I have to add in 1B Eddy Acevedo to the mix of players that can be traded for. He has been making a quick rise through my system and is seemingly ML ready right now. If you want to talk about a trade just e-mail me soon as I am sure he will be moving quickly.

New home
Hey folks:
You should all have gotten an email from me earlier this afternoon, but in case you didn't or if you check this first --
We've moved. I offered to host the league pages on my server space, and from there, we just pushed everything over to the same place. Hopefully it'll be easier -- you'll only need one address to access everything (oel.bjones.net): League pages, past champions, contact list, blog, anything else we come up with.
Once again, I sent each of you an email to the address I had on record. It has your username and password in order to post and comment. If you didn't get it, leave me a comment here or email and I'll check things out. Please check out the site -- any issues you find, suggestions you have, whatever, leave a comment on the Welcome post I made this afternoon or email me. It's Wordpress, which is pretty self-explanatory to use, but it may be new to you, so if you need any help with it, just shoot me an email and we'll figure it out.
Thanks,
Brent (Cairo)

Sim #7 Completed: Socratic League Tightens
It's May 6. In the Platonic League, Pittsburgh has opened up a 5.5 game lead over its rivals. Frequent trading partner Cairo stands in second, 1.5 games clear of Miami and 2 up on Stockholm.
Meanwhile, in the Socratic League, Marietta clings to a slender half-game lead over Jersey City and New York. Defending champs Brooklyn have closed to within two games of first place and Gainesville stands only another half-game back. With five teams within 2.5 games of the lead, it looks like a wild race in the Hegel Division.
On the injury front, the only injury was a doozy, as Helena lost reliever Martin Volpe for two months to a torn bicep.
In other news ...
Cairo's young catcher William "The Whammer" Byrd and Jersey City's Basil Gomez captured Player of the Week honors.
On May 1, Cairo demonstrated its need for new closer Ariel Santos as it blew a four-run ninth inning lead to Marietta and lost 6-5 in ten innings. Unfortunately, Santos and Desilva are still in transit, apparently stuck on a snag in the river.
On May 2, Maryland's Baltasar Acevedo gave up just one hit in eight innings in a 4-1 victory over Helena.
On May 3, Cairo pounded Jersey City 11-0, featuring eight shutout innings from Bryan Im.
On May 4, Gainesville rode Lenard Ramirez's eight shutout innings to a 5-0 victory over Miami.
On May 5, Stockholm's Robert "Ogre" Mccree and Cairo's Rafael "Cricket" Palermo, two of the most promising prospects in the game, each clubbed two home runs to lead their teams to victory.
In other news, we're hopefully nearing a solution on hosting the web pages for the league. I'll be testing it later tonight, so check the comments.
League file is uploaded. Nate's got the next sim on Monday.

2005 Draft Lottery
Just for giggles, here are the current lottery odds, based upon everyone's current record and using the top secret formula selected by the league commissioners.
Cairo - 12.02%
Maryland - 10.85%
Miami - 6.20%
Pittsburgh - 2.71%
Stockholm - 12.02%
Sylva - 12.40%
Brooklyn - 4.65%
Gainesville - 7.75%
Helena - 13.57%
Jersey City - 6.01%
Marietta - 6.98%
New York - 4.84%
The actual lottery will be conducted following the sim ending on May 31, 2005 and using the standings at that time. Also, remember that all 12 positions will be determined by lottery. None of this namby-pamby-first-three-spots only BS.
So, keep dreaming everyone.
P.S. I can't believe I came up with a system where I got a whole 2.71% chance of the first pick. I suck.

Desilva and Santos take a trip down the river
The Cairo Leveemen, currently in the Platonic League's wildcard slot and 4.5 games behind the leading Pittsburgh Pisces, today attempted to shore up its pitching staff with the acquistion of starter Wilfredo Desilva and closer Ariel Santos, both of the Pisces. In exchange, Cairo ships off middle reliever Dominique Peters and triple-A short stop top prospect Danilo Henriquez. In the deal, Cairo also snagged Pittsburgh's 1st round pick in the 2006 draft.
The Leveemen, smack in the middle of PL pitching with a 4.99 ERA, hopes to add some consistency to its starting rotation with Desilva, coming off his best season yet in 2004 with a 13-7 record and a 3.59 ERA.
Closer Ariel Santos makes a welcome return to Cairo. Pitching in 9 Pisces wins this season, Santos has received saves in eight of them. Over the 8.2 innings, he's compiled an impressive .071 offensive average, allowing just two hits. His 0.00 ERA, 0 homers or walks allowed, 2.08 hits per 9 innings, 2.08 runners per 9 innings, .23 WHIP and the OAVG are all league-leading statistics for relievers. A 2003 and 2004 All-Star, Santos was drafted in the 4th round by Cairo in 2001 and traded to Pittsburgh in July 2003 for starter Chuck Finger. Cairo regrets the error.
Dominique Peters, a 24-year-old middle reliever, accumulated a 2-11 record with 12 saves for Cairo last year, with 1 win and 2 saves so far in 2005.
18-year-old shortstop phenom Danilo Henriquez is batting .313 for Cairo's triple-A affiliate Danville Dans. Henriquez tops the monthly Baseball America Top 100 Prospects report released May 1.

Sim #6 Complete! Draft Pool Now Available!
In another great first for the OEL there is now a draft pool available for the June draft of amateur talent! While the order of drafters will not be available for a month the players are now available for inspection and review. Go get 'em, boys!
In pennant race news this sim Marietta and Pittsburgh remain in first in their respective leagues while the wildcard races remain competitive. In the Platonic League Cairo holds the top spot for the second spot with three other teams within three games. The Socratic chase is even tighter with Jersey City and New York now tied for second with and Gainesville and Brooklyn less than three games off the pace.
Several minor injuries this sim including Pittsburgh's Amador Zaragosa who somehow bruised his wrist while running the bases. You're doing it wrong, Amador!
In standout games this sim we find on April 27 New York pitcher James Weiler tossing 8 innings of 6 hit, no walk ball only to see his team lose to Stockholm 3-1 reliever Corchado blew the save by allowing 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth! Ouch!
The other standout performance was by starting pitcher Bobby Lowry of Marietta. On the 29th of April Lowry threw a complete game one-hit shutout against Sylva. Lowry lost the no hitter when the first batter in the ninth poked a single through the infield. The Marietta hurler struck out eleven while walking one to turn in the second best pitching performance of the year so far!
Get out there and study the draft pool, players! The list can be seen on the OEL menu under 'Draft Pool'. The next sim is on Friday by Mack! Be there!
