rookie_rick Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 In the two years i have been playing MVP, the Pirates are one of very few teams i haven't ever beaten. I've played 12 games against the Pirates with various teams and have lost all 12. I hope i can change that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav3rek Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Personally I think you should have kept Bonds. There will be a big decline in power from Bonds to Hunter, plus you now have to pay Hunter 18 mil and he's going to start declining. Maybe it will work out for you, I sure hope so.

One main reason i signed Hunter to such a lucrative deal is that he has made a huge difference on defence, he can track down balls that Bonds couldn't even get close to. I realise it was a risk but he is younger than Bonds and so i will have a few years with a power hitter but i prefer to play small ball so if his power declines it won't affect me as much as some other people.

Mav3rek Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 ok, makes more sense then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 ok, makes more sense then. Yea but what you said has made me think. All my important players are getting old like Dave Roberts and Ray Durham. Im going to be stuck in a deep hole next season if they decline in a big way unless during the season i start to bench the older guys more and take risks on young prospects. What do you think i should do. Stick with the veterans for the year and make some moves in the off-season to limit the damage. Take big risks on young prospects through a large part of the season and risk a respectable divisional position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RmembrZito75 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 He is a five-tool player. He can do it all. Good deal on Hunter. Might have been a little too high. Should've paid him like 14-15 million, but good job. Still following this dynasty. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've paid him like 14-15 million, but good job. Still following this dynasty. I tryed to seal a 14 million 5 year deal but he was having none of it, so i decided i would try and tempt him to a 18 million 7 year contract but i had to settle for 5 years otherwise it would never have been resolved. Thanks for following What do you think i should do. take chances on rookies and hope they all perform like Papelbons and Utleys or stick with the veterans and take some risks on deals in the off season?

TwentySeven Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Actually, statistics show that Hunter has declined a ton in CF. He's actually below average on defense right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Actually, statistics show that Hunter has declined a ton in CF. He's actually below average on defense right now. Yea that is true but im playing him in LF because of his speed he makes catches that would be base hits with Bonds out there also he has got a lot stronger arm compared to Bonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
