While I have the floor, I will also like to point out how ecstatic I am that my blue potential ace arm now falls into the "fly ball pitcher" category while averaging like 0.5HR/9 over his minor league career and giving up a grand total of 54 HR in 8 years while throwing 99-101.
Make sense OOTP!!

Nope and this was a big ploy to make every award named after a Steel City great
the Mal Grady MVP award has a great sound to it (even tho he never won an MVP)

If Bly has that type of rookie season I’d be ecstatic. We can’t develop pitchers in Prosper for anything so good luck young fella.
Nice to see New England down there again as well. Just feels right.
