MO MONEY, MO PROBLEMS
The problem in Brooklyn isn't money. It's having too much cash locked up in too few players. Ownership approved the deals, because the team was trying to surge towards its first World Series title in nine years, that culminated with a victory this past season. But heading into the 2018 season, the Flatbush Bruisers are looking at shedding as much as $30 million in payroll this off-season. Here are the season-ending stats for the Brooklyn roster -- at least, those who haven't already become free agents. STATS Code:

It's likely that second baseman Tom Kelly, who team overpaid for in 2015. The three-time All-Star is largely valued for his defense, but most reports indicated that Brooklyn paid to keep him away from the Mets or Yankees, who were both hot on his tail. But that he will probably be dealt for prospects and with the team eating as much as $10 million of his deal. "We're not really talking about specific players, but we're exploring our options," said Daly. Third baseman Bobby Cartwright was acquired from Portland two years ago and is another one of those "non-slugging" players who hits for average, plays above-average defense and was likely overpaid from a spike in incomes two years ago during free agent bidding. No matter what the team decides, be assured that this year's off-season might result in a vastly different club taking the field at The Yard next March. WHADDYA CALL 'EM? When the Brownstones first came to Brooklyn, a lot of pundits and some fans complained the name was too long. But ownership said their goal was to give the fans a chance to call the team whatever they wanted. Except the Dodgers. "We didn't want to constrain them with the nickname we came up with it. But we also wanted to be sure that we didn't try to take them back to the 1950s, because well..that team left and took everything with them. We kept the numbers of the guys that played for the city and its people. But the rest of it? We're a new team with our own legacy." What about confusion with the Browns, who moved to Baltimore in 1954 and became the Baltimore Orioles? "Most modern fans would never make that connection. And the NFL team in Cleveland doesn't cause us much a problem either." Ownership strived for a color scheme that was different than that of the Dodgers, And true to form, the media and fans have adopted a host of nicknames for the ballclub. Here are just a smattering of the more common ones that have evolved over the past decade and a half. Quote:

Brooklyn's asset is it's name and I think that it wouldn't matter what it's called, so long as Brooklyn is in front and so, we're doing our best to accentuate that more than anything else. Quote:
I'm trying really hard in this particular dynasty to stick to personalities and to build a character for the ballclub in a way I haven't since the old days of my dynasties. I think that's what makes stuff interesting ESPECIALLY for a dynasty for a team in Brooklyn. |

Field (58th), P F. Falvey (65th) 29th Detroit Tigers 7 P C. Araniva (71st) 30th Baltimore Orioles 0 After a three-year hiatus, Don Mattingly is back with the Brownstones. The former Yankee great signed a five-year deal with the club after spending the past three years as the hitting coach of the Detroit Tigers. Paul Molitor spent three years as Manager, culminating with a World Series victory last year, but left for the Toronto Blue Jays this past year, when they offered him a substantial pay increase. For his part, Mattingly said that he's glad to be back in tow with Brooklyn's Finest. He went 461-305 in his first 5 1/2 year stint with the club from 2009-2014. He was the skipper of the 2009 World Series team and says that he's ready to get to work. Mattingly resigned abruptly in the middle of the 2014 season, the only year the team didn't make the playoffs during his tenure. He said that he wanted to spend more time with his family, but ended up going to Detroit the following year to join the staff, when Scott Broius was selected as manager over him, he knew that it was time to 'come home'. "I have to say that Brooklyn means a lot to me and is an experience far different than what playing in New York was like for me. It's like a family here...I love this place and don't want to be anywhere else." TOM KELLY DEALT TO CLEVELAND NOVEMBER 19, 2017 BROOKLYN - Tom Kelly said that after the World Series, he savored the moments more, figuring that it was the last time he was going to be in that clubhouse with his teammates. Donning the title as "highest paid player in baseball," for the past few years has been "something that I can't say really suits me, but I don't reject the paychecks," he said laughing. The 28-year old two-time All-Star and former Gold Glove winner (at third base) was dealt to the Cleveland Indians today along with infielder Raul Sanchez and pitcher Arlen Goodyear. Coming to Brooklyn in return are 22-year old catcher and NYC native Zach Jackson, prospect Pat Shoemaker ,outfield prospect Vinnie Hooks from Australia and reliever Geoff Brerton. "We're happy with this deal and appreciate everything Tom did in his time here with us," said D.C. Daly, after announcing the deal this morning. "I was heading to the supermarket and before I could pick up some bread, they called to tell me that the deal was good and we were gonna do it. I was pretty excited and so, I'm willing to confirm the story now. But there won't be a press conference until later this week." 25-year old Jackson hit .267 this past season with 11 HR and 63 RBI in 611 ABs. But Shoemaker, 19, was the catalyst for the deal. He was Cleveland's 1st round pick in last year's amateur draft and projects well as an offensive threat from the middle infield position. "We're excited about his ability and hope that he can develop his game to be the type of player we're hoping that can help us down the road," said Daly. Brooklyn picked up about $15 million of Kelly's salary, a deal that still has $75 million in total cash left on it. The Indians last made the playoffs back in 2010, so the team is trying to get back to respectability after suffering through seven straight losing seasons. The deal will save the Brownstones about $10 million this season. Last edited by darkcloud4579; 11-07-2007 at 12:37 AM. |

