Using pick #29, and supposing we survive the final round of the gauntlet, the Easy W's submit the following list of draft preferences: 1951 Yogi Berra (FHQ) 1975 Joe Morgan (NEW) 2004 Jeff Kent (FHQ) 1978 Mike Schmidt (SJT) 2001 Alex Rodriguez (SJT) 1982 Robin Yount (DRC) 1999 Robb Nen (HIL) 1997 Robb Nen (NEW) 1982 Rollie Fingers (FHQ) 1968 John Hiller (MCB) 1972 Mike Marshall (FHQ) 1989 Jeff Montgomery (NEW) If by some chance all of these are gone, then we would like the best available pitcher instead.

McQueen League Divisional Series The Cultists are owned by a swaggering Australian, who has come to the SuperLeague unburdened by sentimentality or any attachment to a particular team. No, CthulhuDreams has unreservedly embraced the cold, unyielding domain of baseball statistics, and in just a few short weeks he has proven himself to be both willing and able to convince otherwise sane owners into agreeing to terrible trades. Tom Henke, Walter Johnson, and Christy Mathewson were all added for pittances, and the Cultist's rotation, when healthy, is one of the most formidable in the Expansion Cup. It's his lineup that has the other owners worried, though, because CthulhuDreams has ascribed to a simple, but unnerving, strategy: simply get the best player ever at that position, and put him on the field. With Foxx, Banks, Musial, Hornsby, Sandberg, and Speaker, he's come pretty drat close. But pride comes before the fall, and countless owners before him have seen their grand designs collapse in a run of terrible luck. Will the Cultists pay the price for their hubris? Or will their terrifying power translate into an unstoppable juggernaut in the Super-League? Sunken R'lyeh Grounds R'lyeh, Outside of Time and Space The Sunken R'lyeh Grounds will host games 1, 2, 6, and 7 of this series. The Goose Eggs have never been a favorite in anything they've tried. First, back when they were based out of Petaluma, they were summarily relegated after a season of futility. Then, their owner Armitage nearly went bankrupt last season and had to suspend team operations. This year, Armitage swears, is the Goose Egg's year. The numbers in the win column, however, suggest otherwise, as the Goose Eggs are the only team to reach the playoffs without having won at least 100 games. A weak Johnny Hopp division, and some incredible swings of luck granted the Goose Eggs a playoff berth, but no-one would suggest they look likely to beat the Cultists, or the winner of the Taggart League. Still, they have an underrated rotation, and an excellent team defense. They'll need it, because their lineup is nothing notable, and they're going up against the spinning sawblade that is the Cultists... Tommy Vercetti Memorial Stadium Vice City, Floria The Goose Eggs will host games 3,4, and 5 of this series. Game One Turd Ferguson posted:

