Urd's 23rd pick would be a nice consolation prize if bret won't sign Roosevelt to give me his #18...
I'm not going after any pitchers so what does that tell you...
That you were perfectly content with last year's 5+ ERA?
yeah and with the exception of 1 guy, everyone that caused it to be that high is no longer on my team...a lot of young pitchers coming up this year.  3 so far maybe 1-2 more.

still cant score in nhl.

i think in the attempt to make nba and nhl fancy they have made the combination of buttons you have to press/move out of my skill set. i miss atari.
Yeah... I had similar thoughts...... you'll pick it up.

It's difficult because you skate and aim the shot with the same joystick.

nhl is really streaky.  The best way to score is to come in odd man rush, make a pass, stickhandle to the forehand and aim for a corner, or aim low and go for a rebound.  The best offense I can get to work is behind the net for when you are in the zone.

I'd play Jackson at CF, Chang at 2B and Aaron at 3B before I would play Chang at CF.
good point. I really haven't looked at what I will do once Gonzales is gone - I just know I have filler for the moment. Its not like his fielding attributes were that exceptional in the first place... the big loss will come from his bat and his walks.

If I have to keep Keller I won't be upset. I might shorten the starting pitchcounts for Torcato and Duran and go with a 4 man rotation since I have high durability talented RPs in Keller, Carasone, Elcano, Hawkins, and now Kim. It would be a first for me... so I don't know
I only use a 5 man rotation in one world...  it isn't that bad if you have the DUR/STA ratings to do it.

Sounds like a pretty extreme tilt to get a win.

Doubtful...

Chuck has probably fielded like the 10 best fielding teams in the history of HBD.

I just realized that bret went 82-80 last year despite giving up ~140 more runs than he scored. I knew there was a catch!

My AA pitching staff may have more talent than my ML pitching staff.

No. That course was titled 'how to spend taxpayer money on weekend getaways'
