1980 Season Thread

[catcher24]

--Usage is becoming a big issue fro several teams. Lost for the season last sim;
Jaxx: Monday and Willis
Gold Sox: Howe
Iron: Dwyer, Otis and Swan
Angels: Hebner and Kelly
Gamblers: Miller
Boys: Babcock
Tyrants: Heaverlo (Craig, you also have DL length injuries to Murcer and Parrish)
--No games tonight to give teams a chance to catch up.

I knew Monday was close but wanted to get maximum mileage out of him. I thought I had farmed Willis, but I guess not. Too bad, because I'd like to have him should the Jaxx make the playoffs.

[Windy City Fan]

The Tyrants will sign Randy Lerch and he will take Heaverlo's place in the bullpen. DL Parrish and Murcer. Call up Gibson and Bair.

The Legends sign Silvio Martinez to a 2 year, 250K deal. Please farm Wihtol, and make Martinez the mopup relief and also the #4 long reliever. I'll send an updated MP with the changes.

--No big changes this sim..

FYI, George Brett is back up to .390... and with his usage issues and a comfortable lead in the Wild Card standings, there is a chance I will farm him soon after September call-ups. Ted Williams watch?

[Windy City Fan]

The Thunder sign Mike Ramsey to a one year deal. Send down Dzbynski and add Ramsey to the 25 man roster. Put Ramsey in as the starting SS vs LH.

The Tyrants sign Dave Lemanczyk. Send down Rawley and Hausman, call up Sutcliffe to go with Lemanczyk.

In the CKL, better make that a Tony Oliva watch.

--the Robinson races get a little tighter. 6 of 8 teams still very much alive as we head towards September.

--Next series will take us up to the deadline for playoff eligibility. If you're in the hunt make sure you get the 25 you want for the playoffs up before the next series. Tommorrow will be another off day to accomodate that.
