Re: Rate my lineup

Well trading for Ryan Braun and Manny Parra seem quite unrealistic (in the real world).

No, trading for Braun is unrealistic. Manny Parra isn't some all-mighty pitcher. If someone gave the Brewers a good deal, they'd consider shipping him out.

Re: Rate my lineup

The addition of Braun and Holliday will certainly give you some added offensive fire power. I think it looks pretty good. Are those trades realistic? That is debateable....but since this is a game...that doesn't matter. Looks good to me....Braun is set to explode this season I think, barring injury, he should put up some huge numbers. If Holliday plays to just his "norms" you will get 30+ / 100+. Yeah.....nice moves.

I don't know if Holliday will be anything special in Oakland. His road numbers are pretty much a fraction of what they are in Coors.

Re: Rate my lineup

The Braun trade is the only thing that I am iffy about (in terms of unfair) I signed Vlad in the offseason and packaged him with I think Glen Perkins and another player for Braun and one of the Brewers scrubs.

Re: Rate my lineup

Not bad. Why is Figgins on the bench?

Yea i would put Figgins in at 2nd instead of Casillas.

Re: Rate my lineup

It would better if you are not going to start Figgins, get some pitching for him. And then you will have a squad..

Why do you even play if you're gonna make extremely unrealistic moves?

Because its a video game...If he was going for realism, then he failed, but if he has fun playing with those rosters then more power to him...

I am more than curious to see how he does away from Coors...the stat differences for pitchers that have played there and then on the road are interesting and well documented...I want to see how it changes for a hitter of his skill level....however that will take more than a couple of years to come up with true and accurate numbers. I have a hunch he will "get his" no matter where he plays.

Re: Rate my lineup

Which moves are unrealistic? So am I suppose to let guys like Carl Crawford, Harden, etc. just sit out there in free agency? If my team does well, has the $$, why wouldn't I try to sign stud free agents? I don't have force trades on, so the CPU has to accept everything. I mentioned that the Braun trade was a border line cheese. But I gave up Vlad, an up and coming pitcher in Perkins and another solid role player for Braun and a scrub that plays on my AA team.

I got out bid for Crawford, so it's not like I am signing up every stud free agent. I wanted a solid #1, so I went out and got Harden. I needed another outfielder, so I didn't resign Gomez and got rid of Delmon Young.

Re: Rate my lineup

Braun should be in LF.
Holliday the DH IMO
