You'll get the overall ratings in the updates, beyond that, it goes back to there just being a limit to how many stat screens I can show without making each update 500 images long and take five hours to put together.

Posey is still terrible, alas, so let's have Sweeney in for Rodriguez. I seem to recall his defense last season was pisspoor, but hey, so's Rodriguez's.

Cultists, disgusted with the quality of relief pitching in the draft obtain their second piece of superleague iconography: The Chosen Dunn. So, is Dunn better against RHP than Billy Williams?

Tip for new players: if someone is trying to trade for feeder players without naming them, they are probably trying to keep from alerting you/the thread that you left someone good off your roster.

Mornacale posted:Tip for new players: if someone is trying to trade for feeder players without naming them, they are probably trying to keep from alerting you/the thread that you left someone good off your roster. As a new player, thank you ever so much for your advice, Mornacale. Here I was, assuming that, out of the goodness of their hearts, veteran players would just look to hand me halfway decent players in return for taking chaff and crap from my feeder teams. I never in a million years would have imagined they were looking to trade for good players. Man, without you stepping in to let us know, I'm sure we never would have figured out that veteran team owners are looking to make their teams better. While we're at it, anyone else wanna treat the new players like we're all idiots?

In all honesty, Marauder has taken stabs at feeder players that have not turned out that well, so the trades do have a chance to benefit the new owners. But that is the exception to a pretty steadfast rule.

I can't really think of any off the top, but yeah, established teams can absorb more risk in the form of very young/very old/short career players. That said, I'm sure that the Beard Leaguers are aware of the presence of Greinke, Larry Jackson, Bob Gibson, etc, but there's an argument to be made for holding tryouts for your prospective fourth/fifth/sixth starters in the Expansion Cup. You're already relying on your Ace(s) to be good.

Box Score Hardcore Title Defenses: Almost Exciting! : Okay, let's get this done. : Sure. The Tornados are facing the Coburns. : Yes...I seem to recall UltimoDragonQuest making some negative comments about the Packers recently. Oh, great James Coburn! Smite this man and his team! : Eight runs in the last two innings and the Coburns win! : Again, Coburn! Strike down the Tornados! : Coburns score 14 runs, and win again. One more win and they get the Hardcore Title! : Destroy them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : And Coburns win 11-1, and they'll take the Hardcore title thanks to three crushing victories in a row! That's what good balance can do for a team. : And the Coburns will complete the sweep, teaching everyone an important lesson in vengeance. : Wait, if you were rigging the results, why would you let the Bloggers win the Intercontinental Title. : I wish I was rigging the results. : Coburns at Bangers, now, and they'll be fighting for the Hardcore and the U.S. and European Titles. : This game will go to extra innings, and Fingers blows the game, the Coburns win! : Rollie Fingers, the only reason the Bangers haven't won five straight titles. : Fingers loses another extra-innings game, and now the Coburns can take the U.S. and European Titles with one more win. : It would be quite the achievement if they can pull it off.. : The game goes to extra innings...and the Bangers are able to save their titles with two runs in the tenth! No titles will change hands! : And leave it to Marauder to ruin another underdog story. He's kind of like Goliath, if Goliath caught the stone David throw at him, and then used it choke David to death, while laughing the entire time. : And that's it for tonight. Next week, the Coburns face someone else...the Generics? Really? In a four-game series. gently caress, well, good loving luck, kw0134. Team Statistics Analysis You can give some of your players off, or they can get injured and take time off that way. Analysis The Unspecifieds look to be over whatever ailed them last month. Granted, three out of four series against cellar-dwellers can make any team look great. Hornsby is better this year, though. Not great, but better. Analysis I'm just going to shake my head at your team for a while. Analysis Your lineup is bizarre. Speed in the corners, power up the middle. Not exactly the way it usually works. Tough loss at the Coburns, but they're a solid team, so it's no shame to losing to them in New Mexico. Analysis Back in first place...barely. Your center field situation probably should get looked at eventually. Analysis Champions! Analysis Musial in center isn't a disaster, but it certainly hurts a team based on defense. Analysis What goes up, must go down. Analysis Raines and Jackson are okay...the rest of the lineup has some problems. Analysis The Dream Smashers! Analysis .500 forever! Analysis Bulldogs, you may be cheaters, but as long as you can keep the Bloggers down, you're okay in my book. I just wish your offense wasn't so terrible. Analysis It kind of hurts to look at your team sometimes. Oh, apparently Garciaparra got injured too, because the misery just doesn't stop in Rochester. Analysis With your injuries healed, the Losers had no choice but to go on a rampage! Analysis It's still not time to give up. Analysis drat it all to hell!

But that is the exception to a pretty steadfast rule. I'm not saying that taking a stab at feeder guys is inherently exploitative (hell, I think it's fun as hell and any EC owner who wants to trade their feeder players to me should say so), I'm saying that nothing is keeping Cthulhu from naming the five(!) extra players he wants, and I don't think a first-time owner ought to be making their first trade without every card on the table. In this case, for instance, there's Bob Gibson, Zach Greinke, prime Tim Raines, Randy Johnson, Bruce Sutter, Tanyon Sturtze, etc. A bunch of dudes that the thread would probably cry foul on if they were named, but if it's just "5 players" then it can sneak through.

To be fair, I've sold Randy and Greinke before for sucking, and Tim Raines' coke addiction is starting to show, but yeah there are some good players left in those feeders. Tanyon Sturtze isn't actually good though. There possible outcomes A) I get some good players B) He gets some good players C) Dubsteppin's intentional tanking is revealed, which disrupts the integrity of the draft.

Oh hey, it finally got back around to me. Is there even anyone left WORTH drafting? Christ. I guess I'll take 11 Roy Oswalt. He can't be much worse than Wilbur Cooper, whose rotation spot he will take. Send Bob Stanley to AAA, Howie Camnitz goes to short relief, Cooper to middle relief. Also, swap in Del Rice and Solly Hemus into the 8 and 9 spots versus LHP to rest Schoendienst and Fisk a little. e: Like so gardenald fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Jan 15, 2013 |

Once again, the Bloggers show that devotion to statistics and obsessive optimization can take a team to the heights of SuperLeague glory! Once again, Commissar SmasherDynamo commits an unspeakable injustice against us, cementing his clear bias toward the SuperLeague establishment. But that is okay. We remain humble, as befits bloggers like ourselves. Indeed, now that we have achieved the lofty heights of Intercontinental Champions, we are feeling more than anything magnanimous. So we have decided to help make Smasher's life a little bit easier. Smasher, rest your weary bones. Don't worry about cleaning up the Intercontinental belt. We're more than happy to put a fresh new face on it. Just sit back and relax a little.

Just when I think I might have the answers to my offensive problems at third base, Rollins decides to completely poo poo the bed. Least I can put Alan Trammell back in which will allow me to have my best lineup, as awful as that might be, on the field for the first time in a month.

Smasher Dynamo posted:Is there a reason that Frank Howard is starting over Frank Robinson. 1.) Because I somehow though that Howard had much better power numbers compared to Robinson then he actually does. I'll change them immediately. 2.) Not sure really, though having Frank Thomas after the draft has helped me somewhat in the offensive department.
