SIM COMPLETE - 1987 - Free Agency 4

[Andrew]

I think the schedule will change once the Spring Training schedule goes up. I don't think what you see now is what we'll actually play.

But I could be wrong.

Yeah I import our custom schedule during pre-season. The current schedule is not accurate.

Diesel needs to see his schedule in advance because he has to make arrangements for the bus to pick up Gonzalez and Chavaragga from the home... gotta plan those starts around BINGO night.

The two veteran pitchers have invited recent free-agent signing Alan Starr to attend the Bingo nights as well.

Alan Starr. Talk about a guy that caught on late in his career. Cool to see him still kicking around the league.

Hopefully he can be a mentor to top prospect Mike Murdock. Plus, a switch hitter off the bench is useful.

I signed a few scrappy pitchers to round out my pitching staff (bullpen included) and despite them not being top tier pitchers, my staff is definitely better than last year. Hopefully, that means some good.

Denver might have a new promotion on Opening Day. A bunch of rookies all over the field.

Seltzer (DH/1B), Al-Sadat (2B), Browning (LF), Borkholder (C), Higgins (UTI).

I'd love to have Higgins back :(

The curse that continues...if you had not made that trade, you wouldn't be locked into the contract that is Tommy Lang...

It wasn't a bad trade...Higgins is the only guy that turned out to be good, and McNeilage and Lang were clutch for me that season. The main problem is that Lang turned into a pussy fuck after said season.

Since someday he'll wear my hat in the HOF... I should comment... Good Luck to Wilton Harcourt in Baltimore. I think he'll hit a ton of bombs in that bandbox if he stays healthy.

Definately puts Baltimore in the conversation in that division... still could use some pitching though.

The guy had three good seasons in Virginia...all of which were for a non-contending team. I think if Harcourt makes the playoffs with Baltimore once or twice, has a good year every season of this contract, he will be wearing orange and blue in the hall.

That division is so wide-open that a deal like this might make Baltimore the front-runner.

I didn't see Tesina on the FA list.


I also saw that Simmonds moved to Virginia and the guy who wasn't getting traded this year got traded.

(A) He had 4 good seasons as a Colonials. He started his career with Virginia.

(B) He'll play two years in Baltimore tops

(C) I have the tie-breaker vote on the HOF committee.

1. That .215 season is hardly HOF worthy. And yes, he did start his career in Virginia,

2. You may be right here. Is that last year an option? But he is only 35. Latham was mashing this season at 40.

3. Touche. I guess it might take a little more to swing the vote...if Baltimore wins a title behind Harcourt's bat...no way he doesn't go in as a Bulldog.

[Delandis]

if Baltimore wins a title behind Harcourt's bat

LOL. Win a title? We are lucky to make the playoffs with our squad. Hell I don't even have center fielder yet.

[Clay]

(A) .215 in a season where BA's were low when power numbers were high in many cases.

(B) Last year is optional, but $27.5 for a 37 year old???

(C) Baltimore needs pitching to win a title. They should make a playoff with him on their team, but they'll need to add pieces to win a title.
