Rags Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 howd you get Junior? Traded Frank Thomas, Jay Payton, and #2 Pitching Prospect to Cincy for Ken Griffey Jr. So I basically swallowed alot of money and gave them my #2 pitching prospect....I did that towards the deadline in the first year of my dynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Free Agents? Congrats on your 50th jack shot! thanks, crosby actually went yard twice so that's 51! Todd Helton has 44 i think so I should maintain the HR crown this year they keep throwing those high and inside fastballs to crosby and i keep taking them deep Should I start a new thread for year 3 of my dynasty?

Rags Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yea make a new thread just started to follow nice job with crosby on MVP whats his power L and R. in 2006 Bobby Crosby VS LHP Power = 68 Contact = 56 VS RHP Power = 70 Contact = 84 he's hit 12 HR against LHP (only batting .226 against LHP) he's hit 39 HR against RHP (batting .291) so far he's played in 133 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 [align=center]Marco Scutaro Injured : Dislocated Finger[/align] He's my #1 utility man. He takes his .350 average, 5 HR's and 17 rbi's to the DL The time given for his injury was 11 days but i decided to go ahead and put him on the DL, to give Keith Ginter some time with the big league team. Keith Ginter will fill in some at 2nd base against LHP while scutaro is on the bench, and elsewhere if necessary the AAA season is already over but for Sacramento (Oaklands AAA team), Ginter played 138 games producing a .331 average, 16 Homeruns, and 68 RBI's......Keith Ginter played 1st, 3rd, and DH'd in the minors in 2005 he spent majority of the year on the DL after initially making the big league squad as a utility guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StEaLtHsHoT Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 All those homeruns with such little power didn't think it was possible. Ginter is a good back you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 power really doesn't have a whole lot to do with it IMO griffey and chavez have more power but less homeruns....if i'm using a RH batter and the pitcher throws a fastball up and in I usually hit it out unless i'm expecting a cutter or 2 seam and it fools me I hit pretty much every type of pitch out except for knuckleballs but i hit the 4 seam and 2 seam fastballs out the most consistently it seems like with LH batters the easiest pitch to hit out is either a changeup or a 12-6 curveball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryrat Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 im just curious... don't you get bored running away with titles every year? I have friends who tell me about there seasons where their pitcher gets CY Young every year, and their hitter gets the Batting Title, there defenders get the Gold Glove, etc... and it just bores me to death to listen to them rant about it. Wouldn't you find it more fun to crank up the difficulty a bit, with sliders or what have you, so Zito isn't throwing an unrealistic .66 era at the all star break? Im just curious. ... in madden 06, i thought it would be fun to do a dynasty with the Texans, cause they suck. I just won the super bowl last weekend, for the first time, in the 11th season of my dynasty. It was the most satisfying feeling I've recieved from a sports video game dynasty.

I'm just great with zito, i upped the CPU contact to 30 and CPU power to 25 after the all star break and zito is still around a .70 era and he still gets about a strikeout + 1/2 per inning my games are usually competitive so yeah its fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rags Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 So back on topic, who do you hink your resigning for next season? C - jason kendall (10 million) RP - huston street (300k) SP - dan meyer (500k) RP - jario garcia (600k) OF - charles thomas (500k) SP - chien ming wang (400k) LF - ken griffey jr (12.9 million) C - jorge reynolds (300k) 1B/OF - nick swisher (500k) RP - kirk saarloos (1.50 million) 2B - marco scutaro (400k) I'll definetly sign Griffey, Meyer, Street, Garcia, and Reynolds Jorge Reynolds doesn't seem to be good enough to catch everyday yet, so i'm tempted to resign kendall or go with a free agent for one year, but im not sure....he'll be crap defensively next year Charles Thomas may have earned a starting spot in RF next year over my younger prospects, but i'll probably try and sign him as situational or backup Nick Swisher I don't really need but I'm trying to keep the face of the real life Athletics in tact....I really don't hit well with him but he's good defensively at 1st base....don't really know there Marco Scutaro I could maybe use as a utility guy again, but like I said i signed grudzilanek to a minor league contract last year and he hit 31 HR's in AAA! So i could maybe use that on the big league team as a UTIL guy Saarloos has been very solid as a setup guy, but i go alot of young good RP's in the minors so IDK whether to sign saarloos to a lengthy contract or let him go for younger guys (even tho he'll only be 28 next season) chien ming wang I would kinda like to keep, I might trade away Liriano to keep Wang....same problem that applies with saarloos tho, I have some good prospects that may be big league ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 BOBBY CROSBY INJURED FOR REST OF SEASON He suffered a hernia covering 2nd with about 2 weeks left in the season The best numbers in baseball!

Rags Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 8 GAMES LEFT IN THE SEASON Just a few short goals i'm gonna try and accomplish in this stretch Eric Chavez is 3 HR shy of a 40/40 Season Mark Kotsay is 6 SB shy of 100 SB's Ken Griffey is 6 HR and 8 SB shy of a 40/40 season (unlikely) Barry Zito is 1 win shy of a 30 win season Dan Meyer (rookie) is 1 win shy of a 20 win season this would by my first 40/40 player if Chavez can hit 3 HR over the next 8 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
