To Bill
From steph

Bill I know the team is struggling and you are preaching patience. But why is Thomas still throwing Brocail and Downs out there, these two vets are supposed to be good role models for the young guys, but they need to start to produce.

I'm not going to tell you what to do, I said I would leave it your hands, but thought we could talk about this, and what options we have

[stephpa10]

Huffman needs to produce like this more often, Brocail has his best game and the manager didn't bring Downs to close the game

It would be a good idea to get rid of Oliver Perez, his control is ALWAYS awful in OOTP11, and since you have such a weak hitting team (at least right now), you really can't afford to have these extra base runner by your opposite team because of walks.

BTW, I like the idea of your realignment, Yankees/Mets/Red Sox/Phillies together? That will be an epic rivalry division

[stephpa10]

Thanks for the feedback,

I'm playing as the owner, so i make no trades or FA, i will let my GM to that, the only moves I will do is fire/hire GM's maybe coaches if i clean house, and if there is a 1st rounder I really want, Ii watch every game so it is frustrating but fun to watch the team develop

this is more of an experiment to see what would happen if the MLB had a big revenue sharing

Wallace of Toronto AL Batter of the Month: Brett Wallace feasted on American League pitching in April and today he walked off with the Batter of the Month award.

The Toronto third baseman rapped out a .443 batting average while collecting 39 hits, 10 home runs, 26 RBIs and 22 runs scored.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troy Tulowitzki Winner in National League: April was a very productive month for Troy Tulowitzki, and today the Colorado shortstop was rewarded with the National League Batter of the Month honors.

He clobbered enemy hurlers for a .353 average, 7 home runs, and 15 RBIs and scored 19 runs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York Reliever April's Best Pitcher: Francisco Rodriguez is at the zenith of his career and today he was selected as the American League Pitcher of the Month for April.

He made 13 relief appearances for New York last month, throwing 12.1 innings and collecting 8 saves, a 3-0 record, 16 strikeouts and a 0.00 ERA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greinke Stands Out, Choice for Best Pitcher: Despite the number of years he's been in the league, Zack Greinke still gets excited when he puts together a quality stretch like he had in April. The 27-year-old starter for Kansas City was named National League Pitcher of the Month earlier today.

He collected 5 wins and no losses with 40 strikeouts in his 5 starts, putting up a fine 0.48 ERA in 37.1 innings of work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

American League Names Rookie of Month: Tim Beckham is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest American League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.

In April the Louisville hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .320 average with 33 hits, 8 home runs and 15 RBIs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jay Voted April's #1 Newcomer: Jon Jay let his numbers do the talking in April. The San Antonio Missions center fielder logged a .340 average as he laid claim to the National League Rookie of the Month Award.

He tallied 33 hits, 2 home runs, drove in 15 runs and scored 15 runs during his remarkable stretch.

AL Votes Blue Jays Wells Top Player: At the age of 32, Vernon Wells might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The Toronto center fielder put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days with a .520 batting average. For his efforts Wells collected the American League Player of the Week Award.

He racked up 13 hits in 25 at-bats, 4 home runs and 6 RBIs last week in 6 games.

So far in 2011 Wells is batting .333 with 6 home runs, 12 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 33 hits in 99 at-bats and a .421 OBP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schumaker's Strong Week Earns NL Trophy: His hard work and hustle paid off this week. The hard-working and hard-playing Skip Schumaker was rewarded with the National League Player of the Week honors.

The scrappy St. Louis Cardinals center fielder hit .423 while collecting 11 hits in 26 at-bats, 3 home runs and 7 RBIs.

In 2011 Schumaker has hit at a .320 clip with 32 hits, 4 home runs, 13 RBIs and has scored 22 times.

To Bill
From Steph


Hey Bill,

That was a good win tonight, I know I was started to get frustrated but you know me I'm very competitive and I want to win. I know you are looking for some help in bullpen and some offense, Just wanted to let you know that we have the money.

Steph

P.S pass on the Thomas that I think he is doing a nice job with our young players, I can tell they are turning things around

[stephpa10]

Ok talked to Bill today, we need to get rid of Downs. He told me that he shopped him around and no one was interested.

would cost 27m to release him, so we are limited what we can do, so we decided to put him on waivers to see if anyone claims him
