Spivey11 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 This is my D-Backs team. Tell me what you think. 2B - Chone Figgins SS - David Eckstien RF - Vladimir Guerrero 3B - Alex Rodriguez 1B - Mark Teixeira LF - Reggie Sanders C - Mike Leiberthal CF - Eric Byrnes Bench: C - Lason LaRue 2B - Keith Ginter LF - Ryan Freel 3B - Wes Helms SP 1 - Jason Schmidt SP 2 - Wade Miller SP 3 - Edwin Jackson SP 4 - Joaquin Benoit SP 5 - Damian Moss LRP - Felix Rodriguez LRP - Mike Remlinger MRP - Alan Embree MRP - Jay Witasick MRP - Tim Spooneybarger SU - Ugueth Urbina CL - J.C. Romero I think that this is a pretty solid team, but I guess that it's kinda biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudda Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 looks like a balanced team and I'm quite interested on how Damian Moss goes throughout the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basballfanatik9 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Looks like you have a decent team, my prediction is that they'll win about 85 to 90 games. Good luck in your season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac51 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I agree: Sounds realistic your prediction. The Starting-Lineup is fueled with power!!! Bench is ok Rotation is average [schmidt is definetely the Leader; nice to try on some young-guns] Bullpen is very strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spivey11 Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Great team: I would change Setup-Man and Closer. Do you mean that I should switch them around? Or try and get someone else via trade / free agency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trues Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 J.C. Romero is more a kind of a Setup-Man; and Ugueth Urbina is more a closer, just switch them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac51 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 J.C. Romero is more a kind of a Setup-Man; and Ugueth Urbina is more a closer, just switch them around. Sorry, that was me Forget to log in... Romero is "lights out" in his first 4 Appearances...He will get a lot of "Holds" for you and can pitch out of jams; in Real Baseball he is very quick ready in the Pen, thats a big advantage for Ron Gardenhire. Urbina hasn't found is rythym yet,0-1 Record; 0 of 1 Saves, 9.00 ERA; with the Tigers he is only a Setup-Man also, because Troy Percival will be the regular closer for them. You can check out the free-agent or trading market as well? Which closers are still availabe? Urbina and Romero are both this season no closers, Urbina has been a great closer the last couple of years[World Champion with the Marlins, then terrific as a Tiger] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spivey11 Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 There are absolutely no relief pitchers available, all of them are the created players that the comuter makes up. So, I switched them around and I have Romero as the setup man and Urbina as the closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 You will enjoy pitching with Edwin Jackson this season. You should give him a changeup which he is developing in addition to his other pitches. In my 1st year of my dodgers dynasty he won the rookie of the year award, with a 15-6 record and an ERA below 3. His stuff gets extremely nasty in his 2nd year, so he's a keeper.

Yeah, I just pitched by first game with him and his stuff is quite nasty. His 97 mph fastball is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolliefingers08 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 i dont know what it is about romero, but for me, in every dynasty i've done, both 2004 and 2005, i've b een acquiring romero because he is just outstanding in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spivey11 Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I know. Vlad can't seem to get anything going, I had a 19 inning game and Vlad went 1-9. I pretty suprised about Mark Teixiera, he's doing very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac51 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 You can not simulate a season...I have to get the job for every hitter and pitcher on your own. I think you need some batting practice I am kidding, sorry... I needed batting practice too, to get better at the plate. But winning with your team is very simple: Try to pitch as tough as you can, then you will win a lot of games, neither with or without the big bats Can you please post some fielding stats ?

Spivey11 Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Quick update: Chone Figgins just got hurt with a sprained shoulder (or something like that) and he is out for 16 games. I am replacing him with Keith Ginter for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac51 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 If you continue pitching like that - no team has a chance against your guys! Romero and Urbina are closers by commitee or what? I would prefer Urbina, but Romero is a great guy in MVP BB 2004 and 2005, so look at the batters from your opponent and then make a decision who will get the nod for the last 3 outs... Romero is in real a pitcher, who is very fast ready in the pen, I guess that cant be simulated here in the game. Wish you good luck 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spivey11 Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I started out the year with Romero as my closer, then I decided to go with Urbina - he looked better than Romero to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac51 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Romero has pilled up a 1.08 ERA through the first 9 games of work in the "real" MLB 2005 Season... He is a terrific set-up man! In real he is a set-up man for sure...so use Urbina as your closer and Romero can come into the game in 6,7 or 8th Inning. He is a horse, he can clean up the damage from your starter or other relievers. At the moment he is pitching in his 10th game; Twins-Royals 5-3 1 out 1 man on 1st, David DeJesus singled and he retired the next batter...then he is taken out for a righty...Mike Sweeney coming up vs. Juan Rincon! Out no. 3 at the wall...so Romero gets another hold...ERA is 1.04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
