Chaos in Camden!

Jakeydude18 · 12-18-2018, 12:47 AM

In my first season in Balitmore I decided to clear house in hopes of giving the Orioles a better future. I got rid of Machado, Schoop, Davis, Givens, Jones, Trumbo, and Britton. I ended up saving well over $100M. I don't like giving players over 30 years old contracts of $10m+. Time to dive into the free agents and hope I drafted well!

44-118. In other words, you didn't do that much worse than the real O's.

How'd you dump Davis? Usually it takes a package of Sisco as well I've found.

Score of 1. I assume you checked "can't be fired".

On May 21, 2018 I traded him, Brad Brach, Mychael Givens, Leonardo Rodriguez, and D.L. Hall for Hanley Ramirez (Boston paying 60% of salary), and minor leaguers Aaron Perry and Argenis Batista

In Challenge Mode (which I'm in) you cannot check off the "can't be fired" option. So it was legitimate

Hopefully with the additions I'm making through FA and the Draft we will be good a few years down the road.

Wow, impressive. Especially with Boston eating a lot of Hanley's salary. Brach must've been having a pretty good year I imagine. Also Leonardo Rodriguez is one of those guys with great ratings that never makes it even to AA ball lol.

I'm reminded of the scene in Moneyball when Billy Beane's daughter says "Daddy are you going to lose your job?"

I can't wait to see how this rebuild plays out. I'm subscribing to this thread!

What prospects do you have in the top 100?

Jakeydude18 · 12-20-2018, 01:16 PM

Second Season ended 86-76, just two games out of the playoffs. We were in first for most of the season up until August and then we just fell apart. Even though we had some of the worst pitching in the league, our starters did fairly well until August. I was able to get IFA Jay-Hoon Cheong, a SS from South Korea in the 2018-19 offseason. He played in 130 games (injured in the end of the season) and slashed .317/.407/.647. Also noteworthy is that he had 45 HRs and 115 RBIs in 580 PA with ONLY 48 Ks!!!! He's signed for $14.1M/year until 2023 and he's only 26 years old. Willie Calhoun also had a productive year batting .314 with 30 HRs. And Rougned Odor batted .320 with 36 HRs

Not bad for a one year turnaround!

Jakeydude18 · 12-20-2018, 03:58 PM

Going into the 2020 season I have one pitcher (#52 Hunter Harvey) and one batter (#64 Tyler Calhoun) in the top 100

Jakeydude18 · 12-21-2018, 12:47 AM

The last game of the season comes down to this!!!
