The fifth and final installment of our series of interviews with Plumpy's remaining original owners!

1.) What do you do in real life?

I am an administrative hearing officer (attorney) at a state agency.

2.) How did you learn about HBD?

WIS advertising and a forum post entitled HBD for HDers.

3.) Who is your all time favorite ballplayer in Plumpy?

Miguel Rojas. Don't get me started on why he hasn't gotten more HOF run.

4.) What is your proudest moment in Plumpy?

Winning over 100 games in season one followed by losing twice in the World Series.

5.) Which player is your proudest draft pick?

Joey Niese

6.) What is the most devastating injury one of your players incurred?

Cyrus Castillo in season 25. Started 6-1 with a 2.59 ERA through 12 starts and then hurt his elbow. Was never the same after the surgery.

7.) What is the most overrated rating on a player card?

In terms of offense I think contact can be overrated especially if the player has a lot of power or good splits. For pitching I think it is groundball/flyball ratio.

8.) What is the most underrated rating on a player card? 

Durability

9.) Do you have a nemesis in the league (either another owner or a particular player?)

In terms of an owner it is Jerico since he is an original owner who has been in the same division since the start. Plus he is Canadian.

No particular player since Todd Ford retired. I always had to remember to change my intentional walk settings when playing Montgomery,

10.) As one of five owners who was here on day 1 of the league, how do you think Plumpy could improve going forward?

I think the minimum win rules were a step in the right direction. Perhaps some of the more experienced owners can help mentor some of the new owners as the game is deep and can be frustrating.
