Ready to start. Uhh no: Sim Spring Training and sent down players (ugh)

The new OS Full Minors Rosters are just out and that means my Padres franchise will start not later than today!

I won't post the Contract Goals I have b/c I don't care

.

What I do post is the batting/pitching/defense/overall rating at the start of the season:

Batting 24th
Pitching 9th
Defense 23rd
Overall 17th

The overall ratings for the other teams in my division are:

Dbacks: 23rd
Rockies: 6th
Dodgers: 3rd
Giants: 16th

So I should be about middle of the pack here. These rankings will of course fluctuate b/c of injuries and trades.

The previous post I said I would be playing with Injuries ON (random injuries) but with people who are injured long--IRL--to start the season manually injured and placed on the DL.

Now I just simmed ST with everybody not injured (so Nathan, Volquez, Bedard and Lee will play to start the season) and made moves that were necesarry:

Notable Injuries:
3/6 Chad Durbin (PHI) - 1/2 Months
3/7 Doug Fister (SEA) - 2/3 Months
3/9 Austin Kearns (CLE) - 6+ Months
3/19 Ricky Nolasco (FLA) - 1/2 Months
3/27 Dustin Nippert (TEX) - 1/2 Months
3/28 Vernon Wells (TOR) - 2/3 Months
3/31 Chris Snyder (ARI) - 1/2 Months

Trades:
3/28 Giants trade Fred Lewis to Blue Jays for player to be named later.

I had to do this to keep Blue Jays a bit competative. The player to be named later will be traded in a month (got that noted). That player can OR help the Giants on the short term OR on the long term. That depends on the situation the Giants will be in. I'll check if it's a fair trade of course.

At this moment I'm sending down players and adjusting every teams' Opening Day roster to my likings. This is gonna take a while. Hopefully I'll be able to play a game today.
