Meanwhile, we'll just have to wiggle the rotation around a little to manage: move Halladay up to be the number 2 starter, make Saberhagen the number three and summon Mel Stottlemeyer to be the new number four, after they've had their next start each. As for a bullpen replacement, hosed if I know. Let me consult my roster... EDIT: better put Al Downing in the pen this month.

 Super-League VIII, Dynamo League Week 1: WAR...WAR never changes Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Hardcore Title Defenses  : Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first set of defenses for the Hardcore Title! As you know, the Hardcore Title can change hands if the reigning champion is defeated in any series, and so I'll be presenting each and every game played by the Hardcore Champion this season! : That's right! But, since is the first week of the season, there's only one series for the Hardcore Champion Losers this week, and it'll be a four-game set against the Spooners.: That's right, and, due to the rules of the Hardcore Championship, that's a good thing for the Losers, because if the series splits 2-2, the title will not change hands. Let's get started! The Losers will lead things off with Paige on the mound, who was so good last year...and he'll have a great start this season too, striking out ten as the Losers win a close one 2-1. : Second game will also be tight, probably tighter than ToiletofSadness would like, as Hooks Dauss will go eight innings, and almost come away with the win, before the Losers are able to put the Spooners away.: And an odd game for Seaver. He pitches the complete game, but gives up four runs in the process, Hey, how did Hooks Dauss get his name anyway?: Yoshida, people who ask personal questions of people named "Hooks" do not tend to live long, happy lives. Anyway, with their second-straight win, the Losers will retain the Hardcore Title. : Losers take another game, and that's another complete game for them.: And that's not a good sign for the Spooners. Drysdale, a wild pitcher, needed only 95 pitches for that complete game, and that means that the Spooners are simply not taking enough pitches. Looking at that lineup, you've got a lot of good contact guys, but only a couple of patient hitters, and that might come back to haunt them. : And the Spooners will avoid the sweep with a 12-2 beating that was fueled by some bad errors and ineffective relief position. It still only counts as one game in the standings, though.: Interesting trivia note, the starters for this game, Pete Alexander and Nolan Ryan, once formed the "Tex 'n Lex Connection" that led the Skyhawks to three Super-League Championships. Of course, those were different models of Ryan and Alexander, but it's still kind of neat.: If you say so. : And so the Losers retain the Hardcore Title with a 3-1 series win over the Spooners. Come back next week as they take on the Coburns in a three-game series, and then, pending the outcome, we'll see either Losers-Unicorns or Coburns-Dickshots. You won't want to miss it!Team Statistics: It Never Felt this Good!      Analysis I mean, we can pretend it's not a problem as long as you want, but we both know that you have to replace Krukow with Jason Schmidt sooner or later.      Analysis I don't know how far your finesse pitching can take you, but you have a decent shot in this week division and you did just win the Intercontinental Title.      Analysis Not a great start, but it is only one week.      Analysis Here's a list of pitchers on your roster I would rather have start for me instead of Tom Hughes: Drysdale, Uhle, Newcombe, a pitching machine.      Analysis Well, as long as Catfish Hunter doesn't have a K/BB ratio of 1:6 in every start, you can probably survive this.      Analysis Time to prove that you're hardcore.      Analysis Tough loss, but at least you'll have a chance to remedy it almost immediately. The loss of Leonard does hurt, though.      Analysis The Oranges getting off to a fast start? It's a Christmas miracle!      Analysis A good start, even if, looking at their pitching, I don't know that they can keep it up.      Analysis To the surprise of no one.      Analysis Your team will do better when it plays easier teams...like it will next week. That said, you do have some holes on your offense.      Analysis That can't have been the start you were looking for.      Analysis I think Nomar goes to first and Santo goes to third for the moment.      Analysis The Losers, as usual, start strong. Let's see if they can keep it going.      Analysis Three games lost by four runs. That's not a good omen. SPACE JAM AVAILABLE      Analysis A million trades and an 0-3 start. That's a shame. Standings and Leaders      Choose Your Own Obit! Guys, I don't have any ideas for this obit, so, in order to do the Bobbleheads proud, and increase thread participation, I'll let you vote on the story's direction after every update. Okay, let's begin! Part 1 Mark Grace woke up in his Lincolnwood apartment. He kind of wished he could afford a better place, but being on the Bobbleheads didn't pay well, especially since, according to the contract he had negotiated for, he was paid entirely in beer and rocket cycles. Heading to the bathroom, he wondering if it was even worth shaving this morning. After all, it's not like he had anything planned for the day, and given his trademark goatee, it wouldn't really be that noticeable if he took the day off. It was definitely something he needed to think about. Suddenly, the phone rang! DECISION TIME! Will Mark Grace... A. Answer the phone! B. Get it together and shave, because Mark Grace is a classy dude, and shaving is what classy dudes do! C. You said we had rocket cycles? I want Mark Grace on rocket cycle right now!

