Deuce this is a great idea. I had thought about doing something like this with Indianapolis or Altoona but decided to stick to my traditional franchise. Looking forward to this!

Re: It's Raining in Seattle (A Dual M's and Rainiers Franchise) MLB13 The Show

It's the last week of spring training, and Rainier fans are excited wondering what players will be reporting to Tacoma this year. With a loaded farm system, Tacoma expects once again to challenge for the PCL Crown as they did in 2010 making it all the way to the championship game before losing to the Columbus Clippers. However the biggest news in Tacoma is the fact that the Front Office in Seattle has announced that the Rainiers will have their own General Manager. Ryan "The Deuce" Scott will work hand in hand with M's GM Jack Zduriencik in trade discussions as well as other player personal decisions.

The first of those being the naming of a new team manager. Darren Brown is not returning for his 8th season and instead he will bring in a former player he grew up idolizing well watching baseball after school.

THE TACOMA RAINIERS NEW MANAGER

Ryne "Ryno" Sandberg played 16 years with the Chicago Cubs and was named to the Hall of Fame in 2005. Managing is not new to Ryno as he worked his way through the Cubs farm system managing from 07 to 2010 when he lead the Iowa Cubs to a 82-62 record and was named Manager of the Year. Many thought Sandberg was a shoe in to replace Lou Piniella as the Cubs MLB manager but the Front Office had other ideas, and Ryne left for the team that drafted him, (the Phillies). In 2011 Ryno managed the Phillies AAA Leigh Valley Pigs leading them to the playoffs in the International League once again being named Manager of the Year.

In 2012 Sandberg was promoted to 3B Coach and Infield Instructor for the Phillies, but now it's hello Tacoma where he will look to win his 3rd Manager of the Year award.

Thanks. I think it's going to be a lot of fun and as you will see, I have a great man leading the team. Hopefully with his help, he will make Franklin into a amazing 2B.

Re: It's Raining in Seattle (A Dual M's and Rainiers Franchise) MLB13 The Show

TACOMA RAINIERS 25 MAN ROSTER IS SET!!!

After watching the final week of Spring training and seeing the cuts, Rainiers manager Ryne Sandberg knew he would have plenty of Major League talent and a team that could challenge for a Pacific Coast AAA Crown, with stars on the mound and at the plate, however there was 2 names that wasn't on the list that Ryno still wanted. #1 Overall prospect Taijuan Walker was heading to AA Jackson where he will be the #1 in the rotation. Only 20 yrs old, the M's front office decided they didn't want to rush Walker quite yet. Also going to AA was SS Billy Miller. Miller shined over the past weeks of Spring Training, so much that some now view him as the teams #1 SS prospect, but with SS C. Triunfel scheduled to be back at Tacoma again this season, the front office wanted Miller getting fulltime AB's at his natural position.

But like we said the roster is not void of talent, as Tacoma will boost the M's #2,#3,#4,#6,#9 and #11 prospects. Here is a look at the team starting behind the plate with the #2 prospect 22 yr old Mike Zunino. (79 A)

Zunino was the M's #3 overall pick last season. After starting the year in Single A Everett, Zunino graduated to AA Jackson where he logged 57 AB's and now he is in AAA Tacoma. If he continues at this rate, most expect him in Seattle by the All-Star Break.

Backing up Zunino will be 24 yr Jesus Sucre (65 D).

Starting at 1B will be 25 yr old R/R Rich Poythress (64 D). Poythress is probably best known for hi 2010 season in which he hit 31 HR's at High Desert. Poythress was the M's 2nd Round pick in 09.

At 2B is the #4 prospect. 22 yr old Nick Franklin (77 B). Franklin is viewed as the M's top middle infield prospect and could find himself playing either SS or 2B at the next level, it just depends who needs replaced first in B. Ryan or D. Ackley. He was the M's 1st round pick #27 Overall in 2009.

At SS is 23 yr old Carlos Triunfel (66 A). Triunfel stock is on the decline as he was once considered a Top-50 prospect in 2009. Now 4 years later Triunfel is looking to make a statement in Tacoma and show he was the high caliber player scouts thought he was.

