Yeah but I might keep him. He's doing great this season (4-0 with a 2.98 ERA).

Thanks for the tip.

You have to take into account his production for the next 4 years. He may be good, but you should take it slow. A one or two year deal would have better suited him imo.

You are probably right, but I tried and he wouldn't accept anything less than four years.

That's when you offer him a bit more cash.

With the 18th pick of the First-Year Player Draft I selected Jaime Castenada, a Starting Pitcher who has 5 star potential. I selected two more starting pitchers, a center fielder, and a third baseman. I am now 41-30 and in the lead in the division.

Are any of the rest of the picks worthwhile mentions?

A 4.5 star potential center fielder was my second best pick.

[xepicx2729]

wow. he was your second round pick?

[RedsFan77]

I added a 3 year, 5 million dollars per year extension to Mitchell Wamboldt, a 27 year old 4.5 star second baseman.

Yes.

Lol the Nationals just offered to send me 43 year old Jay Bruce for my 20 year old LF who is the 25th best prospect in the MLB.

wtah. Worst deal ever

The all-star game rosters were announced and my two players who made it are Don House and Jeff Castle.

Sounds pretty solid.

I finished the regular season 94-68, which put me 6 games ahead of the second best team in the Central Division, the Cardinals. Then I lost the first round of the playoffs 2-3 against the Marlins. While losing in the first round is a bummer, I'm shocked that I even got there. I had 10 guys retire, but the only good player who did was Kelvin Herrera, who had a bad season.

The Kansas City Royals ended up winning the 2030 World Series. In the offseason, I decided to sign a free agent who's name is Jesús González. He is a five star 26 year old left fielder who is absolutely amazing. The bad thing is that the only contract he would accept was a five year, 36 million dollars per year contract. I also signed a free agent whose name is José Pérez. He is a 2 star 31 year old starting pitcher who accepted a 12 million dollar one year contract.

I brought up some guys from the minors. These guys include; Jamie Castenada, a 4 star middle reliever with 5 star potential (He was 1 star until opening day), and Jeff McCauley, a 1.5 star second baseman with 4 star potential.

After 51 games, I am 27-24 and 2.5 games back in the Central Divsion, behind the Milwaukee Brewers. With my first pick in the draft (27) I selected Eduardo Macías, a 2.5 star (5 star potential) middle reliever. With my second pick I selected George Gilliam, a .5 star (4.5 star potential) starting pitcher. With my other picks I selected a second baseman, shortstop, and another starting pitcher.