Super-League History: Super-League V Top Five Storylines 1. Marauder wins both leagues, credits victory to smart planning, unrelenting devotion to evil! 2. SuperSonics win 104 games, hold Intercontinental and European Belts for 18 weeks! 3. Factorialite ushers in 'alt account' era because he's terrible like that! 4. Young guns take control of Dynamo League with first of second-year teams taking three of four playoff spots! 5. Sharks finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally do something right! Awards Dynamo League MVP: Jimmie Foxx (CLN) Smasher League MVP: Ted Williams (NEW) Dynamo League Cy Young: Deacon Phillippe (CLU) Smasher League Cy Young: Greg Maddux (IDA) Reliever of the Year: Goose Gossage (CHO) Summary Click for the obit (where available) With the retirement of the Skyhawks after Super-League IV, the Memento Mori Division was due for a change. It didn't really get one. It's true that, for the first time ever, the division was actually competitive, with the four teams separated by only three games by the end of the season. But, TKBomber's new team, the Phantoms, picked up right where the Skyhawks left off, winning the division and giving TKBomber a fifth straight division championship as an owner. As for the other three teams, the Forgettables, Power Rangers and Wanzers were all deeply flawed teams that still gave it all they could, and were rewarded for their efforts by getting relegated in record speed. Team Leaders Batting Average: '35 Joe Medwick (.324) On-Base Percentage: '66 Frank Robinson (.376) Home Runs: '29 Jimmie Foxx (20) Runs Batted In: '66 Frank Robinson (101) Stolen Bases: '66 Luis Aparicio (20) Wins: '89 Frank Viola (14) Earned Run Average: '35 Dizzy Dean (3.10) Innings Pitched: '28 Pete Alexander (196.2) Strikeouts: '66 Jim Palmer (116) Saves: '78 Dennis Eckersley (14) Team Leaders Batting Average: '19 Eddie Collins (.331) On-Base Percentage: '19 Eddie Collins (.402) Home Runs: '08 David Wright (28) Runs Batted In: '49 Stan Musial (121) Stolen Bases: '19 Eddie Collins (28) Wins: '05 Addie Joss (17) Earned Run Average: '05 Addie Joss (2.88) Innings Pitched: '05 Addie Joss (241.0) Strikeouts: '05 Addie Joss (117) Saves: '08 Billy Wagner (35) Team Leaders Batting Average: '84 Tony Gwynn (.311) On-Base Percentage: '84 Tony Gwynn (.357) Home Runs: '62 Orlando Cepeda (17) Runs Batted In: '62 Orlando Cepeda (86) Stolen Bases: '93 Lenny Dykstra (21) Wins: '13 Pete Alexander (12) Earned Run Average: '93 Curt Schilling (3.22) Innings Pitched: '13 Pete Alexander (241.1) Strikeouts: '93 Curt Schilling (195) Saves: '84 Goose Gossage (23) Team Leaders Batting Average: '49 Joe DiMaggio (.309) On-Base Percentage: '49 Joe DiMaggio (.384) Home Runs: '49 Joe DiMaggio (36) Runs Batted In: '49 Joe DiMaggio (100) Stolen Bases: '88 Craig Biggio (14) Wins: '85 Roger Clemens (15) Earned Run Average: '85 Roger Clemens (4.00) Innings Pitched: '85 Roger Clemens (236.0) Strikeouts: '85 Roger Clemens (207) Saves: '82 Rollie Fingers (27) Everyone was a winner in the Vae Victis Division in Super-League V. That is, every team finished with a record above .500, not that such a strong performance prevented the bottom half of the division, the Murderbots and Emperors, from having to fight it out in the Gauntlet. The Emperors fought their way through, but the Murderbots' four-season existence ended with their relegation. On top the division, new clubs, the second-year Oranges and the rookie Losers, both made the playoffs, showing promise for the future. Team Leaders Batting Average: '05 Nap Lajoie (.350) On-Base Percentage: '07 Albert Pujols (.386) Home Runs: '60 Roger Maris (27) Runs Batted In: '07 Albert Pujols (109) Stolen Bases: '05 Nap Lajoie (21) Wins: '91 David Cone (19) Earned Run Average: '91 David Cone (3.70) Innings Pitched: '91 David Cone (236.0) Strikeouts: '91 David Cone (199) Saves: '04 Billy Wagner (36) Team Leaders Batting Average: '28 Frankie Frisch (.292) On-Base Percentage: '??

Martin Dihigo (230.2) Strikeouts: '83 Ron Guidry (147) Saves: '83 Goose Gossage (28) The Bangers had struggled in Super-League IV, and had to fight through the Gauntlet to survive. By Super-League V, they had recovered from splitting their roster between the Finger-Bangers and Doppel-Bangers and retook their rightful position as champions of the Sic Transit Vir Division. The Unicorns, seemingly unable to keep up with the powerful Bangers team, and fell back into second place. The Postmodernists, outclassed though they were, did do the best they could with the roster they had, even if they could not avoid relegation. As for the Stevie Mitch Specials...well, they did exactly as well as a team named after Brooklyn Bruiser to do. Team Leaders Batting Average: '59 Yogi Berra (.314) On-Base Percentage: '91 Barry Bonds (.396) Home Runs: '91 Barry Bonds and '98 Vladimir Guerrero (25) Runs Batted In: '98 Vladimir Guerrero (112) Stolen Bases: '91 Barry Bonds (22) Wins: '79 Don Sutton (17) Earned Run Average: '24 Dazzy Vance (2.86) Innings Pitched: '79 Don Sutton (226.0) Strikeouts: '??

