ok

robusklahann - I think I might pull Kobayashi from the ClA spot in HR and add him to SuA with Flynn and Rhodes to maximize innings for my three best RPs. Ueno can close imo. Thoughts?

SP Ivan Torcato and CF Wilfredo Gonzales will re-sign LTCs in $. Thats big - otherwise I would have considered breaking the team apart after this season. Already letting Manny Christensen and Chris Offerman go to FA.... and Hootie is retiring, maybe. Didn't need two key players departing too.

I would probably have Flynn close, available in the 8th, not set to save situations only...  Ueno could work though.  You have 3 stud RPs and Flynn, Kobayashi and Rhodes can both go a while.  If it was me though, I would try to be getting as many innings possible to the right people since your bullpen is stud or scrub.  I would actually put Rhodes in the LrA role at 45/60 available any, Kobayashi in SuA at 35/40 available in the 6th, Flynn at ClA available in the 8th at 30/35 non-SSO.  Set all of the them for a pull of 1.  Put Brownson, Moore and Ueno at SuB, Canseco at LrB and demote Nation to AAA because you don't need 13 pitchers, he sucks, and you have a pitcher friendly park.  That is probably your best setup for getting the IP to the right people.

On second thought, you are my main competition in the AL, so don't do any of that.

I was still holding out a glimmer of hope, but the 49ers are officially awful.  Losing to the Panthers is inexcusable.

Even though he got 4 INTs, DeAngelo Hall still sucks.  Dude blows his coverage assignment way too often taking chances.  He also couldn't tackle breum.

Thanks.... I'm just put my spring training invites down to the minors and will try the two approaches over the next 5 st games.... but at lower pc than usual.

Besides, it's clearly not that difficult to intercept a Jay Cutler pass.

Yo DH.

I believe it involves the offense not going into hibernation in October.
