On the downside - 33 years old, only 5 full time seasons under his belt. Great performer but the late bloomer really hurts him for HOF. At this point, I'm inclined to not induct but dang, 2030 was a fantastic season. Updated Tuesday, March 7 2017 @ 1:43:48 pm PST

Larry Riley - 2 time All-League OF, Rookie of the Year, and 5 Time All Star. 2. Gene Sullivan - 5 time all star and rookie of the year. Some very good seasons but he was the #3 guy behind my 2 hall of fame pitchers (Ricky Mitchell and Alfredo Ibarra) 3. Juan Bonilla - 9 seasons on Team Colombia, 2 time all-star, and a 1 time all-league Closer. I'd also mention Angel Arellano for being absolutely insane for the 4 seasons I had him, but 2 of his best seasons were for UCLA, so I don't know if I'd put him in as a Catfish. What do you guys think?

In 2028 he went 12-3 and pitched 112.1 innings - all in relief. His numbers look just okay but I relied on him (and my lefty reliever McKee, who was 16-4 and made the ASG) a ton. Good pitcher.

This guy was ahead of him, but I think almost everyone else would have moved him aside and given Fuentes everything he could handle. Such a pity. And I just noticed that now Fuentes has retired that it shows his top SI line, 113. I think his report was great hitter, decent slugger, decent speed, amazing in the field, so adding 7-10 SI on to that if he'd been used properly isn't unlikely.

If the owner does it, what are generally considered the benchmarks for HOF in BB? In real life, it's 3000 hits, 300 wins, etc. Just wondering.

Wanted somewhere to put up screwballer Lewandowski, who has been a rock for us for many seasons. Signed & released EIGHT times before he landed with us, and turned into everything you would want in a reliever - a career ERA under 3.00 and 100 Holds. Turning 37 and likely about to get hammered by ageing I'm letting him go, saving myself a little money in the process. Thanks for everything, Buck.
