Thanks for all the kind words guys. Good luck to all of you.

Just wanted to drop a line to let everyone know I will be stepping down as Blazers GM. It has been a long, long run with the team with varying levels of success and failure. A new job, and a daughter who plays on travel teams for hockey and rugby has left me with very little time for OOTP, and as a ...

5-1 and I don't think I gained any ground in my division. The JL Atlantic looking like the best division in the league right now.

It is a little slow for me as well.

I have made some promotions and MLC offers hoping to address this.

I'm jealous. My parents weren't willing to shell the money out for that one so I had to play the "free" sports like soccer and basketball. Ya, I was pretty fortunate. My childhood was spent from rink to rink 5 times a week. Made sure I thanked my parents for that. I am paying it forward to my daugh...

Mine was spent playing hockey. Canada eh??

Kinda hard to give a MR recognition but Adkins has filled many roles for us over the years. Even started a few games, as well as filling in as closer at times. He has certainly been about as valuable as a MR can be.

Solid 4-2 sim including a game where we had 9 stolen bases against Madison.

Welcome back Joe!

Jays/Leafs....if I recall you are Phillies/Flyers..

If a player had almost exactly the same number of seasons (like Freitas) with his first team as his second, I can absolutely see the second team having a leg up for their decision based on recency bias. It's not like a Roy Halladay situation where he was with Toronto for way, way long than Philadel...

The Landis maybe, but finishing his career there should have no impact. It is interesting for sure. His career numbers are better with Montreal across the board.

EDIT - I am not complaining or trying to make a case for it to be Montreal. Just curious as to how it was made.

How is it that Luis Freitas is listed as a Huntsville player on the ballot? His stats are close between Montreal and Huntsville but he has an edge in pretty much everything with Montreal. Games/IP/K's/WAR etc..all better with Montreal. He did win a Landis his 1st year in Huntsville. Just wondering h...

Much more realistic this way.

To Montreal:

CF Juan Diaz (AAA)

To Lou:

3B Abdul-Azim Rais (R)

Depth pickup who may play a little against LHP.

Long way to go yet Alan. We haven't even started yet.

Agreed.

Thanks for the quick deal Joshua.

BIG piece. Didn't want it to happen and it will be strange not having him in my lineup.

I had to update for another league.
