Re: 2006, Sim #3 Chatter
Wolves go 7-2 and keep on keeping on.
Had 3 injuries that sim. Super backup, and man I was trying to give more PT Jaiden France, went down for 2 months creating a huge hole for me with back up infielders.

Re: That's What Cheesehead: 06.10 - Minor Leagues Go All-In
How many of those guys signed 30-day minor league contracts, though? I feel like several of those guys wanted one.... To my knowledge, they all signed full season deals. During the free agency period, most wanted either major league deals or minor league deal with a ML option. But once the season s...

Edwin Pyburn for Free
Somehow or another I went over the cap last sim despite not making any moves other than minor league deals.... So I'm offering Edwin Pyburn up for pretty much free. I'll take a bottom feeder prospect just to make it a "trade" but it can be your worst prospect. Pyburn isn't terrible. Isn't great. He'...

I was just about to do this feature today - great job! Sorry about that. I knew it used to be done from time to time in this league and back in the ORB2 and GUBA.

Re: 2006, Sim #1 Chatter
Whitley's hit streak ended at 35, securing Aguilar's record for a little while longer.
Though, would Whitley's record really have counted considering it was over the course of 2 seasons.....?

Is this the year Baltimore's reign on the division ends? No heh! A lot of the so-called "bottom teams" made quite a few moves this off-season.
