Yeah I wanna say he was good for you guys the first year in Boston and after that awful. Awful with the Dodgers too. Had 40 something errors in 1992 at SS.

Looking at the teams, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Indians win this thing.

He was a horrid fielder. He had an ok first half in 99 and was a straight bum after that. He had a big contract too, which made it infuriating.

Yeah. If I were to rank the teams just by appearance going into it, the Cards would be #1 on my list.

I love them. A lot of it is trivial, and yeah I may have fallen asleep a time or two, but they're incredibly well done.

I know spike is a big Brewers fan, but I can't imagine him ever taking part in something like this. I didn't know MadTigerMan was a Brewers fan.

There are a bunch of Braves fans too, but none of them strike me as the kind of people who'd want in on this either.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like the 2014 seasons have been added to the site.
