Oh and he expects to be in the starting lineup every day 
Small rant aside, I've never been closer to my players than I am right now by playing manager only mode. Even if these aren't the players that I would choose, I'm enjoying the improbable successes of Luis Tererro and Jarrod Dyson's 20 game hitting streak. We might be 24.5 games out heading into mid-August but this is the most fun losing I've ever had. |
Tell me about it...in 1991 my GM got fleeced big time. That didn't upset me at all because things like that happen but oh man did the challenge factor increase tenfold lol.
He traded a 24 year old Larry Walker (4 and a half stars) who was tops of the NL in batting avg at .370 at the time of the trade (all star break) and he was really clutch. So he sent Walker, Barry Jones and $220 000 to the Cubs for....Russ McGinnis.
Only other non injury related move he did was signing Gerald Perry who was released earlier in the year, and sent Andres Galarraga down to make room for him. Galarraga was hitting like .175 so I can understand the move.
Fun times.
