As of now it's just a little midseason report. I'm looking to do something different, as in interactive and involving videos. Feedback would be appreciated.

I love the idea! Now that I think about it I'm surprised I've never seen it done before. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Yup. This is basically just kind of a test run persay. I'll have another one start from 2012 once I feel this runs its course. Here's the All Star Break report.

Columbus Hurricanes 2013 Midseason Review

OOTP 13 Columbus Hurricanes/Oakland A's 2013 All Star Break - YouTube

Surprises
1B Chris V. Carter and 3B Eric Sogard

Carter and Sogard looked to be AAAA players after putting up great numbers in AAA the year before, but faring terribly when given the opportunity in the big leagues. However, with Adam Laroche not panning out, Carter has gotten a chance to take over at 1st and has done a wonderful job. Sogard has been used as an utility player, starting all over the place when Jemile Weeks was injured earlier in the season and earned a platoon role with Jose Lopez as lefty righty combo at 3rd and has done a wonderful job in that role.

C Chris Stewart

While Chris Stewart's numbers do not blare out at you. (.263 in 2011 with 0 HR, .270 in 2012 with 1 HR) He has done an amazing job behind the plate calling the game and defensively(.371 % CS, 1 Error) as well as being a productive hitter.

Dissapointments

Yoenis Cespedes

The highly touted Cuban has not put up the numbers people have expected after a quality rookie year. After hitting 23 hours and 93 RBI's in 2012, expectations were high for him this year. However, he suffered a separated shoulder the first month of the season and has not bounced back since.

Injury Plague

The Columbus Hurricanes have suffered through a tremendous amount of injuries this year. With 6 players on the disabled list right now, it is surprising that the Hurricanes are still able to keep themselves in contention. Quality middle reliever Kelvin Herrera will be out for the rest of the season and Coco Crisp who had a hot start could be in back in time for the post season; he is suffering with post concussion syndrome. The hot hitting Josh Reddick's burst has been put out for about a month, but will be back by the beginning of August. There may be something special to this Hurricane team though with the way they've fought through all these injuries.