Of course, they followed that up with a 11-1 postseason, so perhaps it was more smoke than fire. The Sharks returned to the Super-League for the third time, and managed to win the wildcard, a great accomplishment after the monumental failures of the first two incarnations of the team. The Leprechauns returned for their second season in the Super-League, and even Johnny Hopp couldn't save them from relegation this time. Oh, and the London Calling were there. Briefly. Team Leaders Batting Average: '08 Ty Cobb (.314) On-Base Percentage: '89 Rickey Henderson (.369) Home Runs: '89 Rickey Henderson (18) Runs Batted In: '08 Ty Cobb (116) Stolen Bases: '89 Rickey Henderson (107) Wins: '85 Bert Blyleven (17) Earned Run Average: '71 Don Sutton (3.20) Innings Pitched: '50 Don Newcombe (246.2) Strikeouts: '85 Bert Blyleven (176) Saves: '75 Rollie Fingers (32) Team Leaders Batting Average: '39 Ted Williams (.314) On-Base Percentage: '39 Ted Williams (.418) Home Runs: '39 Ted Williams (35) Runs Batted In: '39 Ted Williams (118) Stolen Bases: '85 Rickey Henderson (72) Wins: '75 Vida Blue (15) Earned Run Average: '24 Red Faber (3.85) Innings Pitched: '39 Lefty Grove (217.1) Strikeouts: '95 Roger Clemens (186) Saves: '89 Jeff Montgomery (31) Team Leaders Batting Average: '92 Tony Gwynn (.321) On-Base Percentage: '44 Stan Musial (.378) Home Runs: '06 Robinson Cano (20) Runs Batted In: '44 Stan Musial (100) Stolen Bases: '92 Tony Fernandez (28) Wins: '86 Dwight Gooden (13) Earned Run Average: '79 Ron Guidry (3.67) Innings Pitched: '72 Jim Palmer (223.1) Strikeouts: '79 Ron Guidry (174) Saves: '77 Bruce Sutter (35) Team Leaders Batting Average: '10 Robinson Cano (.282) On-Base Percentage: '10 Jorge Posada (.352) Home Runs: '10 Josh Hamilton (26) Runs Batted In: '10 Josh Hamilton (81) Stolen Bases: '10 Elvis Andrus (14) Wins: '10 C.C.

Sabathia (190) Saves: '10 Neftali Feliz (42) In yet another down year for the Senor Goodtimes Division, the Bobbleheads were able to take another Senor Goodtimes title with little difficulty. factorialite, in a bizarre scheme, the goals of which have never been adequately explained, decided to abandon his Juggernauts for a season, running the new Dinger-Machines instead, with mixed results. The Orchids and Clippers were both offenses to all that is good and true, and were quickly expunged from the league after the season. Team Leaders Batting Average: '91 Mark Grace (.302) On-Base Percentage: '91 Mark Grace (.353) Home Runs: '06 Alex Rodriguez (23) Runs Batted In: '06 Alex Rodriguez (103) Stolen Bases: '06 Derek Jeter (28) Wins: '06 Mike Mussina (14) Earned Run Average: '06 Mike Mussina (3.63) Innings Pitched: '91 Greg Maddux (226.2) Strikeouts: '91 Greg Maddux (150) Saves: '79 Goose Gossage (42) Team Leaders Batting Average: '99 Nomar Garciaparra (.299) On-Base Percentage: Home Runs: '??

Satchel Paige (210) Saves: '99 Robb Nen (30) After three seasons of frustration, the SuperSonics finally broke through in Super-League V, winning the division in a walk. Even better for them, this coincided with the worst season in Eazy W's history, sending the South Bolton club to the Gauntlet, which they would end up surviving. The 2nd-place finisher, the Burma Imperialists, were also survivors, and even the Idaho Potatoes, who had looked so shaky during most of the regular season, had themselves a spirited run in the Gauntlet before falling short in the penultimate round. Truly, it was a great season for the division as a whole. Team Leaders Batting Average: '29 Mickey Cochrane (.286) On-Base Percentage: '29 Mickey Cochrane (.363) Home Runs: '95 Ken Griffey, Jr. (31) Runs Batted In: '95 Ken Griffey, Jr. (111) Stolen Bases: '21 Kiki Cuyler (32) Wins: '94 Pedro Martinez (18) Earned Run Average: '03 Rube Waddell (2.86) Innings Pitched: '59 Bob Gibson (226.2) Strikeouts: '94 Pedro Martinez (210) Saves: '89 John Franco (45) Team Leaders Batting Average: '11 Eddie Collins (.309) On-Base Percentage: '11 Eddie Collins (.355) Home Runs: '51 Ralph Kiner (31) Runs Batted In: '51 Ralph Kiner (98) Stolen Bases: '11 Eddie Collins (21) Wins: '??

