Hey man! Thanks for the reply. Well Montero was strictly a bat vs LHP, not actually catching. Almonte has been activated from the Dl (suspension) so Montero was sent down to AAA and broke his leg in his first game so he is now out a couple months lol. Pompey has been terrible. I sent him to AAA and I am giving Alford a shot vs. AAA pitching for now.

We won 2/3 vs. The Astros, but are currently 0-2 vs. The Marlins and 4 games back of the Yankees. Let's hope we can pull it together. Stay tuned for next update. It will include the pitching rosters/stats and hopefully a few more wins haha

I'm 5-0 with my Astros. Brung in Thor and Steven matz off the mets. I'm looking for a young 1B and a top prospect C I could make a trade for. Any suggestion?

I just got swept by the Royals. They destroyed me. It wasn't fun.

Just a game after the All-Star game and the only one to represent my team was Jaso who has been having a good season. Am on a 3 game losing streak and the fact that Longo, Souza, and Forsythe have all gone cold didn't help. I'm 6.5 games back from the Blue Jays but hold a 5 game advantage for the first wildcard spot.

My carryover franchise data got corrupted.

Went up against the A's and my offense finally started to get going. We scored 7 runs and 3 of them were thanks to Young's three run homer. Longo also drove in 2 runs on a double and a single. Moore was solid only struck out 3 and just went 7 innings since his pitch count was getting up there. Now we are only 5.5 games behind the Jays and have a 6 game advantage for the first wildcard spot.

The Marlins remain inconsistent to start June, going 7-8 so far, but at least two of those wins came off the Mets to slow down their climb towards the Marlins a bit.

The Mets had closed to within 6 games, but got pushed back to 7 after losing 2 of 3 to the Marlins. The lead is up to 8 games despite the Marlins winning just one of three so far from the Yankees.

The pitching staff is settling back down it seems, but the bats are now cooling off. Harper and Davis are trending back down lately with Yelich also doing the same. Bo Winter is the only one still hot as can be in the middle of the order. Everyone else in the lineup is the same old hit-or-miss (mostly miss) proposition, with Chris Taylor nearly under .220.

Speaking of Taylor, the Marlins might be nudging towards making a switch. The team loves Taylor's defense, which remains at a very high level at second base, but Les Carlyle has made his way to the majors. He's a promising infield prospect, likely to settle in at second base given his arm.

For now, Taylor remains the starter with the hopes he can get back to his .270-ish form.

Stan Brito, the team's young 3B, was perhaps facing the same situation...until Niko Goodrum got the chance to start and promptly made 3 errors. Goodrum is still around, but Brito and his slick fielding and canon arm will be at the hot corner.

Too many negative things about carryover franchises. I'll probably just start a new Sox franchise hoping they get the carryover fixed by 17
