He's up to at least 1880 straight atbats without a home run. His last home run came in 2040 as a member of the Mets. Other than maybe CF Hal Green (UBL) 32yo, $450k, R:6/1/6 D:8 I don't remember a player who could possibly go 2000 straight atbats without a homer.

Here is the list of hitters with the most consecutive atbats without a homer in MLB history

Sunday, January 1st, 2045:Chicago (N) Cubs left fielder Ken Mitchell got another setback today. His doctors informed him that his injury was not responding as well as they hoped to treatment and that he would be need more time to rehabilitate. If all goes well, they expect Mitchell to be ready to go within 5 months. He told BNN, "I didn't expect a torn anus to take this long to heal."]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 20:05:02 +0000 http://united-baseball.org/board/index.php?/topic/14985-trouble-in-chicago-n-mitchell-suffers-setback/ http://united-baseball.org/board/index.php?/topic/14971-yankees-offseason-shakeup/

RF Mike Jenkins (UBL) 27yo, $11.0M, R:8/6/5 D:9 - 27 yr old Mike Jenkins has improved every season until finally breaking out this season. He hit .308 and slugged .500 with 30 hr's and 20 sb's while providing excellent defense in the outfield. A true 5-tool gem. He is still in arby.

P Pat Smith (UBL) 33yo, $6.5M, R:5/8/5 - Pat Smith led the Gamblers with a 17-9 record and 3.45 era with over 200 innings pitched. He is not the sexiest or flashiest, but he continues to produce year after year. He is signed for a reasonable $6.5 mil for next season only.

Going to shake up the team and accept offers that include prospects. With the budget decrease and not a lot of ammo to add to the existing team I am willing to move all players for prospects.

Wont say total blow up rebuild because I may get fired for that but the right offer comes along no one is untouchable.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 16:59:50 +0000 http://united-baseball.org/board/index.php?/topic/14956-boston-offseason-block/ http://united-baseball.org/board/index.php?/topic/14977-asexpos/

I would like to deal a couple of these guys for Catcher/Infield/Pitching prospects.

A couple are on the cusp of being ready for the majors and could possibly provide cheap help for this season with good upside. A few are further off.
