Just realized I signed a 9 year 208 million contract at age 29. That won't age badly for a 260 lb catcher.

I'm a lefty who the page/system thinks could be starting who sits 96-98 at age 30. Arm managed with bullpen innings over the first three years of my major league career. Walks way down, Ks holding, WHIP at 1.18. Move me to the rotation.*

*That it is a contract year is a coincidence.

Goddammit, I am not a rook! I'm 30! I'm a man! This is the kind of shit I am talking about. No respect for high leverage bullpen arms. I am Norm Charlton in 1990. I want my 15 starts.

I’m all about my character making fat stacks. Starting glory is the avenue to said stacks.

OK, so on the injuries thing, this is more "how the sausage is made" than I wanted to reveal, but...

I typically cancel-out major injuries using the in-game editor, because 1) they're a bitch to manage administratively, and 2) I don't want someone who is actively following this to have to see themselves out of action for an extended period of time. Occasionally, the vestiges of this creep into the records, such as with Sabo's dead arm.

So, if you want to continue with the narrative of Sabo actually having a dead arm and bengal getting a chance at the rotation, I can make that work, but just to let you know...

I'm pretty sure that Carwash has to manipulate the salary pages to keep aging catchers on bad contracts happy.

Since some were interested, here are the mid-season reviews from our owners:
Burlington owner John Pagel wrote:I have reviewed the goals I have set out for you. My comments are below.

Team Record:
Things are moving in the right direction and it looks like we have the talent to hit our preseason goal of making the playoffs. Our fans will be counting on us to push the team to get it done, so do what you have to do to make the postseason happen.

Upgrade a position:
Pruitt has definitely improved to solidify our Third Base. While he's not quite a top-6 guy yet, he's definitely ranked higher than we were here last year.

Increase Profit:
By my estimates, our fiscal balance is not in good shape. I asked you to get more money in the bank, and I don't see right now where that extra money will come from.


During our time working together, I have been happy with your progress towards the goals I have set out for you. That being said, when I look at the team's history on and off the field, my overall impression is not quite as cheerful.

The final evaluation towards these goals will come at the end of the season. Good luck in the second half!
Holland owner Guillermo Davila wrote:I have reviewed the goals I have set out for you. My comments are below.

Team Record:
You have put us in the position to make a second half run at the playoffs. Remember, the postseason has been our goal all year. Keep up the good work during the second half of the year.

Upgrade a position:
I don't see an improvement from where we were last year at Shortstop. Please keep an eye out for an upgrade there if you want to keep me happy.

Acquire a player:
I asked you to bring in a Nationally popular player. I can understand how you might think that L-Jam fits the bill, but I have to respectfully disagree. Keep the search going.
