I was excited about Randull, but after waiting for him to recover from injury and his rough first few innings with us, I couldn't wait around any longer. Good to see him living up to his potential.

The best starting pitching ERA in the Frick finally gets its second pitcher in the top 100.

Same for the Johnson, though I think I've had two for awhile. Carlos Berrera just recently fell off, and Harry Stewart creeped in at #99.

-10 Eye. Works counts and tires opposing pitchers so your big bats can rake third time through.

Lol, he's only the third best eye in my lineup, behind Sato and Huerta. It's my goal this season to make sure no opposing starter makes it out of the fifth inning.

It was mid-December in the Cape Fear front office. The Winter Meetings had just ended, and President of Baseball Operations, Woody Donahue, needed a vacation. Fortunately, he had a standing booking at this time every year at his preferred five-star resort in Mallorca. His bags were packed, and he wa...

I did make an effort to improve my defense this year, but this is slightly ridiculous.

So from your perspective, you basically traded Matt Dowsett for Bob Walker. Did you win the trade? I guess we'll find out.

Just bumping this, because it doesn't seem to be fixed yet.

Alvarado's also a local boy! I believe some players get an extra boost from playing close to their hometown. So don't count him out just yet.

Please add Kullervo Almila to Cape Fear's active roster, bullpen, Long Relief, normal usage.

Thanks!

Please send Juan Herrera back to Twin Cities. I felt bad taking a local Minnesota boy out of Minnesota.

He won a championship his rookie year with Edmonton, so he's a lock as far as I'm concerned

You searched "ribs" to find this?

Voted for 14. Not many of the new players on the ballot did it for me. Even as the resident GBC apologist, I couldn't bring myself to vote for Strolz or Barfoot. But Yano was a yes.

Anyway, the beauty of this whole system is that there are no rules or guidelines telling us what we should value for HoF candidacy. So maybe career WAR should be considered, or maybe championships should be, or personality, or facial hair style, or whatever people choose to give importance to. Ultim...

why does fame=was lucky to be on playoff teams and be excellent in those games? I wouldn't call it "lucky". Good players should lead their teams to the playoffs. This is even more true in the case of a closer, where wins and losses are directly impacted by their performance. I'll concede that there...

Cape Fear Swamp Foxes: SP Carlos Berrera was injured while pitching. The Diagnosis: torn labrum (Shoulder). He's expected to miss about 5 months. Cape Fear Swamp Foxes: RP Imad Hakeem was injured while pitching. The Diagnosis: partially torn UCL. He's expected to miss about 10 months. This was a ro...

I'm a voter who has made up my mind about O'Macken, and here's why I haven't voted for him: - No championships - 4 blown saves in 10 opportunities in the playoffs - 4.10 ERA in the playoffs Compare him to someone like Manuel Barrera , who I will vote for when he's eligible. Barrera has 3 rings, and ...

Honestly give her a team. She'd be a great GM.

I've got the GBC previews again.

Please add Gerardo Flores to my 40-man, so all these savages keep their hands off him in the Rule 5. Thanks.
