Well…..Johnson looks like a keeper; he’ll start 2059 in the rotation. Mitchell is an “if all else fails” option at second next year. Patterson will be given fifty dollars and a suit of clothes and escorted to the city limits.

As the Gamblers wrap up another forgettable season (at least I hope it’s forgettable) , let’s hand out some awards to put a shiny bow on the steaming pile of poop that was 2058: MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: It’s weird giving the MVP to a guy who hit .255 with no power, but the Gamblers pitching staff as a ...

It was Rafael, my assistant GM, who first brought the issue of the recently acquired Julio Barajas to my attention. “Um… If we’re really going to assign this guy to Bogota, somebody should probably travel with him” he said. “How come?” “Well… we both know that most baseball players aren’t particular...

Atlantic City Receives

3B Júlio Barajas (R)


Long Beach Receives

SP Eddie Armstrong

Atlantic City confirms.

Finally voted… Sorry, it’s been a busy few days for me. Anyway, I voted for the immediate changeover, which seems like it would provide the most level playing field. If we wait another season, those GMs who have the time and inclination will delve into v25 more deeply, and leave the other half of th...

Atlantic City receives:

3b Mesrak Youssef (ML)

Charm City receives:

P Evgeny Partyka (SA)
P Travis Miley (R)

Charm City to confirm. Youssef can stay DFA for this next sim.

The second half of a season is the dead zone for teams out of the playoff hunt. This is the time of year when such teams hold open auditions for players they’re on the fence about, trying to get a read on whether these guys can theoretically be part of the next relevant edition of the team. Let’s lo...

ATC confirms this earthshaking transaction…

I like to say that my door is always open to any of my players. I like to say that; in reality, my door is always open because due to some ventilation issues, if I close my door I find myself sweating like a whore in church within five minutes. But at any rate, my door was indeed open when pitcher A...

Welcome Adam! I’ve been “caretaking” the Brisas and am happy to turn things over to you. I’ve been trying to build up the pitching staff a bit, while still leaving enough money for you to have some fun with if you choose to. My advice is to spend it on something; if you don’t it will just vanish int...

All the new ATC players can be DFAed; I'll sort it al...

I love me some lists. I think I love making top ten prospect lists because 1) It helps me organize my thoughts. 2) It makes me feel better about the direction my franchise is heading despite another lackluster year. 3) It’s useful in identifying needs I might have down the road. 4) It’s a good excus...

Atlantic City receives:
SP Alejandro González - AA

Rocky Mountain receives:
$500,000

@chicoruiz to confirm.

Confirmed. Gonzalez to AAA rotation; I’ll send a new file with the proper opening later today.

With the draft completed, let’s start things off with a critical recap of the prospects I came away with in the first few rounds: 1. P SETH WELLER - My feeling is, if you’re going to take someone #1 overall, he should pretty much have zero blemishes, and that’s Seth. Oh, his control could maybe be a...

The record is 810; Ernesto is sitting at 776. I used to think he’d make it, but his slow start this season has me wondering.

You can find this stuff on Stats+ under Historical/ Leaderboard-Players.

Just a quick check-in with the Gamblers as April 2058 turns to May 2058… THE GOOD: Matt Hewat was moved from short to second to get better defense in the lineup, but the move seems to have revitalized his bat as well. He’s currently OPSing .922. That’s fool’s gold; nothing about him indicates that ...

Please return IF Hilton Davila to Sao Paolo. Seemed like a good idea at the time…

Okay…this needs some explaining… As you may remember, I drafted a teenage shortstop first overall last season whose defensive ratings are pretty amazing. The only problem is, his name is Johnny Lazer , and every time I see his name as I peruse my organization, for some reason it makes me think of an...
