2057.2: Barling Debuts

Roughly three weeks after being selected in the first round of the BBA draft, 31st overall, Charles Barling got the call every player in the minor leagues hopes to get; the call to join the big league club. The team drafted Barling with an idea that he could help fill a spot they would need filled a...

Still, to this day, glad that I didn't draft Davis #1 the year he was in the pool.

I mean...usually the last 5 or so rounds are me and Fred "holding things up." Takes maybe a half hour or an hour to bounce picks back and forth. Is that some kind of problem?
Coincidentally, also my favorite rounds.

Didn't they have zero last year? @Rubaboo
We had no October make-ups but I don't recall if the actual number of rainouts was zero.

Re: 2057 – Aging Out: Thirty-Seven

Super sad Illingworth got hurt last season. He's been a great mercenary for a handful of seasons. Always on a reasonable deal for his production as well. Hope he has a couple of seasons left.

2057.1: Early Offseason Notes

The smoke has barely cleared from the fireworks after the Oysters' Brewster Championship Series (BCS?) win (Boo rival, yay Frontier) but the merciless BBA calendar continues to chug along, always bringing more work to do for the masochists that run its franchises. The Aztecs submitted early season p...

Re: Charm City 2056.8 - Team Batter and Pitcher of the Year - Season Wrapup

You definitely would have won that series at full strength. We were just able to paper over the cracks with you hamstrung by key injuries. Get healthy and let's do it again next year.

Wow. Didn’t realize that he had 5. Very impressive.
Pretty interesting to think that he and Wullenweber are both on 5 and are in the same generation of players.

I think you are safe to start referring to him as “future Hall of Famer.”
One would certainly hope so at this point.

"It's really a credit to those guys, being able to do that with what they had. We really didn't help them by leaving any roster players down there, we needed everybody on deck at the big league level, and they were still able to keep chugging along and get it done. Really a credit to Callum and his ...

Klooster is annoying. When I see him in FA I always think for a moment he could work but then talk myself out of it because of injuries.
He's got a real knack for taking time off during the playoffs as well. Not cool.

The season just ended for the Mexico City Aztecs, and that means that the offseason has just started. The time to plan for 2057 has begun. The first order of business for the Aztecs is sifting through the list of players who have contracts ending this offseason and decide who to try to bring back in...

2056.3: Wake Me Up When September Ends

2056 was supposed to be a downturn year for the Aztecs. The pundits predicted in the preseason that the team would start to show its age and would flounder a bit, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2048. Instead, the Aztecs chugged ahead much as they've done for much of the last decade, p...

another awesome year for Zwicker. Being released by @Rubaboo after being a R5 pick really lit a fire under his ass and turned him into a good ballplayer.
Yeah, not sure why I released him. He'd be exactly the kind of player I'd be interested in having now...
