As far as the draft discussion, I agree with both sides.
I see what you are saying when the effort was 2.5 seconds to ask your scout for the draft list and if you are #9 overall, I would think you would look at your list that was generated and edit it so that the first 2-3 rounds is what you want.
But I agree with what AJ said to. Even if you ask your scout, why is he drafting guys that he sees as below avg when others he rates higher are available.

You are not very optimistic about some high rated guys even making it to majors or AAA. Be a little more positive and smile there George

Norman Jones, 17th round 501st pick...blue OSA potential, blue scout potential. He was #115 out of #169 on my draft list. Pretty sure he was low 60's prior to last report

Point being, good to see these rating changes go the other way for once

Realist. I already know some guys will be blocked once they make their way up thru the minors.

Looks like Pig hit a grand slam with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th.

IFA Class looks very solid, no Marino type guys but a lot of really good ones.

I REALLY want the guy from Cyprus.

Off the best lefty reliever in the game so far this season too. Impressive!

Tampa,Philly, Sheltown, and Winterfell are going to be bloody fight until the end for that last wild card spot!!!

Hell even Seattle may bumble and trip over its own tail.

Cant believe I am saying this but the Beef have made some breathing room in their spot and are actually playing well. How did that happen?

This feels like some weird effort to distract everyone from something else that you really want

Is there a way to check career pitching vs left/right? I would like to see what Jim Maloney's career numbers are vs lefties. His ratings make him a god against them haha.

His lineup has basically matched mine in runs this season. His 2nd half fall from grace will be epic!!!




I'm in a dangerous spot, 4.5 games back of the final wildcard spot. About 2-3 weeks away from finally having my lineup healthy, but if I get any further back, it may not matter at that point.

You have kept it afloat just enough to hang around which is all you need.

Trade deadline additions may be HUGE this year for some of these fringe teams.

The NL is just as crazy with 4 teams within 1.5, AL with 5 with 4.5

Lindsey is back next sim and probably gonna send him to a few rehab starts before bringing him up. Rotation needs to get better as Byrd spirals into despair.

AL ROY looks like a 2 man race between Boston's Eduardo Munoz, who i think we all knew would put up some solid numbers this season, and surprise newcomer from Sheltown in Scot Booth. Both are on pace for 4.8 WAR.


ETA: SP Manny Leyva is in the mix too, also on pace for 4.8 WAR

SHL has 15 games left before the AS break, 7 of those against Omaha.

I know that rust is a real thing in this game. ST helps get rid of it. I assume after a monster injury, rust would be there again. But after 20 innings or so, it is gone. I guess if your rotation isn't that good, it wouldn't hurt just putting him in.
