Boston Red Sox (MLB 07: The Show)

[Psyblast]

• Veteran difficulty
• Pared's sliders (with some slight adjustments based on gameplay)
• Close to 100% updated rosters (if I tried to 100% accuracy I'd lose my mind; too many transactions and adjustments to keep up with)

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 07: The Show)



Storylines entering April:

-Daisuke's debut April 5th
-A pair of three game series with the Yankees
-J.D. Drew's debut in RF; can he fight off Wily Mo Pena to keep that spot?
-The Roger Clemens factor - The Astros, Red Sox and Yankees are all gauging their interest in the Hall of Famer

(Thanks Kredit, hope you don't mind I used your idea for the schedule )

But then how will his rotation consist of Johan Santana and Francisco Liriano?
