KingPK 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 Got more playing time at least. But having 13 save opportunities and only converting one isn't good. Time for arbitration. C'mon Pride, either give me a real chance or send me somewhere else!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Evolution Report post Posted March 27, 2004 Free Agency (David Hunter): Seattle : 2B David Hunter, 5,462,500 per year, for 3 years. An increase of almost $2,000,000 in salary for Harlequin, and a genuine contender in the West. Also, David will be playing alongside R.J. Frost. Philadelphia : Free agent P Markus Cirillo has been signed to a minor league contract. Last chance for Crow here. Chances are he won't be able to hack it and will be gone by next season. But stranger things have happened. Arbitration: Marvin Jenkins - $3,901,786 for 1 year Robert Henderson - $6,107,143 for 1 year Peter Kostka - $875,357 for 1 year Charlie Matthews - $1,682,857 for 1 year Edward James - $4,614,286 for 1 year Rolf Dreikugeln - $2,748,214 for 1 year Round 1: Charlotte pick: SS Joseph Corbin The Bolt joins the Harlots, joining fellow TSM-er John Duran. Charlotte management hopes that the Bolt provides the electricity that Charlotte needs to become a force in the South. NOTE: Still looking for suggestions for headshots of the TSM players. David Hunter's pic has already been uploaded into his profile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Evolution Report post Posted March 27, 2004 After simulating one month of 2012, Eddy, I can say with confidence that you will be pleasantly surprised with what is going on in the Eel camp. More on that later. Also, a TSM career leaderboard and perhaps a visit from Bill James' Favorite Toy statistic will be in order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just meaning that he didn't get a great increase in pay from Arbitration. Not in himself actually, but just the arbitration ruling. Although, I'm wondering what Eddy did. Managed to actually hit more than 20HRs? That would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angel_Grace_Blue 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 Gee golly, I have no idea as to what picture would best suit pitcher Giant Gonzales. I mean, it's such a hard decision to make. There are so many appropriate people. I think I'll have to go with Giant Gonzales. I'm really thinking that this will be the year. You know, once we go Tonya Harding on Jacksonville. C'mon Janes!

Diagnosis: Sprained Ankle. He is day-to-day, but full recovery will take 4 days. DET: Logan Caldwell was injured while running the bases. Diagnosis: Inflamed Abdominal Muscle. He is out for about 1-2 weeks. TSM Rankings: A new feature, as I rank the pitchers and batters by certain stats. For batters, the ranking is an ultimate batter ranking that includes a range of stats (Batting Average, Homeruns, RBI, Runs Scored, Hits, Stolen Bases, Total Bases, Bases on Balls, At Bats) Batters: 1) Edward James (.371, 11 HR, 20 RBI) 2) Shiro Suzuki (.378, 5 HR, 24 RBI) 3) Carlos DeSantis (.330, 4 HR, 33 RBI) 4) Robert Henderson (.394, 2 HR, 11 RBI) 5) Winston Ghandi (.380, 4 HR, 19 RBI) 6) R.J. Frost (.326, 5 HR, 24 RBI) 7) Joseph Corbin (.344, 2 HR, 15 RBI) 8) Patrick Hannon (.272, 7 HR, 15 RBI) 9) David Hunter (.256, 1 HR, 8 RBI) 10) Logan Caldwell (.321, 3 HR, 14 RBI) 11) John Duran (.261, 4 HR, 10 RBI) 12) Charlie Matthews (.179, 2 HR, 8 RBI) Starting Pitchers: 1) Eric LeBeau (2.54) 2) Marvin Jenkins (4.70) 3) Giant Gonzales (5.01) 4) Ben Dover (6.15) Relievers: 1) The Berzerker (2.03) 2) Peter Kostka (7.82) A few notes: Peter Kostka was--for some reason--moved down to AAA (an action that happens many times in his career, apparently) and that has affected his numbers. Logan Caldwell's injury also affected his numbers and his ranking. Anything else you want to know about this first month of the league, make sure to ask.

Guest Evolution Report post Posted March 29, 2004 SFBL May 2012 Awards/SFBL Players In The News: ATLANTA - Carlos DeSantis was in a groove, and the results spoke for themselves. He powered Atlanta to a 10-2 win over Detroit by homering three times. Number 1 in the 1st inning, a shot estimated at 417 feet, cleared the wall in left-center. His 2nd shot, off Davor Espinosa in the 7th inning, was a solo homerun and fell in the stands in left field. A 449 foot drive to center field marked his 3rd bomb, a solo homerun off Raymon Dunklee in the 8th inning. Carlos collected all three of those homeruns in five trips to the plate, and all of them were solo homeruns, as Carlos scored three times and drove in three runs. The Player of the Week award in the North-South was Atlanta's Carlos DeSantis, who wins the award for the 10th time in his career. He hit .500 with 7 RBI and slugged .864 in 22 at bats. DeSantis has hit for a .329 average this season. He has 20 extra base hits along with 86 total bases, resulting in a .589 slugging percentage. He's 1st in the North-South in RBIs and 5th in homeruns! The East-West Player of the Week award goes to RJ Frost, Seattle's starting first baseman. In 20 at bats he hit .550 with 3 HR and 8 RBI. He has also homered in 3 consecutive games! The East-West Batter of the Month award goes to RJ Frost, Seattle's starting first baseman. RJ pounded opposing pitchers, hitting .333 and driving in 25 runs while slugging .813. Frost has walked 23 times this year and posts a .408 OBP. While batting .330, 62 for 188, he has driven in 49 runs. He's 7th in the East-West in batting, 1st in homeruns and 2nd in RBI!

The biggest improvement for the pitchers was Giant Gonzales, who is finding a groove after a disappointing April. Another man finding his groove is David Hunter, who is finally learning how to become a Seattle Frasier and is increasing his numbers slowly, yet surely. The lack of injuries should've helped everyone flourish, but most of the batters had an off month this month, with the notable exception of Carlos DeSantis and R.J. Frost, who turned it on in May.

Angel_Grace_Blue 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2004 You know, I wonder if I should've used Randy Johnson for G-Man's picture. It's like the Janes are Diamondback-ish from a few years back. Only LaBeau isn't old enough for Schilling (Pitches well enough, though), and Gonzales probably isn't as intimidating. But it's going to happen this year! Just as soon as I conceal these steroids in all of the Jackoffs gym bags. And I'm glad to see that we're doing a lot better once we dumped that dead weight. Kidding Hunter. Hope you're having fun with Frost. I hear that when he's on a hitting streak, he keeps walrus blubber in his bags. Or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
