Okay here are my results of simming a season with the Detroit Tigers using Cubby's updated roster set.
First off, I got an error on June 20th saying that my GCL team had only 6 players on it and so I had to fill the rest of the team with fictional players. I tried simming again and then I got another error saying that Burlington did not have enough players. They are in the Appalachian League, so I filled that league with fictional players.
I stopped the simulation on July 8th to take a look at some things. Here's what I found (keep in mind I turned trading off and let my manage control everything:
-Free Agents: Octavio Dotel, Orlando Hernandez, Mike Stanton, Randy Wolf, Julian Tavarez, LaTroy Hawkins, Tim Wakefield, Jaret Wright, Jeff Weaver, Jarrod Washburn, David Wells, Kenny Lofton, Shawn Green, Jose Guillen, Reggie Sanders, Matt Stairs, Ryan Klesko, Dave Roberts. These are just some of the bigger names. There were a good amount of players that I don't think should've been released.
-Verlander and Miller were sent down to AAA. I can understand Miller, but VERLANDER!? Miner and Tata were called up to start.
-Pudge was batting .203!
-Sean Casey was sent down to AAA, along with Granderson.
-Cameron Maybin was starting and hitting .282
-The only person hitting above .300 was Craig Monroe....go figure...and he's only used as a pinch hitter.
-Marcus Thames has 24 HRs, not too bad. Guillen's hitting .223, Ordonez .278 and Sheffield .231.
-There's only 4 guys in the AL batting over .300
-Frank Thomas leads the league in HRs with 28
At the end of the season:
Bonderman - 11-15, 3.60 ERA
Miner - 13-9, 4.29 ERA
Rogers - 13-9, 4.76 ERA
Verlander - 3-9, 3.90 ERA, in AAA
Miller eventually got sent down to AA as a Spot Starter/Reliever
Granderson - Batted .267 in AAA
Monroe eventually was sent down to AAA
Casey was eventually called up to AAA at the end of the season
Pudge batted .197 for the season
I had no .300 hitters on my team
Thames finished with 42 HRs
Detroit finished at 79-83
Yankees finished at 99-63
Tampa Bay finished at 91-71
Delmon Young won the AL batting title with a .311 AVG
Glaus hit 51 HRs
Longoria hit .302 while slugging .553
Berkman won the NL batting title with a .317 AVG
Ryan Howard hit 52 HRs
Callaspo batted .309 with the Diamondbacks
Mussina and Santana won 22 games
Hughes won 21 games
Hochevar lost 16 games
Webb's ERA was 2.22
Lincecum struck out 188
A few more known free agents, like Esteban Loaiza.
Highest Team Batting Average - .270 (Tampa Bay)
Lowest Team Batting Average - .236 (Kansas City)
Average Team Batting Average - .245
Lowest Team ERA - 3.40 (Minnesota)
Highest Team ERA - 4.95 (Kansas City, they lost 103 games)
Average Team ERA - 4.10
That's about all that I can think of. Nothing TOO crazy, but definitely some things that we wouldn't expect would happen, but isn't that baseball. This set is pretty awesome, some tweaking is going to make it phenomenal!
