rookie_rick Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Did you have Sean Gallagher in your rotation? If you did i feel really sorry for you because if you haven't seen, he is the PTBNL in the Hairston trade. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/07/ptbn...-gallagher.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Anyone that's been following, I urge you to check out VSN. If you're into following or creating dynasties/seasons/franchises, there's something for about every sport and lots of activity to interact with during your season. As I said, there's about every sport you can imagine, and I'll be looking forward to posting a college basketball season come the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 2009 ALL-STAR GAME - St. LOUIS, MO. *N.L. vs A.L.* *The All-Star Game in my dynasty will be simmed. As you can see, the game is set up to be played in the A.L. with the DH, but I've still done the template with a St. Louis scheme just to simply honor where the game is played in real life, and just to present who made the Starting Lineups. I'll post the subs and pitchers later this evening, and a recap of the game in general* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Brandon Wood is having one great year. Those two line ups look a lot more evenly matched compared to my All Star teams. I couldn't believe Brandon Wood's numbers when I saw them. I had barely even scanned who was in the running for the ASG as it was. Wow, 20 dingers. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob44 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I couldn't believe Brandon Wood's numbers when I saw them. Wow, 20 dingers. I've never even heard of this guy? I just looked him up, has had pretty good #'s in AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 I've never even heard of this guy? I just looked him up, has had pretty good #'s in AAA. CC broke it down pretty nicely: (Brandon Wood MVP) After seeing that, I looked up Wood's ratings in my franchise since JR26 and I use the same rosters. Here's his ratings ... vLHP - Pow (79) - Con (63) - Spd (79) vRHP - Pow (74) - Con (64) - Spd (79) In my franchise, he is starting at 3B over Figgins, and batting .234 with 3 HRs and 4RBIs. What I am guessing has happened is the roster maker (kg) used the AAA batting converter/predictor tool to get Wood's ratings. Over 3 partial season in MLB, Wood is a .197 hitter with 7 Hrs is 198 ABs. In AAA, he has hit 71 HRs in about 1000 ABs over the past 3 seasons. Despite being a 1st round pick in 2003, Wood is developing into the "Standard-Issue 4A Player" ... dominant in the minors, terrible in MLB. This has compelled me to go through each team's rosters and make some adjustments where needed. At this point, Wood is a far cry from the 4 or 5 star prospect he was once anticipated to be. Wood definitely sticks out like a sore thumb on those rosters, as does Hafner at 1B. He's a DH if there ever was one. Teix or Pouk-i-lis should be in that spot. Hafner hasn't played 1B since 07, and even then it was only for 11 games, presumably all Interleague games at NL parks. Right off the top of my head, I'm guessing Ryan Howard's "vLHP" stats need addressed as games always seem to over-rank him against lefties. In MLB, he's a career .224 hitter against LHP, .305 vRHP, and he strikes out once every 2.5 ABs vLHP, as compared to 1 out of 4 AB vRHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
