Winning the Central Division: an OOTP5-6 Dynasty

With the release of CBL Cardinals EXCELLENT roster file, I fired up ootp5 and decided to see what I could do with the Cardinals in 2004 and beyond. Chicago and Houston are preseason favorites and most sportswriters have the Cardinals finishing third.

This is the first time in a long time I actually feel "challenged" starting with the Cardinals. It'll be quite fun to see how I compete in the Central Division.

I'm playing manage mode, normal difficulty setting. I don't have any house rules and I have trading set to hard and favor prospects. Maximum team cash is set to $50,000,000, no salary cap, and reduced ratings. I also have coaches and scouts set to "off" (players still improve, but every team is on an "even" keel).

In no way do I plan on a dynasty like Chief Rum or Skydog, I'm managing every game, so it will go slow and unless someone wants to see something specific, this dynasty will be pretty basic. (Sorry, I don't know how people like Marmel, SD, CR, AE, JonInMiddleGA, and many others create so immersive dynasties) :)

Note: If I win the Central, I'm not sure if I'll end it there or keep going. I thought about keeping it a 'replay' only one year career, but I wanted to keep my options open just in case. Trading was a hard option to keep on, for the simple fact I'm trying to reproduce this year, but it's probably more accurate this way. In baseball, it's impossible to know who will go where during the season. At least I started out with accurate rosters. ;)

I've played two games, so excuse me for the stats in my roster.

Home Opener: Game 1

We start the season with a four game home stand against the Milwaukee Brewers. Matt Morris will get the start against Ben Sheets. We need to come out and win against a team like the Brewers, who also happen to have the lowest payroll in baseball.

Game Notes:
Bill Hall hit the longest homer of his career, it went 382 feet. Scott Rolen hit the longest homer of his career, it went 436 feet.

Nice win. Morris showed the fans he's ready for 2004 and Pujols went 3-3 with 2 doubles. I expect more of the same with Woody Williams on the mound.

Two shutouts in a row, Woo-Hoo! Ok, it's only the Brewers, but it's nice to see our starting pitchers cranking it up at home. Suppan had to leave the game with a blister on his finger, but he shouldn't miss a start. Pujols was 2-4 with 4 rbis.

Game Notes:
Wes Helms hit the longest homer of his career, it went 397 feet. Brady Clark hit the longest homer of his career, it went 429 feet.

The bats were silent and SP Luis Martinez pitched a jem as he allowed only 4 hits in 8 innings of work. I would have liked that win, but I'll take a 3-1 start to the season. Time to pack our bags and head to Arizona to take on the undefeated (3-0) Diamondbacks.

Next up, a three game series in Arizona.

Game Notes:
Albert Pujols hit the longest homer of his career, it went 411 feet.

My first concern, the bottom of my rotation is weak and although I'll give Marquis and Carpenter more starts, it might be a good idea to see what I have at AAA in terms of SP or maybe a FA.

It will be nice to see Matty Mo back at the helm vs Arizona's 5th starter.

Mike Bordick was promoted from AAA Memphis to the active roster.

I saw Bordick out there and decided for $512,000 I could use a better utility player than Brent Butler. He might even take Bo Hart's spot against lefties. Of course there could be a reason he was a FA.

Game Notes:
Reggie Sanders hit the longest homer of his career, it went 455 feet.

Jason looked good, but no one could hit the lefty, Carlos Hernandez. He only allowed 1 run in 7.2 innings of work, striking out 6. The next game is a statement game for what could become an interesting battle to the top. We get to face another lefty, this time former NY Yankee - Andy Pettitte.

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Chris Carpenter
Game Notes:
Andy Pettitte was injured while pitching.

Houston used all of its bullpen up as Andy Pettitte went down in the 2nd inning with a strained back. The Cardinals win in 10 innings off of a position player who had to pitch due to the lack of rested relievers. (I don't think I have ever seen this in an ootp game) Anyhow, I'm looking foward to the day off.

Wow, Williams gets smoked by Colorado's hitters and I'm a bit shocked at his performance. I can't figure out this team yet, they couldn't hit an average pitcher in Jennings?

Charles Johnson was ejected in the 5th for arguing a strike three call. Vinny Castilla hit the longest homer of his career, it went 363 feet. Colorado's manager was ejected in the 8th inning! **Larry Walker gets his 2,000th hit**

Once again, we can't get the timely hits, and I took a gamble or two and lost. Maybe the day off will do us some good, I know Houston's licking their chops waiting for us to arrive.

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Edgar Renteria

We finally came back in a game and I really think our defense is carrying us thus far. Izzy gets another save and we win a big game in Houston. We get our first look at Roger Clemens next game. He's off to a rough start at 0-2 with a 6.16 era.

** St. Louis Transactions **

Thursday 4/22/2004 :

So Taguchi was sent down from the active roster to AAA Memphis.

Ray Lankford was promoted from AAA Memphis to the active roster.
Steve Cox has been released.
Chris Widger has been released.
Free agent Henry Blanco has been signed to a contract of $0 per year, for 0 years.
Free agent Brian Buchanan has been signed to a contract of $336,000 per year, for 1 years.
Henry Blanco was promoted from AAA Memphis to the active roster.
Brian Buchanan was promoted from AAA Memphis to the active roster.

