I have sort of gambled with the expos in MLB4 trying to maximise the chances of the current team winning even if that means getting rid of talented rookies to...
... re Rafael Santana in KC. He was a starter at RF in the All Star Game wasn't he! ... He was the best player on the best team in the AL for many seasons. ...
... overvalued I'll ignore him until he is better value, by which time I find he has gone! ... very bad selections in the past. I'd say there are 3 types of...
Well after playing the full 27 friendly games the Rangers ended up 14- 13 with a +2 runs for/against. So not sure if we're ready to improve or are around .500...
... Most of them come into this category for me. Anything 10* under 60, anything 9* under 50, anything 8* under 40, anything 7* under 30 - I'll quite happily...
Interesting :-) Rob and I have basically the same approach on free agents!! I also will happily cut players (who are not performing) who are demanding too much...
Still no idea which team I'm getting. Apparently I'll not find out until the next turn runs in a couple of weeks. Here's the wish-list, for those in MLB6, who...
Welcome to MLB 6 Bobby. Of the 3 leagues I've played in it's definately my favourite. There's a good group of players and a brilliant newsletter to keep you up...
Begs the question, do you play all your regulars, or like me routinely rest
your top players and play everyone else, trying out new starters etc? (Hence
my...
Thanks Alan. I've had a look at GBSPN, and it looks as though there's a good balance in the league. There doesn't appear to be any behemoths eg. Orioles MLB1,...
Anyone out there in MLB7? Fancy submitting email reports to GBSPN? The latest we have is Season 7 Week 18, and I suspect a bit more has happened since then. ...
... I generally put my projected lineup for the new season in, on the basis that if I then forget to submit orders the following turn (for whatever reason) I'm...
... The other point to this is, I don't think you can fairly evaluate more than one rookie/young player at a time (batter, that is) because if you want him to...
Hi David, You could try the Red Sox in MLB5. I think somebody tried them earlier this season, but I find it hard to believe that they are managed. A brief...
Welcome to the MLB6 I don't think you are going to be as like as Mr Gamble when he recently got the helm of the Tigers. I would assume that the Cubs coach is...
... This would make me suspicious that they have a coach, surely Danny wouldn't put in a computer coach routine that did this sort of thing? I would suspect an...
... Well if you get the Dodgers I'm quitting as the bugger has beaten me twice in World Series already :) Actually if you get put into the NL west you are...
... routinely rest your top players and play everyone else, trying out new starters etc? (Hence my regular god-awful record in pre-season around all leagues)...
All fatigue gets cleared in _after_ Week 0 though so you don't have to worry
about resting players. Personally I always audition other starters in the
rotation...
Normally I'd agree with you. However, the same guy's been in charge since season 3 and he's done next to nothing to the team since season 4... Bit of an...
Oh great. If I get an NL team then I either face my MLB2 scenario (finish 2nd and try to find a way past the Red Sox) or my MLB5 scenario (get in the playoffs...
... great. If I get an NL team then I either face my ... What do you think it's like trying to find a way past the Red Sox _and_ Yankees! Seriously though I...
I agree with Rob though, since generally I inherit uncoached teams with a fair number but not huge LPs (they normally need to be boosted to 100 by the ...
That's a fair point. The only question is, how many seasons and how much dosh does he need to turn an average team into a powerhouse? I fancy just about ...
It seems like the Red Sox are a popular and successful team in a number of leagues. The MLB3 version regularly was there or thereabouts with 100+ wins and a...
We're now the Leeds Utd of MLB2. We made our dash for glory. We failed. Everybody's for sale. The wholesale gutting of the Yankees will now commence. Come...
Funny how the original title of this post has come together in an unexpected fashion! The Red Sox in MLB7 were available, and they are now mine!!! I'll get the...
I honestly thought that my Tigers had turned the corner at the end of last season. I was really pretty excited about our chances this season and what happens?...
