Vin's Sim Dynasty

[ViNSaNiTy15UnC9]

Ok what I am going to do is do a draft and then sim tons of seasons and see how well I can do over like 50 seasons as a GM... At end of the season i'll post my team records, player stats, and MVP stuff. I will have injuries on so its more realistic and I have DH rule throughout the MLB. I don't have the budget thing because MLB doesn't have a cap, but i'm ganna be realistic about signing players. I'm not ganna go out and sign every good FA. I hope you guys follow this, i've always wanted to do this... I'm ganna try and keep a winning team and create the next MLB dynasty.

Ok, I had an amazing draft... I'll do my 1st few rounds.

1- Albert Pujols
2- Mark Prior
3- Carlos Delgado (no one was near his rating so used for trade bait)
4- Dontrelle Willis
5- C.C. Sabathia
6- Hank Blalock (no idea how he lasted that long)
7- Mark Teixeria
Then my next few picks were trade bait players. A few consist of LF-Matsui, CF-Pierre, SP-Byrd.

Here are the trades I did to make my roster a lil better.
Traded Delgado and some AAA mediocre player for Zito.
Traded Matsui, Byrd, and a AAA SP for Brandon Webb.
Traded Pierre and my top AAA SP Sun-Woo Kim for Jose Reyes.

Next post i'll do my player positions for my MLB, AAA, and AA teams.

My teams are all pretty damn good, but I assure you I didn't do any cheating by trading players or anything like that... I just had an insane draft... When I was drafting it I was like flippin out cause these players dropped so freakin far.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays

Starting Pitchers
1 SP- Barry Zito
2 SP- Mark Prior
3 SP- Brandon Webb
4 SP- Dontrelle Willis
5 SP- C.C. Sabathia

Relief Pitchers
LRP- Jose Valverde
LRP- Oscar Villarreal
LRP- Anthony Ferrari
MRP- Shawn Chacon
SU-Paul Quantrill
CP- Jesus Colome

Overall- I have a great starting staff, but the pen is laughable...

Field Players
C- Juan Berroa
1B- Mark Teixera
2B- Chase Utley
SS- Jose Reyes
3B- Hank Blalock
LF- Albert Pujols
CF- Rocco Baldelli
RF- Carl Crawford, originally plays LF
DH- Coco Crisp, CF

Overall- I have some great players and some people who wouldn't start on the Expos so... parts of the lineup will be iffy.



AAA Durham Bulls

Starting Pitchers
1 SP- Dewon Brazelton
2 SP- Doug Waetcher
3 SP- Seth McClung (all 3 so far DRays pitchers)
4 SP- Jason Phillips (went to my HS, another kid in minors that went to my HS is batting like .290 in DRays A, drafted in Round 12 in 2003. (Chad Cooper) His bro will be drafted too prolly pretty high when he declares he's like a Soph in college or sumthin like that.
5 SP- Kirk Saarloos

Relief Pitchers
LRP- Shingo Okamoto
LRP- Richie Ricon
MRP- Ryan Wagner
SU-David Fitzgerald
CP- Chad Cordero

Overall- The AAA pitching looks pretty superb, a few of those guys would be in majors but sent down because of the great starters we have in the majors...

Field Players
C- Luis Baisley
1B- Rendy Borland
2B- Rickie Weeks (I know you will like that Brew fans)
SS- Domingo Acosta
3B- Hank McKinley
LF- Matt Bellhorn
CF- Wily Mo Pena
RF- David DeJesus
DH- Hiroshi Yamaguchi, RF

Overall- Some of those players shouldn't be in AAA, but some of them shoud be in the majors so...



AA Montgomery Biscuits

Starting Pitchers
1 SP- Salomon Torres (he shuld dominate AA)
2 SP- Ole Uttuslien
3 SP- Jimmy Hamilton
4 SP- Luis Fabregas
5 SP- Shane Lundquist

Relief Pitchers
LRP- Rodney Kelton
LRP- J.M. Lofton
MRP- Erasmo Valdez
SU- Ellis Burroughs
CL-Xavier Reyes

Overall- For being in AA that is a pretty good overall pitching team...

Field Players
C- Jorge Cardona
1B- Andy Bako
2B- Angel Blanco
SS- Dieter Plitz
3B- Drew Johson
LF- Greg Magolan
CF- Dee Jay Randall
RF- Jimmy Castilla
DH- Jason Basi, 1B

Overall- Start of lineup is good but after the 5th guy it goes way downhill.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays

Starting Pitchers
1 SP- Barry Zito- 17-8- 2.94 ERA, 201 K's, 1.29 WHIP
2 SP- Mark Prior- 18,7- 2.83, 230 K's, 1.22 WHIP
3 SP- Brandon Webb- 12-9, 3.87 ERA, 208 K's, 1.33 WHIP
4 SP- Dontrelle Willis- 19-5, 2.92 ERA, 153 K's, 1.24 WHIP
5 SP- C.C. Sabathia- 8-12, 5.35 ERA, 106 K's, 1.69

C.C. and Dontrelle fought through some injuries during the season. It slowed down C.C. a lot, but didn't seem to effect Dontrelle's play.

