Who is playing right field for the Red Sox? I think the CPU recoginzes Torii as an upgrade over Ross or Sweeney. May Anderson is in the last year of his contract. Did you check if Anderson is on the Angels MLB roster?

Well guys. I got my first win of the season against the Mets. I also threw my first no hitter EVER!

It was JJ on the hill for my Braves. He threw a total of 122 pitches, 9ks 1BB. The one BB was to Wright in the Btm 2nd, he stole 2nd and got stranded at 3B.

JJ also accounted for the team's only RBI. Which was a sac fly that scored Heyward from 3B. I ending the game by striking out Torres, chasing a 2SB away. I am a very proud man at this moment.

I saved the highlight. So I would greatly appreciated if someone can PM me on how to download the highlights for posting. I am on the way to Houston on a high note...

Another sweep for the Mariners. This is simply incredible. I even decreased some of the sliders to make it more challenging. The Twins came to town to face Matt Garza, Jason Vargas and Kevin Millwood.

Game one saw the Mariners battle Carl Pavano, and it was close till the seventh, when Seattle opened it up and won 4-1. Those four runs game on two two-run homeruns from Franklin and Casper Wells.

Game two was a blowout of the first degree. Seattle won 14-4, as the offense unloaded. Ichiro tripled, doubled and singled, Adam Lind doubled and hit a homerun, and the list keeps going. We had 22 hits by the end of the game.

Game three was a simmed 3-0 win.

Detroit comes to town next, and is the only team that I lost a series too back in April.

My last game was craziest game I've ever played. Through eight innings, I had two hits - solo homers from Uggla and McCann. I had a 2-1 lead after six, but the Mets got three in the 7th. Then the bullpen imploded and the Mets scored 7 in the 8th. So I'm down 11-2 in the 9th. Heyward doubles in a run. Bourn singles in one. Prado has a two-run single and then Chipper hits a three-run homer to make it 11-9. Unfortunately, the rally ended there.

So close but so far away.

such perfect timing. My test/hold me over season ended last night. I went 82-80 with the Padres and finished in 3rd place. Now the new rosters come out today! Time for my real franchise and rebuild to begin.

I hope this is the right thread for this question. Are there any changes to the player progression system in 12? And is there in season progression? Thanks for the answers guys!
