At the beginning of the 2012 SIMBL offseason 'SIMBL Steroid Bumps' were implemented into the SIMBL. Each season after Spring Training and before Opening Day, the teams with the ten worst records from the season before can improve a positional player of their choice one point (ten 1-100 points) in each current category. A player of any age can be improved mulitple times up to his total potential and no more than that. The team can pick one player each season to do this to. Positional players only. No pitchers.

Example:

A player with the following current talent levels can be increased below:

'Pre-Steroid Bump' Ratings: 5/4/3/6/5
After 'Steroid Bump' Ratings: 6/5/4/7/6
Total Potential Talent: 8/6/7/7/7

But no more than the Total Potential Talent the player has.

These implementations have been made to add competiveness to the league to the teams that are struggling all the while in keeping with the fiscal responsiblility that we focus on in the SIMBL. Quite frankly, if you don't manage your money and payroll expenses, then these advantages won't be utilized by your team. Even though the SIMBL has pretty leinient financial rules, the bottom line is still to manage your money so that your team can compete.

HUGE SL BLOW: BLUE SOX ACE RAMIREZ OUT FOR REST OF SEASON

SIMBL ERA Leader's Injury Will Have Major Impact On SL Title Chase;  SIMBL Legend Finishes 18-3 With Record 1.84 ERA

 

Birmingham's title hopes took a severe hit after losing SIMBL great Pedro Ramirez (above) for the season with a torn ligament in his throwing elbow in 2015 SIM 23.  Ramirez was enjoying the best season of his illustrious and SIMBL Hall Of Fame-bound career as he was the leading SL HOTY favorite with a 18-3 record and a SIMBL record-to-be 1.84 ERA.

Monday 8/24/2015: Birmingham 's Ramirez out for the season

BIRMINGHAM - Birmingham 's right-hander Pedro Ramirez experienced probably the worst case scenario for a pitcher, a season ending injury. After pitching in the 4th inning of the game against Portland, Ramirez complained about serious pain in his throwing arm. He had to leave the game. After x-rays were taken the diagnosis did not surprise many: Torn Ligament Elbow. Surgery will be performed next week. Pedro has a record of 18-3 this season, with an ERA of 1.84. In 176 Innings he was able to strike out 165 batters. He's 1st in the Syndicate League in ERA and 2nd in wins!

Ramirez, one of the all-time greatest pitchers in SIMBL history, is having another 'Pedro' season and perhaps his best in his career.  The 8/9/9 rated 33 year-old ace was the leading SL Hurler Of The Year candidate before his season-ending injury.  Ramirez was obtained in a bold trade by 'Sox GM Jason DeMarco earlier this season after Ramirez had spent his entire career with GM Mike Senn's Oregon Pioneers.  Ramirez's 2.57 career ERA is second all-time and his 163 career wins are fifth all-time. 

As it stands, Ramirez's 1.84 ERA this season will be the lowest ERA in a season in SIMBL history.  San Diego's Bobby Grimes' 1.86 clip last season is the current record.

Grimes and Ramirez combined have thrown seven of the lowest ten season ERA's in league history.  Here are the Top Ten lowest season ERA's in SIMBL history to date:

1.86 Bobby Grimes SD '14
1.87 Michael Arnett NY '08
1.92 Pedro Ramirez ORE '14
1.92 Bobby Grimes SD '13
1.92 Bobby Grimes SD '12
1.98 Raul Vargo CAR '13
2.01 Walter Lopez BEN '08
2.05 Angel Rodriquez ORE '13
2.05 Pedro Ramirez ORE '13
2.15 Pedro Ramirez ORE '10
2.16 Richard Dicks MAR '09
2.17 Marcus Dinges BKN '13
2.21 Bobby Grimes SD '11
 

'WOLVES GM WARE BARKS AT BLUE SOX FOR BEANING OF HIS SUPERSTAR RYLES

SIMBL Commish Commends San Diego GM On 'Oscar-Worthy Concern' For Birmingham's Ramirez Injury

 
Some SIMBL GMs are calling San Diego GM Paul Ware's concern and condolences for Birmingham GM Jason DeMarco's Blue Sox, after losing their ace Pedro Ramirez for the season, an 'Oscar Award winning performance' by the 'Wolves boss.

 

San Diego superstar Daryl Ryles (above) breaks his bat against Birmingham's Kelvin Miller.  A pitch later, Millers plucked Ryles with a fastball sending the Warewolves' eight-time MVP to the DL for two weeks.  'Wolves homer GM Paul Ware of course was quick to blast Miller and is campaigning for a league suspension of the Blue Sox reliever.

In a matchup of pitchers facing their former teams, Birmingham SP Claude McNeely faced off against San Diego rookie Bruce Tucker and although the Warewolves crushed the Blue Sox 14-4, McNeely spoke to SIMBL reporters saying his heart just wasn't in it after seeing the Sox's Pedro Ramirez tear his elbow ligament the game before.

Apparently, Birmingham middle reliever Kelvin Miller decided the best thing to do was to headhunt "The One", the 'Wolves' eight-time MVP Daryl Ryles, to get some satisfaction for his Blue Sox teammates.  Ryles is out for two weeks following the beanball.

"Well, I for one say he (Miller) should get suspended for as long as Ryles is out!" yelled 'Wolves homer GM Paul Ware.

"I will be talking to the Commish about Miller and if I have anything to say about it he will be suspended.  There is no place for such stupidity in our league and game," explained Ware. 

"Certainly our hearts go out to Ramirez and his family.  He is a great pitcher and had a super season, a Hulrer Of The Year-type season in my opinion and (Blue Sox GM) Jason (DeMarco) is a great owner who has balls and class.  But, Miller's move was straight out of the UL, balless.  We just don't play that way in the SL," barked Ware, pretending to show sadness for his SL rival's big loss for the rest of the season of one of the best aces in the SIMBL.
 
Ryles, as usual, had no comment but team doctors said the bruise to his wrist will likely keep him out of the lineup for about 6 days.  Backup infielder Larry Galusha is likely to be inserted in the lineup to play 3B while Ryles recuperates. 

Galusha has been on fire as of late and what the Warewolves give up in offense wil be made up with Galusha's super range and arm.

SIMBL Commisioner Christian DeMarco, who has clashed infamously with Ryles throughout the last decade, had no comment but snickered, "Paul could've won an Oscar today with the remorse he displayed for Jason and his Blue Sox's loss of Pedro for the year."

SIMBL TIDBITS:  Bend's James Mahaffey is nine home runs away from joining San Diego's Daryl Ryles, Jacksonville's Glenn Knapp and the retired Eddie Meas in the elusive 300 HR/1000 RBI/1000 BB/1000 Runs Scored Club.  Boston's Dominick Lund, Calgary's Taitarou Haranobu and Hartford's Kenny Blumberg are also closing in on 300 career taters.  San Diego's Buster Tate is next in line to reach 1000 career RBI, with 27 more runs batted in to go to reach the milestone that only ten other players have achieved thus far in SIMBL history.
