Lost my best pitcher last sim. Lost my best OFer this sim. Last place, here I come!

Are you kidding me? Now I have Blanco and Pagan out for 6 weeks and 3 weeks respectively. Every outfielder on the 25 man roster opening day has been hit with injuries totalling over 4 weeks. Pence was hit twice with multiple month injuries.
LOL. Pirates & Cardinals play 23 inning barn burner on 8/13 (will link when site updates). Polanco and Rodriguez both go 5 for 12.
Not surprising that my pitching staff was a wreck for the rest of the sim.
All my extensions done. Mostly got guys reduced a bit or held, renting Burnett for another year for a fraction of his 2015 price just in case something goes wrong. Still, payroll next year is the same as payroll for 15 even though I lose Walker and Bastardo. I have the depth to deal with the Walker loss but I'm going to have to pay to bolster the relief crew.

It's quite the bitter pill to swallow. Someone pat me on the back and tell me it will be alright...anyone?
Edit: And he's owed 69 million after this year according to my books.

Still better than the Scherzer deal. Holy shit. I almost fainted when I saw what he makes at the end of his deal.

Yeah but he'll be injured most of next year! I was saying when he comes off the injury...
Coming off injury Gomes went 0-22 over 6 games. 1 RBI.
I should have listened to eznark about rehab assignments. I did manage 3-3 still.
I actually think Michael Bourn had a longer injury and came back the week before Gomes and picked up right where he left off. Batting .290, he has brought some life back to CF for me.
He is playing well above his expected level.

Oh, I see what you meant. And to top it all off, his injury comes on the heels of me firing my team trainer earlier in the year and replacing him with this guy:
Naturally he is legendary in preventing leg injuries, lol. Cruel game!

I wish I could find that video about Mauer being a vagina on Youtube but alas.
Wait, is that by the guy that used to do the Chilly Report?
This?

After a decent couple of weeks Chris Archer is now NOT hot. 0-2 with a 19.89 ERA in 6.1 innings in his last two starts lol. Cahill got out of his slump though.
My bullpen is trash and Nicasio is playing horrible.

...well, it's downloading an update again. We'll see what happens.
All working. I must've screwed something up when trying it the first time, doing too many things at once.

I made an in game list awhile back for tracking all the first round picks, figured I'd post an update for those curious. I probably should've taken the shot from in the game so you could see the injuries. 6 of the first 30 picks in the draft are currently hurt.
Riley Ferrell, will he be awesome or will he be what my scout thinks? Current prognosis: my scout is right.

Any way to add in age and minor league level to that list?

Hey eznark, just a thought but when we get close to the end of August can we stop the sim on the last day of August? I figure not everyone knows the whole thing where if a guy isn't on your roster before September 1st he can't play in the playoffs (unless he was on the major league DL prior) and so some people might want to shift things around before the expansion. I know I tend to do it with top prospects in my off line leagues.

40 man roster?
Purple Cheeto

No. A guy has to be on the 25 man roster BEFORE September first, otherwise he can not be added to the playoff roster. The only exception is if a guy is on the active roster DL and he doesn't come off until after September first he is still eligible for the playoff roster.

Oh! Time to make some changes.
Guess it doesn't matter if I don't make the playoffs though.
