... He must be getting close to retirement now? You may be able to slice a few LPs off his wages as not many folk will be willing to pay large sums for a one...
I was disappointed with the 3-6 start, but in retro-spect I was pleased with some aspects of my batting, with the performance of new catcher Varitek, and some...
David, I doubt you did as bad as I used to do against Baltimore!?! They consistently put 20+ runs on my Royals. In one game they scored 27 ... So, it wasn't...
Rob, I was amazed how quickly you have reduced your wages while I am having difficulty controlling the them. If I do not watch out I will have to pay the...
... A good start from Baltimore with some indifferent personal performances mixed in. Low on decent back ups now as each year people up their wages and we have...
... Yeah, but I've taken a fairly big risk to do it - basically releasing my best pitcher and best batter on consecutive weeks. I'm hoping that I have enough...

... I'd keep him, unless I really didn't have room on my roster for all the young talent, but I doubt you had that good a draft. I think it helps to have a...
Lets get the facts and figures out the way: Four pitchers up in class and one pitcher down in class. One 9+ to 10* and one 9* to 8*. One batter up in class, 9*...
