Really, the point isn't so much how successful they are as much as "oh boy, we already know we'll get cookie teams in OLs but now here are two guys who ONLY submit cookie teams." It's frustrating that there are people out there who have reputations of only submitting cookie teams. Think about how silly that is, that among all the hundreds of WIS players, there are four or five guys who are known only for that. e: upon checking, ligapelota actually has us both beat in champs/teams ratio.

This is a good league that will probably end up being pretty interesting/hard. Anyone in?

That league is going to see a lot of HoJo, Raines, Gavvy, Bargain Babe, etc. I bet it's actually pretty redundant.

What would you be looking for if you were trading this guy? I had someone tell me I was asking way too much.

His problem is that he is absolutely not a catcher unless he's a Burrellballer, which cuts your trading pool in half. His age, health and makeup are not a good combo for reaching his full potential, which dings him, too. He's a nice asset but he certainly has flaws. What kind of return were you asking?

It was definately too much, a good young 2B and a young No.3/4 starter. I'm probably overcompensating for the Hansen debacle. I'm in the NL so I've got no use for him, I guess I'll just troll through the AL teams and see what they'd like.

Mordecai HBD world needs a new player anyone interested? You have to be an owner with experience to get into this world, they are a little picky. It is an excellent, very friendly extremely balanced world. There is a fair amount of trading too.

The signing messages are still the best. "We're taking your great offer. If my math is correct, you just bought me half a million HBD teams on WhatIfSports. I love that game." (note: this guy's math is horrible, i signed him to a 1-year contract for 750k)

So here are my champs and chumps years. 1967AL, 1968NL, 2002AL. and 2010NL. I'm leaning towards 67AL for the pitching and Yaz.

ugh the quadruple AL is forcing me to pick between peak Gorman Thomas, peak Robin Yount, and peak Paul Molitor '79, '83, '87, 2006 AL is a really weird draw e: these starting pitchers are really bad. even worse than the 1979-1983 AL team I have in another league saffi faildotter fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Mar 18, 2012 |

Sure the 68NL pitching is better, but I think the 67champs are a better all around team. Feel free to tell me i'm an idiot on this.

Dilemma time: - 1987 AL Champs gets me some fun players. Specifically, peak Molitor and Alan Trammell. - 2006 AL Champs gets me a pitching staff that isn't a heap of trash. The tradeoff is something like Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, Joe Mauer, and '87 Clemens for '87 Molitor, '87 Trammell, '87 Jimmy Key, and '06 Travis Hafner. I think I have to go with '06 AL champs.

I really can't decide between 67 or 68. The pitching is better for 68, but I think the overall team is better for 67.

2005 Champs gives me a rotation of 2005 Pedro and Chris Carpenter and 1969 Fritz Peterson and Andy Messersmith, I have to go with that. Unfortunately, I've got no usable shortstops whatsoever. I guess 87 Randy Ready's setting up at 2B and 2005 Utley's handling SS.

I was poking around Zodiac league and this has to be the worst underperformance maybe of all time http://www.whatifsports.com/mlb-l/playerprofile.asp?ID=33612608&pl=0&type=1 Through 139 games, 1953 Al Rosen (real life: .336/.422/.613, 43 HR, costs $10,150,298) is hitting .238/.286/.326 with 11 home runs

It's bad but it's honestly not all that surprising. His true slugging is almost 100 points lower than his SLG#, it has been a pretty home run suppressed league so his 6 HR/100# isn't going to do poo poo for him, he doesn't hit anything else but singles, really, and he's only average-ish at drawing walks. I mean, when '31 Babe Ruth only has 22 home runs thus far, a guy whose "best" hitting attribute is his 6 HR/100# is in trouble. I'd argue that my Eddie Cicotte is just as bad or worse.

Meanwhile '52 Stan Musial has 18 home runs (21 in real life, 3 HR/100#) and '04 Honus Wagner is 4 doubles over matching his real-life totals in doubles, triples, and home runs (44/14/4 in real life, 48/14/4 in-sim) Really my only disappointment is 1940 Dolph Camilli

If I do '96 NL Champs, I get a rotation with Smoltz, Maddux, and Nomo, but I lose access to Barrold. If I do '02 NL Champs, I get Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, and '96 Kevin Brown, and access to either Skinny Barry or Swole Barry. Decisions, decisions.
