I must've misread it, then...

Ohka was WS MVP with 1 start, 8 IP, and an ERA of 2.25. I disagree with this choice.
My WS MVP choice is Closer, Chad Cordero: 2.2 IP, 1 K, 3/3 SV, and No Baserunners Allowed

Move toronto to washington! Keep montreal! :p

Off-Season

Off-Season Check List
1. Upgrade At Back-Up Catcher
2. Get A Starting 1B
3. Get A Utility Defender/Outfielder
4. Get A Good Starter
5. Upgrade At Spot Starter



~



Targets
Offense
1B. Jeff Bagwell (86)
The 32-year old hit .246 last season, with 32 home runs, and 84 RBI. Bagwell has been an Astro for his entire fifteen year career. Bagwell is reportedly asking for a 3 year, 14.7M deal.
1B. Nick Johnson (83)
The 26-year old starting first baseman for the World Series Champion Expos is asking for a 3 year deal, worth between 13M, and 13.5M. Nick hit 21 home runs, driving home 77 with his .269 batting average.
1B. Mike Lamb (78)
29-year old Mike Lamb filled in primarily as a pinch hitter last season for the Astros, compiling 4 homers, 31 RBI, and an average of .317. Lamb appeared in 139 games, and had 186 at-bats.
C. Mike Redmond (78)
The 33-year old veteran hit .305 last season, and drove in 17 for the Marlins in 101 games last season. He didn’t hit a single home run in his 154 at bats, but he also rarely struck out, doing so 19 times. Redmond is reportedly requesting 3M over 3 years.
2B. Abraham Nunez (77)
Nunez can get to almost any ball hit to him with his better than most players in the MLB range. Don’t get me wrong, for such a great fielder, he isn’t a completely horrible hitter. Nunez hit .263 last season in 315 at-bats, knocking 2 out the park, and brining home 18.
RF. Gabe Kapler (76)
Kapler didn’t play much last season for the AL Champs. In his 20 games he saw time in, he hit .329, bringing home 14, and knocking one over the fence. Kapler is an above average fielder with a good arm, and very good range. Kapler is seeking a 4 year deal, worth about 6.5M.
CF. Ricky Ledee (75)
Ledee was horrid with the bat last year for San Francisco. In his 215 at-bats, he hit .237. However, he is one of the best fielding outfielders in the game. Ledee has requested between 7.5M, and 8M for four years.
C. Henry Blanco (74)
Blanco has one of the greatest arms in the game, even at his age of 33. Blanco is looking for a 2 year, 2.7M deal. He hit 8 homers last season, despite a .229 average in 266 at-bats.

Defense
RP. Billy Koch (84)
Koch was decent for Florida last season. Despite blowing 8 saves, he wound up with 29 of them. He had an ERA of 3.75, and struck out 58 in 62.1 innings.
SP. Jorge Sosa (82/87)
Sosa is a 27 year old stud pitcher who threw for Tampa Bay last season. Sosa appeared in 37 games, starting all but 10 of them. He went 11-9, fanning 133, and posting an ERA of 3.54 in just over 200 innings. He is reportedly seeking a two year contract, worth about 10M.
SP. Adam Eaton (81/84)
Adam got injured last season after just a month pitching. Before the 26-year old broke a vertebra in his back, he posted an ERA of 4.10, posting a nice 4-1 record in one month. He is requesting 8.5M for 2 years.
RP. Aaron Fultz (81/82) - Refused to negotiate w/ Mets
The 31-year old lefty pitched spectacular last season for the Twins. Fultz struck out 69, and threw his way to a(n) 3.08 ERA in 85 innings. He also picked up 14 holds. Fultz is looking for a 2-year deal, worth approximately 6.5M.
RP. Chad Bradford (80/81)
The 30-year old submarine pitched dominated opposing hitters on his way to an ERA of two and a quarter in 66 games (84 innings). He is looking to ink a 3 year, 10.5M contract.
SP. Chris Carpenter (78)
Carpenter went 15-9 through 185 innings, striking out 146. The 29-year old is looking for a 3-year, 9.5M deal.
SP. Gil Meche (74)
Meche is a free agent at the young age of 26. It is obvious why; he is inconsistent when it comes to throwing strikes. Regardless, he posted a 9-10 record, striking out 109 over 132 innings with his devastating knuckle-curve. He had a 5.05 ERA last season for Seattle.

Departures
RP. Dan Wheeler (80/86): 63.1 IP, 2.42 ERA, 63 K (FA)
RP. Mike Stanton (78): 17.0 IP, 6.35 ERA, 9 K (FA)
RF. DeWayne Wise (72/75): .213, 1, 5 (FA)

Arrivees


*Will be edited

Koch: A Met
11.6.04
On the first day of free agency, Koch, one of the top relievers available, signed with the Mets early Saturday morning. It is reported that Koch inked a 3 year deal, paying about 9M.
Koch will likely be thrown into the closer competition between arguable the best set up man last year, Heath Bell, and current closer, Danny Kolb, who came over in July from Milwaukee.

Why do we have to move someone to Washington? Why not expand? :D

Expanding would result in an expansion draft, and those take a long time doing manually.
Anyways, the Expos have moved, not to Washington, though!
If I anyone can guess were I moved them before I post it, I will allow to create a player for the upcoming draft!

Portland?

Piedmont, North Dakota.

Spoiler: Doing your research may help.
