But considering the game is a simulation, don't let any real life biases get in your way, as I'm sure you know. If he has an 85ish fielding rating, he's generally going to be a pretty good fielder.

I'm pretty sure he's never been a good fielder. He's just overrated because he's tall and saves "his teammates from throwing errors" and all that trash.

Oh no Theo! What are you doing!? GAH!!!!!!!!!

Alright, 7.5 back as we hit the turn. Let's hope that you can ride a hot streak while Detroit and Minnesota beat each other up.

I love reading your stuff, hopefully the Indians can get their bats going, and Grady or Hafner comes back, maybe Betancourt should come back, Graves isn't performing very well.

There's no way that Ramirez hurts Hafner in any way in a fight. If there's ever a rematch, my money's on Travis.

Since when is saving his teammates from throwing errors a bad thing? :confused:

His place in Zone Rating:

2008: 20th
2007: last.
2006: 2nd to last.
2005: last
2004: didnt play enough.
2003: 16th


Okay, maybe he never was, like I said, it was just something I vaguely remember hearing.

I never said it was a bad thing. I just said that people always said "Oh, what are you talking about? Sexson is a great fielder, he only makes a few errors and saves his teammates from throwing errors because he's so tall!" It's annoying.

You may have read of my recent computer problems. I highlighted them here.

The good news is I have a new computer which I installed today, and so far it isn't showing the slightest interest in speaking Wingding.

The bad news is I was unable to port over any files, including my saved games, due to a combination of the above mentioned font problems and the failure about 2 months ago of my old CD drive. Therefore this adventure has come to an end.

I regret it. I hadn't decided whether to stick with this, go back to my Royals dynasty, or (eep) try to do both...but it certainly wasn't the plan to end both of them so abruptly.

I'm going to take a few days to try and set things up as I'd like, then I'll be back to try yet again.

Thanks for your continued support, folks, and sorry about this.

Really sorry to hear about your computer problem and hate to see your dynasties go bye-bye but they might be recoverable. Since you got problems with Windows, the best way to get the files you want off of your old computer is to remove the hard drive and hook it up as a secondary hard drive on another computer and use that computer to move the files off. As long as the hard drive isn't bad, the files should be accessible and you can copy them to a USB flash drive or CD. It takes a little computer knowledge to do but should be able to get your files for you.

But you might not be able to do this on your new computer, your old computer probably has the older IDE drives and the new computer will probably come with Serial ATA but any computer repair shop should be able to help you with this.