Taggart League Championship Series As the second hat that owner Notthatsambeckett has entered into the fantasy fantasy baseball ring, the Polyarny version of his Postmodernists appear to be substantially superior to his earlier effort. The key to his team's success can be traced to his careful, if not exactly original, assembling of players who are almost without exception incredibly speedy baserunners or excellent contact hitters, or both, and his rotation of mostly deadballers, all of whom play and pitch within a cavernous expanse of a ballpark. Visiting teams see their offenses smothered, and teams hosting the Postmodernists are unable to stem the constant hemorrhaging of base hits and stolen bases. Only two question marks can honestly trouble Notthatsambeckett at this point: First, the Postmodernists played in the least competitive division in the Expansion Cup, and beating up on the likes of the Bearers, the Saints, the Unspecifieds, and the Longshots does not exactly translate into a playoffs steamroller; Second, the Super-League is a far harsher environment than the EC, where a Doppel-Bangers Jr. might run into its conceptual parent, and be destroyed. The Sub Pen Polyarny, Murmansk Oblast The Sub Pen will host games 3, 4, and 5 of this series. First time owner gingemidget's Daydreamers did not emerge as playoff favorites until later in the year, when everyone realized they had an excellent pitching staff and the most powerful lineup in their division. While most non-DH teams are stereotypically associated with baserunning and defense, gingemidget took Earl Weaver's words to heart: Earl Weaver posted:Team speed, for chrissake! You get fuckin' goddamn little fleas on the fuckin' bases getting picked off, trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get them big cocksuckers that can hit the fuckin' ball out of the ballpark and you can't make any goddamn mistakes. Hit the loving ball out of the ballpark indeed. The Daydreamers led the pack with 181 home runs, most in the Taggart League. Now, power will meet speed, and regardless of the winner, the Goose Eggs are almost certainly doomed. Trethowan Park Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria Trethowan Park will host games 1, 2, 6, and 7 of this series. Turd Ferguson posted:

For this post, I am making the following assumptions: 1. The Postmodernists win the Taggart League Finals 2. Neither Doop nor thened ever show up again 3. The Old Hoss Radbourns win the vote in the other thread 4. I don't finally snap and destroy the entire Super-League in a fit of pique Okay? So, let's do this: Round 1 1. Idaho Potatoes - '?? Josh Gibson (C) Comments: The easy pick, and the right pick 2. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 3. Antarctic Unspecifieds - '39 Ted Williams (LF) Comments: Another easy pick. 4. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '01 Alex Rodriguez (SS) Comments: A-Rod can outhit Aparicio/Andrus/Campaneris combined. Of course, you do lose a bit of fielding, but, who 30 HRs is certainly worth it. 5. Comments: Upside too high not to give him a shot, especially since your top option is currently Brooks Robinson, who can't really hit. 6. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 7. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '51 Yogi Berra (C) Comments: I don't know if this is a pick you really need to make, especially since Buster Posey is probably going to win the MVP this year. Granted, he hasn't been doing great for you, but still... 8. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 9. Second City Saints - '60 Whitey Ford (SP) Comments: Incidentally, Whitey Ford was famous for enjoying the nightlife, so he'll be an interesting addition to the Saints, I guess. 10. Great Googly Mooglies - '98 Ivan Rodriguez (C) Comments: I'm sure a catcher who never draws a walk and doesn't hit for power that often will be a great addition to you club! 11. Madison Mudholes - '95 Roger Clemens (SP) Comments: Clemens has always been solid in the Super-League. This is a good pick. 12. Ted Sox - '51 Willie Mays (CF) Comments: Mays was good for the Oranges way back when. He'll be good again. 13. St. Paul Bearers - '06 Mordecai Brown (SP) Comments: Is this the end of the Doyle Alexander experience? gently caress, I hope so. 14. Portland Bulldogs - '35 Joe Medwick (RF) Comments: TKBomber gets another ex-Phantom for his team. 15. Ryleh Cultists (from Vice City Goose Eggs) - '78 Steve Carlton (SP) Comments: Pride goeth before the fall, Cthulhu. 16. Lombard Street Gumshoes - '85 Rickey Henderson (LF) Comments: Well, it'll shore up your outfield at least. 17. Rated R Superstars - '01 Ivan Rodriguez (C) Comments: If all you've got are Molinas, then I-Rod must look like a fantastic hitter. 18. Ryleh Cultists - '64 Ron Santo (3B) Comments: More Cubs for the Cultists. That's very unfortunate for you. 19. Polyarny Postmodernists - Some player from the Sonics 20. Barrow Daydreamers - '75 Joe Morgan (2B) Comments: Saved by the Goog Sandwich Picks x1. Luna Landers - '39 Bobby Doerr (2B) Comments: Not sure if you wanted Doerr or Brett to play 3B. Then again, '89 Brett can't really play third, so, I'd go with Doerr. x2. Ryleh Cultists - '64 Billy Williams (LF) Comments: You want a LF that can make an impact, then Billy Williams will have to do. And yes, that means another Cub! And now you have three players from the old Electrics on your roster (Santo, Williams, Walker)! And if there were ever a team cursed, it was them. I mean, their owner went on to become an internet video critic! Burn, Cthulhu, burn! Ha ha ha! My villainy knows no bounds! Round 2 21. Idaho Potatoes - '62 Willie McCovey (1B) Comments: Good value pick. 22. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 23. Antarctic Unspecifieds - '04 Carlos Beltran (CF) Comments: Another team saved by the good! 24. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '89 Kirby Puckett (OF) Comments: Even if Josh Hamilton were perfectly durable, you'd still want an upgrade in the outfield. 25. Comments: With the understanding that he goes to DH, and Stargell goes to left. 26. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 27.

