Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread
Good luck with Souza. He hasn't made my team still, but he has been in a few minor league all star games. I might have to give him a try though. Hawksworth has turned out to be the worst pitcher in my bull pen. He pitches well for me, but in sim games he always gives up a run or two. His era is somewhere north of 7 right now in the middle of May. I had to send Breslow down to bring up a backup IF, but I can't bring him up to replace Hawksworth because I need a righty in the pen and Hawksworth is the best option right now. I am going to have to stick with him a little longer to see if he figures out the change in leagues. Maybe SOuza will be the guy. Let me know how he works for you.
In the middle of May and I can't seem to get Pena and Dunn really going. Everyone else is fine. Pena does have 7 dingers, but he is batting .202 in the 3 spot. Dunn in the clean up is batting around .270 with only 3 homers on the season. Carter is leading the team with 8 and batting 5th. I could move stuff around, but I don't want to freak out and mess with a championship lineup. How long should I wait before blowing up the lineup, especially when we are still in first?
Yankees offered me a trade. Josh Hamilton for Suzuki and 2B Eric Sogard. It is a hell of a deal, but way too costly. Hamilton is making something like $17 mil. Plus the Yankees are over budget (the trade screen showed a negative $1.5 mil) and I like them suffering. I am hoping the have to shed some of their best players in order to get under budget.
The first trade of the season just happened and it wasn't a good one for us. The Red Sox sent Youklis to the Angels for two pitching prospects. Youk, who I can't stand in real life and kills me on the game, was not playing due to Agon and LaPorta at first as well as Beltre at 3rd. Now Youk will get more playing time with the Angels and I will have to face him a ton more. Plus the Red Sox add more pitching prospects to help them in the future.
