Sox lose 2-1 in Wildcard Round.

Giants win the 2024 World Series.

The Game · 11-26-2023, 07:48 AM

Good score this season.

payroll went up slightly.

Hope to accomplish all of JR's goals.

New contract for me.

Not offering arbitration to Brantly, Garneau or Olt. I will offer them minor league deals as I plan on having around 7-12 players at Charlotte not on the 40.

The Game · 11-26-2023, 07:58 AM

87-75 .537 16 GB 2nd ALWC

Although we faded at the end, we had a good season overall. We went 1-2 in the playoffs.

Many things to look forward to in 2025, although some changes need to be made.

I am looking at bringing in a top prospect 1b, a veteran DH, 2 relief pitchers, 1 from each side and a few top prospects.

No upcoming FA's will return in 2025.

The Game · 11-26-2023, 08:02 AM

Very happy with Belle, Robinson, Frazier, Valentin, Malone, Hernandez, Wynn, Perez, Wilhelm & Kaat.

Seaver is asking for more then I want to pay plus I have both Lyons & Dotson ready.

White Sox sign Sp Jaime Navarro, Cf Emilio Bonifacio & SP Derek Holland to minor league deals.

JR raised the Team budget but lowered Scouting budget

The Game · 11-27-2023, 03:43 AM

Padres sign Sp Tom Seaver to a 1 yr deal.

The Game · 11-27-2023, 03:45 AM

We are predicted to finish under .500 and miss the playoffs.

Still no Top 20 prospect.

2nd to last highest payroll.

Albert Belle is the 8th highest paid player.

The Game · 11-27-2023, 03:55 AM

Hoping that the prediction is wrong. Hoping Thome adds stability to the 4 hole behind Belle. Belle & Thome could hit 100 HR between them. Add a solid rookie 1b in Bonura, and 2 solid SP in Dotson & Lyons I think we can be good. Pall & Radinsky should help the pen.

I have taken control of certain aspects of the lineup and pen. I told MGR Terry Bevington to hit Bonura 2nd, Belle 3rd & Thome 4th. Also for Wilhelm to stay as the CL. Also he wanted to bench Frazier vs RHP.

We do have a good amount of $$ available for extensions. Several of the players in waiting, are more for 2027 vs 2026, so I might look at re-signing several players for 1-2 yrs.

I might fail at all of JR's goals this year.

The Game · 11-27-2023, 03:59 AM

*Cass Michaels was placed at Charlotte & RP Jhonny Nunez was placed on the OD roster.

Only 3 FA after the season. I plan on re-signing Thome. Not sure about Hernandez and doubtful on Kaat. Arbitration could lead to us getting rid of 5-6 P.
