ORIGINAL: SirWolf1960 I am a fictional guy. I understand that when you play fictional, you don't have a clue who these guys are. But they develop a personality. Take my aging right fielder. I aquired Thomas Graves in a trade, and he went from the ML bench of Toronto, to my AA team. The next year, he was ready for the majors, and has been anchoring right field ever since. He is now 38 years old, and approaching 600 home runs. I know I have a younger guy who would probably would produce more now. But how do you bench a guy who has 6 mvp's to his name? The fans would never stand for it. I imagine him receiving standing ovations every time he comes to the plate. Fictional players' names also can give the guys personality. My closer right now is named Jesus Swanson. His nickname? I had to call him "The Savior." Can you imagine it getting to the top of the 9th, and the PA announcer yells, "HERE COMES THE SAVIOR!!!"??? I had a starter named Brain Sanchez once. I know it had to be Brian mispelled, but since his SP rating was never above a 30, I figured he just had to pitch with his head. Yup, to me, it's fictional all the way. Steve I understand what you're saying, Steve. That "Savior" bit is pretty funny. [:D] Reminds me of Charlie Sheen's character in "Major League". He comes out of the bullpen, wearing his new horn-rimmed glasses, and over the PA comes Joan Jett's version of "Wild Thing". That's one of my favorite movie moments. [;)]
