When I opened up my team, I had an interesting reaction. Love to hear yours.

Hey. Did we switch to relative ratings along with the switch to 25?

Well, that's a fun finish.

Secured a winning record. Have to say: did not see that coming in April.

BTW, this led me to the career HR list. Did anyone else know that Felix Roman has a real chance at Sadaru Oh? Because I didn't.

So if Calgary loses one more game something will happen that hasn’t happened in either league since 2046: no team will win 100 games in the Jl.

And then there’s gaining an additional year of service time

That is WAY less fun than all of the very valid reasons I just gave that are not that very good and possibly realized point.

You think Marcus will ever put in a players union?

Jacksonville called up a number of players expected to contribute next year this week, but one of them was not Steve Holcombe , unquestionably the team's top prospect and one of the top 50 overall prospects in the minor leagues. It can't be his production in AAA, since Holcombe posted absolutely inc...

Si-dao Yong had to wait until Hayden Bennion was injured to get his spot in the rotation. He has done more with it than anyone could have imagined. The 24-year old rookie righty hurler won his first Pitcher of the Month Award in August, posting stellar numbers in what the team hopes is the beginnin...

The Jacksonville Hurricanes wasted no time re-signing their biggest acquisition from trade season, penning relief pitcher Luke Seddon to a three-year deal that will effectively cancel out his arbitration years. The reliever was projected to make $1.8 million in arbitration next year and around $7.2 ...

This huge crop of corner outfielders from the 2057 draft are starting to make an impact and making it difficult to be a veteran corner OF.

Yeah, I looked back through the draft after that and was like "whoa, there were a lot of good guys available in the fifth round." I took Juan Orquiz there.

Jacksonville called up three players expected to be on the roster next season as rosters expanded this week: RF Shu-yaan Zheng , 1B Alfonso Martinez , and left handed pitcher Dave Hill . The three players have vastly different stories as to how they became Hurricanes, but each of them is likely to b...

What's the record for number of teams that a player has been with in a season? Yikes. Don't know, but this deal is depressing. Guy signed an extension already for $6.6 million per, making him possibly the best bargain in the BBA for the next three years. Less depressing if he didn't go to Charm Cit...

Well, it's your own fault. In a day and age where I can't type the words "olive oil" into my computer without getting forty seven ads for Bertolli, you're repeatedly shouting into cyberspace "f--- your game and all your new editions." The fact that the game f---s you back is just a matter of the Inf...

The other thing to look for is whether he gets enough PAs for that $4M bonus.

Probably happens this year. I'm just gonna let him play for now.

Perhaps not next year, especially if he keeps lumping.

Daniel Pepper earned his 3000th hit on August 23rd, 2058, hitting a game-winning single in the top of the 11th inning to bring the Jacksonville Hurricanes to a 66-66 record. Pepper is one of the all-time greatest players in the history of the BBA by any objective measure; he has more career wins ab...

So, you might be wondering: what on Earth would possess the Jacksonville Hurricanes to simply ship starting catcher Luis Gonzales, one of the best defensive players in the BBA, to Valencia for a relief pitcher? A few reasons surely come to mind. ======================================================...

Gosh darnit Aldo better be a HoFer.

Got my vote, but a lot of people won't vote for him. Whereas there is absolutely no chance Pepper doesn't make it.

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...
