This is my first crack at a Giants dynasty in the '09 season. I'm using MVP Baseball 2005 with the MVP 2008 Total Conversion Mod. If you don't like the game, don't follow. It's as simple as that. I don't need douchebags posting in my thread about how shitty the game is. I will have rosters and all that fun stuff up in 10-12 hours. By the way, I put fair trades off because the CPU is dumb. The CPU rejects a trade that would give the CPU Jake Peavy and me Chan Ho Park. They would reject it because Jake Peavy has a higher salary than Park's. If any of you guys have played MVP, you know what I'm talking about.​

Why thank you.

Sweet, an MVP 05 dynasty. That game has some advantages over The Show. You playing on PC?

Haha. I love MVP 05. Brings back memories, but yeah I'm playing on PC.

Sweetness.

MVP is the best baseball game of its time and some by far, (still haven't checked out The Show but I will soon). Following

Definitely have to agree on that. The gameplay is not as good as The Show, but the things that you can do with MVP is unbelievable. I like The Show, but it gets boring for me sometimes. Good to see that you are following, though.

San Francisco Giants Top 3 Prospects

3. SP Tim Alderson

Tim Alderson was drafted in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft. He was drafted in the 1st round by the Giants. The Giants drafted Madison Bumgarner before they drafted Tim Alderson. Alderson is an above average pitcher and should be the 3rd or 4th starter in the rotation in the future for the Giants. Alderson has good control, along with a mediocre fastball. The best part of Alderson is his curveball. That is his best pitch and he can use his curve to get out of jams. Although his curveball is good, he still needs to develop it. If he develops it properly, that will be a dangerous pitch for him that could get him the majority of his strikeouts.

2. OF Rafael Rodriguez

The Giants made noise last year when they signed one of the Dominican Republic's best players. Rafael Rodriguez and Michael Inoa both went to California teams. Rodriguez went to the Giants, while Michael Inoa went to the A's. Rafael Rodriguez has a lot of hype in him. He is a 17-year old kid that will be an excellent player in the future. He has great pop in his bat, along with good speed. He also has a great Outfield arm. You could call Rodriguez a “5-Tool” player if you wish. He's got it all. Although, he does have weaknesses. He is still very impatient at the plate, as he swings at pitches that are out of the strikezone and gets walked very little. Rodriguez should flourish into a great Outfielder for the Giants and should be a large part of a dangerous future Giants lineup that will include Angel Villalona, Pablo Sandoval, and Buster Posey.

1. SP Madison Bumgarner

Madison Bumgarner was drafted i10th in the 2007 MLB Draft. The Giants saw that Bumgarner had the potential to become an ace in the future. Bumgarner is not a power pitcher, but a control pitcher. He has flashes of Greg Maddux in him, as he can paint the corner with such ease. He can hit the gun at about 95 miles an hour with his fastball, but his weakness is mainly his movement. He has trouble with his curve and his change. Those are the pitches that hitters can usually get hits off of. If Bumgarner works on his movement, he will be an ace in the near future.​

rodriguez and alderson better prospects than posey?

 

[T.Dot]

So beautiful.

 

[Mit]

looks nice

Thanks.

rodriguez and alderson better prospects than posey?

Eh. I guess not, but I realized that I forgot Posey after I wrote the scouting reports for Alderson and Rodriguez, so I was like fuck it.

dont really like that Giants but that game was fucking sick. I loved playing that game on the PS2..haha
ima be a follower for sure.

Haha. Giants lineup is terrible, but their rotation is killer. I never did play the game on PS2, but PC version is sick.

So beautiful.

I love MVP and still have it on PC as well.

Haha. Yeah, man. It's a great game. I haven't played it in a while, so I will be pretty rusty.

Manny And Company Rough Up The Freak In Opening Day Win

San Francisco, CA - This game was a good one for the Dodgers. It wasn't such a good one for Tim Linecum. Linecum was cruised through the first 5 innings, where he had a no-hitter going. He faced trouble in the 6th. He allowed 5 runs in the 5th and 2 more in the 6th. During these two innings, he allowed homers to Manny Ramirez, Russell Martin and Casey Blake.

Chad Billingsley pitched well for the Dodgers, as he only allowed 2 runs in 6 innings of work. The Giant almost came back in the 9th inning. They scored 2 runs in the 9th, as Aaron Rowand and Travis Ishikawa both had RBI Singles. Rich Aurilia came into pinch-hit with two men on base and two men out. Aurilia had the chance to tie the game up with one swing of the bat, but instead, he flied out to end the game.