Well. First thing's first, we'll have Mark Grace answer the phone since he's not antisocial. For team business:  Team's hitting is cold, but they always seem to start cold. I'm gonna put Nomar at 1B as suggested, and we'll do Santo at 3B and act surprised when BBM thinks he's too young to hit a ball. Also, let's yank Kent Mercker for Tom Zachary in the bullpen. Let's also platoon Salmon with Gwynn in RF because I'm not sure Gwynn can last the entire season by himself.

Bloggers spreadsheet is finalized. We have no changes, but there were some roster errors in week 1 that we'd like fixed, notably: 1) Pat Dobson belongs in AAA, Phil Douglas in long relief (and how the hell did Dobson get a start?!) 2) '67 Holtzman, '64 McBean, and '81 Gorman are all missing from our roster. 3) Hopefully we will use our rotation in order in the future. What the heck happened to cause our #1, #4, and LR to get the first three starts of the year? Finally, we have a ratings challenge on 1911 Chief Bender. To wit: 1) Bender is currently rated a horrifying 83 OVR  2) Bender is a Hall of Fame pitcher and was truly elite for his era: he had a career 112 ERA+ and 84 FIP-, despite starting play at just 19 and having a couple bad decline years. 3) Most notably, Bender managed a 5.1 K/9 in the deadball era, compared to a league average around 4. He also put up a career 0.1 HR/9. 4) Our version of Chief Bender is 1911. This was his age-27 season, typically accepted as players' peak age. Historically, is was situated in the middle of 6 seasons with sub-2.0 BB/9 and after three with >5.5 K/9. He had given up 4 HR in the previous 4 seasons, and had no injury issues. 5) SuperLeague precedent is kind to Chief Bender. The SLVII Googly Mooglies had two copies of the pitcher, which were rated 94 and 95 overall. They performed like it, too: the two Benders combined for 425 innings, 203 Ks, and a 3.40 ERA (league ERA was 4.19). e: Smasher, could you tell me anything about Eddie Matthews's defense at 3B? Also, you have Larry Gardner in my AAA but he isn't on my roster, I don't know what you prefer to do about that. Mornacale fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Dec 16, 2012 |

Mornacale It's been a rule since the beginning that teams can only carry a certain number of players going into their first season, and I don't think that the PTBNLs works as an exception to that, since those selections were made before rosters were finalized anyway. But assuming, arguendo, that the timing of those deals does work out in your favor, that would mean that the Commies and Elephants would have had to, effectively, carry the PTBNLs on their roster into the season in order to make those deals, meaning that the Elephants should only have a 28-man roster, and the Commies a 29-man roster. And they both submitted 30-man rosters, meaning that they certainly didn't think that the trade was going to work in that way. I guess what I'm asking for is a persuasive argument for why these trades work the way you think they do, as opposed to the way I (and tatankatonk and Faustoan Bargain) think because, if you're right, they have to drop players. As for why the order of the starters, who knows? Mogul can be weird sometimes. Either way, it hit everyone equally and doesn't make a huge difference, so I'm not really that concerned about it. Dobson probably started because of a minor injury to one of your pitchers that came and went before the end of the week. And I never grant challenges based on zero data, because ratings can be deceptive a lot of times, especially when you have to do a lot of editing players. The standard for challenges has always been making the player perform reasonably close to his actual talent, and I'm not ready to jack up Bender's rating (which, as I've said, isn't particularly accurate) until it's an actual problem. e: Apparently one of the deals was with the Dickshots, not the Elephants.

Smasher Dynamo posted:Mornacale Well, actually, I would say that the Commies and Dickshots (the other deal was with Monicro, not tatankatonk) should not have to go down below 30 players. After all, the stipulation was specifically to get a player that they left off the 30-man, so it could only be finalized after 30-man rosters were set. (In fact, getting additional players was the whole point of the structure.) I would further point out that I specifically asked you if I could make deals for PTBNL, and that working around roster rules is pretty much the whole point of PTBNL in the real world, that I didn't add those players to my roster until after it was posted and set them aside via italics for some time after that, and that never in this process was any indication made to me that these deals were not allowed to be completed. e: Also, please let me know whenever I'm allowed to challenge that rating.

