I just finished reading Ruben "Streak" Souffront and now up to where you have left off with Harry Lyerly. I have to tell you that I have read a lot of dynasties, reports, stories, etc. here on OOTP forums and of the hundred or more that I have read yours is in my top five.

I enjoy the fact that you give more than just stats. Stats are fine to a point as they give feedback on how well players, teams, and even the league is doing, but a dynasty needs much more than stats. Like stories inside the league (players, teams, events, etc.) and much more. I love getting tidbits of flavor.

A couple of my favorite players are 1B Bobby Erbakan and SS Chad Brown. I believe that Bobby is on the cusp of becoming a superstar if he continues to work hard. He is an all-around player. Chad seems to continue to improve yearly. It's hard to see him becoming a true consistent star in the league with the amount of errors he has each year. I continue to hold out hope for him to improve, we shall see.

Puente has been a force early on for Denver (when he wasn't hurt) but his contributions have seriously declined year by year. It might be best for him and the organization if he was given an opportunity elsewhere (for the many reasons you gave in your post about him).

Something that I really like that you do is hold on to players and stay loyal to them and give them a chance to develop. Way too often I see dynasties from the beginning enter into mass trading, unfair trades, and treating players like yesterday's treat to be moved today. Players become a stock. The game becomes about winning at all costs. People have a right to play their game the way they want, it's just something I don't like and your dynasty is more enjoyable because you have a real reason for trading players.

Question: Have you taken a long look at your personnel? Not only in Denver but in your minors also? I am curious about something and want to start there.

I am sure I have more to say and ask but I need to go for now. Keep up the great work Bird! Can I call you Bird? lol. Have a great night.
