This All Star break couldn't come at a better time. The Beef are a little beat up right now and will enjoy the long break after this upcoming sim.

Now all you need to do is get some hitting and you could be a contender for a divisional race, unless you were in the A(L)east, then you'd be running away with it

Should have been an easy sweep. Didn't have my SS (available for pinch hit duties) or 3B playing a game all week.

So what happens when you offer a guy the same amount in IFA? Does he just choose whatever team he likes more

I really wish this game had more dynamic traits for players like football manager does.

Football manager has things like "enjoys big matches" or "inconsistent performer" things like that that can help determine how a player will play.

There has to be something under the hood. I always feel like there are guys that perform way worse or way better despite not having the ratings. Maybe it's just sample size- but man I remember guys like Jordan Blackshaw who looked like a stud, but just wouldn't perform until he was 28- even though he had 1,691 AB's from ages 24- 27.
