Sometimes it's important to take a picture, because it lasts longer. Jacksonville third baseman Pepe Aragon , just 20 years old, is no doubt snapping dozens of pictures of his start to August and framing them somewhere in his place, because if they gave awards for Player of the Half-Month, he'd be a...

One more bump for Gonzales and Marroquin gone.

The Jacksonville Hurricanes sent two players out of town this week. Juan Marroquin got his wish to be traded to a contender, swapped to Charlotte for an outfield prospect. And Luis Gonzales, shortly after being added to the trade block, was traded to Valencia for relief pitcher Luke Sneddon. "We had...

Jacksonville Receives:

RP Luke Seddon

Valencia Receives:

C Luis Gonzáles

Please place Gonzáles in both lineups as starting catcher. Unable to submit in-game because owner is a doo-doo head.

Confirmed.

Charlotte receives:

SP Juan Marroquin


Jacksonville receives:

OF Thomas Blanchard (R)


Push Blanchard to SA Paraiso.

BTW, neither of the two trades are doable in game.

In response, activate Hayden Bennion and put him into Marroquin's rotation spot. Generate a bullpen.

Confirmed. Sim instructions in next trade report.

Glad to see this happen!

Same. I wasn't gonna let him wiggle out of the $33/3 at the end of this one. For all I know he won't be worth it, but I'll take my chances on a guy this good.

Bumping for a couple additions to the list and Chavez being gone.

The Jacksonville Hurricanes today announced that they have re-signed staff ace Bob Anderson to a six year extension with no opt outs, options, or chicanery that will carry him through the 2064 season. Rated by independent analysts as the #2 pitcher in the BBA, Anderson has placed in the top three in...

Not sure how much Marroquin is going to cash in—didn’t he just clear waivers?

I dunno. If nobody else is paying the guy I'm gonna - though probably a little creatively.

Welp, this answers my question in your other post. Marroquin’s stuff lumping to 8 is what kept me away.

Fair enough, but it's hard to do better than him as a rental, which he almost certainly is.

The Jacksonville Hurricanes abruptly put several players on waivers this week, including Daniel Pepper, Pablo Lara, cleanup hitter Pedro Hozven and starting pitcher Juan Marroquin . Hozven was claimed by Boise, but the rest passed through waivers without a hitch. It was a bit of a surprise, consider...

With the amount of turmoil that's gone on in the Bold City this season, you'd think the team was on pace to lose 125 games and fold. Jacksonville has waived some of their better players, traded their cleanup hitter, had four or five new starters and traded one of the top five pitchers in baseball. H...

The main reason we switch sooner rather than later is and has always been recruiting. So, do we attract GM's because we have a new version? Or because we are the best OOTP league on the planet, regardless of version? Both. People buying the new version are motivated to join a league like ours.

Free falling.

Bumping for a couple additions to the list and Chavez being gone.

Confirmed. Call up Kevin Shepard and generate a bullpen. Put Zheng into AAA and I’ll figure out Gonzales later.

Bumping for the fact that I've still given up on this year despite being .500 - come and get it.

Every time I think I'm out, they just keep me out. Hey we agree! 3% Playoff odds.

Most players are gone, but here's a couple left still: LF Natsume Kondo : Superb platoon outfielder. His .873 OPS against lefties this year is more or less typical. Every contender needs a guy like this. Looking to take a flier on a teenage, 40-level type pitching prospect. LF/1B Pablo Lara : Consi...
