 Send Bernie to the minors for Hamilton. Hamilton replaces Jones. I should probably rearrange the batting order at some point, but I'm sure A-Rod/Greenberg will remember how to hit eventually.

Okay, the Daydreamers-Juggernauts and Ted Sox-Radbourns trades are approved. Smasher League Week 12 Injury Report Still no new champions Chicago Bobbleheads Justin Verlander (SP) (Put out of his misery) - 21 days Comancheros Yogi Berra (C) (If you lose both teams, do I only have to do one obit?) - Out for Season Finger Lakes Phoenixes Bill Dickey (C) (When Plan B is Mike Piazza, a minor injury is a good thing) - 10 days Juneau Juggernauts Randy Johnson (SP) (Laugh with me, factorialite! Laugh with me and know that the Super-League will never admit you a single moment of joy!) - Out for Season Norfolk Splinter Cells Mike Piazza (C) (Inspired by the film adaptation of Clear and Present Danger, Piazza spent weeks building a plastic gun of his own. Eventually, he succeeded...and then accidentally shot himself in the foot) - 36 days Rated R Superstars Jhonny Peralta (IF) (Remedial Spelling Camp) - 10 days

The following post is paid for by the Idaho Potatoes PR Department. In cooperation with the University of Idaho, we would like to warn our local Potato-heads of a dangerous animal sighting in the Moscow area. A moose has been spotted on Taylor Avenue. Be cautious and give the animal proper space. Moose Courtesy * Never feed moose. * Give moose at least 50 feet. If it doesn't yield as you approach, give it the right of way. (Either retreat or walk way around.) * If its ears lay back or its hackles (the hairs on its hump) rise, it's angry or afraid and may charge; back off pronto. * Moose kick with their front as well as hind feet. * Don't corner moose into fences or houses. * If a moose charges, get behind a tree. You can run around the trunk faster than the gangly creature. * Never get between a cow and her calf. Thank you, stay safe, and GO TATERS! ---- Idaho Potatoes PR @IdahoPotatoesPR As an addendum to the above-linked warning, the rumors that we have signed the moose to a minor-league contract are untrue.

Here's my conundrum. I probably need a little more if I'm not getting both Foxxes, and I need the confidence that I'm getting both of them. So, I propose we table this until I can talk to Cthulhu and involve his guy. If I have 4, that's 1B/3B/LF/DH. Then, I can try for the last one to live the dream of just 1B/2B/SS/3B/C.

  : Right, lets get to it! Dunn Force, Episode Nine: The Code of the Scrapper, Part One! In his evil lair, Richie Sexson is still furious that Adam Dunn has defeated Carl Mays. But then, Mark Reynolds has an idea. He remembers that Adam Dunn only ended up in Chicago because a bunch of other teams couldn't deal with his sabermetric awesomeoness, and if they can get the people of Chicago to turn against Adam Dunn, then they win. Eddie Yost points out that if Dunn didn't get run out of town for the year he hit .155, there's really no way that they're going to get rid of him now. But Richie Sexson now has a plan of his own...what if he could replace Adam Dunn with someone more likable? Back at the youth center, Adam Dunn is teaching kids how to take a called third strike with authority when, suddenly, the television in the corner of the room turns to a press conference on WGN! David Eckstein appears on screen and announces that he's un-retiring from baseball and looking for a roster spot with the White Sox. A reporter then asks what skills he brings to the table, and Eckstein answers that he brings grit, hustle, determination and scrappiness, unlike certain other White Sox players. Dunn, realizing that Eckstein is trying to steal his job knows that he has to stop Eckstein before it's too late! On his way to U.S. Cellular Field, though, he gets waylaid by the Three True Outcomes, who explain that Eckstein's reappearance is just phase one of their plan to force Dunn to leave Chicago forever!

Box Score   The Numbers That Cut!      Analysis Valverde just sucks in every context, doesn't he?      Analysis I guess it's time to see what Joe Wood can do for you. Let's hope it's a lot because the Daydreamers could really use the help, especially since you didn't really have a replacement center fielder for Puckett.      Analysis Agony and ecstasy! On a serious note, though, most of your bullpen is either below-average or terrible.      Analysis One regret I have for the new playoff season is that without wildcards, the Unicorns are probably going to miss the playoffs. I feel bad about that.      Analysis You aren't having a good month, but the Generics aren't exactly the most threatening team in the world, and most of the trouble seems to be due to injuries to your starting pitchers, which is the thinnest part of your team in terms of depth.      Analysis Half of your problems are due to injuries. The other half are due to Joba.      Analysis The Bangers have become the Super-League equivalent of the Lakers. They coast through the regular season by virtue of superior talent and then turn it on (with mixed results) in the playoffs. I guess that makes Marauder the Super-League's Phil Jackson. Oh, and Frank Thomas is only eight days away from coming back.      Analysis This will be the end of the Mel Harder experiment, I suppose.      Analysis Catastrophe!      Analysis Tragedy!      Analysis Your team is better than the sum of its parts.      Analysis Rick Monday was most famous for saving an American flag from being burned on field by protesters sometime in the mid-70s. Other than that, though, he was just a slightly above-average outfielder.      Analysis Can the Generics catch the Dervishes? They are only three games back, so I guess it could happen. Seems crazy, though. Then again, the Generics have surprised me before.      Analysis Bad month, but everyone in your division is basically dead in the water, so it's only vexing rather than disturbing.      Analysis Respect!      Analysis Finally putting together a good month just in time to play the Imperialists. I bet Viscount Slim is just thrilled he turned the Bearers around now. Standings and Leaders

 Ratings Challenge! Rogers Hornsby is one of the best hitters ever. From age 20-35, he had a batting average below .300 just once, and 3 of those years hit over .400. It's not an era effect, as his OPS+ was above 150 all but 3 of those years. His current average is below that of my Lance Parrish, the Daydreamers' Smoky Burgess, the Imperialists' Darrell Porter, and the Unicorns' Brian McCann (the catchers of the first four teams in the update). In sum, Rajah deserves better

 Platoon Baker and Robinson at 3B. Oliver takes over at CF full-time. Burgess comes back in at C, with Sundberg keeping his personal catcher assignment (Glavine, I think?). Now, the pitching. Wood's rating seems absurdly low, but I'm not going to challenge it until I see what he can do. Put him at SP5 for now, with Vance to long relief and Shawkey down.

Oh, yes, so glad the Bearers are finding their feet just as I lose All-Star Eddie Collins. Blargh. Yobin Rount, truly, it is density. Collins and Porter to the DL, call up Sandy Alomar Jr to be Leonard's personal catcher, call up Yount for SS, Polanco to 2B. Re: my bullpen, maybe, but it's surprisingly hard to find the tempo to replace them. Timlin's been money before now, and Boomer just needs to not gently caress up in low leverage.
