If you're building for the future you might like the round 18 pick.

It isn't really relevant (and I knew it didn't affect the sim)...

I've been offered Hermida and an 18th round pick for McLouth. How do you see Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:27:00 GMT Richard Landry http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/scoresheet-talk/message/85338 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/scoresheet-talk/message/85338 Rasmus better than miggy   I'd have to disagree.   In baseball history 65 player have a career OPS of 900 or better. Thats history. Miggy is at 922 now, 928 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:18:47 GMT Kevin Dempsey http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/scoresheet-talk/message/85337 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/scoresheet-talk/message/85337 Thank you Ni and Choate were picked up last night and I will take a look at Colon.

Much more chance that he's a Juan Pierre or Coco Crisp or Ellsbury and Beckham = Juan Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:00:55 GMT kwarrenca http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/scoresheet-talk/message/85334 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/scoresheet-talk/message/85334 you wrote: "So Joe Pitcher pitched 8 innings IRL and only gave up one run while striking out 9 and walking 1.
