Season 8 has already started out with huge signings and big trades! We've had an All Star SP go down for the season and in the middle of the first official Hall of Fame voting.
Breaking News #1
Spike Logan going to Scottsdale is a huge deal.. I think Scottsdale plans on winning another title this season.. On the pace they are on, They just might..
Breaking News #2
Bernie Alvarez goes to Washington D.C. , Since the season started and the team has been under the ownership of optistrat they have been signing some huge names and building a rather good team.
Breaking News #3
Hoss Collins is out for the season.. Montgomery might as well just start planning for next season.. Unless they find a way to sign or trade for another Pitcher the caliber of Collins I highly doubt they have much of a chance to win 100 games.. Fortunately for them the division is still rather weak.

Free Agency Continues....

Doubleday Daily
The latest batch of big named stars to sign:
1.) Helena: Robert Robinson (SS)-5 time All Star being paid 99mil/5yrs. Robinson a heck of a deal and being paid what he deserves being one of the best all around players in the world.
2.) Jacksonville: Oswaldo Navarro(1B)-2 time All Star and S7 MVP signs for 94.8mil/5yrs. This guy is the shit! Navarro has the potential to be the worlds all time leading slugger by the end of his career if he stays healthy.
3.) Salem: Miguel Alou (SP)-2 time All Star signs 100mil/5yrs with 2 mil bonus. Can't blame Salem for this signing! Alou being added gives them a chance to win the division!
4.) Cincinnati: Izzy Harris (1B)- 2 time Gold Glove 1B signs 11.7mil/3yrs. Last season's HR Drought hurt Harris but his bat seems to be improving every season! Look for him to post big numbers this season.

Season 8 Free Agency news!!
Opey Higgins
Doubleday Daily
The last 2 days of Free Agency has been exciting to say the least.. You have some major stars going places you would've never thought they'd end up. Owner Jubalado of the Boise Steelheads signed P Rickey Grimsley, Grimsley is 81-62 career with a 3.66 era. The 1 time All Star was unable to be reached for comment.
P Rafael Pena is going BACK to Durham! Different franchise however.. Pena a 4 Time All Star, and former 2 time Cy Young winner hasn't slowed down at the age of 36 he still managed to win 17 games last season. Pena may have been a great bargain for $37.5/3yrs.
Montreal picked of 2 huge free agents! Dan Hudler and Homer Vance! Both of these players are going to pick up the offense. Hudler has the highest career OBP. in the world and Homer Vance is tied for the most hits in a single season. Montreal went and sold everyone last season to gain some prospects and now they blow up and buy 2 of the more expensive Free Agents in the world.

Season 8 is here!
Opey Higgins
Doubleday Daily
Doubleday Headquarters, MO
We've officially started season 8 here in Doubleday! First I'd like to talk about new owners that have come into the world! Toledo was bought by optistrat and the team was moved to Washington D.C., The 3rd city this franchise has seen. Expect good things to happen this season as optistrat brings new ideas and strategies to the team. This season we have had 2 former Doubleday owners return but not to their former teams! Former Trenton Hoffa's (Detroit Wolverines) owner bobkordecki has bought out the former San Francisco franchise! And moved the team to Helena! Very experienced owner should help that franchise continue it's dominance. Also we've had Jubalado former Oakland Oaks (Iowa City River Bandits) owner has purchased the former Ottawa franchise and moved it to Boise! Not sure why Boise, but I guess he has his reasons..We also have sergei1991 buying the former Texas Colts team and moving them to Durham. I wish all of you luck in Doubleday!
OTHER NEWS:
1. Stiller has been banned from posting in the World Chat it seems...
2. Philly is trading everyone! Look for big trades to go down!
3. Dubs would blog chat if he wasn't at work!
4. Doubleday's first HOF nominations can take place this season!
5. Rootgargle of the new Cincinnati franchise is looking to move David Ortiz!
6. Congrats to Austin again for winning the World Series!

Playoff Prediction!
Opey Higgins
Doubleday Daily
Doubleday Headquarters, MO
I'd like to make predictions for the remaining playoff games starting off with the Richmond vs. Pittsburgh Divisional Play-in Series.. Tied at 2 games a piece I feel Pittsburgh has the slight edge. I think the game changer will be Izzy Harris of Pittsburgh! Izzy has been batting pretty well in the series and I think he's ready to blow up.
Division Championship Series
Philadelphia vs. Jacksonville
Philly has the more explosive Pitching staff and what appeared to be a better offense.. Both teams are definitely a hard draw in the playoffs.. If I have to pick anyone here it would be Philly based on the fact they've never been to the World Series.
Salt Lake City vs. New York
Salt Lake City won a division dominated by Montreal for just about every season.. This season they managed to overcome the huge season of Seattle. Now they play a team that has 3 MVP candidates, 1 Cy Young candidate and a ROY candidate! New York is simply amazing and I plan on seeing them take out Salt Lake City even though I'd love to see the AL North win the World Series.
Scottsdale vs. Cleveland
This is the 4th trip to the playoffs for Scottsdale and the first for Cleveland! Both teams posting franchise record win seasons.. I would love to pull for Cleveland but I think Scottsdale's pitching with just be too much!

Denver,Colorado
Daniel Brantley has 193 hits in 144 games.. The single season record held by Homer Vance is 217.. Can Brantley break the record? With just over 14 games to go and only needing 25 hits I think it's doable.. We'll keep watching as this unfolds.
