Based on the preseason predictions, I'd say it's entirely possible. Also, on the topic of preseason predictions... The AL Central, woof

ohhhh where am i?

Todd Walker should get to 300 wins barring a major injury or a complete ratings collapse in the next couple years... Lehman's 333 is probably a stretch tho as he'd need 59 more wins which would be like 4 seasons of 15 wins

incredible career

Walker sitting at 274 wont happen this year unless he just has an insane season at 42.

Mike Hoffman sitting at 248 at the age of 35 has an outside shot at the Lehman record...but he is playing for Cookeville this year

Someone will eventually put together a deal I can't refuse!

Hey, qazhby. Suck it up buddy.

It only hurts for a moment. Hoffman, Kikuchi. Some solid pitching there.

I have never understood this mindset. Get the best deal you can and build your team. If you are so worried about the other division teams you are already losing

agreed.

Same mindset of "I cant trade with Boston".

Man. Just downloaded and looked Hoffman over. Dude is going to kill it this season...oh, except, as Corey was nice enough to point out, he plays in C'Ville. What a shame. What. A. Shame.

I am rooting for ya Mike!!!

And he's a Top 10 Preseason pitcher, right along with Kikuchi. Wonder if anyone could make a deal to convince me to move them?

Barring some kind of big trade that sends them out of Cookeville, I currently have Hoffman and Kikuchi set up for unlimited pitch count and every other pitcher - SP, RP, CL - set to 60 pitch max. Want to give some of that discussion in the MLB thread yesterday and shot, see what happens.

It'll probably fail miserably but what have I got to lose.

Greeks vs Sheltown.... All ratings comps per OSA

SP

1. Reyes/Bry Bri: Both aces
2. Noda/McGuire: Both aces
3. Paz/Daniels: Both good 2/3 types, pretty much equal ratings and performance
4. Gong/Jenkins: I'd rather have Jenkins but they are about the same
5. Eismont/Whoever he chooses: Don't think either are going to fight with this one

Lineups

C- De La Cruz vs Hernandez: Easy Sheltown win but Greeks above average at C
1B- Pryor vs Rivera: Push
2B Ruiz vs Hill: Easy Greek win but Hill is elite defensively and a good option
SS Sanchez vs Todd: Easy Sheltown win and can't say anything with Sanchez a rookie but should be a 4 war guy or so
3B Blackwell vs O'Connor: Easy Greek win although OC is a good option
CF Hicks vs Lopez: Easy Greek win and Lopez is average
LF Martinez vs Payne: Easy Sheltown win and Martinez is average at best
RF Parker vs Ochoa: Tough one as I expect a dip from Parker but an advantage for the Greeks
DH Campbell vs Shaffer: Push

Pen

CL Rivera vs Munoz: Neither is elite but Rivera slightly better

Sheltown does not have any relievers rated as well as Rosa and Chavez but they are not star pen guys. Looks like a Richmond advantage in the pen though.

If you are just being neutral and looking at it they are two high level teams that basically look even. There is no way you can say Greeks are clearly better or Sheltown is clearly better.... I know you will to get me all fired up and posting but I can't fight all of you on this topic as I am tired of it lol.

I am not doing a Boston one, I only compare myself with teams that made the playoffs
