| I hear ya. Quiet off-season for Waterloo. Not a lot of payroll flexibility. Up to 54 million due to our recent success. Have lost over 20 million since joining Legends a few seasons ago. Not much shopping to do with tight purse strings. Did pick up Menendez. Could be alright. Would want to play him behind the plate. Has some work to do to get his C up. Have a position call-up for the new season. Bentley takes Wallace's roster spot. He looked like he might be part of the 3B picture but both Sunia and Feliciano have played fairly well (and can back up C). Bentley not likely to play much. Have 6 P chilling in AAA waiting for a call-up. Klinger has the most pedigree - used to be a 15 pot. Not that high on him though. Will work to get innings on a couple of these guys. Not much for changes. Pacheco finally gets his chance taking over for Wallace. He was great in limited action last season and spectacular this spring. With Lovato deemed unfit for OF duty Ramirez and McCall will compete for those ABs. (Lovato's planned replacement is in AA - tempted to call him up tho. He looks fairly ready). Not much changes on the P side. Andrew has lost a bit and may have difficulty holding on to his starting job. Updated Friday, April 12 2024 @ 11:32:38 am PDT |

| I'm running late, but to be fair, I don't like running. Grab on tight fellow We have some new blood making their first appearance as Legends: Makakilo and Farmington Hills! Farmington Hills has been playing BB since before the automobile. Talk about taking...your...sweet...time. Makakilo is unpronounceable and I will refer to them as Mako. Queens Park has been away for three seasons. How tough is Legends? Well, easy if your Waterloo. But QP finished better than .500 and still got demoted. Tough break. Concord spent 16 consecutive years So to the newbs and friends from down under, what I do is I scientifically feed our rosters into my state-of-the-art, diesel-powered, Apple II pc, wait 15 minutes for it to warm up, then wait for the green numbers to do their job of feeding my gambling habit (and predicting the FUTURE). These preconditions have never been wrong. And no, you can't go back and check. Cuz I said so! Jeez. SO without further delay, Steve will hand out the trophies to the winners. West Hitter Ratings 1.BLV 176.04 2.PEA 176.95 3.FHL 175.71 4.MAK 173.74 5.MPR 171.12 Wow you guys are really close. OV 162.56 6.Way to ruin a good thing! West Pitcher Ratings 1.BLV 176.04 (I'm sensing promotion to Super Legends!) 2.PEA 167.70 3.MPR 161.25 4. FHL 160.66 5.MAK 151.14 6.OV 150.21 West Predicted Order Of Finish 1.BLV 345.03 2.PEA 343.65 3.FHL 336.37 4.MPR 332.37 5.MAK 324.88 6.OV 312.47 Belleview. You aren't sneaking up on us this year! East Hitter Ratings 1.BIR 187.35 (as is tradition) 2.SCR 182.59 (oh wow) 3.WTL 170.14 4.QNY 168.63 5.CON 166.40 6.BLO 165.92 (there's no "O" in Bloomington) East Pitcher Ratings 1.BLO 182.24 2.WTL 170.14 (same as the hitter rating. crazy coincidence) 3.BIR 168.02 4.SCR 164.80 5.QNY 162.24 6.CON 153.60 East Predicted Order Of The Finnish 1.BIR 355.37 2.BLO 348.16 3.SCR 347.39 4.WTL 340.28 5.QNY 330.87 6.CON 320.00 (rounded to the nearest 0) Birmingham is predicted to win the East! Again! No wait...I totally said Waterloo last season. NO LOOKING. So Belleview pulled the stunner last season so we'll give them Birmingham in this seasons championship series. Last year we tried to take down the West with a 112 win club. This year we'll try a different 100-win club! So Steve, please add the big trophies. Steve? Anywho, my predictions are always dead-on so I guess we'll just let it play out. Updated Tuesday, April 16 2024 @ 10:49:30 am PDT |

| Weird that Concord claimed my old junior high school music teacher, Luis Barrios. | ||

| Heh. Thanks for the effort and content. After an everything-went-right season last year the Dinos are expecting some serious regression in 2064. The 720 OPS our batters put up in 2062 is likely closer to our true talent than the 800 OPS of 2063. Bird finds his way to the doghouse every season. Made a quick trip this year. After his first start he got sent to the 'pen. After his first 'pen outing he got sent back to AAA. SI no guarantee of success. |

| SI no guarantee of success. I strongly agree with that statement, but man that is a brutally short leash! |

| Hehe. Each time you go into the dog house the leash is a little shorter when you get out. We've been blessed with depth at SP. Have 8 guys I think who have demonstrated they can do the job. No room for someone who doesn't have it. We are already looking at last season's Cy Young winner and wondering if he needs a bit of time to collect himself. A nice hitting pop on Ramirez. "Good" hitting is always a crap shoot. 15 feels like a playable number. He's turning into a decent asset. Unheralded as a 12 pot 5th rounder without much of a character count for his scouting report. Got some defensive versatility, good eye, can steal a base and pop the odd HR. |

| Our season in 2063 reminded me alot of the Dinos in 2040. Both times Waterloo was coming off of a mediocre season and had absolutely everything break right. We followed up 2040 with a disastrous season where pretty much everything went wrong. (A 16 fld 2B making 9 errors in his first 14 games a "highlight"). So we've sort of been expecting the bottom to fall out this season. And so far the defense has been trying. White, gold gloves long behind him, made 4 errors in his first 16 games. Pacheco, finally getting some playing time, has made 3 errors in his 7 games as a 14 fld 1B. Dinos have been hanging in despite the dreadful defensive play. Would definitely be nice if we could tighten things up in the field a bit. |

| Have a guy with a decent fastball so I tried using a closer for the first time in decades. 3 BS in 9 app and that experiment is over. Go with what you know. |

| I don't remember how many games it was, but Sal Kelly started off 2063 with 0 Saves, 3 Blown Saves, and a 9+ ERA. Turned out pretty good in the end though. | ||