A nice read. I also think that "Atlantics" would've been a good name. However, I really like that the other nickname, "Flatbush Bruisers". Keep it with your dynasty, I'm enjoying it.

THE NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2017 REPORT
WANTED: A FIFTH STARTER BROOKLYN -- This off-season hasn't necessarily proceeded like a normal one would for a defending World Series champion. But the Brownstones are still assessing their place in the free agency market, looking not the least for a fifth starter. The player who inhabited that role last year primarily, was Arlen Goodyear, but the young Canadian and his near 7.00 ERA were dealt to Cleveland in the early stages this off-season. And in the absence of wooing pitching coach Roger Clemens out of retirement well into his sixties, the team will need a reliable arm going every fourth day. "We do need to shore up that side of things and we're certainly looking around to see what we can find," said GM D.C. Daly. What the team is also assessing is 'where is the market?' That's the thing right now, we're just not sure exactly where the market is and how we're going to be able to figure out what the going rate is for players out there right now. "We're not sure to be honest. It's an opaque market and we're just trying to do our best to make competitive offers to guys we want, without getting things out of hand." Payroll is at about $85 million right now, after the Tom Kelly deal in Brooklyn, so the team is willing to take on more salary to get about $100 million or so. "I'm not sure if that's where the 'cap' is so to speak, but we're not going out of our way to spend as we have in the past." One target in the crosshairs is 30-year old southpaw Billy Blake who won 49 games over the past 4 1/2 years with the 'stones. He became a free agent this year, but is consider within the budget for the team to reacquire, if he decides he wants to come back. "We'd love to have him back," said Daly. WELCOME TO BROOKLYN.. We signed Aaron Cook, starting pitcher to a 1-year deal worth $1.2 million. Cook, 38, went 7-7 last year with Cleveland in sixteen starts. He spent sixteen years with the Indians -- his entire career and will be suiting up with a new team for the time this season, after going 180-187 with 1117 strikeouts in 464 career starts for the Tribe. We also signed 37-year old hurler Chien-Ming Wang, who went 9-8 with a 3.35 ERA for the Yankees last season. The deal is $6.1 million over two years. Both will factor in spot starting roles, as well as out of the bullpen. STAYING CLOSE TO HOME.. Billy Blake was resigned after negotiations that went well near Christmas. The 30-year old left hander returns to Brooklyn for two more years and will earn $6.6 million per season. The Kansas City Royals resigned their star slugger, rightfielder Max Brosseau to a six-year deal that will pay him $127.6 million over the next six years. The 29-year old Canadian hit 36 HRs last year with 96 RBI and hit .288. The Atlanta Braves resigned pitcher Chad Billingsley to a four-year deal worth $54 million. The 33-year old righthander has spent his entire career in Atlanta, going 134-167 over his career. CARTWRIGHT TALKS HEAT UP In the other 'major' deal expected by the World Series champion Brooklyn Brownstones, they're talking with no less than a dozen clubs about 30-year old third baseman Bobby Cartwright. The rankling seems to be over Cartwright's contract and the nearly $60 million left on the deal and how much of that Brooklyn will eat to make a deal happen. It seems likely that there will be a combination of a reliever and a prospect or two in any deal, as most teams are not willing to part with major league talent to acquire Cartwright. "They don't want to sacrifice their depth to make the deal happen. But they also don't want to pay him to play somewhere else," said a source close to the team. ACCARDO INKED TO A 2-YEAR DEAL DECEMBER 26, 2017 36-year old reliever Jeremy Accardo became the latest veteran reliever to sign with Brooklyn, after inking a two-year deal today worth $14.4 million. "Let's just say, it'll be a good Christmas," said Accardo on a conference call after the deal was announced. He pitched in 34 games last year for Cleveland going 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA. For his career, he's made 733 appearances, the bulk of them for the Toronto Blue Jays from 2007-2016. D.C. Daly said that he felt that the team's bullpen was an area that the team neglected last year and that he wanted to go after guys that he knew were proven and could get the job done in the late innings. "We had a strategy that we executed this season to go after guys that had a certain pedigree and I'm looking forward to seeing it into action." Acccardo is likely to be slated for the setup role on the ballclub. |

