WARNING!!! As I'm posting I may or may not post something that you may consider a spoiler, so please do not read further if you're concerned. I'll try to remember to use spoiler tags if I feel that something could "ruin" the anticipation/fun/excitement for someone.

-------------------------------

Completed my first season in the Show. Little later than I anticipated due to a saving glitch(the glitch was me), that caused me to lose about a month of the season and have to replay.

In any event, I have finished and thought that much like last year, I'd post some tidbits in here about the progress of my offseason and answer any questions people may have about the offseason. Again, I'm at the end of year 1, so if you want to know about the budget problem in year 4 or whatever, you'll have to wait a few more months.

First bit of news...Tony La Russa left me high and dry for Florida. I offered him $2M more a year than they did, but I guess he's had enough of St.Louis.

Off to search for a new coach, with the possible candidates I'm looking at being:

oh and Dave Duncan retired and I fired my hitting coach. Spending more time on finding managers/coaches than I am resigning key players.

BTW..I wish there was a way to promote coaches, instead of having to fire and then resign.

How did your record compare to Florida's?

countryboy · 05-16-2010, 08:02 PM

I finished 2 GB of the Brewers for the central division crown going 85-77. Florida finished 20+ games behind the Phillies with 60 something wins...don't remember exactly.

Did you see a ridiculous amount of appearances by relief pitchers? because in mine i had plenty of teams having guys appear between 90-120 times.

countryboy · 05-16-2010, 08:46 PM

yes.

Rockies' Buchholz appeared in 123 games.

How did your player stats look? Which sliders (if any) were you using, what did you enjoy over MLB "09" & what from "09" did miss most (again, if any)?
