My Mooglies have 1934 Lloyd Brown, who did a pretty good job for me in Super League I. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, the Rated R Superstars have 2006 Scott Downs or 2001 John Rocker, either of which can be yours in exchange for Benoit.

Benoit for Downs sounds like a deal.

I'm pretty concerned about giving up that much for a dude with a significant injury risk. My roster is a little goofy right now because I want to use the EL to see what I've got; for the real league I expect Hafey to be my everyday LF (and backup CF), and Kaline to at least platoon at 1B in addition to backup up RF. You're particularly underestimating Hafey, I think: he's only 29 in that season, he has an elite contact bat with good power and speed, and he can play okay defense anywhere in the OF (his OVR actually rises a little if you move him to CF).

(He was a real bad Hall choice, though, no denying that. :shobon: )

I need to either give up less or snag a pitcher/middle infield/capable backup CF.
Well I could toss in a 1993 Lenny Dykstra for your backup concerns. I don't think Bonds is necessarily injury prone, it's just been one of those seasons where the whole drat team thinks the DL is some fantastic theme park with rides and treats and they're all aching to go.

The same reason that I have a young Eddie Mathews who consistently finds his way back to the minors; Mogul really hates players starting or ending their careers and thinks not only they've fallen off the cliff, they're happily digging deeper into the impact crater.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."


Dunno where Stevie B or John Lackey have run off too this time. Smasher informed me that the W's and Cultists are on deck, and.. welp.

Gonna make a few lineup changes, even though I know this week has the potential to be very ugly.

1925 CF Indian Bob Johnson is still available, and likely could be a decent DH for one of you guys. Also, 2010 2B Robinson Cano is now available. We risked Frank Tanana in a challenge, and it just hasn't worked out. We're still mainly looking for a 2B/SS/CF. 2011 SP Doug Fister will be back on the block once Juan Marichal returns from injury.

: Hey. HEY.

... Oh great.

: Look. I was in the lineup for you guys in the Expansion Cup, and you nearly won it all. You removed me and sent me to AAA, and you guys really suck. Coincidence?

.... Yes. You're not a good hitter, Marty.


: Screw you! Use me or get relegated!

Fine. Marty McManus gets called up, and Tony Fernandez gets sent to AAA.

vs. left handed pitchers (DH)

1) CF Amos Otis
2) 1B George Sisler
3) RF Al Kaline
4) DH George Bell
5) LF Matt Holliday
6) 3B Buddy Bell
7) C Hank Severid
8) 2B Nellie Fox

Fine, you big bully. Put Eddie Collins back at second and start Matt Williams at short.

Entertaining offers for shortstops with a pulse; I can pay in corner outfielders, mostly. Please don't offer me org filler.

I'm looking forward to the All-Star series!

Lajoie's a deadballer, which means his defense is godawful. I can jam him at first base and put Biggio at second and greatly improve my defense with essentially a lateral move offensively because Rusty Staub's playing 1B due to a bunch of injuries I never bothered to re-update my lineup for after they concluded.

gently caress. All three down. Gamble, Kern, and '07 Dunn up.

McGriff in at 1B - I was going to platoon them anyway so I can deal with the Thomas injury.

As for the pitching, well, the only thing I can do is a four-man rotation of Maddux-Glavine-Jenkins-Vance. Kern takes over at "long relief" again, and I hope he never gets used, again.

Somebody trade me pitching before I get forced to turn into the Radbourns! Broken Frank Thomas is officially on the block to facilitate this - Expansion Cup owners, this is your chance to get a very very good 1B at a non-extortionate cost.

Edit: Sliders need adjusting, too. Pitch on short rest to -5, pitch through trouble and high pitch counts to -3. That's a lot of work for a pretty bad bullpen, but there's no real alternative.

Interesting. Well, if you think Mathews is worth anything (I don't know his year), why not put him at third and Pujols at first? That would improve your defense as well, and wouldn't sap your power so much.

I see Mathews was hurt, but I suppose that's past now.

To be honest, I'm not sure how much I can comment on this move. I see the name of Sir Barrold up there, glowing with an unearthly light, and I just start slavering and moaning. To me, any deal that involves a lot of slavering gets an automatic A+, so long as it's not my GM doing it!

I've considered your offer and I'll decline on the basis that Walker's nice but Rice is taking a slide on the downward curve and Hafey/Kaline have better upside.

Suppose I should offer a press release confirming these rumors, subject to the approval of the Commissar. (Generics' Bonds/Dykstra for Bloggers' Kaline/Hafey).

Assuming the trade is approved, Hafey goes to CF, Kaline goes to 1B and Goose is in LF.

Super-League VII All-Star Series!

This time it really, really, really counts!


: The All-Star Series, one of the proudest Super-League traditions-
: Isn't this the first time you're doing this?
: I'm looking prospectively. Either way, this series will determine whether or not the DH rule will be in effect for the Super-League finals. If the Smasher League wins, the DH rules will be in play, if not, then those DHs will spend the finals stuck fast to the bench, while CthulhuDreams fumes over his misfortune.
: So...you're assuming the Cultists win the Smasher League?
: The Phoenixes are mediocre, the Bobbleheads routinely start two players who hit under the Mendoza line, and the W's feature an erratic 19 year-old knuckleballer as their middle reliever.
: Hey, I'm not erratic!
: And now let's introduce the Super-League VII all-stars. First up, the visiting Dynamo League-
: I thought you said they had home-field advantage.
: I lied.