Relieve Pitchers
MRP- Cory Vance- 84 innings, 13-1, 3.86 ERA
MRP- Shawn Chacon- 82 innings, 10-1, 2.63 ERA
MRP- Anthony Ferrari- 61.1 innings, 6-4, 5.28 ERA
CL- Jesus Colome- 55 innings, 1-2, 1.47 ERA, 49 saves

Those are my only relievers that got much of any action. Next highest innings for a reliever was like 25.

Field Players
C- Juan Berroa- .246, 4 HR's, 46 RBI's, .649 (OPS, On base + slugging)
1B- Mark Teixera- .281, 38 HR's, 95 RBI's, .857
2B- Chase Utley- .257, 14 HR's, 83 RBI's, .733
SS- Jose Reyes- .286, 29 HR's, 102 RBI's, .812
3B- Hank Blalock- .297, 35 HR's, 85 RBI's, .883
LF- Albert Pujols- .329, 55 HR's, 147 RBI's, 1.065 (Team MVP)
CF- Rocco Baldelli- .271, 21 HR's, 77 RBI's, .773
RF- Carl Crawford- .264, 6 HR's, 43 RBI's, .668

Berroa missed like 1/4 of the games in the season and Utley missed some, but not near as much as Berroa. Utley for how late I got him turned out to be a huge steal for me. He played great.



bAAA Durham Bulls[/b]

Pitchers
1 SP- Dewon Brazelton- 12-4, 1.64 ERA (Team MVP)
2 SP- Doug Waetcher- 9-11, 3.02 ERA
3 SP- Seth McClung- 10-10, 2.59 ERA
4 SP- Jason Phillips- 13-7, 2.07 ERA
5 SP- Kirk Saarloos- 13-6, 3.88 ERA
MRP- Danny Fitzgerald- 134 innings, 7-12, 5.04 ERA
SU- Ryan Wagner- 143.2 innings, 8-8, 2.32 ERA
CL- Chad Cordero- 52.2 innings, 1-5, 2.05 ERA, 31 saves

Dewon and Waetcher went to the majors a few times when injuries hit.

Hitters
C- Luis Baisley- .256, 10 HR's, 45 RBI's
1B- Rendy Borland- .245, 15 HR's, 60 RBI's
2B- Rickie Weeks- .257, 15 HR's, 52 RBI's
SS- Domingo Acosta- .250, 4 HR's, 20 RBI's
3B- Sean Burroughs- .285, 16 HR's, 66 RBI's
LF- Matt Bellhorn- .255, 12, HR's, 48 RBI's
CF- Wily Mo Pena- .277, 18, HR's, 74 RBI's
RF- David DeJesus- .274, 15 HR's, 69 RBI's

Baisley and Acosta spent some time up in the majors when injuries occured.

AA Montgomery Biscuits
Team MVP's- Salomon Torres- 13-2, 1.33 ERA, 0.98 WHIP
Hiroshi Sakai- 11-3, 1.69 ERA, 0.89 WHIP
Deiter Plitz- .276, 22 HR's, 96 RBI's

I just did MVP's because Torres is the only real player on this team and all the stats sucked besides these 3 guys. Torres would have gotten MVP instead of Co, but he was sent to AAA a few times while players went to the majors and that hurt his numbers.

[ViNSaNiTy15UnC9]

Ahh... I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays- 112-50, 26 game division lead

Durham Bulls- 75- 69, 3 game division lead (they made a huge comeback to barely make playoffs... once 15 games back now look to be a top team)

Montgomery Biscuits- 1st Half, 46-24, 7 game division lead
2nd Half, 40-30, 2 games back for division lead
Overall- 86- 54, 11 game division lead because team that beat me in the 2nd half of season was 13 back in 1st half and team that was 7 back in 1st half was 9 behind me in 2nd.

All 3 of my teams made the playoffs. Tampa and Durham looking very strong going in, while Montgomery has been playing very sloppy lately.

[ViNSaNiTy15UnC9]

Montgomery lost in the 1st round in a best of 5 series in game 4. The GRE Braves that beat them eventually won by beating the Red Barons in 5.

Durhman lost in the finals in game 5. It was a 0-0 game going into the 8th and in the bottom part PAW Red Sox scored 3 runs and eventually won 3-0.

Tampa Bay looked like certain doom in the AL Finals vs the Royals down 3-0, but Zito and Prior have back to back great starts. Then Dontrelle pitched a no decision and won by 2. C.C. then pitched a complete game and won 2-1. They play the winner of the Expos and Brewers game 7. The Brewers eventually won and are going against the favored Devil Rays. Both teams won there 1st, 2 home games. Then both won at there away fields. Final game was at Tampa and Tampa won in 13 innings by a Albert Pujols solo shot.

MLB Champs- Tampa Bay Devil Rays- 112-50 regular season record, 11-6 playoff record
MVP- Barry Zito- 3-0, 1.72 ERA, .174 opp. average

AAA Governors' Cup Champs- Pawtuckett Red Sox- 86-60, 6-2