Looking to the The Future of the Super League: Yeah, yeah, the current season just started, but that means we're just a few short weeks from expansion. Are you an old owner considering a comeback? Maybe a lurker? Or maybe just new to the thread? Well, here's something to whet your appetite for the upcoming season: a quick look at some of next season's more interesting feeder teams! 1902 Philadelphia Athletics Record: 92-56, Lost WS Likely value: 4-5 points Top Hitters: Topsy Hartsel, Socks Seybold Top Pitchers: Rube Waddell, Eddie Plank Best Name: Ossee Schrecongost For Super League purposes, Waddell is probably the best possible left-handed pitcher you can find: all the advantages of a dead ball pitcher with all the advantages of a sabremetric-style high K, low BB pitcher. 1985 California Angels Record: 90-72, 2nd Likely value: 3 points Top Hitters: Bobby Grich, Super League Savior Brian Downing Top Pitchers: Ancient Don Sutton, pre-incident Donnie Moore Best Name: Stew Cliburn Wally World was a year away, but most of the pieces of their division-winning '86 team were already in place. The question is, can you get enough out of guys like Doug Decinces to make it worthwhile? 1976 Houston Astros Record: 80-82, 3rd Likely value: 2 points Top Hitters: Cesar Cedeno, Cliff Johnson Top Pitchers: J.R. Richard, Larry Dierker Best Name: Mark Lemongello Richard wasn't quite at his peak yet, and there's not much for hitting. But Cedeno was pretty good, and Johnson draws walks, hits home runs, and is still young enough to play catcher (albeit badly). 1946 Boston Braves Record: 81-72, 4th Likely value: 2-3 points Top Hitters: Tommy Holmes, International Media Sensation Johnny Hopp Top Pitchers: Warren Spahn, Johnny Sain Best Name: Carden Gillenwater The origin of "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain." There's very little hitting to be had, but Spahn and Sain are in their primes, and joined by competent veterans Mort Cooper and Jim Konstanty. 1993 Milwaukee Brewers Record: 69-93, 7th Likely value: 1 point Top Hitters: Greg Vaughn, B.J. Surhoff Top Pitchers: Mike Fetters, Cal Eldred? Really? Best Name: Ricky Bones The '93 Brewers aren't really that interesting. They're just part of my never-ending quest to get Troy O'Leary into the Super League as many times as possible. 1934 St. Louis Cardinals Record: 95-58, Won WS Likely value: 4 points Top Hitters: Ducky Medwick, Spud Davis Top Pitchers: Dizzy Dean, Daffy Dean Best Name: Phil Collins We haven't had a Dizzy Dean team in a while. So have a Dizzy, a Dazzy, a Daffy, and a Ducky! 1989 Chicago Cubs Record: 93-59, 1st, Lost NLCS Likely value: 4 points Top Hitters: Mark Grace, Ryne Sandberg Top Pitchers: Greg Maddux, Mitch Williams Best Name: Marvell Wynne The Bash Brothers A's were vulnerable, all it would have taken was a little more luck against the Giants. It was closer than you think... 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers Record: 63-47, 1st, Won WS Likely value: 3 points Top Hitters: Pedro Guerrero, Ron Cey Top Pitchers: Fernando Valenzuela, Jerry Reuss Best Name: Ted Power FERNANDOOOOO MANIA!!! *Warning: may contain toxic levels of Bob Welch 1988 Montreal Expos Record: 81-81, 3rd Likely value: 2 points Top Hitters: Tim Raines, Andres Galarraga Top Pitchers: Dennis Martinez, Randy Johnson Best Name: Randy St. Claire A viable Tim Raines, El Presidente, a baby Randy Johnson, and tons of workable bullpen arms. 1965 San Fransisco Giants Record: 95-67, 2nd Likely value: 4-5 points Top Hitters: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey Top Pitchers: Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry Best Name: Tito Fuentes Mays and a ton of decent role players. 1995 Cleveland Indians Record: 100-44, 1st, Lost WS Likely value: 5 points Top Hitters: Manny Ramirez, Albert Belle Top Pitchers: Dennis Martinez, Orel Hershiser Best Name: Eric Plunk Nobody hits like the '95 Indians. 1982 Toronto Blue Jays Record: 78-84, 6th Likely value: 1-2 points Top Hitters: Jesse Barfield, Lloyd Moseby Top Pitchers: Dave Stieb, Mark Eichhorn Best Name: Hosken Powell The first non-embarrassing Blue Jays team doesn't have much of SL value, but they have historical value. 1997 Seattle Mariners Record: 90-72, 1st, Lost ALDS Likely value: 5 points Top Hitters: Alex Rodriguez, Junior Griffey Top Pitchers: Randy Johnson, Jamie Moyer Best Name: Heathcliff Slocumb There will be five Jamie Moyers in the next feeder class. Will anyone dare to take all five, and form the ultimate pitching rotation? 1984 New York Mets Record: 90-72, 2nd Likely value: 4 points Top Hitters: Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez Top Pitchers: Dwight Gooden, Ron Darling Best Name: Billy Beane Pre-coke Dwight Gooden is probably worth it all by himself. 