Dynamo League All-Stars
* - Denotes Starter



SP: Cliff Lee



SP: Greg Maddux



2B: Eddie Collins*
CF: Jim Edmonds*



IF: Honus Wagner



C: Johnny Bench*



RP: Billy Wagner
IF: Nap Lajoie



C: Yogi Berra
LF/DH: Ted Williams
RP: Alfredo Aceves

SS: Alex Rodriguez*



OF: Tony Gwynn



SP: Satchel Paige
RF: Frank Robinson*
DH: Frank Thomas*



RP: Pedro Martinez
3B: Eddie Mathews*



SP: Juan Marichal


: And asked about this team, Marauder has stated that he could care less about whether the Dynamo League wins this series, as he would likely be better off having the DH rule in effect during the Finals.
: Good to see he's taking this seriously. And now the Smasher League All-Stars...


Smasher League All-Stars
* - Denotes Starter



SP: Curt Schilling
SS: Derek Jeter*



SP: Thornton Lee



2B: Rogers Hornsby*



BN: Mike Piazza



SP: Cliff Lee



C: Josh Gibson*



SP: Tom Glavine



LR: Roger Clemens
BN: Eddie Collins
CF: Joe DiMaggio*
RF: Hank Aaron*



SU: Robb Nen
SR: Francisco Rodriguez



BN: Miguel Cabrera



CL: Sergio Romo
LF: Zack Wheat*



BN: Vladimir Guerrero
3B: Wade Boggs*



SR: Joakim Soria
DH: Stan Musial*
SP: Christy Mathewson*



1B: John Olerud*



BN: Tris Speaker



MR: Tom Henke; Vice City Goose Eggs

: And I talked with Mark Grace before the game, and he had been drinking, and it was kind of downhill from there.
: Awesome. Okay, we're almost ready to begin, but before we do, the Generics-Bloggers trade is approved, so Cthulhu, you can stop trying to steal Bonds.



: Dynamo League will take Game 1, as a gutsy steal of third base by Jim Edmonds in the 10th set up a sacrifice fly from Yogi Berra.
: And that's rough for the Smashers, they were hoping that Robb Nen could leave the troubles in Madison behind and pitch well in this environment, but it didn't pan out.
: And I'm just getting word that, according to Marauder, Frank Thomas has accidentally fallen down an elevator shaft and onto a knife and will miss the rest of the series. The Bangers' Ted Williams will take his place in the lineup.



: And the Dynamos take a 2-0 series lead as their Cliff Lee beats the Smasher League Cliff Lee.
: The Smasher League Cliff Lee struck out eleven, but that was all erased in a second when he gave up a three-run home run to Eddie Mathews in the bottom of the eighth.
: And some more news is coming in. Marauder has just told me that Eddie Mathews was so excited by his heroics that he's decided to throw himself in front of a speeding truck, and he'll miss a couple of games.
: Wow, that is some tough luck for the Dynamo League team. I mean, what are the odds that two of their starters would go down in mysterious accidents in as many games. It's kind of funny, really, because before the series started, Marauder was telling me that he really wanted Williams and Wagner in his starting lineup and was willing to take 'extreme measures' to make that happen. Lucky that these injuries happened so he didn't have to, eh, Smasher?



: And the Dynamo League will take a 3-0 lead, as Maddux is better than Glavine, just as he was in real life.



: And the confluence of The Thornton Lee's and Satchel Paige's mystical energy creates a zone of horror, and this 12-11 win is the result.
: Looks like the Smasher League has new life.
: And it looks like Frank Thomas has somehow recovered from his injuries to return to his lineup, infuriating Marauder.



: And this series is over! The Dynamo League mounts a desperate five-run rally in the ninth and tenth winning to take the lead, and there will be no DH in the Super-League Finals.
: And you hate to second-guess an owner, but Sergio Romo was probably not the right choice as the closer for the Smasher League. There was a couple of Mariano Riveras available to blakelmenakle, also a couple of Robb Nens, there were Tom Henkes, but blakel went with Sergio Romo.
: Yeah, that was pretty terrible. And that will wrap it up for us here today. Regular updates resume tomorrow!

When McCutchen gets done being injured... you know, this McCutchen is really pissing me off. Do not return McCutchen to the regular lineup when he is heeled. Keep using Corey Hart.

Also, Yount should hit 6th, moving everyone else down. Use Rodriguez as the setup man and put Axford as the 2nd option for short relief, behind Uehara.


That is all.

Question: when will our rosters lock, such that players we trade for can be dumped in AAA without taking someone else off the roster?

EC Update

Rosters have been entered for the: Air Raids, Arguments, Commies, Elephants, and Barons. Next up are the Smokers, Surf, Dickshots, Mashers, and Woodchucks.

This was my list of teams as of today, any owners that have remaining teams that I have not just listed need to have their final rosters/sliders posted in this thread, or if you have done so and I missed your team (which is definitely possible), please link me to your roster post so I can get the information imported.

Remember, the deadline is Sunday night/Monday morning, at 12 AM EST.
