NL MVP, I like Ramon Vazquez's .348 BA or Loren Gill's 41HRs. Homer pick: Craig Peterson.
NL Pitcher of the Year, Francis Riley was dominant with 310K and no one else is close. Homer pick: Antooio Palhas, 24W.
NL Rookie of the Year, I'm going with my Fred Snyder. He was an offensive force, won 2 Player of the Week, 1 Batter of the Month, and 2 Rookie of the Month awards this year. I think he's a shoo-in.
NL Hitter of the Year: Goliath Gomez - .332BA + 37 HR, he just brought it all to the table, for one more year at least. Homer pick: No one. I have to choose? OK then, how about Will Petty. The rookie went .279 with 17 HR; we expect big things from him in the future.
NL Pitcher of the Year: I'm going with Novocain here. Doodles Riley is a man amongst boys in this league. Homer pick: Shell Richards with 20 wins and an under 3 ERA.
NL Rookie of the Year: I'll lean with Novocain again and go with Fred Snyder with .336 BA and 35 HR. Homer pick: Roland Church who went 13-9 with a 4.61 ERA and 125 Ks.
SL Hitter: I tried to not pick my own guy, but it was impossible. Brian Burke. .428 AVG and .550 OBP.
SL Pitcher: Miami's Thomas George has a history of being ridiculously good. Homer Pick: Probably Jason Huffman. His Sept/Oct/Playoffs offset a slower start.
SL Rookie: Phoenix's Jorge Perez. Home pick: Piglet Gomez, I guess. My Sept 1 callups all overperformed, but the time wasn't there.
Hey, congratulations to Ritter Hengst on his gold glove. At least someone got something for this awful season Phoenix put together.
Muahahaha! Can anyone take the NL Gold Glove award from Edgar Martinez at 3B?!?! He's just too good!! Muhahaahah!!
That sounds good to me.
SP Derek McCoy is on the trading block. He comes with a hefty contract, but he's in his last year of bits (and compared to some other contracts it's not all that bad...stupid ai). Edit throws slow, but has amazing control and gets a lot of ground balls, so having a good defense is helpful.
I'd like to get this done in the off season as it'll be nigh impossible to move him in the middle of the season with the cost of his contract. He'd be a great addition to a team looking for a veteran who can chew up innings and round out the front of their pitching rotation.
I have a logjam at OF, so I'm looking to trade LF Ken Hale. 4 star guy - looking for a prospect or two in return.
How good is the "on vacation" AI thing? I'm traveling starting Wednesday morning to the Land of No Internet until the end of the weekend.
Watch the guy play for 10 more years.

Let's hope he goes to the Southern League so I don't have to see him again
Hey, you could be like me and not even make the playoffs with 90 some wins.

Lotta that going around these days...
And Pred, I hope that doesn't come back to bite you (well, actually I kind of hope it does ). Guys that age seem to deteriorate almost overnight.
I hope he regrets its for a long, long time.
FYI: On Monday I leave for two weeks of training and I'll be OOTP-less.
So we are simming tonight and that will start free agency. When is the next sim? I will be out of town tomorrow so I'm hoping I will be able to check my team on Friday and make my free agency offers before the next sim.
I'm cool with skipping Friday night, good chance I might get stuck at the in-laws for an extra night and be OOTPless.
Lot of crazy money offered today. A lot.
Also, I am fine with whatever.
I'm also fine with whatever!
Wow, the free agent starting pitching is pretty awful. Is this how it usually is in this league, or is this year just not a good year for it?
hey, none of FA offers went through. I'm pretty positive I uploaded my file. However, if I look in the pending offer section there is nothing there.
