I'd like to move Dennis Martinez to fifth starter, Schilling to fourth, Todd Worrell to setup, and Luke Appling back to starting SS. If we actually got Chris Young, he should be long man, in lieu of Warneke. Send down Gene Garber; DL Passeau. As to draft preferences, I suggest Josh Hamilton in the first (Willie Mays is imploding, unlike in the Expansion), and a starting pitcher in the second round. (I expect enough SP will go ahead of us as to make it not worth drafting a fifth starter in that spot, but a bottom-rotation guy in the second would suit, probably ~Tiant/Hoyt). Send down McDowell to get his control under control, Crowder to the rotation, LaMarr Hoyt came up as a reliever, and shall be my 7th inning guy now. Draft Preferences 1st Round: LF Rickey or better Cap'n Jetes SP Clifton Phifer Lee or better 2nd Round [first pick]: (the above) SP Dock Ellis or Better 2nd Round [second pick]: RP Eck-Betancourt (no Bob Johnson) SS Cronin/Furcal BPA

: Okay, where were we? Right, Adam Dunn had been fighting the Three True Outcomes when Cyber-Dunn came from the future to fight them off and then tell Adam Dunn that it was up to him to save the world from Richie Sexson. And then Dante Bichette attacked! That brings us to Episode Three: Day of the Dunn, Part Three! Okay, so Dante Bichette attacks with his deadly Coors Effect attack, which sucks away oxygen from the air or however that works in Denver. Anyway, Dunn and Cyber-Dunn retreat, not knowing how to deal with this new foe. Cyber-Dunn leads Adam Dunn to his secret lair, which is located underneath the Forest Glen Metra Station. Cyber-Dunn explains that he transported parts of his future lair to the present in order to help him help Adam Dunn defeat Richie Sexson. Adam Dunn is still skeptical that any future cyborg version of himself is going to be helpful, though. That's when Cyber-Dunn gives Adam Dunn the NeyerBat, a baseball bat crafted by Rob Neyer himself and said to imbue its wielder with supernatural, but statistically significant, powers. Then they get an alert that Dante Bichette is attacking Lincoln Park! To be continued! Games of the Week Don May posted:

Box Score Don May posted:
Box Score Analysis You've got the Unicorns next week and the Bangers the week after. Time to prove you really deserve those championships. Analysis Your biggest problem is that Adam Dunn is your fourth-best hitter. Analysis Andy Messersmith was a fine pitcher. There's a reason the Dodgers were willing to go to arbitration to keep him, after all. Analysis Free Valenzuela! Analysis Wes Ferrell's back. Analysis Wait, why is Joba starting for you? When has Joba starting worked out for anyone? Analysis Just imagine how great the Bangers would be doing if they actually starting hitting like they're supposed to. Analysis Getting (slightly) better. You need another starter and your bullpen to be less than a complete and utter disaster. Analysis Hell, both you and I know this is ending in a early round Gauntlet loss and a dispersal draft with a surplus of relievers. Analysis If you want to have a smallball team, you need the kind of players the Doppel-Bangers had, with Raines and Henderson and Cobb. Joe Kelley isn't going to get it done. Analysis I think Howard goes to right field and someone on the bench goes to left field. Analysis There's a good chance you'll get Ted Williams in the draft. It's not going to solve all of your problems, but it will solve a lot of them. Analysis Carlos Zambrano isn't doing very well. As a Cubs fan, this is not news to me. Analysis The Machine rolls on. Analysis Much like CM Punk, the Saints had a good run, but things are heading off the rails. Analysis There are (nominally) six of you guys. I'm sure at least one of you can come up with a plan to fix this mess.

The rest of my #5 starters are a combined 1-8 & my only other option is Coveleski who'd put me over the limit for deadball starters. Joba didn't even lose that start, Neshek blew it and if anybody deserved forgiveness, especially now, it's Pat Neshek.

quote:Analysis I agree and am only slightly worried by the seven walks in the "Upstate Beatdown." Just a note that my roster moves, draft picks and some talking points for the Bearer owners are immediately above the update. I will add that since Schilling is also disintegrating, we might want to just double up on starters and chuck Dale Murphy out into center. I'm disappointed in Kiner; he's had a depressed average since we started operations, but the power to make up for it isn't really there. Which of my passel of spare corner outfielders can play left best?

Which of my passel of spare corner outfielders can play left best? Short answer...none of them really. Fortunately, there's also a long answer. Looking at Kiner's splits, he's actually doing okay against left-handed pitchers. So, ideally, if you can find him a left-handed hitting platoon mate, that would be ideal. It happens you have a few options there, with Lankford, Drew and Averill all fitting the bill. Unfortunately, Mogul hates you and has decided that neither Lankford or Drew would be any good in left. So, unless you want to move Berkman to LF against RHP, the path of least resistance appears to be Averill platooning with Kiner.

