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.