1976 Baltimore Orioles Record: 88-74, 2nd Likely value: 3-4 points Top Hitters: Reggie Jackson, Bobby Grich Top Pitchers: Jim Palmer, Dennis Martinez Best Name: Tippy Martinez A fascinatingly fun team with a great infield defense and a pre-Yankee Reggie. Say, "Thank you, factorialite!" for throwing his team away and freeing these guys up. 1989 San Diego Padres Record: 89-73, 2nd Likely value: 3 points Top Hitters: Tony Gwynn, Robbie Alomar Top Pitchers: Bruce Hurst, Mark Davis Best Name: Randy Ready The last good Padres team before the big fire sale killed them for the better part of a decade. 1907 Philadelphia Phillies Record: 83-64, 3rd Likely value: 2 points Top Hitters: Sherry Magee, Otto Knabe Top Pitchers: Harry Coveleski, Tully Sparks Best Name: Kitty Bransfield I don't think we've had a Sherry Magee team in ages. 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates Record: 97-65, 1st, Won WS Likely value: 4 points Top Hitters: Willie Stargell, Roberto Clemente Top Pitchers: Dock Ellis, pre-disease Steve Blass Best Name: Rimp Lanier We have a baby Willie Stargell and an ancient Willie Stargell. How about a prime Willie Stargell? 1919 Cincinnati Reds Record: 96-44, 1st, Won WS Likely value: 4 points Top Hitters: Edd Roush, Heinie Groh Top Pitchers: Dutch Ruether, Slim Sallee Best Name: Greasy Neale Everyone remembers the 1919 Black Sox. But what about the team that 'beat' them? Were they any good? 1988 Boston Red Sox Record: 89-73, 1st, Lost ALCS Likely value: 4 points Top Hitters: Wade Boggs, Ellis Burks Top Pitchers: Roger Clemens, Lee Smith Best Name: Mike Rochford The '88 Sox were struggling in the middle of the pack when they fired manager John McNamara mid-season. While the team negotiated with Joe Torre to become the new manager, they appointed little-known third base coach Joe Morgan (not the good one) as interim manager. The team promptly won 19 of their next 20 games, a stretch called "Morgan Magic", and all talk of Torre vanished. 1971 Kansas City Royals Record: 85-76, 2nd Likely value: 2-3 points Top Hitters: Amos Otis, Gail Hopkins Top Pitchers: Paul Splittorff, Dick Drago Best Name: Cookie Rojas The first Royals team to finish above .500, and one of the few chances to see what the Royals looked like pre-Brett. 1974 Texas Rangers Record: 84-76, 2nd Likely value: 3 points Top Hitters: Jeff Burroughs, Toby Harrah Top Pitchers: Fergie Jenkins, Don Stanhouse Best Name: Steve Foucault's Pendulum Prime Jenkins, plus a bunch of sabremetric-friendly position players. 1993 Detroit Tigers Record: 85-77, 3rd Likely value: 2 points Top Hitters: Lou Whitaker, Mickey Tettleton Top Pitchers: David Wells, Mike Henneman Best Name: Skeeter Barnes The last stand of the Sparky Anderson Tigers lacked the pitching to survive in an increasingly juiced era. 1983 Minnesota Twins Record: 70-92, 5th Likely value: 1 point Top Hitters: Kent Hrbek, Tom Brunansky Top Pitchers: Frank Viola, Ron Davis Best Name: Randy Bush I cannot emphasize this enough: YOU CAN *NEVER* HAVE TOO MANY TIM TEUFELS. 1936 Chicago White Sox Record: 81-70, 4th Likely value: 2-3 points Top Hitters: Luke Appling, Zeke Bonura Top Pitchers: Ted Lyons, Sugar Cain Best Name: George Washington. No, wait, Jo-jo Morrissey. No, Mule Haas. Argh, no, Les Rock! Wait, wait, Les Tietie! Look at this loving team! 2004 New York Yankees Record: 101-61, 1st, Lost ALCS Likely value: 5 points Top Hitters: Alex Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield Top Pitchers: Kevin Brown, Mariano Rivera Best Name: Homer Bush We haven't had a Hideki Matsui in ages, and this is by the far the most interesting of the Matsui Yankee teams. It'll be a few weeks yet before the list is finalized and sign-ups are opened. So this is your chance to participate in the process. So, readers: do you have a favorite player you want to see included?

Voting C for the Bobbleheads obit because, come on, rocket cycles! Also, during the offseason, are we allowed to deal players that we had to trim from our 30 man roster but weren't on our feeder teams? Like, for example, I won 2009 Troy Glaus - well, I don't know if I'd call that winning - in the Superstars auction, but I couldn't fit him on my 30-man. Do we still have the rights to those players, or are they just gone permanently? I bring it up because, as one of the stipulations of my trade with Mornacale for Ernie Lombardi, if the average OVR of Douglas and Hendrix is above 92, I get 1932 Eppa Rixey in addition, and their average OVR is 92.5. I would just add him to the list of guys I have access to in the offseason, but I wasn't sure if that was how it would work.