Guess I will put Joe Medwick back into left field and then move Frank Howard over to right field once again. Have a question for you Smasher. How much of a disaster would it be if I put Paul Molitor into the shortshop position? I'm noticing that Trammell has slipped a lot offensively this season. However he's been defensively solid by how the stats look and don't want to lose more runs from defensive errors then I'd gain from the better looking bat Molitor has right now. Assuming the answer is "Do it and I'll kill you," I'll make this new lineup to move Trammell down the order. 3B Jimmy Collins CF Chet Lemon RF Frank Howard 1B Mark McGwire LF Joe Medwick 2B Charlie Gehringer C Ernie Lombardi SS Alan Trammell Pitcher

Draft Preference Bonanza! Willie Stargell's sore, huh? Send down Pop and stick Bobby Murcer in left for the week. Round 1: Dennis Eckersley (OK, fine, I'd take Ted Williams, I GUESS), then Rickey Round 2: Top 9 RP, Joe Sambito quote:Hell, both you and I know this is ending in a early round Gauntlet loss and a dispersal draft with a surplus of relievers. Yeah, but new teams can always use more top-tier relievers (and third basemen, I guess), right? I'm sure they'll be in no way scarred by this experience. Jimmie Foxx appears to have died at the plate, but it seems facile to draft to replace him, given the team. Ugh. Better pitching seems indicated, but I'm not sure anyone's going to look good in front of this D. I kind of want to draft Killebrew to be a super-utility guy. Well: Ted Williams Nolan Ryan Tom Seaver Johan Santana Harmon Killebrew Derek Jeter Cliff Lee Pedro Martinez JR Richard Top 5 RP Chipper Jones Edgar Martinez Adam Dunn Willie Stargell Grady Sizemore Max Carey Best Pitcher remaining with a modern K%

Molitor's a weird player. He had the athleticism to play a bunch of different positions, but also had a tendency to injure himself when playing in the field, and it's not like he was a great fielder at any position anyway. All of that being said, you can get away with him at third, and second if your desperate. Putting him at short, though, is probably asking him more than he can deliver.

Two months in, and I can't say I'm dissatisfied with the way the season has gone. May could have been a bit better, I suppose, but I guess I don't really need to be that great of a team to win this division. poo poo, I'm the only one even above .500 at this point.

Smasher, I think there's been some confusion as to what picks the Mooglies have in the Super Draft. As best I can tell, here are the deals that I made involving picks (with the picks I have in parentheses): - Acquired the Saints' picks for 1911 Harry Krause (Mooglies 1 2, Saints 1 2) - Traded the Saints' second round pick to Cthulhu Dreams for 2003 Jose Valverde (Mooglies 1 2, Saints 1) - Lost the Saints' first round pick on a failed challenge for 2010 Ryan Braun (Mooglies 1 2) - Acquired the Landers' second round pick in the Collins-Ripken deal (Mooglies 1 2, Landers 2) - Lost the Landers' second round pick in a failed challenge for 2007 Dustin Pedroia (Mooglies 1 2) - Reacquired the Saints' second round pick from the Splinter Cells (I don't know how they got it) in the Delahanty-Key deal (Mooglies 1 2, Saints 2) So as far as I can tell, I should have both of my picks, as well as the Saints' second. If I've missed something, let me know; sorry for the confusion.

Given our rising (plummeting?) draft position, it now behooves us to go SP in both rounds, starting whoever we get immediately in 4th and 5th slots. We also need to platoon Lofton and Murphy in center, start Appling at SS, and use Worrell at setup. Dennis Martinez is a patch for the injured Passeau.

cbx posted:He's also the lead for the Radbourns. Just saw that. I'm trying to figure out the year.

cbx, that really saves me some time but, and let's call it intuition, I think the Bangers will take a catcher with their own first-round pick, and pick players in the second-round in the following orders: SP Spahn or better (this seems unlikely) Joe Cronin Willie Randolph Votto/Giambi Reliever. Not Remlinger. And then, just a wild guess, I think the Phoenixes' exact preferences are: Brett/Chipper Killer/Papi/McGwire Fred Lynn (why does Mogul hate Josh Hamilton so?) SP Spahn or better --Second round: See above. Votto/Giambi (please don't draft two 1B) Cedeno/Sizemore/Carey Reliever. Still not Remlinger. Or Dolf Luque, actually.