At 3B will be 24 yr old Alex Liddi (60 B) Liddi is best known for his play in the World Baseball Classic playing for his home country of Italy, but don't forget this kid hit .259 with 30 HR's 104 RBI's and scored 121 runs in 2011 for the Rainiers. If Ryno can get those type of # again from Liddi he will be very happy.

Playing DH and a Super Utility Role will be 24 yr old Stefen Romero (76 B). Romero rated #9 played primarily 3B well at Oregon State, but he will see time at 3B,2B and 1B this year well in Tacoma and could even play some in LF/RF. He will also be the primary DH. In 2012, Romero was the Mariners Minor League Player of the Year after he hit .352/.391/.599 with 23 home runs and 101 runs batted in with the Jackson Generals.

Also filling out a Utility role will be 26 yr old Eric Farris (64 C). Farris joined the M's in 2012 as a Rule 5 draft pick from the Brewers. He will be the primary backup at 2B and SS

In the Outfield the Rainers will have 26 yr old C. Perguero (56 D) a power hitting lefty, 35 yr old journeyman Endy Chavez (77 C) and 24 yr old Denny Almonte (67 C) in CF and RF E. Thames (74 B).

Sandberg-"To have 2 guys with the type of talent that Chavez and Thames have starting for you, is a blessing. I love Endy's leadership and Thames has the abilities to be called up very soon. Both will be big bats for us this year well we have them. Almonte is one of those guy's who help you everywhere. He has a nice blend of power and speed and being a switch hitter will give us some options as the starters are all lefty's."

Another big bat in the OF as well as some 3B, is the #11 Overall prospect 24 yr old Vinnie Catricala (66 C). Catricala played for Tacoma last year batting .229 with 10 HR and 60 RBI's. In 2011 he split time between High Desert and AA Jackson batting .359 with 25 HR's 106 RBI's and 17 SB's. He will play some 3B and DH but will if he can continue to work on his OF defense he could take LF from Peguero.

Well the bats look great and have some talent it's the starting 5 that has Ryno most excited about this season, as the #3 and #6 prospects as well as 2 former big leaguers form a dangerous 1-4 rotation.

#1 will be 22 yr old E. Ramirez (86 B) who many had as the #3 or #4 in the M's rotation,but after dealing with some injury issues this spring ER will start in Tacoma. Nobody expect the RHP to stay for very long. Filling the #2 and #3 spots are top prospects and 2 of the M's "Big 3" LHP Danny Hultzen(80 A) and LHP James Paxton (76 B). Just 23 and 24 yrs old these 2 have bright futures with the M's and have the potential to be #2 or #3 starters for any teams rotation. Both dealt with command issues last year, but once they get that under control, they will be on the fast track to Seattle. Joining them in the #4 spot is former Detroit Tiger Jeremy Bonderman (74 D) Bonderman now 30 yrs old is a Pacific Northwest native who hopes by signing a minor league deal can pitch his way back into "The Show"

Ryno-"I am excited to have Bonderman on our staff. He pitched 4 games in the 2006 playoffs against the Yankees. He won 14 games that year. He was a 07 Allstar, before having a horrible 2nd half, but this guy's knows how to pitch and can be a great mentor to the young guys"

Filling out the rotation will be 26 yr old RHP Andrew Carraway (71 C) He made 20 starts last year in Tacoma going 5-7 with a 4.66 ERA.

In the Bullpen it will be 24 yr old RHP Chance Ruffin (68 D) a converted closer from the Tigers in the Fister trade, 24 yr old RHP Y. Medina (71 C), 33 yr old RHP Josh Kinney (76 C), 26 yr old LHP Bobby Lafromboise (72 C), 23 yr old RHP M. Brazis (69 C), 24 yr old LHP Roenis Ellis (69 C) and 23 yr old Closer Carson Smith (77 B)

Sandberg "The Bullpen probably is our biggest ? mark, only becacuse most of them havn't spent much time in AAA. Smith has a lot of talent and could be a great closer but if he falters I have no problem going to Ruffin who was a 1st round pick by the Tigers in 2010. Kinnney gives us a experience arm in the pen and like Bonderman, will be a valuable teacher."

