Byron Buxton is injured for the umpteenth time.

That's the only reason I let him go. It's ALWAYS SOMETHING...usually some niggling little nothing too.

Not terribly happy wth Gallo right now. Has a projected -8 WAR for the year.

Thanks for taking that bullet!

That was an unexpectedly good sim. Despite all the errors at 1B.

Herbert Iser is now up to 60 defensive rating at first base, to go with his 70 at catcher and he finally appears to be destroying the ball at the bigs. My first base problem may be solved!

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Just a heads up, looks like Brent's wife gave birth tonight. Congrats Brent!

Thanks guys. She'll get used to demoting players to AA in no time.
Hopefully I'll be able to sim tomorrow night when we go back home.

glad we dodged that Chapman bullet.

Hell of a week from Joey Gallo. Guess that signing is looking better now.

Wish this game would let me put a hit out on Peguero.

Ponce's career ERA+ -

2018 - 157 (3 starts)
2019 - 153
2020 - 111
2021 - 84
2022 - 66

At least Lincecum was solid for 5 seasons before he turned to shit. I more or less got 2.

Very relieved that I never extended this guy.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

I get sad when I look at the numbers Felix is putting up in his AAA "Rehab" assignment.

Also my team is winning almost 70% of the time so far and the reigning MVP has been my worst hitter.

[Dmncnby2k9]

if another losing week, mets might consider some major trades

 

[acheron_xl]

Jose Figueroa was the #1 prospect in GOBL for all of a month. Now he's in the show!

And let's see how Ponce gets on in Fresno...

 

[CosmicQueso]

Another UCL! I'm cursed! Holy shit!

 

[synchronicity]

Brent, would you mind shopping

SS Trenton Nash (Min)

and if no one else is shopping anyone this sim or has any objections to a second shop, I'd also like to shop

P Moises Gomez (Min)


Of course, if there is any interest from any human players, I'm happy to talk turkey too.

Thanks.

Nothing for Nash.

Gomez could return

White Sox - Mat Latos - SP
White Sox - Yoenis Cespedes - CF
Yankees - Aaron Judge - LF
Padres - Josmil Pinto - C
Padres - Eric Hosmer - 1B

 

[acheron_xl]

Brent, might you shop Willy Adames for me at your convenience, please?

 

[synchronicity]

Nothing for Nash.

Gomez could return

Thanks for the shop, but what a lovely pile of scrap.

Assuming that means all my UCLs are safe. If only for today.

How's being a pops treating you?

 

[chairon]

Disastrous start to the season has cost Gibbons his job. Wouldn't give up control and had some guys in the wrong roles. Curious to see who I can get to come in and turn this around, should be better than this.

Such a fun league, thanks for maintaining!

 

[Shalashaska]

Welp, Gray is out for the bulk of the year after an already slow start for the season. Gonna be another long year. And still 2 more until I get some salary relief.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

I've only had like 3 losses since Chapman and my catcher got hurt two sims ago. Now that I put them on the DL and replaced them we'll start losing again.

[ph33nix]

fuck

That's two of my top rotation guys out ;_;

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Brent if you get a chance can you try shopping around DJ Peterson?

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

Another good sim. I'm leading the AL in defense, which has really paid off. Allred has been outstanding in CF, shouldn't have wasted him in LF last year. Also leading the league in SBs, which is something I wanted to be aggressive with. I'm liking my rotation better this year and my bullpen has been pretty good. Would have liked to been able to sign a closer, but I'm piecing it together. Wanted to move Moore to the pen, possibly to close, but he's been my best starter.

This might be my best shot this season. I don't think I can bring back Machado. He wants to test the market and I'm nervous about spending big on a guy who's injury status is wrecked. There's just not an impact bat that could take his spot.

Better choices than I anticipated. Will almost certainly make a move when I get home from work.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Thanks. Didn't expect to get any offers. Can I get Jose Quintana?

 

[acheron_xl]

Ok, I think I'll move Adames for Winker. That'll buy Figueroa more time to cook in the minors, and it should please the fans.
