Power Pros Forum

the majority of the team is between 19-25 and have at least 3-5 years until free agency so im set for a while.

Thats a great strategy, do you have many "big" contract players?

Johan Santana is like 20,000 points, i might get rid of him for like carmona who's cheap and good

my created player is 15,000 beckett is up there too

everyone else is like 390, 400

Your salary is based off of the Red Sox?
Because if it is then your good, do you come out of every month in the "black?" (the font color on the game is blue)

so far yeah

What is your starting rotation (if I may ask)?

Krayzie (my created player)
Beckett
Santana
Kazmir
Hernandez

(i put Bucholz, Lester, and Wakefield in the rotation as well)

That is a great rotation, did you start out as the stock Red Sox and your created player?

Yeah i did, i had my 2 players on the team, my shortstop is all A's and my pitcher is A cont, A Stamina 105 MPH Fastball, knuckler 6 curve 6 and original slider 6

i still get a smile when I see my i mean your created player around the site

I think Felix Hernandez is the best pitcher in the game other than created players. Maybe he should pitch second instead of fifth.

Best pitcher=created pitcher lol felix is quite good, like in the previous game, his a steal frm the mariners and has a decent future. As for santana, his a waste of money, he is getting old and he ain't as good as last year, acutally i don't see the difference. Make a grab for tim lincicum and jon lester cause they are young and good. CC is quite decent but i hate his salary its so big. R.Hill from the cubs is also a decent steal. I wished Joba had a B stamina I love him his good. Getting palpobon is good but he lacks breaking ball which decent closers have, not saying his not good. Its difficult to close games out against the harder levels if you don't have a good closer. Once i used the Yanks against BoSox in All Star. I was leading by 7 runs or so and my pitcher was tired, so i sent in Joba in the 8th and he got 3 'K's, in the 9th i sent in Mariano and he let in 8 runs (wtf). I mean when they said flyball pitcher, i didn't know it was hitting deep doubles.....sad i lost the game cause i couldn't score.

Yeah, "stealing" the young starters is key for having a great rotation for a long time. (bonus, there salaries are that big, and you can lock them up for years) And you can give the AI teams your older starters and expensive hitters for younger and less expensive superstars.

i was using johan for a while but i wanna trade him because i think he's only a free agent in like 2-3 years and he's expensive maybe for joba, huges, and kennedy on the yanks any suggestions?


and BBiship he's great what can i say? you did a PERFECT job on your my created player hahaha

Huston Street is probably the best cheap closer. 3 level 5 pitches (H-SNK, CHG, and SLD) plus Spin 4. but he also has w/risp 2 and vs lefty 2.

Takashi Saito is pretty good, his salary is 2000.