Better keep reading. 1.04 was amended thus in 1957:
NOTE (a) Any Playing Field constructed by a professional club after June 1, 1958, shall provide a minimum distance of 325 feet from home base to the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on the right and left field foul lines, and a minimum distance of 400 feet to the center field fence. (b) No existing playing field shall be remodeled after June 1, 1958, in such manner as to reduce the distance from home base to the foul poles and to the center field fence below the minimum specified in paragraph (a) above. OK, let's just say Brooklyn got a waiver from MLB, in exchange for the Brownstone's support of Bud Selig's Presidential campaign...

AS SPRING SETS IN, BROOKLYN'S CARTWRIGHT WONDERS WHAT'S NEXT
January 22, 2018 With spring training less than two weeks ago, Bobby Cartwright says that he's not leaving Australia until he knows where he's playing this season. "You know, I'm just an ordinary bloke trying to make a go of it out there. I think I deserve to know what's gonna happen." The 30-year old third baseman is reportedly actively being shopped, but no deal has been reached and it's leading some to say that the team might not deal him. "They're not getting the value for him that they expect or teams that basically want Brooklyn to pay them to take him on," said one pundit close to the team. D.C. Daly has been extremely mum on the subject since the start of the year, saying that "I'm happy with our team as its composed right now and can't wait for the season. I won't be discussing deals for guys that we have now, because I like and respect our players too much to do anything else." But some reports say that the team will have Cartwright shipped out before the start of spring training. On whether the impending deal is a distraction, team captain Troy Tulowitzki say that it's just a business. "I think everyone on the team knows that it's not personal and that we all think Bobby is great and without him, we don't win a title last year. But management has to do what's best for the franchise long-term and so, we understand that..I think." WHITE SOX TO STAY IN CHICAGO  CHICAGO - The Chicago White Sox have reached a deal to stay in Chicago. The team will build a new $475 million ballpark that will encompass part of their current stadium and the team's parking lot at Comiskey Park. "We're thrilled to be able to announce this deal today," said Robert Daley IV, the Mayor of Chicago. The team will be sold to a group headed by Hope Developments, the real estate firm headed by the two daughters of former Illinois Senator Barack Obama. "We're thrilled to be able to keep this team in the city where it belongs," said C.J. Walker, a spokesman for the firm. Ground will break on the new park in February and will be completely by 2021. The signature is that the park will face towards the Chicago skyline. (see picture) That means that one more expansion city is in play for the decision by MLB to expand by two teams in 2022. The announcement of what two cities is expected sometime this spring. The frontrunners are Oklahoma City and Milwaukee. Other cities being considered are Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Jacksonville and Phoenix. |

