FB is so thin everywhere. One injury will probably sink us. It's going to be a fun year trying to shuffle around and plug guys in who can contribute.
It's the SL so I still expect to make the playoffs.

Buffalo will probably win around 85 games or so.
Could make the playoffs, or could be a game or two short. It'll probably come down to the last sim, where there will be 5 guys vying for the 4 spots.

Kabul (92-70)
Buffalo (88-74)
San Fran (87-75)
North Dakota (85-77)
False Bay (83-79)
Buenos (80-82)
Little Rock (77-85)
United Kingdom (67-95)
Miami (55-107)
I think Kabul will win the division with around 92 wins, and 2-4 will be neck and neck between everyone else with 80-88 wins.
Miami, LR, and UK could be around 70-77 wins. Miami maybe in the 55-65 range.

Because there's so much parity.
And wins the whole thing apparently.
85 wins and no playoffs for me.
I think the riggers should be in that fighting for the playoffs zone again. Was initially a bit worried that I hadn't improved enough (while teams like Cairo, LRM, SF, etc) were all getting better, but then I signed Robles and I think that should help make my starting lineup pretty solid.
I think both Robles and Jose Rivas should also pitch well in the sphere. Dave Meyer is coming off a great year and Terry Morgan is coming off a solid year. Hopefully I'll get a better year from my young pitcher Freddy Ramos, who struggled last season. DOG is solid but never great. That should give me 6 capable or better SPs and then I've still got Jesse Wiseman in the bullpen ready to give me some way better than his ratings would predict starting pitching if one of them struggles. Bullpen is going to be interesting, as it could be a year of flux if Esteve Montes can't play well at closer. Francisco Garcia has never really lived up to his hype. I've got a good Loogy and a good setup guy, so that is decent at least.
Lineup/Depth Chart wise I should have a pretty solid defensive team and the lineup looks well built as well. The biggest question marks will be if Quentin Magnanti can repeat his performance from last year (played way better than ratings)and if Julio Manuel can fight off his MS for another year. I also wonder if Mulia Kusuma and Pedro Chavez can rebound from down years and if Roosevelt Gonzales can have a good rookie campaign at DH and 1B. I've got good depth in the infield and can withstand an injury or two in the infield or pitching departments, but if I take an injury in the outfield it might be a bit dicey. Fortunately I signed that HG dude, and he could play LF if necessary. I swapped my backup catcher for a guy who looks about as objectively good, but has a better bat against LHP, which I think will give me more roster value since I was always short on pinch batters against LHP.
I'm hoping for 85-90 wins this season.

I think the top seven are a wash. Well I think Vegas is likely a shoe in for the playoffs, but I think 6 teams will play for the other three spots.
Poor @Rutgers Mike. @Yankee151 doesnt even bother to list Berlin.

pre-season predictions aren't out yet.
Those are broke dick, they aren't based on actual sims.

Dont feel bad, I did the same thing yesterday...
The ones on the website are dated 2052.
We always run predictions on opening day right when we pull exports. Then we get predictions with opening day rosters.
Also @Everyone, opening week is Saturday night. I can try to live sim if people are around, but dont want to waste my time if they arent.

Have mercy
Tanners' goal is 90 wins. Four win improvement, but if starting pitching regresses to the mean, gonna be fighting to be .500. Honestly, just want to get in the playoffs again where anything can happen.
My 3 year old walked in while I was setting AA lineups. "Is this the Tanners?"

Before I landed ROBLES, I was actually considering a move to a 4 man starting rotation with pitch limits because I have a fair number of relievers with good stamina now to bridge the gap. Now that I have ROBLES I think I've got a solid starting 5.
Frazer Wenden would prolly wreck shit up for you outta the pen
Just checking all my guys contracts and extensions and what not. Clicked Felix Alvarado. Dude has played in the league for about 1.2 seasons. Possible arbitration coming after this season. Hes requesting a 9 year deal. Not even permissible by our bylaws, haha. I've never seen that. Caniliac the same. He wants 7 years.

I ran a 4 man rotation in '45 and we made the playoffs. I had three great pitchers (Bob Nichols, Dr Sad, and Paco Duran), one decent starter (Albert Farias), and an elite closer (Black Magic). It worked well, but it killed Paco's career and he was only healthy for about half the year anyways. I pieced together the rotation for a lot of the year because my guys kept going down. I also didn't do a pitch count.
I definitely think it could work - I think SF showed that you don't need the traditional five man to win - but unless you did low pitch counts I'd worry about the long term effects.

I'm way out of touch. What kind of setup did the Tanners run?
I've considered going to 11 position players. 8 starters, a backup Cather and 2 super utility guys.
Then running with a 14 man staff with low pitch counts for starters (except Bish). I've got a surplus of pitching now but not GOAT level guys. I think some of them can be serviceable for 3-4 innings a game though.

What's the loss record for a non-obvious tank season?