I wish to offer my third round pick to the Radbourns in exchange for '77 Rick Reuschel and '97 Andy Pettitte. They're not world-beaters, but you could use another pick to shore up your

This is a team built around two issues: Straight Edge, and Respect. Now, being Straight Edge has cleared my mind. While my team may not HISTORICALLY be Straight Edge, each of them has promised me, personally, that they would stay Straight Edge for the duration of the season. They have agreed to embrace this, and this will help them more than any performance enhancing drug ever could. Now it's time for respect. We all agree that we deserve respect. We are made up of some of the best in the world and we intend to go out there and prove it. I intend, every week, to earn respect. The St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series to earn respect in 2011 for their eleventh championship. The New York Yankees have won it twenty-seven times. They deserve respect for that. The Boston Red Sox won it in 2004 and 2007, bring their total championships up to 11. The White Sox, the team who owns the stadium the Saints play in, won it for the third time in 2005, and the Cubs... ...wait. They haven't won in over 100 years, have they? They haven't even made it in sixty-odd years! I guess they're just losers. Second City Saints Roster: (1960 Milwaukee Braves 1992 New York Mets 2003 Colorado Rockies 2003 Montreal Expos 2005 New York Mets) No-DH CF: 2003 Carlos Beltran 3B: 1960 Eddie Mathews/1992 David Wright LF: 1919 Joe Jackson RF: 1960 Hank Aaron C: 2005 Mike Piazza (1960 Del Crandall catches for Whitey Ford and Dizzy Dean) 1B: 2003 Todd Helton/1960 Joe Adcock 2B:2003 Jose Vidro/1992 Jeff Kent SS:2005 José Reyes DH CF: Carlos Beltran 3B: Eddie Mathews/David Wright LF: Joe Jackson RF: Hank Aaron C: Mike Piazza (Del Crandall catches for Whitey Ford and Dizzy Dean) 1B: Todd Helton/Joe Adcock DH: 1992 Bobby Bonilla 2B: Jose Vidro/Jeff Kent SS:José Reyes Bench: 1. 2005 Cliff Floyd Minors: 2003 Mark Bellhorn 2003 Orlando Cabrera Draft Whitey Ford Pedro Martinez 1960 Warren Spahn Dizzy Dean From Phantoms Draft Bob Lemon(/whoever I get as my second SP) Relievers: CL: Dennis Eckersley From Phantoms 2005 Heath Bell Setup 2003 Brian Fuentes Short 1992 John Franco Short 1960 Don McMahon Mid 1911 Harry Krause (From Mooglies) Long Minors: 1960 Juan Pizarro Best in the world.