So there it is folks your 25 man roster for the start of the 2013 season in Tacoma. Now let the fun begin.

Thanks.. It's always nice to know you got loyal followers. I am hoping that the dual posting of using Tacoma well also giving MLB updates will flow nicely. The nice thing is, if I get bored with the Rainiers I can always jump to the M's as well. Having 30 team control will also be a big help.. When I first started the other I didnt' realize how bad the CPU trade logic was. It was just to crazy to see guy's like Mauer being dealt to the Redsox for a SS prospect, or guy's like T. Hudson and his 10 wins going from 1st place Atlanta with 2 SP A prospects to Pittsburgh for LHP F. Liriano who was 5-7 with a 5.00 something ERA. Not to mention all the crappy deals the Royals were making.

Re: It's Raining in Seattle (A Dual M's and Rainiers Franchise) MLB13 The Show

Rainiers split series opener with Fresno

It only took 4 games into the 2013 season before we saw a roster change. Starting CF E. Chavez was called up to Seattle after 1B/DH K. Morales was put on the 15-Day DL with a MCL sprain. The Rainiers called up former New York Yankees prospect 22 yr old Abraham Almonte (67 D) no relation to Denny.

Also noted. LHP Lucas Luetge was put on the 60 Day DL with a broken forearm. SP Hector Noesi was called up from AA Jackson to take his spot on the M's roster.

Now to a recap of the 4 game series with the Grizzlies.

Game 1 (Win 5-2)
Chavez was 3/4 with a HR (part of the reason for his callup) S. Romero went 2/3 including a 2-run double. Franklin also had a RBI double.

E. Ramirez pitched 8 2/3 giving up just 6 hits and 2 runs well striking out 3 for the win. (1-0). Smith got the final out with 2 runners on base with a strikeout to get the save (1).

Game 2 (Loss 0-1)
D. Hultzen pitched well going 6 1/3 giving up just 3 hits and 1 run well striking out 4 but got zero run support as the bat's managed just 3 hits.

J. Kinney pitched the final 1 2/3 giving up 2 hits, striking out 2.

At the plate it was Chavez, Zunino and Thames who managed hits.

Game 3 (Loss 0-2)
J. Paxton knows how his fellow Big 3 teammate feels, as the lefty went 7 innings giving up 5 hits and 2 runs striking out 7, but took the loss (0-1).

The Grizzlies J. Fitzgerald went 6 innings giving up 8 hits but worked out of 2 bases loaded situations with key strikeouts to keep the Rainiers off the scoreboard. Fitzgerald finished with 8 K's, well the bullpen combined for 7 more.

Sandberg-"Striking out 15 times is unacceptable!!!, either they are going to learn at hitting balls, or being selective or our roster will see more then 1 change this week"

E. Thames went 2/3 and was the only player not to strikeout and the only player to take a 6 pitch walk. A. Liddi was the only other player to manage 2 hits going 2/4.

LaFromboise struckout his first batter he faced in the 8t before giving up back to back hits. Y. Medina came in and got a strikeout and ground ball out to finish the 8th.

Game 4 (Win 3-2)*14 Innings)

Everyone loves free baseball, but the crowd was pretty empty when the Rainiers finally got the winning run in the 14th, after watching 0-0 baseball for 11 innings.

Starter J. Bonderman went 5 1/3 giving up 5 hits and 2 runs well striking out 5, then the bullpen dominated giving up 7 hits in 8 2/3 scoreless.

J. Kinney 2 2/3 2 hits 2 K's
Y. Medina 3 2/3 4 hits 2 K's
M. Brazis 1 / 1 hit 2 K's (got the W 1-0)
C. Smith scoreless 14th 1 K (Save #2)

At the plate it was S. Romero coming up huge going 3/7 with the game winning RBI. A. Liddi goes 1/4 and leads the team in hitting at .375. M. Zunino goes 2/7 but strikesout 4 times in the cleanup spot.

