Carlos Pena from the Rays usually sims well.

Yeah, but he has to cost a huge package to get.

Only Carlos Silva and a AAA player

Really?! Well, then, go for it.

How do you guys like this format? It takes me more time but shows more stuff.

It seems Carlos Silva is the hot number of a trade

I'd rather see your record added, and the box score instead of a full write up. But its whatever you like best, whatever keeps you into it.

Mariners acquire Ryan Sweeney from division rival Oakland.

The Seattle Mariners have acquired young but talented outfielder Ryan Sweeney in exchange for Justin Ruggiano. Oaklands GM also included 100 bucks for dinner that night. Ryan Sweeney is represented by AgentP and will be earning the major league minimum at $390,000.

It depends whether you want a younger (Butler/etc) or older player (Pena).. but yeah, however you go about I think you should sell off older guys.

forgot to add the record, I'm currently putting it out like I show just our record for one game, then the division standings in the next, so on and so forth. I really need to remember this stuff, heh.

I just sent out an offer to a team for a first baseman, I'll keep who a secret.

So is that how you guys like the game updates? I'm probably going to be using more colour and doing more in depth stuff cause yolo.

We can't be friends anymore...

But more color is good. More color is always good

Also, don't be afraid to use size and bold to make certain things stand out (such as headlines or anything before a colon)

I really only use yolo to mock other people.

Cause yolo

I might just do what I did in that post up there, like, for everything.

Make pitchers names look red, outfielders look green, etc.

okay ill keep that in mind
