59.4- It's Like Driving Past A Highway Fatality...
… It’s horrible, and you want to look away, but you can’t… I refer, of course, to the season currently being put on record by Gamblers shortstop Mario de le Cruz. I have had a whole bunch of awful offensive stats put up by my shortstops in the past, but Mario’s 2059 would seem certain to set new sta...

59.3- Who's Gonna Catch Them Flies...
The middle infield crowd scene described in our last report repeats itself in the 2059 Atlantic City outfield. There is a definite plethora of guys who don’t hit quite well enough to man a corner spot, but lack the glove for center. In addition, several of the candidates suffered significant drops i...

59.2- Around The Horn
I wonder how many baseball-related notes in history have been titled “Around The Horn”? Thousands, I bet… Anyway, it’s an appropriate title for a preview of a team’s infield situation, and that’s what this is… The corner spots are easy. Tyler Ober has never been quite the player I had hoped for whe...

Re: Which Drafted Pitchers Will Pan Out
Torres seems to be in a class by himself. The interesting question is who gets second. I’d go Chappel by a nose over Rubio. They both have three above-average pitches and a high work ethic, but Chappel has a slightly higher “stuff” rating. But actually all five should be just fine…

Re: Which Title Would you Want?
I’ve lived through three Reds World Series wins, so I’d have to take the Bengals, who have been soooo close a couple of times. I’d love to win the BBA, but based on my experience with other leagues, winning is somewhat tempered by the fact that there’s no one else in the “real world” to share it wit...

Forty PPs converted to 4 million in cash should pay my stadium loan for this year, so let's do that.

59.1- Dateline: Nacogdoches
Stephen F. Austin State University wasn’t really that big a place, so the arrival of ten new faces created a bit of a stir among the student body. A few of them made inquiries and discovered that the university had leased some of its facilities to the Atlantic City Gamblers, as a site for their wint...

Re: 58.10- Three To Dream On
Well…..Johnson looks like a keeper; he’ll start 2059 in the rotation. Mitchell is an “if all else fails” option at second next year. Patterson will be given fifty dollars and a suit of clothes and escorted to the city limits.
