Los Diablos Rojos del México (2012 Expansion)

[filihok]

RE Binngle, OFG:I guess. It was always nice to upload the .mog though. I could save a copy for any future reference, and anyone could check it out if they wanted...oh well. If anyone wants to see the .mog shoot me a PM with an email address.

OFG, Thanks! I thought it was a cool idea when it light the bulb over my head. And it was good fun.

One more opportunity for me to thank everyone who helped out. Thanks!!!

Rojos Diablos Announce (ahem) Draft Day Trade

Minutes (days?) after finishing the expansion draft Los Rojos Diablos announced they have completed a trade. The Diablos exchanged SP Jeremy Bonderman for first baseman Eric Hosmer of the Milwaukee Brewers. Hosmer hit .323 with 35 HR and 112 RBI in AA last year.

Bonderman, 12 - 14 5.19 with the Tigers, adds an experienced starting pitcher capable of throwing 200 innings and dominating on occasion to the Brewers thin staff.

So, you send your possible #2 Starter (as you had listed, not 200Tang) for a power hitting 1B in AA? Even with the previous years sketchy numbers, 200 possible innings is a lot to give up on. I don't know what kind of money Bonderman was costing but hopefully, it won't come back to haunt you.

Of course, if Hosmer continues to hit for high average and power, you'll look like a genius once again.

FOr that kind of money, it is understandable. Nice pick-ups on the Free Agent signings.

RE The Spelling and Grammar Crew:Who knew that Will he tap our ass' name was so difficult to spell?

RE Jeepguy:They were both my second choice, and I'm having a twinge of buyers' remorse. I originally wanted Orlando Hudson and David Desus, who are both much better players. Especially DeJesus.

[200tang]

You're better off without Bonderman, I had him as your long reliever for a reason :P

I predict a high 4 ERA for him this year :>

RE 200tang:Just imagine what it would be in Nueva Foro Sol

Los Diablos Fire TNP as Media Director and Sign a New Catcher

Los Diablos Rojos signed catcher Yadier Molina to a 2 year deal worth $3.05 million. Molina is one of the best defensive catchers in baseball. In my time with the Nationals I hardly dared to send Tony Thomas when Yadier was behind the plate. I'm very happy to have him squatting in Nueva Foro Sol for the next two years.

Yadier is 2nd in Runners Thrown Out % among active catchers (LA's Russ Martin is first) and 10th in total Runners Thrown Out.

[BINGLEBOP]

The MOG file works on Sendspace... good call.

Double good call on Yadier Molina. When I play a modern day sim, I always find a way to get either him or Russell Martin behind the plate, and Molina is much easier to trade for. Forget about his hitting and go for the good D. Then again, it'll be interesting to see how well he hits in Mexico City.

Thank you