Re: It's Raining in Seattle (A Dual M's and Rainiers Franchise) MLB13 The Show

RAINIERS TAKE 3/4 FROM SACREMENTO

Starting the year 5-3 playing 8 straight on the road, is something new manager Ryne Sandberg is willing to live with, but that doesn't mean that all is well in Tacoma. As several key players are struggling earlier and the injury bug hit's again.

Game 1 Recap (Win 14-5)

The Bats come alive after managing just 3 runs in the last 32 innings. As Tacoma scores 7 in the 1st.

V. Catricala goes 4/6 driving in 2. R. Poythress hits HR #1 going 3/6 with 3 runs scored as well as 3 RBI's. D. Almonte goes 3/5 scoring 2 and driving in 3, E. Farris starting at SS goes 2/5 with a solo HR well J. Sucre gives Zunino a day off going 1/3 with 2 walks driving in 2.

A. Carraway picks up the win going 6 2/3 giving up 9 hits 4 runs well striking out 6. J. Kinney goes 1 inning giving up 2 hits and a unearned run, well B. Lafromboise goes 1 1/3 scoreless.

Sacremento's starter Banwart goes just 2/3 giving up 4 hits and 7 runs well walking 4.

Game 2 (Win 6-4)
N. Franklin goes 2/5 but is batting just .181. C. Triunfel is even worse going 1/4 batting (.052). The dayoff proved valuable to Zunino as he goes 1/3 with a solo HR (#1) well scoring 2 runs. E. Thames continues to be on fire going 2/4 with his first HR driving in 3 (batting .363).

E. Ramirez gets the no decision going 5 giving up 4 runs (3 ER) on 4 hits well walking 4 and striking out 3. M. Brazis goes 3 innings giving up 1 hit to improve to (2-0). Smith pitches the 9th for his 3rd save.

Game 3 (Win 6-1)
Danny Hulzten was dominate showing why he could be called up very soon. As he pitched the complete game 3 hitter striking out 11 (now 1-1 with a 1.17 ERA).

D. Almonte goes 2/3 hitting 2 HR's driving in 3 to lead the offense. S Romero also hits his 1st HR as well a picking up his 1st SB going 2/5 with 2 runs scored and 1 RBI. M. Zunino went 2/5 raising his Avg to .291 well 1B R. Poythress was 2/3 with his 2nd HR of the season.

Game 4 (Loss 5-8)
After going 7 innings in his game against Fresno, James Paxton just didn't have it tonight. He would last 3 innings giving up 9 hits 7 runs (6 ER) walking 2 and striking out 4, to fall to (0-2).

R. Elias would come in and go 2 2/3 before leaving with a injury. giving up 2 hits and a run. B. Lafromboise pitched the final 2 1/3 giving u 1 hit well walking and striking out 1.

A. Liddi 2/5 and J. Sucre 1/4 led the team with 2 RBI's each. S. Romero went 2/4 stealing his 2nd base of the season well scoring 1. and C. Triunfel had his best game of the year going 2/3 with 2 runs scored and his 1st SB. (now batting .153).

Re: It's Raining in Seattle (A Dual M's and Rainiers Franchise) MLB13 The Show

Rainiers welcome 2 new faces!!

With injury to LHP RP R Elias (out 2-3 weeks w/inflamed hip) GM Ryne "The Deuce" Scott went to Free Agency and signed former All-Star Hung Chih Kuo (76 A). Kuo finished the 2010 season with a 3–2 record, led all Major League relievers with a 1.20 ERA. In 56 appearances out of the bullpen, he pitched 60.0 innings, struck out 73 walking just 18 (4.05 Strikeout to walk ratio) while converting 12 saves in 13 chances. But injuries and a anxiety disorder limited Kuo to just 27 innings in 2011. He was not resigned by LAD and became a Free Agent. He signed a deal with Seattle but lasted just 1 month before being release in the spring. He later signed a minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs, but again lasted just 1 month. Now after a year off and with a fresh arm that can still hit the high 90's. Kuo is back and ready to so hecan still pitch at 31 yrs old.

