What's up with the ROY - especially those numbers...

Rookie of the Year
2B Chris Getz
Chicago White Sox
.239 AVG
13 HR
64 RBI

oof

[Shinyhubcaps]

Too many 50-HR hitters, too much Padre love, and Angel Salome will not even play in the big leagues this year. Other than that, the simulation sounds fair enough.

Hmm. Sounds reasonable. Not how I'd like it, definitely, but it sounds very reasonable.

Good sim, but with the money the Mets pay Santana there's no chance they make Mike Pelfrey the Game 7 starter.

Too bad in the playoffs, they don't put any priorty on pitching. It's still starters 1 through 5 just like the regular season. They don't even go down to a 4 man staff.

you wont see guys hitting 50+ HRs like that, plus Posada aint retiring after this year unless he had a career ending injury.

Why not? He's what 37/38 and played in 1500 career games - getting up there for a catcher. And he was injured last year which resulted in one of his worst seasons since becoming the starter there.

If he doesn't get going this year, I could see him retiring (unless of course, he's specifically said otherwise).

He will not retire and walk away from 12 million dollars. He will be playing next year unless He has an injury where he can not play next year and the Yankees can cash in on the insurance policy ala Albert Belle.

The Cubs are so overrated it makes me sick!

Re: MLB 09: The Show Simulates the 2009 Season

The simulation lost all credibility when I say Troy Percival win the Reliever of the year. Troy F****** Percival...hahahaha!

Or Escobar winning AL Cy Young.

Re: MLB 09: The Show Simulates the 2009 Season

every time I sim I get different results but with same 3-4 teams getting into the 2009 playoffs every time. So I don't see the point of this, actually...

LETS GO METS!!!

LET'S GO METS!!! starting my PSP season soon

Good sim, but with the money the Mets pay Santana there's no chance they make Mike Pelfrey the Game 7 starter.

unless Santana pitched in Game 6

Re: MLB 09: The Show Simulates the 2009 Season

I did one sim earlier today and I still see higher SB numbers than normal. Everything else seems believeable, but Ichiro did have 23 HR's!

Edit: Slightly higher. The SB leader for 08 had 68. I shut up now. For the last 8 years the SB leaders have been between 50-70 SBs.

[Imnus]

I really don't see the Yankees being third after finally getting good pitching. And the Red Sox winning the WS without Manny.
