My team finished in last place with a 63-99 record and had a .255 BA and a 4.97 ERA... YUCK. Baltimore fans please stop sending me death threats i promise things will change!!

Uh oh it looks like tha Hank Blalock deal was a bad one. his ratings dropped alot and he only hit .248, 13HRs, 58 RBIs, and had a .324 OBP. Thats one scary sight.

Any Comments so far?

[alvarez16]

I dont like the idea of trading ur ur big salary people and then signing about 40 mil worth of free agents...

[Hash1]

Well, the reason i did it the first year was because most of them were in there contract year, my team was going to suck regardless, and i wanted to make some cash. The reason i traded Aubrey Huff was because he was to old and his contract was signed for to long so i got rid of him while i still could.

[Hash1]

I lost a bunch of key players that year and if i had kept huff i would of had 2 choices.

1) go into debt
2) Have some very big holes in my team

Anyways this is my first team and the first time ive played any of the mogul series games :p

so this is kinda like a practice team

[michaelg123789]

Sure, take the easy way out Hash:D

You did better with Tampa in Merger league!:eek:

[Hash1]

I wouldnt say im doing bad. I made the playoffs 2006-08 and only missed the playoffs by 5 games in 2005. The AL east is also a very tough division :)

[Hash1]

i guess ill discontinue this thread since i dont think that many people are interested in it :eek:

[boomboom]

oh, this thread was nice HASH, you should continue!!!

[Hash1]

i guess ill continue this thread, but i hope u werent just being sarcastic boomboom :(
