Same for Sheltown, 2nd in the AL in ERA. 12th in runs scored.
I think 11th in bullpen ERA may be a contributing factor as well....

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

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.

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.

Not when your top 15 prospects are off limits, of course not.

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.


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.

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. :lol:

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

there is nothing in FA for OF it seems outside of AA

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.

Seemed pretty awful in that title year. Maybe he was a glue guy!

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.

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!
