A little update...
After taking the WS to game 7 and losing. I made the playoffs and lost in the first round. Then for five seasons I was a .500 team while I rebuilt.
I put together an awesome starting pitching staff and an average bullpen (that bites me in the arse alot). I have no big power hitters and can't seem to develop any, although I have a pretty good looking 1B on his way up. Paying 30 million/year for a guy who can hit 30+ HRs seems a little ridiculous to me
.
It seems the NL East is among the toughest divisions in my sim. The Mets who have a god-like pitcher ( I have 2 that come close, the Mets guys is 20s across the board) and a great staff have won the division the last two years but imploded in the playoffs, much to my delight as I have wone the WS the last 2 years... beating the Rays and the Yankees. Washington has won the WS twice since my sim started.
I havent won the divsion since my first two seasons. If I can make the playoffs my SPs are tough to beat.
The game is tough and I do think my first season was a just a random occurence and a little lucky. I feel better about the 2 WS I just won as no on except Yunel Escobar is still on the team, but he is fast declining.
I do think the avergae setting for injuries is out of whack. I have turned it down alot... it especially goes haywire the first couple weeks out of spring training.
Back to relaoding to defend my titles.
