Sim Tomorrow

I'm not going to get to the sim tonight, so we'll run it tomorrow night.

Update (Monday night):  I'm sorry, but life got in the way again.  Let's try again for tomorrow night.

Hi guys - am really enjoying this game. I'm obviously in full rebuild mode (now I know why the previous owner decided to bail...) and am spending this season basically learning the ins and outs of the game, but I can see why you guys love it!

Just a heads-up, I will be traveling on business for the next week or two, which means I probably won't be able to do much baseball stuff until mid-October or so.

Hi still looking to trade Igancio Lopez RF...always looking for pitching

Antelope Valley Shopping Quijada/Parker

Just thought I'd bump this.  He got hurt in the sim I posted this, so I really couldn't deal him.  If anyone is interested, make an offer.
------------------------------------------
Anyone interested in SS Ronald Quijada?  My scout has him at 4 1/2 stars.  He got off to a slow start, but he has really heated up lately.  Doesn't look like I'll get anywhere this year, so looking to move veterans for prospects.  Prefer guys closer to being Major League ready, as I've had too many multi-star prospects go to 1-2 stars for no reason.  I'll also move Bruce Parker for the right price.
