The Chase For .400

TexasLonghorns · 06-20-2005, 02:57 AM

I know this has been done before but will it really hurt to take up space in the dynasty section when someone may not be using it? Well I believe not so heres my mini-dynasty.

I took over the Colorado Rockies in 2006 and it is now 2008. I have won the World Series both years I have been manager by getting players who could hit and run like crazy while having no power. One of the hitters on this team is Ichiro Suzuki. He was brought to Colorado in a trade that send Albert Pujols and Cory Sullivan to Seattle for Ichiro and Jeremy Reed. Pujols suprisingly has turned into a low contact hitter with great power numbers even though he has almost maxed out ratings. Sullivan has been a nice everyday player. Ichiro is hitting .400 this year while Reed is 2nd behind him at .350.

Ichiro is currently hitting .401 with 20 games left and this will be the run for .400 dynasty.

Heres his current statline:

Code:

Year  G  AB   H  2B 3B HR RBI  R  BB HP SF K  SB CS  AVG  OBP  SLG  OPS
2008 137 559 224 44 14 11 101 111 32 2  3  18 36 17 .401 .433 .589 1.021

Up Next:Game 1 vs. San Francisco

P.S. My grammar is horrible.

TexasLonghorns · 06-20-2005, 10:33 PM

Ichiro will be performing to a full Colorado crowd tonight due to Glove day. He will be going up against Billy Traber who is nothing more then a journeyman pitcher. Good fortune is in the air for Mr. Suzuki.

TexasLonghorns · 06-20-2005, 11:01 PM

Ichiro is looking to keep this hot streak going. Although he'll have to go up against the ace of this staff in Sun Woo Kim who is a good pitcher and is one of the reasons for Washington leading the NL East. Ichiro could have some trouble tonight.

TexasLonghorns · 06-22-2005, 06:57 PM

Ichiro after two hot nights finishes off a series with the Nationals tonight. He gets Ryan Vogelsong who is a good pitcher but has never been a quality counted on guy. Ichiro could continue this hot streak tonight.

Well after this last game I'm starting to get worried.

TexasLonghorns · 06-22-2005, 08:32 PM

Victor Santos is the ace of the Padres staff and could be a Cy Young contender in any given year. Ichiro after last night might be in for another 0-4 night.

Ichiro didn't play today leaving him with 8 games left at a Average of .401

TexasLonghorns · 06-22-2005, 08:55 PM

Ichiro after a day off is ready to get back to old habits and get that average up. He'll be going against Ryan Dempster who has not found a solid home in the past 3 years while being a quality 5th starter. Ichiro is pumped and ready to go.

Ichiro again gets it pass Juan Francia (2B) and just embarasses him with his 4th hit.
Current Avg:.405

TexasLonghorns Major Leagues Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 302	Ichiro after a day off is ready to get back to old habits and get that average up. He'll be going against Ryan Dempster who has not found a solid home in the past 3 years while being a quality 5th starter. Ichiro is pumped and ready to go. 1st At-Bat vs. RHP Ryan Dempster Ichiro hits a hard one to the gap and is able to get a double off of it. Current Avg:.402 2nd At-Bat vs. RHP Ryan Dempster Ichiro hits one that the shortshop had no chance of catching. Current Avg:.403 3rd At-Bat vs. RHP Ryan Dempster Ichiro makes the second baseman look like he was frozen. He gets another single to make that 3 for 3 tonight. Current Avg:.404 4th At-Bat vs. RHP Ryan Dempster Ichiro again gets it pass Juan Francia (2B) and just embarasses him with his 4th hit. Current Avg:.405 5th At-Bat vs. RHP Mark Redman Ichiro finally gets shown up by Francia and is out on a grounder. Current Avg:.405 Thoughts:POG and a 4 for 5 night. I am very glad I gave him that day off.
