BM 2014 - St. Louis Cardinals

I picked up BM 2014, loaded some rosters for the 2013 season from the forums and kicked off a St. Louis Cardinals career.

I'm on "Mogul" level for everything.

Depending on how much time I have to play, this will be a fast paced dynasty report. Baseball Mogul is extremely easy to sim month after month in little time.

It's kept my interest for a week, so I figured I'd do some sort of writeup on how I'm doing.. and for you Reds fans, on how crappy my start has been.

New for BM 2014 is "stat based" scouting, so ratings are based on stats instead of scouts.

2013 Season Roster

2B Matt Carpenter (86)
CF Carlos Beltran (86)
LF Matt Holliday (86)
RF Allen Craig (84)
C Yadier Molina (87)
1B Matt Adams (86/92)
3B David Freese (84)
SS Daniel Descalso (80)

Bench - OF Adron Chambers (80), SS Ryan Jackson (77/79), C Tony Cruz (77), IF Pete Kozma (76/78), OF Shane Robinson (75)


Pitching

SP Adam Wainwright (85)
SP Lance Lynn (82)
SP Shelby Miller (83/93)
SP Jake Westbrook (73)
SP Jaime Garcia (70)

CL Trevor Rosenthal (78/86)
SU Edward Mujuca (75)
SR Barret Browning (76)
SR Fernando Salas (77)
MR Sam Freeman (79)
MR Mitchell Boggs (71)
LR Joe Kelly (70/74)


We have an excellent lineup, but our pitching doesn't look all that great on paper.

We are way out of a Central title as our pitching has been a sore spot this season thus far.

Not the year I was expecting.. 26 games behind the Reds?

We lead the division in hitting, but are last in pitching. I didn't think our division had this kind of pitching.

Do we keep going now that Wainwright is back from the DL and Carpenter has made it back into the rotation after being out for so long? Our only shot would be a wildcard berth, but we are 13 games out of a spot right now.

I have 12 games to decide what to do before the trading deadline.

We could prepare for 2014 by shopping 3B David Freese and RF Carlos Beltran as 2B Kolten Wong and OF Oscar Taveras should be stepping in next season into those slots. On the pitching side, it might be time to shop Chris Carpenter to a playoff contender.

Decisions.. decisions..

Oakland trades LF Yoenis Cespedes to San Francisco for two minor league prospects, SP Edwin Escobar and SP Joan Gregorio.

The Giants lead the NL West by 7 games and the A's are 10.5 games out.

Trading deadline is here and we need to forget about 2013 and focus on 2014.

Cardinals trade 3B David Freese to the Chicago White Sox for CF Courtney Hawkins.

As much as I hate to say it.. The Reds are the best team in baseball right now, sitting at 80-40 on the season. I'll post the standings after August is over, but they are on a tear this season with great hitting and great pitching.



What a lineup.. and Jay Bruce is has been out with a hip fracture, he has 28 home runs and 72 runs batted in.



They have the lowest ERA in the division and only 2nd to the Washington Nationals who are at 3.45.