I am totally in concurrence with those picks for the Radbourns; thanks for doing that. Especially glad to get Mike Marshall, who I planned to target for theme. If it is permitted, I would obviously accept Goodwin's deal. e: I would gladly offer tatankatonk half ownership in the Radbourns.

Also, after careful consideration, I've decided that the tensions between the old guard and the new corporate owners must be resolved the only way I can think of...outright war. Whichever block of four teams has the higher collective winning percentage at the end of the next season will all automatically survive to the next Super-League. As for the losers, they will form the first round of next season's Gauntlet, guaranteeing at least two of them are relegated. The two teams are: Marauder's Marauders Florida Oranges Fukuoka Finger-Bangers Juneau Juggernauts Luna Landers Superstars, LLC Great Googly-Mooglies Portland Bulldogs Rated R Superstars Ryleh Cultists

Making the same assumptions, I'm fine with Nen and Dickey. If I get screwed out of Robb Nen, take '19 Eddie Cicotte, since I can't imagine anyone else taking him, so easy for you.

Mock draft assuming the Ted Sox Pick Mays AKA holy gently caress I sympathise with Smasher now Smasher will probably hate me for this, but let's go! I'm assuming that the 1st draft, the changes, and the 2nd draft represent the changes in players preferences. Changes are highlighted in bold. I think the draft comes out something like this: Round 1 1. Idaho Potatoes - '?? Josh Gibson (C) 2. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 3. Great Googly-Mooglies (from Antarctic Unspecifieds) - '39 Ted Williams (LF) 4. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '01 Alex Rodriguez (SS) 5. 6. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 7. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '75 Joe Morgan (2B) 8. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 9. Second City Saints - '60 Whitey Ford (SP) 10. Antarctic Unspecifieds (from Great Googly Mooglies) - '51 Yogi Berra (C) 11. Madison Mudholes - '95 Roger Clemens (SP) Everything above this line is unchanged! 12. Ted Sox - Willie Mays '51 Comments: And the change in preferences beings here. 13. St. Paul Bearers - '06 Mordecai Brown (SP) - or Carlton if their defense sucks. I went with brown because he's 29 and Carlton is 33. 14. Portland Bulldogs - '35 Joe Medwick (RF) 15. Ryleh Cultists (from Vice City Goose Eggs) - '78 Steve Carlton (SP) - or Brown. 16. Lombard Street Gumshoes - '85 Rickey Henderson (LF) 17. Rated R Superstars - '98 Ivan Rodriguez (C) - Superstars get Rodriguez the younger. 18. Ryleh Cultists - '64 Ron Santo (3B) 19. Polyarny Postmodernists - Some player from the Sonics 20. Barrow Daydreamers - '89 Kirby Puckett (CF) Sandwich Picks x1. Luna Landers - '39 Bobby Doerr (2B) - Back to Bobby Doerr x2. Ryleh Cultists - '01 Ivan Rodriguez (C) Okay, the orginal draft had me picking billy Williams at this point and '01 Ivan Rodriguez (C) falling to my second pick. But that seems, unlikely, so let's assume I have to take him here. So at this point Billy Williams goes into the draft, and we enter round 2. Round 2 21. Idaho Potatoes - '62 Willie McCovey (1B) 22. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 23. Antarctic Unspecifieds - '82 Robin Yount (CF) 24. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '04 Carlos Beltran (CF) 25. 26. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 27. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '36 Chuck Klein (OF) - This is why Oxbridge had already preferenced, and as he's preferencing Gibson and poo poo, I assume that is absolute and he doesn't want billy. However, there is a possibility that he does, in which case he picks him here. 28. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 29. South Bolton Eazy W's (from Second City Saints via Great Googly-Mooglies) - '99 Robb Nen (RP) 30. Great Googly Mooglies - '66 Brooks Robinson (3B) 31. Madison Mudholes - '49 Red Schoendienst (2B) 32. Ted Sox - '66 Jim Kaat (SP) 33. St. Paul Bearers - '04 Lance Berkman (OF) If Oxbridge takes Billy, these guys want him over Chuck. 