philliesphan18 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Ok - so first I gotta thank redsox for this idea. It was inspired by his Raj Aryan feature in his Red Sox dynasty (Check it out - Bringing Back the Boston Glory Days) Okay - so now the props are over. The Saga of the Holsinger Brothers follows the life and times of two backwoods Pennsylvania twins that, like any other boys growing up, aspired to pitch for their hometown team. Now they are getting their chance. It was announced yesterday that the two 18 year-old pitching prodegies have been signed to a three year contract by the Phillies and have been placed on the A Ball Clearwater Threshers. Although they are still very raw, they are widely considered to be excellent pitching prospects with great upside. However, the next few years in the minors will determine if they ever get the opportunity to strut their stuff in the majors. Edit: -- I will post an update later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddux31 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Are you only going to be detailing your single A club? I guess I mean are you going to provide stats and mathcups for your other levels in the Phillies system, or just sim everything and give us details on the single A club? Sounds interesting regardless. Pics and grahic layouts are always nice to look at. RedSox has a great system going, he's a good one to follow after.

philliesphan18 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'm going to model it like it would be the journal of the two brothers. I am planning to just play the games where they start. I can post details about the major league ballclub too, but I was not planning on playing with them until the brothers reach that level, if they do.

philliesphan18 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Ok - Thanks D-Unit I wasn't sure if anyone was following this and what the reaction to the journal style of dynasty would be. I am still looking for any ways to keep improving this dynasty so any suggestions are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway,great dynasty.Yeah - Gil is still looking for a local newspaper to find the box scores for the game (see above journal post) [in other words, I couldn't get Box Score Extractor to work right for my first two games, but it played in fine with the new to the area minor leaguer theme.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Just for another hint of realism, pitchers aren't allowed to wear wristbands when they're pitching Keep up the good work. Don't worry if no one's posting, I don't get much posting either but the views on your dynasty will help you get an idea. Try putting a poll up too.

(The next one I post won't be updated seeing that I played that one earlier in the week too.) Thanks D-Unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 It looks great. I love the tape effects, and the way you put in the Box Score too. Maybe have the brothers featured in an interview sometime in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Whoops - forgot to post this earlier. My progression system (largely based on redsox's for Raj Aryan): A Roster Win: +4 Loss: -1 10 Innings Pitched: +2 5 BB: -1 5 K: +1 AA Roster Win: +5 Loss: -1 15 Innings Pitched: +2 5 BB: -1 5 K: +1 AAA Roster Win: +6 Loss: -2 15 Innings Pitched: +1 10 BB: -1 10 K: -1 MLB Roster Win: +7 Loss: -3 15 Innings Pitched: +1 10 BB: -1 10 K: +1 - Adding a New Pitch: 50 Points (+8 Points for every pitch after that) - Improving Career Potential: 100 Points Any suggestions for modifying and perfecting this system are welcome.

Maybe in the future. -- Thanks D-Unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
