With a 20yr career it is reasonable to think we will have a shot at breaking some records, which would you like you break. Hank Aarons career hr record? Rodger Marris 61hr in a season? Ryan strikeouts? Career wins? Career RBI? 56 game hit streak? If you broke one which one would you like to go after?




Yes...I did leave out bonds, mcgwire, clemons....all cheaters!!!!

Japan baseball is different than the MLB. The MLB has much higher quality players. Notice how an average MLB player can star in Japan and how people like Dice-K who are the best players in japan can come in and be mediocre starters.

Maybe they can give us a choice to go on the juice, it gives us +30 power but gives us Durability 2. Okay, but in all seriousness, I just want to be a decent player.

Career wins would be very difficult, when Cy young was playing I think they had a 3 or 4 man rotation, So pitchers got more starts. 500 is impossible now unless you average 25 wins a year over 20 yrs, which is very difficult

With the possibility of instant "game over" when caught (unless you can strike up a book deal and a celebrity boxing match).

Would agree with this, as well as the # of complete games or any other stat that involves a pitcher over his career.

We could make a list of season/career records, and see who can beat them first, it would be an interesting competition

edit: You forgot Sammy Sosa for season homers, he had 66 in '98

edit:We could also list the youngest player to reach a certain benchmark, like A-Rod reaching 500, etc.

It'd have to be the hit streak and .400 avg for me. I hope it's not as easy to hit this year as it was in 07

And crack the 4000 hit mark and maybe even Pete Rose's record of 4,256 hits.

I'm going to shoot for breaking Roger Maris's record. I think I can get more than 61 homers in a season.

:lol:
And, if we don't get game over, but still get caught, every teams interest in the player could drop and only a few teams will give us a shot, but we'll either have to prove in spring training we can still play or wait until the team needs another person to be called up.

That would be boring! I'd start over if that happened.

Hey, it's the players fault for making a bad decision...if you want fast success you'll have to live with the consequences. I guess if they had that option you wouldn't go for it.

Yeah, I'd definitely want to make a 40/40 type of guy. Although I'm pretty sure you wont be controlling base running.
