This is going to have to wait another day.  I got home from work 10 minutes ago and don't really have the energy to run it tonight

I'll do two seasons since I was a vagina and I'm late.

In 2007:
Karl Marx was called from AA to AAA and hit 33 dingers between the two.  His average was below the Mendoza line for most of them, though.  Fortunately Cincy doesn't give a shit about stuff like OBP and AVG.  DINGERS! 

Mr Dave Cato was called up from A to AA, where he hit a mindboggling .372 in over 400 AB.  He's not going to be sticking around in the minors for long if he keeps that up.  He also hit over .400 in spring training, so he may be called up quicker than we thought.  He also only had 40 strikeouts

Mr Huffin Puffer started the season in A ball, going 8-2 with a 2.65 ERA and 46K in 115 innings.  Then he moved straight up to the big leagues! (where he got completely shelled, going 1-7 in 19 starts and taking home a stellar 6+ ERA)  Good news is that it looks like they left you there, so hopefully you only get sent to AAA next year or something

Lil Spitty died.






Just kidding, you went 7-5 in rookie ball (in Provo, yech) with a 3.98 ERA.  Your strikeout numbers were kind of low (33 in 95IP), but you've got a high ceiling and you're still very young.

I kept my guy exactly the same, but I lowered my "health" stat from 95 (where I put all of y'all) to 70.  Hopefully Jay Dizzle has some hilarious injuries.  As for playing, he didn't do much of anything impressive.  Got called up to AAA where he's hitting about .275 with a little power.

Other stuff from 07:
Cubs win the World Series (lol)
AL ROY - Alex Gordon
NY ROY - Ryan Braun (???)
AL MVP - Travis Hafner
NL MVP - Pujols
AL Cy Young - Johan Santana
NL Cy Young - Ben Sheets

OK, 2008 now

The founder of Communism hit .237 in AA with 56 HR and 135 RBI.  How the fuck he hasn't been called up is beyond me.  His 150 strikeouts might have something to do with it, but still.

Dave Cato spent most of the season in AAA Sacramento, where he collected over 200 hits en route to batting .370/.469/.596, for an OPS of 1.065.  I can't imagine he stays there very long, especially considering Oakland's other option for a backup 2B is D'Angelo Jimenez, and I'm pretty sure I could strike him out in real life.  Another feather in your cap was hitting .330 in 23 games in Spring Training.

Huffin Puffer is our first full time major leaguer!  Yay!  He's also out 11 months with a severed elbow ligament!  Yay!  Wait, that part sucks.  You went 5-9 with a 5.93 ERA.  You average about 5K/9IP, but you only walk about half that, which is kind of what you'd expect for a non-power pitcher.  Your description says you'll be a perfect 2 or 3 starter, so hopefully when you come back next June you'll have a decent stint in the majors this time.

I'm in AA, where I hit .313 with 24 dingers and 96 RBI.  Fortunately for me, Detroit has virtually no 1B prospects.  Unfortunately, Erie sucks and I'd like to be in a nice city.  You know, like Detroit.

Lil Spitty is with the big league club (which I mistakenly selected as the Angels, sorry).  He went 1-4 in 7 starts.  You pitched in 12 games though, so you're probably being used as a reliever at first, which is understandable for a 23 year old who isn't sure what team he's on.  Good numbers otherwise though.

Other stuff:
Arizona beats Cleveland in the WS
AL ROY - Garrett Jones
AL ROY - Tyler Greene
AL MVP - Justin Morneau (who almost won the triple crown; he took the RBI title and batting title)
NL MVP - Poo-holes
AL Cy Young - CC Fatbathia
NL Cy Young - Brandon Webb

I even bumped up your health to avoid freak injuries like that.  Minus the injury you're doing better than anyone else right now.

That's good, isn't it? But Chuck Marx is doing as well as intended: difficulty connecting but when he does the results are transcendental.

Bats with a white stick, you know. [/virtual baseball trivia]

Go L'il Spitty Go!  His dad would be so proud if it wasn't for the, you know, being dead thing.

2009:

Dave Cato is wasted in the minors.  He hit above .400 in 28 games in AA and .350 with good power (12HR 93RBI) in AAA, but was bizarrely never called up.  He's a free agent now though, so he may get picked up somewhere else.  He's basically peaked though, and with his age it's possible that no one wants to take a chance on a 32 year old with 3 years of experience in the minors

Lil Spitty had a good season.  He went 14-5 in AA with a sub-3 ERA.  Upon callup to the Angels, he went 1-1 with an ERA of 4.26.  He's makin his daddy proud as a September callup.  He's also a hell of a workhorse, throwing over 100 pitches in every start in AA, with a high of 127!