Taguchi wasn't doing it for me where I needed him. I need more pop and hopefully Lankford will be the guy I'm looking for. He was tearing it up in AAA, hitting 0.358 with 5 homeruns and 10 runs batted in. At least he'll get a shot, what he does with it remains to be seen.

I get rid of C Chris Widger and add FA Henry Blanco who is an upgrade at defense. I also add 1B Brian Buchanan who has some pop and release 1B Steve Cox.

WOW! This game had everything, 22 total runs, 28 total hits, 8 total homeruns, and a bench clearing brawl between Cardinals Pitcher, Mike Lincoln and Astros Shortstop, Adam Everett! We sweep the Astros and gain another game on them in the standings. Now if the Reds would only start losing, we could gain first place.

Suppan was equally as good vs the Brewers, pitching 7 innings and allowing 0 runs on 4 hits. Suppan also picked up his first victory as a Cardinal against the Brewers.

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Scott Podsednik
Game Notes:
Scott Rolen hit the longest homer of his career, it went 437 feet. Wes Helms hit the longest homer of his career, it went 402 feet.

My bullpen blew a nice lead and Milwaukee's relief pitching held up. I hate a bullpen loss more than anything and this almost makes me bring up Jimmy Journell from the minors who is tearing it up. (13IP, 1.98ERA, 18K's, 0WALKS) - Quite impressive indeed. I'll wait, but if I was a bet'n man, Journell should have a bag packed and ready to go.

That's the way it's supposed to be, isn't it? ;)

The Cubs pitching is starting to come around, it's early. I have the Phillies next and then the Cubbies. Should be a good series.

Good stuff. I'm reading while doing my own in MVP. I really like that game I am having a hard time figuring out why people are hating so much on it. As for simulation it doesn't come close to OOTP but I like playing every once in a while.

Anyways, good stuff. I just lost Jason Marquis for the season so I need Carpenter to step it up big time for me (and in real life!).

Keep it up.

I used to be a big Lankford fan, so I hope he has something left in his tank. I really like the possibility of Robinson becoming a true leadoff hitter, whether or not that happens is up to him. The acqusition of Womack intrugues me, I know he's getting up there in age, but I'm hoping he gets back to his old form. Remember when he used to eat us up on the basepaths?

Should be an interesting season, I do know.. or I've heard, the Cardinals are still looking for an everyday LF - so who knows what Walt is up to?

WP - B. Wagner (2-1, 0.93)

PHILADELPHIA BATTING
Doubles: P. Burrell (6, 4th inning off Morris, 0 on, 0 out.)
Homeruns: B. Abreu (4, 11th inning off Lincoln, 1 on, 1 out.) M. Lieberthal (3, 11th inning off Eldred, 0 on, 0 out.)

FIELDING
Errors: S. Rolen (2)

Attendance: 33282 (49676) at Busch Stadium
Weather: Partly cloudy (65 degrees), wind blowing out to right at 8 mph
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Mike Lieberthal
Game Notes:
Mike Matheny hit the longest homer of his career, it went 355 feet. Mike Lieberthal hit the longest homer of his career, it went 379 feet. Marlon Byrd extends his hitting streak to a career high 13 games!

Ughh! Philadelphia manager Larry Bowa makes a questionable call, taking out Kevin Millwood in the 6th inning with only 73 pitches thrown and 1 earned run on 5 hits. Mike Matheny would tie the game at 2 with his first HR of the year off reliever Dave Coggin. Then, the bullpen collapsed, giving up 7 runs in the top of the 11th to seal the victory for the Phillies.

I'm really tempted to bring up Journell, but it's still too early for changes.

Next game: vs Philadelphia
Probable starters:
PHI (8-11) (RD: 3-7, 3 GB) R V. Padilla (1-0, 3.15)

The first meeting between the Cubs and the Cardinals! Friday, April 30th 2004, is Baseball Cap Day at the ballpark. Perfect timing as the arch rival Chicago Cubs come to town to face the Central Division leading St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cubs are not only on a 4 game losing streak and 5 games behind the Cardinals, but they lost ace SP Mark Prior on the 25th for 6 weeks with a broken hand. Prior was 2-1 with a 2.97 era. Jamey Wright will have to fill some mighty big shoes and team leader, Kerry Wood will have to lead the way if the Cubs want to stay close in the competitive Central Division.

Pitching Probable Matchups

Game 1 - R G. Maddux (2-2, 5.70) vs R J. Marquis (1-2, 4.68)
Game 2 - R M. Clement (0-3, 9.00) vs R C. Carpenter (0-1, 5.06)
Game 3 - R C. Zambrano (1-1 6.50) vs R M. Morris (4-0, 2.54)
Game 4 - R K. Wood (2-2, 4.55) vs R W. Williams (3-1, 3.09)

Injuries

Chicago:
Mark Prior was injured when he was hit by a line drive.
Diagnosis: Broken Hand.
He will be OK in about 6 weeks.

St. Louis:
Bo Hart was injured while throwing a ball.
Diagnosis: Pulled Elbow Ligament.
He is day-to-day, but full recovery will take 1-2 weeks.

If I continue into next year, I'm definitly thinking about rebuilding. I don't have much trade if I need someone down the stretch, which hurts. Hopefully I'll stay relativley injury free. I could see me moving a few veteran players next year. ;)
