Year 1 (76-86) 3rd in AL West

Our pitching was great, with the AL's best bullpen and the 5th best rotation ERA-wise. The bats were average at 6th in BA, but every other category was 10th or lower, need some power! Kendry Morales had a terrific season as did Tim Salmon and Mark Trumbo, but Howie Kendrick/Maicer Izturis were terrible and might be replaced come next season. Vernon Wells was atrocious but his contract is hard to move, he will be given a small chance next year.

Rd 1 matchups:

Tigers vs Red Sox (Sox sweep)
Athletics vs Rays (Rays in 5)
Giants vs Mets (Mets in 5)
Dodgers vs Brewers (Brewers in 5)

Rd 2:

Rays vs Red Sox (Rays in 7)
Brewers vs Mets (Brewers sweep)

WS Winner: Brewers (beat Rays in 5!)

BA Leader: Ty Cobb .416
HR Leader: Sammy Sosa 59
RBI Leader: Sammy Sosa 140
SB Leader: Rickey Henderson 90
ERA Leader: Chris Carpenter 2.67
Wins Leader: Jaime Garcia 21
Saves Leader: 41 Papelbon
Shutouts: Kevin Brown/Greg Maddux 3

Cy Young: Josh Beckett (19-8 2.82) and Fernando Valenzuela (18-9 2.84)
Slugger Award: Babe Ruth (.368/49/123) and Barry Bonds (.335/49/139)

pucku33 · 10-26-2011, 05:46 AM

May (23-29) 13 1/2 games back in AL West

Same story here, pitching is among the best but bats are among the worst. Jose Reyes has been a huge disappointment and Izturis/Aybar/Amarista combo at 2B has been atrocious. Vernon Wells joined Rich Thompson on the DL where Jordan Walden remains.

pucku33 · 10-30-2011, 09:29 PM

July was a step in the right direction, going 14-12 for the month. Acquired Brad Lidge off waivers, Kendry Morales came back from injury. Bats still toward the worst in the league, while the rotation is still looking solid led by Wins Leader Dan Haren (15 wins)

Batters of the Month: Fred McGriff/Jay Bruce
Pitchers of the Month: Blylevin/Wainwright

pucku33 · 11-01-2011, 04:18 AM

Year 2 (73-89) 3rd in AL West

Starting pitching ranked 2nd in the AL, while the bats struggled to keep pace all season long. Injures also played a role, with injuries to Vernon Wells, Jordan Walden, Jose Reyes, Torii Hunter and Kendry Morales.

pucku33 · 11-02-2011, 07:50 PM

April (12-12) 2 games back in AL West
Offense has looked quite nice with Morales hitting .389 and Jose Reyes looks to have recovered after a bad year! Starters still rank 2nd, although the bullpen has sucked big time. Catching combo of Flores/Conger will hopefully be good all year.

Batters of the Month: Chris Davis/Mike Schmidt
Pitchers of the Month: Joaquin Benoit/Mat Latos
Rookies of the Month: Blaine Allen/Nick Noonan

pucku33 · 11-05-2011, 01:57 AM

May (24-29) 7 games back in AL West
Morales is the only offensive force we have, hitting .398 with 18 hr and 53 rbi. Currently resides on the DL. Jose Reyes is looking like a HUGE mistake taking in FA 2 seasons ago.

Batters of the Month: Justin Smoak/Joey Votto
Pitchers of the Month: Rickey Romero/Jordan Zimmermann
Rookies of the Month: Cody Rogers/Lucas Duda

pucku33 · 11-05-2011, 07:17 PM

Pitchers of the Month: Roger Clemens/K-Rod

pucku33 · 11-11-2011, 04:26 AM

July (43-61) 16.5 games back in AL West
The starting pitching has finally dropped! The offense was actually quite well in July, however the pitching was terrible. Matt Capps and Scott Downs were both waived and RP Antonio Davila is taking over in relief.

Batters of the Month: Babe Ruth/Carlos Quentin
Pitchers of the Month: Miguel Rodriguez/Jaime Garcia
Rookies of the Month: Stephen Parker/Nathan Freiman

pucku33 · 11-12-2011, 04:36 PM

Year 3 (68-94) last in AL West

I was fired again for the 3rd time (each other time, put myself back on as GM). 3rd time is a charm though, and I resigned due to the latest firing. Couldn't overcome Wells' crappy contract, and giving a terrible contract to Reyes and locking up Wright long-term proved to be bad moves.

Will be starting up a new league with relatively the same rules (few tweaks include swapping ruth/cobb with more recent legends). Look for Puck's expansion adventure coming to a dynasty thread near you!

pucku33 Major Leagues Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 323	Year 3 - April April (12-12) 2 games back in AL West Offense has looked quite nice with Morales hitting .389 and Jose Reyes looks to have recovered after a bad year! Starters still rank 2nd, although the bullpen has sucked big time. Catching combo of Flores/Conger will hopefully be good all year.

pucku33 Major Leagues Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 323	Year 3 - May May (24-29) 7 games back in AL West Morales is the only offensive force we have, hitting .398 with 18 hr and 53 rbi. Currently resides on the DL. Jose Reyes is looking like a HUGE mistake taking in FA 2 seasons ago.

pucku33 Major Leagues Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 323	Year 3 - July July (43-61) 16.5 games back in AL West The starting pitching has finally dropped! The offense was actually quite well in July, however the pitching was terrible. Matt Capps and Scott Downs were both waived and RP Antonio Davila is taking over in relief.

pucku33 Major Leagues Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 323	3rd straight losing season I was fired again for the 3rd time (each other time, put myself back on as GM). 3rd time is a charm though, and I resigned due to the latest firing. Couldn't overcome Wells' crappy contract, and giving a terrible contract to Reyes and locking up Wright long-term proved to be bad moves. Will be starting up a new league with relatively the same rules (few tweaks include swapping ruth/cobb with more recent legends). Look for Puck's expansion adventure coming to a dynasty thread near you! __________________ Come visit my Youtube channel!
