For a long time I hand edited all the players I had stats for every January. At it's peak I had stats for 589 players. I stopped doing it a few years ago but I am going to go back to doing it for a spell now then again every January until the hand edited players retire. I will turn scouting to 100% while I do this then back to Normal. Obly doing players at MLB. AAA, FA

[The Game]

13-15 in April, 13-16 .448 4 GB AL East.


1st losing month for a Delgado team that I have managed in my history and my 1st losing month since June 2032 with Willowbrook. Was hoping that the rotation would be better. Nokleby and Crump are terrible right now but I do believe both can turn it around. Apela has struggled. Both Backhouse & Quantrill have been good. Bullpen has been good but not great. Rooster has struggled a bit as have Cicotte, Tarpien & Tiger. Gomez, Nunez & Aldridge have been great. Ortiz is hit or miss.


Offensively, things hve been much better. Kendrick got off to a hot start but has since cooled a bit. Humbert has struggled but is hitting .360ish vs LHP, so I am confident he can do better vs RHP. Kat has been just average, Tugger has done well but hasn't been driving in many runs. Juan is has a decent AVG but has yet to hit a HR. All 3 OF have been great, especially AL BOTM, Tigris DeGaulle. Cedomil doesn't like hitting lead but Tigris has struggled in that role also. Both players have done better hitting 2nd. the bench comes thru as needed. Eloy has been great as a DH/LF, Kalman has not played much but has done well when he does. Seinfeld is now in a platoon, starting vs LHP, so we will see how he does. Naas has had some big hits. Sherman has done well with the bat but his CERA has me concerned.

[The Game]

Tigris led the Offense in WAR.
Nunez led the Pitching in WAR.


No major complaints on D.
Kendrick has done well but the CERA is concerning as it is with Sherman.


Humbert has done well for a big guy at 1b.
Kat is great at both 2b & 3b.
Juan has lost a step and a bit on the arm but has done well.
Tugger is struggling a bit. My plan is for him to move to 2b next season depending on what the 7 other 2b that could play in the EBL do. i would then have to find a new SS from outside the organization.


all 3 starting OF have done well.

[The Game]

While we are over budget, we do have plenty of money for extensions.
Our attendance is down which with having a terrible month and the current stadium blunder, it has turned many Delgado faithful away.
Only prospects that are on the horizon from joining us are SP/C Todd Allen, 2b Brandon Lowe, DH Foggy Bottom & P Stanford Murdick.

[The Game]

The focus for next months draft will be Pitching and Catchers.

[The Game]

Cooperstown SS Falcone Duggleby goes on the 10 Day IL.
Brave SP Ubaldo Giammona pitched a 6 H 4 k CG SH.
Toronto CF Steve Rogers is named MLB AL POTW.
Delgado Cf Tigris DeGaulle is named EBL AL POTW.
Rocky Top Cf Micah Clark is named NL POTW.

[The Game]

Normal Rf Dragon Tarlac is named IBL DA POTW.
Panasonic Cf Yee Hua is the new All Time Single Season consecutive game hitting streak leader at 36 games. 2b Jose Perez has a 5 hit game.
Chevy 1b Rip Pollick has a 5 Hit game.

The Devils are in a bit of a rebuild. they traded their ace Ryan Krause to Colortown but signed a solid 1b in Mike Case and SP Buck Roberson. All 5 of the starting pitchers are new, either FA, trades or rookies. Devils do have some good young prospects that could make an impact in the next 2-3 seasons.
