but u got me beat in starting pitching

but i love me bullpen they all have era's under 2

and my bench is Clutch

 

tex over lee anyday. i was going to get lee but i had too many righties in my lineup. oh yeah i forgot that ichiro but injured but i'd still want drew because of the power and rbi's. my bullpen sucks, it's lost me so many games it's not even funny especially dotel and rhodes.

 

lee is btter than tex

better avg same power and lee is a gold glover(but tex can asweel be on his way to 1 ibn the next few years) but w/e

o and ill take ichiro over drew well atleast in my season hes batting 380 with 43 rbi's in the 8 spot

 

o and suxs about your pen i got olsen to help me out in 22 inngs he has a 0 era with 7 hits allowed

try getting marmol for dotel

yea but im in like 2010 so i svaed up for so i can get this team

but yea i dont really care for my bench i use then for like 5 -10 mins a game

question about The Shows roster updates... what happens after Sep. 1st when the rosters expand? I'm pretty sure the game doesnt support a 40-man roster, so how will it bring in the new callups with just a 25 man roster? I didnt have MLB 07, but how was this done last year?

L.A. ANGELS OF ANAHEIM (My batting order isn't really 100% because Kendrick got hit in the head by Zambrano and is on the 60 day DL)

 

Figgins - 3B

Hanley - SS

Vlad - RF

Russell Martin - C

Torri Hunter - CF

G. Matthews Jr. - LF

M. Izturis - 2B (Kendrick would be starting over Izturis, if he wasn;t hurt)

Kotchman - 1B

 

Bench: OF G. Anderson, IF E. Aybar, C J Mathis, IF R Quinlan, OF R Willits (basically another Torri Hunter)

 

Lackey

Escobar

Weaver (Jered)

Garland

Saunders

 

So far the rotation has been solid I want to try to grab Edinson Volquez and maybe move either Garland or Saunders to the pen, but idk yet.

 

I really didn't change the Angels all that much because I liked the OF, like the rotation, went out and go Martin, Hanley... pretty much all I needed to do...

 

Its a very fast lineup, lot of bunting and stolen bases, but yet still has the pop to rock some HR's out... Im diggin it... might not have the big time names you guys have, but I still have a very solid team.

nice team. and like you said it doesn't have the big names but it's a fundamentally sound team with a little of everything.

Thanks... Im only 8 games in the season but I havent lost yet and have had 3 come from behind wins in the 8/9th... Vlad is money, Torii Hunter has so much range in center and makes the craziest diving catches... Im enjoying it, its a fun low scoring pitchers dual most of the time

man ive come from behind so many times cuz i had to have gregg close. he has the worst composure ever!

he lets 4 or 5 in the 9th then i come back to tie and ive wn back to back games in the 16th inning

the benifets of ahving a team that racks is that we blow out every game

I got Vlad ripping homers, he hit 2 homers in 2 straight games. Not 1 homer a game, 2 for 2 games...

 

... now he did have 6 of the 8 RBIs for those games, but I scored 4 runs in each game, shutout the other team with a CG by Lackey, and then won 4-3 with K-Rod coming in the 8th pitching 2 scoreless innings after a decent 7 by Saunders...

 

This game is so damn fun....

 

 

... btw im doin this you guys should do this too... if you make a sick play in a game (on defense) record it after in the replay vault, put it on the comp, and we can all put together a "Top 5 personal Web gem" and then vote on the "Top 5 MB.com MLB THE SHOW 08 Web-in it like spider man, Gems."

nope the quality blows for ps2 lol

 

but your line up is perfect

you got speedsters that get on base for Vlad

then at the bottom for kotchman

it reminds me of 2003

with jp louie and Pudge

*sigh* the good old days to bad urbina's in jail we could proably use him to close better than gregg

seeing as i don't own a ps3 i can't tell you if the show is any good, i have 360 but mlb 2k8 is great! I saw a fix for the sliders and the game plays just like in real life it's amazing. no hitting 50 homeruns a game or pitching shutouts every time, it's the real thing.

were did u see the fix for the sliders?

 

 

operatinsports forum san francisco guys sliders r amazing

haha yea Im on a ps3 it works with it haha.

 

And hey, Vlad has wheels too!

 

I am in a game right now

 

Hanley

Aybar

Guerrero

Hunter

Anderson

Figgins

Mathis

Kotchman

 

I can honestly say that I would try to steal with all but 2 guys in this line-up, Mathis (backup catcher, Russell Martin has decent speed), and Anderson because I don't like to steal in his spot, and he is a bit too slow for it against a decent catcher.

 

I can switch the line-up around a lot too I mean.... Hanley can pretty much hit anywhere, Vlad, and same with Torii Hunter...

2B Kendrick - plunked in head by Zambrano 1st AB of the year, 60 day DL

 

SS - Aybar - torn cartilage in knee - 60 day DL

 

I need some middle infielders.

 

(Hanley is my starting SS, but sometimes I give him a break of just put him in as the DH, takes away a bit of my toying with the line-up now.)

thats suxs

cant og wrong with mez and dino lol

but you can use figgons at ss or 2nd hes a utility player

but some good choices are kelly johnson, mark derosa, dino,amezaga, augie ojeda or jed lowrie

So familiar face to the orginization....

 

 

... David Eckstien is now an Angel

Yea I could put Figgins in both those positions, but Quinlan is my only other option at 3B, even though he is a 1B, he can move across the diamond, but I don't like putting him there.

 

 

I just threw Eckstien on the team, its going to be solid, and his bat, while its not a power bat, will fit in with this team. He is starting 2B for me right now, havent really used him much but I traded two inactive players for him so it cost me basically nothing.

lol I have noooo need for Edmonds... only OF I would go after would be Jay Bruce...

 

 

I feel like my outfield is beastly with Vlad, Hunter, and Matthews/Anderson with Willits on the bench able to come in and be put in center because he has a ton of speed and then move Torii Hunter to left... usually do that and take out Matthews/Anderson when I do a double switch...

 

can't play with my IF as much anymore.