Ryno-"We are excited to add Kuo, he gives us another solid late inning lefty and ha experience closing games. He is a great addition to our club"

With the bullpen addition and the Tacoma staff pitching well through the first 8 games, Deuce and Ryno have decided to send RHP C. Ruffin who has yet to see action in a game to AA Jackson, and add another bat to the roster via a trade acquiring 1B Beau Mills from the Reds for 23 yr old 1B Taylor Ard (63 C) and 22 yr old SS Gabriel Noriega (55 D) both playing in AA Jackson.

Mills originally caught the eye of "The Deuce" well playing at Lewis and Clark State. Deuce had gone to Lewiston Idaho to watch he NAIA World Series and knew from the way Mills swung the bat he would be a future big leaguer.

Mills was selected 17th Overall in the 2007 Draft by the Cleveland Indians whom his dad former MLB player Brad Mills is a coach for. Prior to college Mills was drafted in the 44th round by the Boston Red Sox.

In 2008 Mills was named the Carolina League MVP after batting .291 with 21 HR and 90 RBI for the Kingston Indians. In 2009 playing at AA Akron, Mills batted .267 with 14 HR 33 Doubles well driving in 83. In 2010 Mills production declined and in 2011 and 2012 he all but disappeared spending most of his time on the DL or bench. The Indians traded him to he Reds for cash. Now with a fresh start the 26 yr old Lefty will hope to find his swing back in the Pacific Northwest, where he first impressed his new GM.

Deuce-"I am really excited to add Beau to the club. He will give us a solid LH bat off the bench which was something we were missing. He also gives us the ability to platoon with Poythress if he struggles with RHP. Right now the plan is to get him some AB's at the DH spot against RHP"

Re: It's Raining in Seattle (A Dual M's and Rainiers Franchise) MLB13 The Show

VS

After opening the 2013 season with 8 straight road games, the Tacoma Rainiers return home to host the Salt Lake Bee's (LAA) and they would be doing it in a 30 millon dollar remodeled stadium. Ben Cheney Stadium is no more, he Rainiers will now be playing their home games at Statesman Park.

Here is a recap of how the 4 game series went.

Game 1 Recap (Loss 1-3)

The bats once again were keep quite as the Rainiers mananged just 3 hits as Buzz's starter Billy Buckner goes 7 innings walking 5 and striking out 8 for his 2nd win o the season.

J. Bonderman falls to (0-1) going 5 1/3 giving up 6 hits and 2 runs well striking out 5. H. Kuo makes his debut going 1 1/3 giving up 1 hit. Y. Medina pitched the 8th and 9th giving up 2 hits and 1 run.

At the plate it was Romero 1/3, Farris 1/4 an Triunfel 1/3 getting the hits.

Game 3 Recap (Loss 4-8)

The Buzz took a 3-0 lead after 1, but Tacoma bounced back to tie the game in the 5th, but a 4 run 9th spelt doom for the home team.

3B Luke Carlin led the way for the Buzz going 4/5 with 4 RBI's and 2B M. Long hit his 2nd HR in as many days going 2/4 with 2 runs scored.

For Tacoma Beau Mills looked good in his 2nd game going 3/5 with a solo HR (#1) and N. Franklin hit his 1st HR of the season (2-run shot)

On the mound. Carraway went 4 2/3 giving up 9 hits and 4 runs striking out 3. J. Kinney took the loss giving up the solo HR to Long in the 9th, then M. Brazis came in to give up 2 hits and 3 runs in just 1/3 of work.

Game 3 Recap (Win 1-0)

This time the Rainiers were on the opposite side of a great pitching performance. E. Ramirez goes 7 strong giving up just 5 hits striking out 2, but fails to pickup the win, as the Rainers win in walkoff fashion as N. Franklin drives in C. Peguero in the 9th with 2 outs.

