I don't think I've ever made one of these before. Toronto Blue Jays roster Please demote from the majors to AAA: C K. Cash 2B J. Lawrence LF R. Johnson CF T. Godwin MR S. Sobkowiak Activate SP B. Bonser from the DL. I believe this leaves me with a 25-man roster, as befits the rulebook. Lineup vs. RHP+DH 1.) SS Russ Adams 2.) 2B Orlando Hudson 3.) 1B Carlos Delgado 4.) C Josh Phelps 5.) 3B Eric Hinske 6.) LF John-Ford Griffin 7.) CF Vernon Wells 8.) DH Shannon Stewart 9.) RF Gabe Gross Lineup vs. LHP+DH: With the Jays' notorious weakness to left-handed pitching, I'm waiting for the ratings to come back up before putting this in so as to squeeze every last ounce of potential out of my Canadian bats against Mr. Pettitte. Starting rotation: 1.) LHP Mark Hendrickson 2.) RHP Kurt Ainsworth 3.) RHP Russ Ortiz 4.) RHP Boof Bonser Mopup: 1.) Jason Kershner 2.) Jay Witasick 3.) Bob File Middle: 1.) Cliff Politte 2.) Kelvim Escobar 3.) Jay Witasick 4.) Bob File Setup: 1.) Cliff Politte 2.) Kelvim Escobar Closer: 1.) Troy Percival Thank you so much, sir.
For the playoffs please switch me to a 4 man rotation. Auto the pitching staff then set my starters as follows: Starters: 1) Vazquez 2) Zito 3) Harden 4) Hudson Put Ben Fritz in the number 2 Setup man role and also at #3 mop-up. Move 2B Chris Burke to the majors from AAA and move MR Chad Harville down to AAA. Auto my depth charts and lineups. I will be around sporadically the next few days. Please feel free to sim any of my elimination games without me around. The only thing I ask is that If Hudson is scheduled to start an elimination game please change it to Vazquez or Zito, whichever is better rested. If no one is rested start Hudson.
Chicago Cubs Playoff Roster Promotions, Demotions, and Cuts Demote John Rheinecker, P from Majors to AAA Cut Will Ohman, P in AAA Cut Cory Linney, P in A Activate Chad Bradford, P from the Injured List and place in majors Depth Charts Keep the backups the same that were the backups at the end of the regular season; however, please auto the percentages (which in the playoffs can't be too high, maybe 3%?) Batting Lineups (vs RHP and LHP) Auto the lineups vs RHP AND LHP, but keep the starters the same that finished the season Rotation Rotation will be dictated by what happens in the first 2 games: Game 1 starter - Mark Mulder Game 2 starter - Mark Prior If the series is 2-0 Chicago or 1-1, then the starter for Game 3 will be: Jason Johnson; however, if the Cubbies are down 0-2, then the starter for Game 3 will be: Freddy Garcia Game 4 (if Johnson started Game 3) starter - Garcia Game 4 (if Garcia started Game 3) starter - Mulder Game 5 (if Johnson started Game 3) starter - Mulder Game 5 (if Garcia started Game 3) starter - Prior Confused yet? It will make sense as you sim it out, trust me. Bullpen spots Mopup Reliever 1) Ben Weber 2) Matt Anderson 3) Kyle Farnsworth Middle Reliever 1) Matt Anderson 2) Octavio Dotel 3) Kyle Farnsworth 4) Chad Bradford Setup Men 1) Chad Bradford 2) Octavio Dotel Closer 1) Jason Isringhausen As for my schedule: I will make myself available today, but I would prefer if you would wait until the evening to get started as I need to do some school stuff this afternoon. But by 7 tonight, I will be in chat unless some unforeseen emergency comes up. If I don't show by 8, go ahead and sim up to the point of elimination. As for the rest of the week, I have things going on every night, but I should be in chat by 9 each evening, except possibly on Tuesday. I would prefer to be in chat when my team is facing elimination, but I will have to see how things play out.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: Toronto Blue Jays Lineup vs. LHP+DH 1.) RF Bubba Trammell 2.) 2B Orlando Hudson 3.) C Tom Wilson 4.) 1B Carlos Delgado 5.) SS John-Ford Griffin (oh yes, he can play there, oh yes) 6.) LF Shannon Stewart 7.) 3B Eric Hinske 8.) CF Vernon Wells 9.) DH Josh Phelps And one small amendment to the lineup vs. RHP+DH, if you'll indulge me: 8.) DH Jayson Werth, not Shannon Stewart.
Demote to AAA 2B Josh Wilson CF Will Smith RF Jason Stokes SP Mark Redman MR Geoff Geotz MR Kevin Olsen Starters Game 1: R Justin Wayne Game 2: L Dontrelle Willis Game 3: R A.J. Burnett If Game 4 is an eliminiation game return to top of the rotation and wait for me If not: Game 4: L Luke Hagerty put Brad Penny in the bullpen - mopup #2 LINEUP VS LHP : 4) L Roosevelt Brown Leftfield 7) R Juan Pierre Centerfield Move Brown to leftfield and then start Pierre for the demoted Stokes. After all this Auto the lineup order - should move Pierre to the top of the order I guess
I noticed that you released the wrong guy in Charles Lindsay, a MR. Can you please bring him back to my team and release Cory Linney instead? Also, I need you to release Mark Grudzielanek who is in AAA. Finally, have Garcia start Game 3. I won't be able to come into chat until after 8:30, probably closer to 9. You can sim Game 3 without me, but if I lose it, I want you to wait on me for Game 4 as I will need to figure out who to start.
