Rodriguez actually looks like a pretty good comp for ratings v LHP. He's got a .776 career OPS v LHP. So I will concede that it's possible that Lacaze can maintain a .700 OPS in the MBBA, but that's assuming no lumps. I think that's reasonable. If he goes like you think he may, he's a solid MBBA pl...

How often do you judge careers on 94 ABs? I stand by the .650-.700 OPS v. LHBs in the MBBA and the fact that his glove and legs will be impossible to adequately replace with a platoon option. I agree with the glove and legs part. Will be interesting to see if he improves against lefties his final 2...

I'll search the MBBA CFs later, but this guy has a .713 OPS against EBA pitching this year. He's absolutely a platoon bat in the MBBA. What about his defense? Isn't it good enough to ignore the platoon? Sure, he'll be sub 100 OPS+ wise, but if he's bring good or better defense, do you live with it ...

Yeah, I know we still have a way to go. His numbers are off the charts though and I wanted to bring some attention to it. Without doing a ton of research, I'd say if he keeps it up for the next 2 years, I'd think he has a chance to be an All-Star. Maybe not perennial, but a couple. Again, it could b...

Interesting.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I may continue to do it then. Tweet out my team news, maybe important things that happened during the sim. Easy PP's I can do from my phone. If in anyone wants to get back into it, my league handle is MBMWA_parispats. EDIT: Won't be posting nonsense. Well, not random nonsense. It'll be league nonsen...

Do tweets still get you PP's? I only ask because other teams I found don't seem to do it often or haven't very recently. I started one up and followed all the league teams I could find. Also, if so, should I use #mbba or #mbwba? I used both plus #eba just in case, but figured it was written in the c...

Does a players scouting report change once they jump to the MBBA? For example, now it says he's a star but is that taking into account he's in the EBA? Will it change to saying "he could be a regular contributor" or "solid player" instead of becoming a star once he makes the jump?

Looking at Salazer's MBBA, who was a great EBA player, the slash I predicted probably isn't too far off. AVG probably not as high as I'd think but probably 50-100 points lower OPS wise. My guess anyway.

I hadn't really thought of that. I just meant in general his contact ability isn't stellar. Its good and sure he will put up gawdy numbers in the EBA but over in the big leagues it'll be a different story. Still, he will be a valuable player and he will 100% for sure get poached as soon as he is el...

Yeah, I guess that's what he would be in the big leagues, maybe a 4 tool. I see that. But right now in the EBA, he is a 5 tool.

Is Jean-Luc 'Wall' Lacaze having the greatest season in EBA history? Looking at his numbers and how dominant he has been this season as a complete player, I think its hard to dispute that he isn't. Through 93 games, he has a hefty .356/.467/.656 batting line with 26 HR's and 75 RBI's to go along wit...

Don't know too of many Nats fans. That would be awesome.

Welcome anyway...

Thanks. lol

And yeah, huge. Trust me, I had SEA, DET, and TOR fans in my other league rooting against my boys a couple days ago. haha

I feel like the parade of roses would not end well here.

Or.. what if California is stealing city names from Maryland?

Nobody is sure why Matthaus Hoffmann Jr. decided to make a General Manager (GM) change just after the seasons midpoint. With the Paris Patriots in 1st place, and probably the best team in the EBA, assistant GM Rick Boulton seemed to be doing just fine. The roster was a good mix of EBA and MBBA veter...

Sounds good. Thanks guys.
