    You know what would be cool, if we could all do our RTTS online in the same "league". I know it would be a logistic nightmare but it sure would be fun.

      Rick Vaughn got slapped in the face with some AAA ball reality! Despite the fact it could've have been A LOT worse, he walked into his first start a little too thick headed after having a ton of success down in AA.

          AAA Indianapolis I'm batting .333 and am 2nd on the team in RBI's.

Disgusted, I ask for a trade but it is denied because 'I'm too valuable to the organization' (this is the Pirates so I completely understand). So next game I hit back to back home runs and go 4 for 4. I ask for my starting job back and the manager says 'sure thing'. lol
          I am in a somewhat similar boat as you.

          In season 1 i get stuck at AAA all season despite not being ready for it and playing terrible. I am a 3B for the Brewers organization and hit like .170 but i couldn't get them to send me down to AA

          Year 2 i finally get to go to AA and have a nice year. I get some points and raise my ratings.

          Year 3- i start at AAA and am just killing the ball. I get promoted to AAA and do a nice job there and finally get a call up to play for the main club in June. I hit .281 there with 8 homers and 30 RBIs.

          Offseason- I decide to not renew with the Brewers but no one even offers me a contract despite having a decent rookie season. I get stuck reupping with them for a 1 year deal.

          Year 4- I am on the Brewers right from the get go. I am hitting .303 with 13 homers and 44 RBIs in 75 games and try to use all my points on achievements goals but now i am benched. I am leading the team in batting average for the people that normally start. I requested a trade but i am too valuble, i asked to change positions but its a no go, etc but now i am stuck pinch hitting.

          I like RTTS but stuff like this sure frustrating.

          Just to update- after a month of pinch hitting- i got sent to AAA with a .310, 16 homers and 53 RBIs- WTF.

              I can't walk to save my life in my rtts career. Any tips?

              I play HOF default, everything off. i.e strike zone, guess pitch etc..

              I'm hitting around .250 with 4 homers and 11 RBI in about 15 games at AA but I can't seem to complete the walk goals.

              I played the entire spring training and walked once. ugghh..


              Anybody?

                I'm a pitcher so I can't really help you on that one man. Wish I could.

                  Indeed, that was thanks to the offensive tear my team produced, so he got lucky!

                    Lucky you. My team has an offensive "tear" also. A different kind though....

                        I'm just biding my time till I go up and play for a MLB team that sucks instead of this AAA squad that sucks.

                        I see you in NJ. I hate it here man. Wanna go back to NY but it's cheaper to live here.

                            Some of these AA teams are incompetent.

                            I'm sure it's pretty bad being a pitcher, but as a RF, there's nothing like getting the call defensively five or six times in a game, only for three of those opportunities being no-doubt moonshots to RF.

                            Offensively, it's pretty bad too. You mean to tell me that I come up to the plate with runners on first and second with no one out, I get walked or line a base hit, and the next three hitters strike out promptly . FMRTTSL, it's no wonder why I only have 9 runs scores in almost 60 games played.
