Good thing I have some pitching depth... Appears injuries will help me in making my roster decisions.

[aaronweiner]

Went 9-4 despite no export. This might be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Raring and ready for this season. Previews coming tomorrow morning I think.

[trmmilwwi]

Tested some of the unknowns going into ST sim #2 and found a few answers. Looking forward to opening day 2018! It seems like it took us 730 days to finish 2017!!

Glad no one got injured as I was going to test a bunch of no name guys this sim and failed to hit the export button. Going to attempt to churn up some articles today and a preview.

With all of those pitching injuries, sure looks like it is a good thing I signed that guy back......
