What type of nicknames are you giving folks up there in Boston Eddie? Cupcakes? Might as well call your team leader "Sweetie pie" or something!

Yes, Robinson Rivera is Valdosta's single season record setter. Anyone that's been around a long time probably would find this funny (that he stole 108 bases for me in 2010). Since I seriously had some seasons where my entire team stole less than 3 bases combined.

Sunday, December 21st, 2087 Colorado Rancheros: Signed free agent 3B J. Gonzáles to a 1-year contract worth a total of $1,800,000. Wednesday, December 17th, 2087 Toronto Marlboros: Signed free agent 3B J. Gonzáles to a 1-year contract worth a total of $1,827,500. What the... Is this really just a factor of not enough names being generated? |

Yup, that was pretty funny. And that was during a good stretch for Hammersmith, too, where I was in the playoffs a lot. So you kept running into those guys.

We are pleased with our team this year but we still feel we are a year or two away especially with Rawlings and Franco in the minors. They'll be in the rotation in a year or two which will round out with Cull, Henry, Rawlings, Franco and Tizzard

Ended up paying twice this year for Barraclough. I cut him in an effort to free up money to make a run for SP Border. I just barely lost out on Border, and then had to scramble this sim and put out a big offer on Barraclough again to regain his services. Not fun at all.

FYI, Border ain't worth anywhere near what he got. But I wish Chico luck with him.

On the bus practically all day yesterday with interviews and totally exhausted last night. Drat this unforgivingly fastpaced league. *sob* |

Maybe so, but I was tired of just missing every year on a top arm. I am still chafed about the Jim Carr negotiations.

I understand. That keeps happening to me as well in FOOLX (which is why I have been happy just flat developing pitching here in FOOL). Border's a solid pitcher. Not like you're not getting a good arm there. The frustration with him is that he has GREAT talent--but never seems to pitch that way. Typically, he had his best year this past season in his contract year. Even so, he was always a bit underwhelming, and when he asked for a ton of money after his contract year performance, it made my decision easy.