34. Portland Bulldogs - VACATED 35. Vice City Goose Eggs - Some player from the Sonics 36. Lombard Street Gumshoes - '87 Eddie Murray (1B) 37. Rated R Superstars - '54 Larry Doby (CF) 38. Ryleh Cultists - '64 Billy Williams (LF) I get him here instead! No-one else wants a left fielder. If Oxbridge takes him though, Chuck falls to the bearers, and I get Lance Berkman instead. Woooo. As we can see not much changes. Unfortunately, this is not be be the case for much longer and I lack Smasher's incisive eye for these matters. At this point, Mickey Lolich enters the draft, leading to two scenarios: A) The Postmodernists keeps Nen B) They take Lolich. This is predicated on them taking Nen. If he doesn't.. a lot changes. Scenario A: Postmodernists Keep Nen 39. Polyarny Postmodernists - '97 Robb Nen (RP) 40. Fukuoka Finger-Bangers (from Barrow Daydreamers) - '82 Rollie Fingers (RP) Round 3 41. Idaho Potatoes - '68 Willie Horton (LF) 42. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 43. Antarctic Unspecifieds - '89 George Brett (3B) 44. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '68 Mickey Lolich (SP) - I'm pretty sure he's better than '24 Red Faber (SP), this kicks Faber down. 45. 46. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 47. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '82 Jack Clark (OF) 48. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 49. Second City Saints - '24 Red Faber (SP) - it's close, but I think Red is better than '46 Bob Lemon (SP) 50. Antarctic Unspecifieds (from Great Googly Mooglies) - '84 Lance Parrish (C) 51. Madison Mudholes - '46 Bob Lemon (SP) - A weird situation had arisen where the Mudholes are drafting two second basemen. This resolves that situation, and solves the larger draft issues. 52. Ted Sox - '66 Jim Palmer (SP) 53. St. Paul Bearers - '39 Joe Cronin (SS) 54. Portland Bulldogs - '37 Lefty Gomez (SP) 55. Vice City Goose Eggs - '60 Nellie Fox (2B) 56. Old Hoss Radbourns (from Lombard Street Gumshoes) - '95 Tim Wakefield (RP) 57. Rated R Superstars - '98 David Cone (SP) 58. Ryleh Cultists - '89 Jeff Montgomery (RP) 59. Polyarny Postmodernists - '43 Bill Dickey (C) 60. Barrow Daydreamers - '06 Adam Dunn (LF) Scenario B: Postmodernists take Lolich 39. Polyarny Postmodernists - 40. Fukuoka Finger-Bangers (from Barrow Daydreamers) - '97 Robb Nen (RP) Alas, the thread of destiny is broken and the Finger Bangers don't get Fingers. Unless they do want him in which case nothing changes except that Nen falls to the Superstars. Round 3 41. Idaho Potatoes - '68 Willie Horton (LF) 42. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 43. Antarctic Unspecifieds - '89 George Brett (3B) 44. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '24 Red Faber (SP) 45. 46. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 47. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '82 Jack Clark (OF) 48. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 49. Second City Saints - '46 Bob Lemon (SP) 50. Antarctic Unspecifieds (from Great Googly Mooglies) - '84 Lance Parrish (C) 51. Madison Mudholes - '66 Jim Palmer (SP) 52. Ted Sox - '37 Lefty Gomez (SP) 53. St. Paul Bearers - '39 Joe Cronin (SS) 54. Portland Bulldogs - '98 David Cone (SP) 55. Vice City Goose Eggs - '60 Nellie Fox (2B) 56. Old Hoss Radbourns (from Lombard Street Gumshoes) - '82 Rollie Fingers (RP) 57. Rated R Superstars - 1960 Billy Pierce (SP as BPA) 58. Ryleh Cultists - '89 Jeff Montgomery (RP) 59. Polyarny Postmodernists - '43 Bill Dickey (C) 60. Barrow Daydreamers - '06 Adam Dunn (LF) Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Sep 18, 2012 |

1st Trade Offer - Senerio: In the above scenario, it looks like Whitey Ford would fall to me if I swapped the Vice Eggs pick with Senerio for their first rounder and drafted Clemens (Mudholes draft Brown, Bearers draft Carlton and Whitey Ford comes again to Senario) so I offer the Goose Eggs first round pick and my third round pick to Senerio for their first round pick if I am correct in my assessment of the scenario above. The trade is conditional on Ford falling to the Vice Eggs pick, and if it doesn't, the picks are swapped back 2nd Trade offer - Ted Sox: Sell me your first round pick in return for my pick from the goose eggs - Number 15 and my third round pick. Willie Mays still falls to you ahead of MrNoun, and I get a pitching upgrade. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Sep 18, 2012 |
