Another guy I hit well with is Marwin Gonzalez. Something about his stance. I plan on starting a new Astros franchise with the new file coming out after the V3 and V4 edits...

He's hitting .354 with 3 HRs and 8 RBIs. The guy is absolutely stroking it. JD Martinez is hitting .450 with 4 HRs and 7 RBIs. Paul Clemens got a win in his first start of the year (it was a simmed game). We'll see what he can do. Also, Paredes actually led my team with a .301 batting average last season.

not bad so far....im really anxious about their prospects and Paredes.....makes me wanna gut the whole team and just play all young guys lol...btw...i still cant believe u traded Norris lol

Naw I not comparing him to A-Rod but some reason I just feel comfortable when you approach. As goes for Martinez. I still trying to get the feel with Lee.

I would gotten Chris Getz also a former White Sox. Wouldn't that cost you less or about the same?

I would second guess with Schafer departure. He was highly like in ATL. He was one of they top prospects.

Seriously what you have against Harrell? Do you know him personally or what?
