"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology."

I get the Sim Complete one, but I don't get any emails on PMs (which is a huge deal...luckily I hit the board constantly) and I don't know if other users can send me emails or not.

You'll learn. If Rowe was just consistently mediocre he would have saved me a lot of wishin' and hopin'...

I noticed I haven't been receiving email from the board at all, but I don't have anything from you in my spam folder.

I was SHOCKED to see that you put Dumont in the big leagues right away. His control is really, really bad right now. Perhaps you're thinking it'll develop faster at the big league level? Yeah. I mean, I have no clue really ...but he comes to Carolina with a 2.93 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in AAA already, th...

So Ferrero gets his asterisk, but I was surprised to see his name among first-timers. He's a career .293/.383/.449 hitter averaging 20 HR and 84 RBI per 162 games. That's primo for a catcher. The he had these two years with Des Moines: 1998: .309/.406/.481, 20 HR, 79 RBI 1999: .343/.414/.546, 28 HR,...

Possible reps for Carolina (since I know none of my guys are getting voted in):

C Matais Ferrero
maybe CF Ad Collins
MR Rene Arocha
MR Frank Bateman (if you look at FIP)

ugh...

Hmmm...perhaps I am misunderstanding exactly what your question is, but I will take a crack at it. If a guy has two pitches, he should be a reliever, because the second time through the lineup, players hit them better than if they have more pitches to mix in. If a guy has more than two pitches and ...

I had read pretty much the opposite on the forum, that a SP set to MR did not get the slight increase in stuff if he was used as a starter. But if you want to go with a rotation of 5 MR's go for it. Well, technically they wouldn't be MRs...they would be SPs set to MR if it gained them an extra poin...
