I do pay attention, but he wasn't drafted, he was traded, had no history and was "durable."

Honestly I think I just need to give this game a break for a while. It's gotten extremely frustrating lately, nothing I do in-game works, nobody can pitch, nobody can hit. I put out pitchers with great ratings and they get shelled, and I face pitchers with crap ratings and get shut out.

As a manager I can't do anything about it, and as a GM, there's basically nothing to do in August but wait for September callups to play around with some prospects. This team played over its heads for a while but has now come back to earth.. hard. I guess I had hoped I had made real, permanent improvements but my expectations were probably set too high based on some early streaks that couldn't continue.

My owner wanted 81-81 for the year. My more realistic goal was 65-97. We are currently 58-58. Given all the turnover, lousy players and injuries, we are probably doing better than we should be.

But I'm perfectionistic and impatient.. a bad combination for this job.
