You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen. -- Joe DiMaggio
Game Date: 4/1/2023
Welcome to Opening Day and to the 22nd season of SDMB OOTP baseball. I'm really looking forward to this season and I hope you are too! We have two new owners who have, so far, been very active in the trade market in the off-season. I wish you both the best of luck (although not against Brooklyn, of course) and may the best team win.
Significant Injuries:
Brick 2B Yee Qui will miss about two to three months with a ruptured finger tendon.
Houston reliever Jeff King will sit out four to five months with a torn labrum.
Signings:
Veteran closer Timothy Vallejo has found a new home across the Atlantic, as the London Dragons have signed him to a one year deal for $990k.
Top Prospects:
The new list of Top Prospects was announced today. In terms of quality prospects, it seems the big winners are New York and Seattle, both of which have two prospects each among the top five. New York has #1 (C Miguel Angel Ramirez) and #5 (1B Thomas Lyons). Seattle's top two are both pitchers -- southpaw Toyoshige Takahashi (#2) and righty Chris Williams (#4).
Next sim: Saturday night (or Sunday -- depending on my schedule). PLEASE be sure to have your active roster down to 25 players by then.

A reminder, especially for our newer owners: The minor league season starts with the first sim, too, so you may want to make sure your rosters are how you want them, from the major league level all the way down to A level.
ReplyDeleteI guess no Opening Day Tonight?
ReplyDeleteI had a request to delay until tonight. I got the go-ahead from that owner. However, (I'm doing this as we speak), I have another team that is still over the roster limit. I'm going to give him another day to take care of it.
