JoeRudi26 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 wow man I really like your dynasty great graphics, all around. Its also cool how your keeping with the real time rosters. Thanks Mastro. The catching situation (at least in my dynasty) has been less than mediocre. To be honest, I was thrilled to see Kendall come to Chicago. I've played a few seasons with him in my Oakland Dynasties, and he was no where near as bad as what I've had to deal with here so far. The only advantage I see in the real life trade is the experience that he brings, at least at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 For those of you that want to create Jerry Blevins (involved in trade with Kendall, Bowen), here are his attributes: #60 - Jerry Blevins LHP (Relief) Sept 6, 1983 6'6" 185lb THR - L B - L Contract : Big League Contract Salary : $ 300,000 Signed Through : 2012 (Arbitration eligible) Years of MLB Service : 3 Year(s), 62 Days (578 total Days) MLB Service Days this Year : 172 Day(s) Years of Pro Service : 8 Year(s) Arbitration Eligibility : Arbitration eligible Minor League Option Years : 3 Option Year(s) left Pitching Overall - Stuff 71|Control 65|Movement 71|Velocity 91-94 MPH Versus LHB - Stuff 72|Control 63|Movement 73 Versus RHB - Stuff 71|Control 65|Movement 71 Talent - Stuff 79|Control|74|Movement 80 Pitching Ratings Endurance : 55 Groundball Pct. : 56 Holding Runners : 2 Pitches Fastball Changeup Slider Splitfinger-Fastball I realize some of these attributes won't apply in the game, but it's a decent base for those who are keeping accurate rosters.

JoeRudi26 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 damn tough year for DeRosa Yeah, him and Pie both. 2B has been a trouble spot, Theriot injured (out for season), Cedeno not producing, Eric Patterson out for season. DeRosa was sent down earlier in the year, and Soriano actually started a few games at second. Scott Moore (who plays against righties) has been solid since he got called up, so I've platooned Izturis and DeRosa at SS since then. DeRosa plays 2B against the lefties, and has his flashes of brilliance, but he can't sustain it. The outfield has been almost as bad. Jones and Pagan have hit no better than Pie, so he gets playing time mostly for his speed. He seems to come through at the plate in clutch situations, and actually has 26 stolen bases on the year. It's been a juggle for most of the season, and somehow the Cubbies are hanging on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 How many game has Pie played, and you just like me i have no one batting .300 Pie's played 64 games this season. The outfield has been a mess, with Soriano really the only one that's done anything at the plate. Outfielders I've played this season: Jaques Jones Angel Pagan Felix Pie Cliff Floyd Buck Coats Alfonso Soriano Sadly, other than Soriano, Pie is hitting almost as well as the anyone that's been out there. I've kept my eye on the minors, and there's nothing there either. *edit - on a side note, Pie played 18 games in AAA Iowa hitting .326 with a homerun and 4 stolen bases, he just fails to get it done at the MLB level.

As for Pie you may not want to rush him into the show... Hes a youngster, maybe keep him in AAA for a bit and play Jones and Floyd out there..

philliesphan18 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 have you tried bunting for a hit almost everytime up? And when you can't just going the other way? Works like a charm for Michael Bourn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not cutting it at the plate. Just finished the Padre series at Wrigley. He came up in some clutch situations and just could not get it done. Soriano is struggling again. Think I'm going to move him down in the order. :headache: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a confidence brewing with this club that is getting to the point that they think they can do something. If they take over 1st place in the Central, it's very possible they can run away with it. How can you not like the Cubbies this year? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 *Just to update tonight's game, Aramis Ramirez will sit out for the first time this season. He is 0-16 in his last 4 games, and Scott Moore will get the start at 3B. Cesar Izturis will start at SS, and Mark DeRosa gets the nod at 2B.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 any time for the heads up and is anyone hitting .300 yet ha Ramirez has hit over .300 all season, but he's slid within the last week and a half. Ryan Theriot was hitting over .300, went down with a season ending injury. Other than that, what you see is what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
