, and several youngsters made progress. However, we failed to draw 2 million fans for the second consecutive year. We're going to need to start putting some butts in the seats if we ever want to sign any quality FA's.