WHITE SOX STADIUM TO BE NAMED SEARS STADIUM
CHICAGO - Sears Holdings today announced a naming rights deal for the new Chicago ballpark for the White Sox. The stadium will be named Sears Stadium and will seat approxmiately 46,230 fans. "We're thrilled to be able to attach our name to the newest landmark in the city of Chicago," said Sears CEO Martha Ziwilling. The terms of the deal were not announced. MOVIN' ON OUT.. The Brownstones have announced a change at their own ballpark in anticipation of the 2018 season. In a move that's long been debated by the ballclub, the team is changing its outfield fences, after over a decade with the leftfield line similar to that of old Ebbets field. It seems players on the home team have been complaining about that "quirk" more than anything. "That damn field has cost us more wins. We love playing at home, but seriously, that isn't doing us any favors at all," said Ryan Howard, elder statesman of the ballclub. Ownership approved the move of the fences at the end of last year and plan to add more seats down the right field line. "We're excited about a little different look at The Yard this year," said Roger Colbert, head of Grounds at MetLife Stadium of Brooklyn. The new dimensions will be 342 down the left field line, 330 down the right field line and 409 to center field. The wall in right field is now just sixteen feet high, with the added seating being put out there. |

BYE-BYE BOBBY: CARTWRIGHT DEALT IN BLOCKBUSTER DEAL
FEBRUARY 24, 2018 SEATTLE - Four teams and 11 players changed hands as the deal that sent Bobby Cartwright out of Brooklyn finally happened. When the dust settled, here is where everybody ended up: Quote:
You don't often see deals that are "win, win for everyone. But I think this deal will pan out for all of us in the end. Or at least, as far as we're concerned, we're happy with where the deal has gone for us and we believe that the flexiblity it gives us going forward makes it well worth it." The Brownstones will enter the regular season 12th in payroll overall at $80.5 million. MLB OPENING DAY PAYROLLS, 2018 Code:

Dark Cloud,
This dynasty is fantastic. You really make the players and events seem to come alive. It is almost like these things could be happening in real life. Great Job. Ps. how do you get your stats to show up so nicely? |

I use the open in external browser button and then paste the text I want into Notepad and then line them up in there. And then I use the [CODE] tags. |

Is that a world series perfect game I see tossed by Pedro against the Brownstones in 2000?

Thanks. I wish I had the boxscore. It was during the period when I was just simming game and checking in periodically. But it blew my mind when I saw that. Last edited by darkcloud4579; 11-08-2007 at 10:53 PM. |

Here's the preseason preview for the 2018 Brooklyn Brownstones.
 MLB EXPANSION COMMITTEE WELCOMES TWO NEW CITIES FOR 2022 Major League Baseball today announced that two new teams will be added for the 2022 season, evening out baseball's four divisions and giving each eight teams. "We're excited about what's next for these ballclubs," said an MLB spokesman, as he unveiled the two cities on a digital screen. Los Angeles and Oklahoma City were selected. Los Angeles is building a new $385 million stadium in the South Central section of the city, part of a larger development called Woods Landing, that will create nearly 15,000 jobs. The team has not been named, but the area was once home to Wrigley Field, which used to host the LA Angels and the Dodgers during their nascent days. Oklahoma City has grown substantially over the past two decades and is the hub of the South Central Plains. The team's market mythically stretches from about Amarillo, TX all the way to Little Rock, to as far north as Springfield, MO. The team's selection was a coup, given the TV market ranks about 38th among metropolitan markets and more experienced former MLB cities were vying for ballclubs. But Oklahoma City might have lacked in MLB experience, it made up for in preparation. The city has already begun building a brand new 33,000-seat downtown baseball stadium called Tyson Park. Here's a mockup of the inside of the ballpark.  There is no indication as to where the team will be placed. An AL placement would give the team a natural rivalry with the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. An NL rivarly would give the team a battle against the St. Louis Cardinals. Meanwhile, the new LA team has yet to be named. Some noted that without the repeal of baseball's long held anti-trust exemption over three decades ago, that this team would never have been possible. But the excitement surrounding the return of baseball to the area is one that has many buzzing at the possibilities. "So many players have come up through here. So we're just happy to see that MLB finally decided to put a team right here in our backyard," said J.C. Suarez, a city councilman for the area. "We've come a long way in our redevelopment and it's a place that everyone wants to live, so we're happy to have this recognition that we're truly a proud part of this city." |

Question...
How are you making the ballpark diagrams? Are they existing ballparks that you are editing, or are you actually designing those from scratch?
