58.11- Bogota Blues

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...

Re: v25 Conversion Poll

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...

58.10- Three To Dream On

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...

58.9-In Which My Motives Are Questioned

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...

Re: GM Change, Buenos Aires Brisas

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...

58.8- Post-Draft Top 10 Prospects

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...

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...

Re: 58.6- The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

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.

58.6- The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

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 ...

58.5- Spinning an Oldie

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...

Re: 2058: Bikini Krill

70 games would be nice. :) Good write up. To be honest, I have no idea how good we're going to be. But Mellott will definitely play second base for the semi-forseeable future. He just bumped a point of Eye, too. So...we'll see. Thanks. I thought since you’ve been active writing previews someone sho...

2058: Bikini Krill

As we all know, Bikini is the old Seattle team, a franchise that, if not actually neglected, was at least not given the TLC that some other teams were. It’s now beginning its second year under the stewardship of Ron Collins. Ron, of course, is one of the acknowledged Jedi masters of the BBA, and man...
