I hate my team. Ray Collins is pitching better than Big Six, Big Train and Pedro? Vomit.

In the Expansion League, when can we dip back into our feeders to try out some new blood?

 Will Fergie Jenkins lead Hartford to prosperity? (.500?) We'll find out. Boot Falkenberg and put Jenkins in his place in the rotation. Keep Cone as the next starter.

It's a scientific fact that you can't die on the moon. But still, mrnoun's lack of spirit must be punished. And there is only one punishment great enough for his crimes. People of thread! Attend me now! You have displeased me greatly. And so I shall afflict this thread with a plague of unimaginable proportion. As you know, I had recently banished Bruzer for his many, many misdeeds, but this evening's events. mrnoun bailing on the league and your feverish calls for a super-auction? That would force me to do extra work? For shame! Therefore, I have given Bruzer the following task. He must give a chapter-by-chapter book report on...a certain work of baseball fiction. I will let him introduce it. If he succeeds, he will be let back into the Super-League. But I am not a cruel man, and so I will give you all one last chance to avoid such a tragedy. In order to decide whether Bruzer is re-admitted, I will appoint seven judges who will vote after every chapter, and after he has finished the book, whether his labors are sufficient. If you vote they are not, he must redo the chapter until a majority of the judges agree that he has remedied his mistakes. Who among you is willing to take up the burden of protecting the Super-League from Bruzer? Smasher Dynamo fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Jan 16, 2013 |

Smasher Dynamo posted:Who among you is willing to take up the burden of protecting the Super-League from Bruzer? As Expansion Cup VIII Manager of the Canton Catastrophes and overall baseball knowledge rookie, I officially cast my hat in as Volunteer For Judge Of Comprehension To Non Baseball Enthusiasts My primary judging criteria will be whether or not I will need Bruiser to re-explain any notable players, incidents, and/or concepts of baseball, as well as being able to judge whether he has effectively communicated the story of the Cubs. The only thing I know about the Chicago Cubs is that they suffer, a lot. As everyone knows, I'm from Ohio, and people from Ohio have an incredibly ability to perceive and recognize suffering, being experts on it ourselves. To this end, I will judge Bruiser can communicate the suffering of a Cubs fan - to the point where they would write this story - as well as keeping baseball-related information clear and concise. Especially that critical to the plot.

As a fellow Yankee's fan, I shall throw my hat into the ring and judge Bruzer on his quest for redemption. Do not think my choice of fandom will result in me "going easy on Bruzer". Actually the opposite is true; I will hold Bruiser to ridiculously high standards, just as George Steinbrenner did to his terribly overplayed players. Hopefully this will not end with me paying a private eye to dig up dirt on Bruzer's personal life.

Before you cast yourself into the Abyss, Landers, I want to offer you a trade! Dick Allen 1970 edition - hit 34 homers and had a 146 OPS+ in the offensively depressed '70 season. Had a crappy roll, but carried the hell out of my team in the Expansion Cup. Fine, fine player who's only on my bench because of a bad roll and the fact that Jeff Bagwell is a golden god. Would be the clean up hitter for quite a few teams in the league and in the middle of the order for a whole bunch of them. Only downside is that any team with him on it will be cursed with trade offers until the end of time. Jim Fregosi- 1964 - His first "good" season, hit 18 homers and a 141 OPS+ in the offensively depressed 1964 season. Perfectly cromulent player, but relegated to warm the bench after the presence of A-Rod. Carl Everett- 1998 - Generic mashing COF on a team stocked to the drat gills with them. Cliff Lee- 2010 - Pitch to contact pitcher that is holding his own on a team with the worst defense of all time, so he'd be '68 Gibson on a team that's actually average or better at defense. and you can have throw in a few of Cardenal '70, Meluskey '98, Ausmus '98, and Figgins '10 if you want them for some depth. All decent low-to-mid-80s rolls. for Pedro Martinez George Brett Tom Henke Dick Allen is the centerpiece, with Cliff Lee being a lesser, although still valuable part. Don't know what years those players are, but I could use a Pedro pitching like that, and Matt Williams ain't cutting it. CraigK fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Jan 16, 2013 |

I'll gladly take a spot on the jury (if one remains) and as reality has shown talent and stuff are not needed anyhow. So instead of looking for historic facts and accuracy, I will judge the entrant for it's entertaining value.

Pander posted:Why the hell would he be in long relief for you? Is he cursed? You're right, though, aside from your very good players you don't really have anything else that would be helpful for me. Would you be prepared to exchange one of Mantle et al. for Lincecum plus one of my very good players? I don't really have any massive names (I think i've got something like three HoFs), but they're tried and Super-League tested.

 I assemble a team of withered quadragenarians and somehow my healthiest and awesomest player is the one who gets hurt. gently caress. Move Jim Acker to the minors and put John Candelaria in his spot, swap Henke and Quatrill. Also make Pat Borders personal catcher to Mussina before Posada explodes.

Revenant Threshold posted:He was perfectly acceptable in the EC for me, and since then he's gone downhill. Luckily i'm at the point now where I don't have to rely on him, so I don't. But he's still, at his worst, better than some of your guys. And while BM ratings aren't anywhere near gospel, he's hovered around 95+ in every reset so far - there's a fairly good chance you'll get something better. Plus you're in the EC at the moment, which means you'll get one reset to start you off with. Mantle for Beltran and Lincecum? or Mantle for Damon, Lincecum, and Bumgarner?
