Nah, I wondered why your top 15 prospects were off limits.

Tampa getting terrorized by injuries the last few sims..

I think 11th in bullpen ERA may be a contributing factor as well....shel311 wrote:Same for Sheltown, 2nd in the AL in ERA. 12th in runs scored.Uuaww wrote:seeing how awful my offense exactly was... I am 2nd in the NL in ERA
But I feel the pain, technically 2nd in the AL in team ERA, and 13th in runs scored, losing Fuji isn't going to help. This year's Tampa team will most likely be the ugliest postseason offense in a long time

So glad they wait until the final month of the season...Cnasty wrote:Tampa getting terrorized by injuries the last few sims..

you were never gonna trade me marsh anyways... plus the issue isn't with trading you a blue, its that if I trade you a blue prospect he will inevitably end up on Boston... and I can't have that!!!!

Richmond and Tampa getting those last WC spots is impressive with what they have dealt with the last month or. Philly has been beat up as well.dusters06 wrote:This year's Tampa team will most likely be the ugliest postseason offense in a long time

I like to think that Bradley O'Higgins on Philly's team is the son of my favorite OOTP player of all time, HOFer Bill O'Higgins.

I forgot which season it was, but i got hit hard by injuries late, and I think i had 4-5 guys in my playoff lineup with an overall rating of 20.dusters06 wrote:This year's Tampa team will most likely be the ugliest postseason offense in a long time
It was the year I played OCD in the 1st round I think.

Banshee O'Higgins was in Hartford that season, 2023. Not much to do in Hartford I'd imagine, maybe it checks out.Cnasty wrote:I like to think that Bradley O'Higgins on Philly's team is the son of my favorite OOTP player of all time, HOFer Bill O'Higgins.
Father O'Higgy hit 28 homers and a league leading 123 RBI in 157 games, and in true O'Higgy fashion, finished the season with a .7 WAR.

Brian Davis is 36 and wants $9 mil a year for 3 years. hopefully I can offer him something like $10 mil for 1 year. There are absolutely no CF's in upcoming free agency and I might have to over pay for him

I remember brian davis... he was on my team ages ago and couldn't give him away when a medium high contact CF were dime a dozen... funny how the league changes.

You traded him to me and he had a couple stints with us and was instrumental in our title run. He comes back to Boston every now and again when we get the championship team back together.Uuaww wrote: I remember brian davis... he was on my team ages ago and couldn't give him away when a medium high contact CF were dime a dozen... funny how the league changes.

Was he?Cnasty wrote: and was instrumental in our title run.
Seemed pretty awful in that title year. Maybe he was a glue guy!
Re: 2048 Season Thread: White Men Can Jump??!
Yeah he's had a great 3 years with us, played great defensive and has been a decent hitter, with this season being his best at the plate.Uuaww wrote:there is nothing in FA for OF it seems outside of AAqazhby wrote:Brian Davis is 36 and wants $9 mil a year for 3 years. hopefully I can offer him something like $10 mil for 1 year.

Was a rough sim for the Greeks as I am stupid and did not verify export tracker so nothing went through. Leading off P'O and Kamimura hitting 3rd is not great in the heat of a playoff run so I guess happy to go 2-4 lol. Greeks hanging on and fighting for dear life for this playoff spot

His flexibility to play CF and RF when we had some injuries was key. He was a passion player!shel311 wrote:Was he?Cnasty wrote: and was instrumental in our title run.
