This is what you get when you play service times games with Mountcastle.

Can't say I'm surprised. 

Now watch the next CBA make the manipulation meaningless.

The more you look at the options the more you realize this team's offense without Mancini and Mountcastle early on is pretty weak. Heck, I've already had to bat Rio Ruiz 3rd.

We’re 2-4 in mine. Do you know how we can get Mancini back in the sim? Will he be back at some point this season or can we make it happen? I couldn’t find him in the game but I’m still learning it and may have missed an injured list or something.

How long until you break down and try to acquire some help?  Or are you going to go full Elias and just stick it out?  In my sim Carlos Beltran is still active at 42 (and wasn't bad at 41), and he's just sitting there on the free agent list, asking for way too much money.  At least in my universe there are always a few free agents hanging out, hoping for an injury or a weak-willed GM into April.

If you're not playing challenge mode you can just edit his injury status back to healthy, or only a few days left injured/IL'd.  Then give him a rehab assignment to make things realistic.

If you're in challenge mode I think you're stuck with whatever the game gives you.

If you can't find him, just enter "Mancini" in the search box at the top.

If you are playing as the 2020 Orioles you are playing challenge mode.

I think that is the Extreme Challenge mode.

I'm trying to be as realistic as possible so I put him on the 60 day DL when he was listed as out for 4-weeks by the sim. I'm hoping real baseball will be back or preparing to get back by that time and we'll have some news on him, but I'm guessing he was going to miss all of this year or at least a good portion.

No, I'm going to search the waiver wire and put guys like Givens, Cobb and Bleier on the trading block and hoping to get decent offers. I've already executed a waiver claim on a pitcher and will announce that today before tonights game.

Why is Chris Davis starting against LHP in the sim and playing both ends of a doubleheader? 

[atomic]

Pat Valaika – 2B

Andrew Velazquez – LF

Don't even know who these guys are.

Gotcha, I finally found the injured list and see his status. I will likely take him when he's available in the game haha. I might call Mount up around that time too so it probably means the end for Davis (1-21 with 9 K's so far). I'll have to figure that out.

Davis has been awful for me as well.
