Why did Lynchy leave? Anyway, welcome Blake. Good luck in the MBBA. It had gotten to the point where I couldn't commit to two writing leagues anymore with so much going on in my personal life (work, baby, house on the market, etc.). The writing was on the wall when I tried to write my preview about...

The spring training sim was pushed to April 1, thus giving all people on the 40-man roster a 300K contract and a day of service time. This shouldn't happened and has thus pushed me over the cap. I shouldn't have to cut prospects in AAA to get under the cap because of a simming error. Is there any re...

Man, Hunter is an absolute beast. And Bullrush is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. Why he hasn't pitched better, I'll never understand.

You can, but it's just not as likely. I hadn't noticed Izatt's demise. That's honestly too bad.

Moving Whitley was definitely a mistake on my part. But I also have a title and two other Landis appearances to show for it, so I can't really complain. He's going to be a monster for a very long time.

Yeah, no way I get mine done before opening day. Probably Monday or Tuesday.

Yeah, I mean, he's going to be my backup at first base.

To Calgary:
RF Roebrto Santiago (majors)

To Des Moines:
1B David Prestwood (majors)

Thanks for the easy talks, Josh!

Des Moines passes

Seriously. Any offer will get him.

83 wins? I find that difficult to believe.

I'll take Louisville

I'm very guarded with my beer. I value it greatly. I probably wouldn't have made that deal!

Because of cap concerns, I have to put RF Roberto Santiago on the block. He's got a lot of pop in his bat and is a very good corner outfielder defensively. In 235 at bats, he hit .319 with 14 HR, 61 RBI and a .934 OPS. I'll take the first decent offer I get on him, knowing that I'm outing myself wit...

Offensively, yes, Modz is a heaping pile of dog shit. But if he only acts as a defensive replacement, he should be useful as a 6th OF.

Crothers was somewhere on my list for the Rule V. Nice pick-up.

I don't know if I've ever seen a pitching split as wide as Rentas. He could end up being an amazing lefty specialist out of the bullpen.

I like the pickups. Id just hate knowing I have to keep all 4 of them on my roster all-season. Torrealba is nice, but may develop slower now since he has to be on the roster. I don't know. I've never fully figured out how much having guys like him on the ML roster slows down development. Yeah, obvi...

If he gets 100 at bats, I'll poke myself in the eye with a fork.

Yeah, I was pretty excited to get him, because I had him targeted for my bullpen anyway. I don't use the conversion/specializations enough.
