| Post subject: | Player Log: Casey Holmes |
I started by going through success mode and won every game except the last one (grrr my impatience). I projected above average in all five tools (with a 225 power) and excelled at third base and could also play first competently. March 2008: I was invited to Phillies training camp at 19 years old and given a chance to show what I could do in spring training. I opened training with a 3-4 effort against the Dodgers and the Phillies kept me around. April 2008: I got my first hit opening day, a single to left field. I then stole second base and scored the winning run for my team. The next day I hit a pinch hit home run, the first of my career. May - June 2008: The Phillies have been starting me every day, but not at my natural position. While I guess I understand the need for a catcher who can hit the ball, I feel more comfortable playing third or first base. The good news is we're winning. I missed about eight games due to minor injuries and my stealing percentage isn't as good as I would like it. July 2008: I didn't receive any fan support for the all-star game but the coaches came through for me. I was batting about .440 with 31 home runs at the time. I captured all-star game MVP going 3-4 with 2 HR and 4 RBI. In spite of missing a few games from getting beat up behind the plate, we went 21-4 this month and came within three games of the Mets. I also mastered darts and took up fishing! August 2008: A four game sweep of the Mets vaulted us into first place. We haven't looked back. I'm becoming a better, if reluctant, catcher. My skills are improving but I missed another twelve games this month. I'll start September on the bench. September 2008: I came back from my injury with a vengeance slamming four home runs in two games. We clinched the division 9/14 with our sights set on the post season. |

Cool! Looking forward to more updates! I like that you included stuff about the hobbies, I didn't think of that in my log. |

That sucks...I guess I'm ther only one who hasn't been duped into typo's yet. I didn't donate my first year, and my second year I donated $500 per homerun and he never mentioned a typo. I guess I'm lucky  How much are you in debt(if any)?

Phillies defeat Yankees in a thrilling 7 game world series! Casey Holmes won the world series MVP hitting 19 home runs in 20 games. November 2008: In addition to my world series MVP I won rookie of the year and was ROBBED for MVP thanks to the 20 games I missed on the DL. Off-season time. Having Daryl (with 5 star friendship) negotiate for me. I need a raise. |

I keep picking HR donations since my player might never hit one.

In the off season: Daryl negotiated a $1.865 mil contract for me. Much better than what I was making. I wasn't in debt very long. I mastered fishing and moved onto golf. I also met Emma and while Mia *thinks* we're going steady, I've been pursuing her. I also bought my own condo. I had a torrid spring training where it was like I was hitting the ball off of a tee. I really obliterated everything in front of me and thought the third base job was mine. I apparently thought wrong when the Phillies picked up free agent 3B Chipper Jones. The 2009 Phillies 1. Jimmy Rollins - SS 2. Chipper Jones - 3B 3. Chase Utley - 2B 4. Casey Holmes - 3B/C 5. Adam Dunn - LF 6. Ryan Howard - 1B 7. Torii Hunter - CF 8. Jayson Werth - RF SP - Ben Sheets SP - John Smoltz SP - Cole Hamels SP - Kyle Kendrick SP - Jamie Moyer RP - Brad Lidge RP - Brett Myers RP - Tom Gordon April 2009: We got out of the gate strong but I faced early disappointment with a minor injury that benched me for five days. Regardless of that I hit .440 in April with 19 home runs and 38 RBI. We went 19-9 for our strongest start in years. I'm not that happy about sharing time at third base but I can deal as long as we're winning. I won player of the month (for the 6th time) and player of the week for week 1. I also had a 12 game hitting streak. |

Ouch does your player even play catcher. |

Nope! I dislike it and believe that it's contributing to me getting minor injuries. I've almost earning Good Catcher and Good Block by virtue of playing so many games at the position :\ |

I seem to get moved to 3B late in the game a lot and Ruiz will catch. I'd rather be starting though. Right now I'm leading the league home run race by 8 in early May. I am just killing the ball. |
