VOTE FOR THE ALL-STARS

That's right, it's that time, where we are asked to select the top players in the league for the All-Star Break. As you know, this happens shortly after the halfway point in our league, and we will then have a week or two of no games while the simulation is adjusted for player performance, then a mad rush of games to get us into the stretch drive...

Anyway...here's your ballot! Send your choices to my email (epigene13@hotmail.com)!

Uh, how many players at each position are we supposed to vote for?

ejcMOABS said...

How the heck is Utley and Howard struggling so much, did the Phillies not ride their backs last season down the stretch? Did Utley not have a long hit streak? COme on... And is Renteria is consideration or are his numbers so bad that he is not?

cjm06 said...

guys, c'mon, this is a simulation. vlad is not a .260, vernon isn't a .238 hitter, halladay last year had an era in the low 3s, and his is in the fours. dont expect players to duplicate there exact numbers.

Matt Caskey said...

ok well when it come to a situation like crawford hitting .228. something is wrong.

Andrew Haynes said...

And Carlos Beltran isn't a .220 hitter. And Barry isn't a .238 hitter.

Get over it. With as much talent as each of our teams has, people do have to get out once in a while for games to end. So they have gotten out a little more than their "seed" says they should. Big deal. Maybe you should exchange some talent for worse players. That would probably fix the averages of your stars.

ejcMOABS said...

true but i only have one three hundred hitter? And yet i have the most efficient offense... fine blast me... HERES the real ****ing question, why are we the only ones taht ever participate or talk trades... im about to get real angry with this league and a few of its members

ejcMOABS said...

Oh and how realistic are the complete games??? If its a simulation with these types of loaded lineups there should be fewer complete games than the pitchers pitched in real life, dont you all think?

Andrew Haynes said...

yeah, I've been hoping that we get a group coming in next year that fully participates. There are still 5 guys in the league from the first year. I want to find 5 next year that will be into it. We need to find a way to evaluate potential owners.

Matt Caskey said...

i agree.

Matt Caskey said...

first step is to finish this year though.