J. Kinney picks up the win pitching the 8th and 9th giving up no hits, walking 2 and striking out 3.

Well the Rainiers managed just 9 hits, SS C. Triunfel was on fire going 4/4 raising his season Avg to .272. Francisco Martinez called up from AA Jackson, after A. Almonte was sent back to Single A Everett, went 2/4 with a SB.

(Martinez as batting .330 with 9 RBI's in 4 games at Jackson )

Game 4 Recap (Win 2-1)

Good pitching or poor hitting continues to be the story in a league known for Offense. Just 10 hits between the 2 teams (SL-4, Tacoma-6).

D. Hultzen improves to 2-1 going 8 2/3 giving up 3 hits and 1 run well walking 3 and striking out 6. C. Smith get's the final out for his 3rd save of the season.

E. Farris get's the game winning RBI in the 8th, well M Zunino picks up the other RBI in the 5th driving in N. Franklin after a double. 1B Poythress was the only player on either team to manage more then 1 hit going 2/3.

UP NEXT THE RAINIERS HOST THE FRESNO GRIZZLIES WHOM THEY OPENED THE SEASON WITHIN A 4 GAME SPLIT.

@

After opening the season in Fresno (SF AAA) splitting the 4 game series winning the opener and Game 4. Tacoma played host to the Grizzlies. With Game 1 being a rematch of Game 3 earlier in the year as LHP J. Paxton took on RHP J. Fitzgerald.

Game 1 Recap (Loss 2-4)

Fitzgerald again was dominate improving to (2-1) going 7 1/2 giving up 7 hits and 2 runs striking out 4. However this this time Paxton was not. For the 2nd straight game the lefty struggled going just 5 innings giving up 7 hits and 4 runs, walking 2 and striking out 4. Paxton falls to (0-3) and has a ERA of 7.20.

N.Franklin raised his Avg to .232 going 2/4 with a RBI Triple, after S. Romero 1/4 hit a Triple the AB before. D. Almonte also went 2/4 with a RBI and SB to lead Tacoma at the plate.

Game 2 Recap (Win 2-0)

J. Bonderman picks up Win #1 going 6 2/3 giving up 6 hits and zero runs. He struck out 7. Smith pitched the 9th for his 5th save.

No Rainier hitter had more then 1 hit. Almonte hit another 3B enjoying the big OF at Statesman park and Franklin added another RBI.

Game 3 Recap (Win 8-3)

M. Zunino hit his 2nd HR of the year (2-run shot) going 3/4. F. Martinez got the start in CF and went 2/5 with a double driving in 3 RBI. C. Triunfel also went 3/4 scoring 3 runs.

Carraway improved to 2-0 going 6 1/3 giving up 8 hits and 3 runs (2 ER) walking 3 and striking 4.

Game 4 Recap (Win 3-2)

B. Mills back in the Lineup at DH goes 1/5 but it's big one as he hit's his 2nd HR on a walkoff in the 10th. M. Zunino was 2/5 with a run scored (now batting .307) N. Franklin and D. Almonte each pick up a SB, as Ryno continues to give his players the green light to be aggressive and run.

On the mound, SP E. Ramirez went 5 2/3 giving up 2 runs on 8 hits, walking 3 and striking out 4. J. Kinney pitche 2 1/3 striking out 4 lowering his ERA to 0.79. B. Lafromboise pitched the 9th and 10th giving up 1 hit to earn the W. (now 1-0).

Comments from Ryno
"The Bullpen continues to keep us in games, Kinney, Medina and LaFromboise are on fire. Smith has been dominate when we get him the ball in the 9th with a lead. Paxton is going to get 1 more start to show us he deserves to be here, if not he is headed to Jackson to see if he can turn things around. Now the only question is does T. Walker (3-1 5.96 ERA) get called up.

At the plate J. Blash is killing the ball in Jackson hitting over .400 with a league leading 8 HR's. C. Peguero has 1 more series to do something at the plate or there will be a change in the OF."

Thanks for following. I posted a Player Cap for your thread. Looking forward to seeing what happens with my guy. Who knows maybe one day he can be a Rainier or Mariner.
