On the Diamond Vol. 8 1997

[bschr682]

Pitcher of the sim:
SP Ted Shaw
0-2 with a 3.29 ERA. Its a sad thing when thats my best pitcher this sim.

Batter of the sim:
2B Bernard Maselli
.462 AVG with an OPS over 1.200? nice....

Another losing sim and we come to the trade deadline. Inside sources say that just about everyone on the team is available at this point. Especially interesting is the rumor that SP Paul Kimzey is on the block. Kimzey has been the best pitcher California has had over the last few seasons but with the team this far out of contention the GM has seen fit to try and flip Kimzey for some youngsters.

Nice sim by Maselli. I'd love to trade for Kimzey if I had room for another starter.

keep that in mind this offseason. I have 3 or 4 youngsters i plan on bringing up next year so my older guys like Kimzey and Machiavelli can be traded away.
