Unfortunately I don't have much depth at those positions. I could send you 1992 Ray Lankford to play left (or center) along with your pick of 2011 Adrian Gonzalez or Kevin Youkilis. Or, hell, if you want, both of them, although I might need another hitter for my bench at that point. Youkilis I know can play third in a pinch, too.

Here's my roster - it's before the season started, but it's close enough to what it is now - if you feel like taking a look: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499603&pagenumber=83&perpage=40#post410464590

e: How about this:

1980 Joe Morgan
2010 Josh Hamilton

for

1992 Ray Lankford
2011 Kevin Youkils
2005 Craig Biggio
2005 Roy Oswalt

I would take that trade if it were Gonzalez instead of Youk.

Just for my records, that's

1980 Joe Morgan
2010 Josh Hamilton

for

2005 Craig Biggio
1992 Ray Lankford
2011 Adrian Gonzalez
2005 Roy Oswalt

I'll do that trade.

e: For the roster, put Morgan and Hamilton in the majors and call up Happy Felsch to ride the bench. Lineups in a bit, after the next update comes out.

Offer me relievers for '98 Biggio. Want to see what I can get for him.

Given that Biggio does not actually seem to be very "good", but still is probably a better 2B platoon partner than Delahanty, I'd be willing to part with '64 Dick Hall, '64 Stu Miller, or '81 Tom Gorman. All of them ought to roll better for you--Hall and Miller have taken old-guy-in-the-minors hits and Gorman had his ratings assigned by Smasher.

Super-League VIII, Smasher League Week 18: Centers of Power

Games of the Week

GUMSHOES DROP HAMMER ON SUICIDES

Seattle- Some games feature a lot of drama. The only drama on display today was who would win the Gumshoes' annual chili cookoff.

In fact, it seemed as if the Gumshoes were more focused on that than the game, which was understandable, as the Suicides put up virtually no fight at all, and the Gumshoes cruised to an easy 9-0 victory. Bobby Grich explained that, "In the past we used to pretend like we had a bunch of criteria for judging, but, to be honest, it's all about who made the spiciest chili. Now personally, I tried out some scotch bonnet peppers in my chili this year, as I felt that maybe a type of pepper that people weren't prepared for might be a bit more effective. But, of course, none of our chilis could compete with Krukie's. That man is a chili genius."

John Kruk, in fact, was the winner of the contest, as his "Philadelphia Hell Bowl" chili was so potent that no member of them could finish the bowl without going into convulsions. Kruk told reporters that the secret to his chili was, "getting really, really, really drunk before you make it. That way, your senses will be dead so that you can just dump a ton of spices in there and not even really taste them. Man, there is nothing better than getting really drunk, making some chili, and then playing some intramural softball...wait, we weren't playing softball today? Are you sure? I'm pretty sure we were playing softball."

The owner of the Suicides, Pungry Pungry Pippoes, was quite distraught at the blowout loss, "No one understands my pain! I am a unique flower that society is trying to crush with its John Kruks and its Don Slaughts! All I want to do is do things my way, but you won't let me express myself. You're all 'No, Pungry, that's not how an infield should work' and 'I'm not letting you use Little League players on your team, Pungry'. No lets Pungry just be Pungry. No, you all want me to be just like Marauder or someone, because you can't stand the idea of any owner not fitting in to their little boxes. Well, this flower doesn't fit in that box, drat it! This flower needs to be free, so it can bloom! I need to bloom, drat it! Why won't you let me bloom!"

Ted Williams, who witnessed this exchange, then took his moment at the microphone, "Okay, listen, guys, it's pretty loving clear that I'm going to end up in the dispersal draft again. All I ask is that you assholes do me one favor and not draft me to another loving terrible team. I deserve better. Please don't make me spend another loving year with a team like the Suicides. Please."

GAME NOTES

-If you have Joe Randa and Carlos Guillen in your lineup in the Super-League, you will get relegated.

-But hey, at least the Sonics are back!

PHOENIXES BLANK AIR RAIDS 6-0

Spokane- Marauder didn't want to talk much about this game.

After all, it wasn't a particularly interesting win for his team, nor was in very meaningful, and the Phoenixes are expected to defeat a team like the Air Raids. He made it clear to reporters he had other things on his mind.

"The Phoenixes are going to win the Mark Bellhorn Division," Marauder announced with little affect, "Even as we have struggled of late, neither the Barons nor the Whalers have shown any real ability to contest my domination of this division, nor do I think that they will suddenly become real contenders. I would not even call them 'pretenders' honestly, as a pretender, in the classical sense, at least has some claim, of varying validity, to the throne. No, the Barons and the Whalers are just rabble. The sort of flotsam that drifts to the shores from time to time to remind us of past follies." Marauder took a swig from his goblet of brandy, "No, my mind is in the Dynamo League, where the Finger-Bangers stand poised to do what many had thought impossible: the unification of four titles in one team. The only thing that stands in my way are the San Juan Elephants, who, it must be said, are perhaps the least threatening team to ever exist. I must say I feel good about my chances. Any questions?"

At this point, a dazed Manifunk Destiny stood up, having apparently been hiding among the reporters this entire time, and asked Marauder, "Hey, your team's pretty awesome. Is that awesome?"

Marauder, furrowing his brow at this rather bizarre question, responded, "It is rather pleasant I suppose, but, then again, I'm sure seeing Zack Greinke lose so many games must have its charms."

Manifunk Destiny, not quite grasping the sarcasm of Marauder's words, thanked the Phoenixes' owner for his kind words, and continued the impromptu interview, "Hey...hey, Marauder, man...do you want to be my new dad? I was thinking that you're pretty smart, and could teach me a lot about how to build a good team, so...how about it?"

This confused Marauder even more, "I'm sorry, I must have misheard you, my friend."

"No, man, I was reading this book about the Roman Emperors or something, and they used to adopt, like, their heirs or something. So I figure I could do that for you, and that would be cool." Manifunk was clearly not quite in his right mind.

Marauder started slowly shaking his head, "First of all, while I do like the idea that you see me as an emperor, of sorts, I have no interest in finding an heir, because my teams will be immortal. Also, looking at your...well, it's similar to a pitching rotation, at any rate, if I were to pick an hear, I would have to pick someone with a bit more potential. No, I'm afraid that you will never be my heir, and that this interview is over."

GAME NOTES

-The loss really, really hurt Zack Greinke's feelings.

-Did you know that Spokane isn't a suburb of Seattle? In fact, it's all the way near Idaho. It still baffles me that Spokane exists.

Box Score

Fernsehen Zeit!

: Baron-Biosparks! Television Title! Let's go! Game 1 and...K-Rod blows it, and the Biosparks win!

: Barons, not wanting to trust their bullpen, hit the Biosparks hard and fast, and they will roll up a large victory. That will even the series, and so the Television Title will be decided in Game 3 of this series.

: And K-Rod fucks it up again, and the Biosparks pick up another Television Title. K-Rod just hates people being happy I guess.

: Okay, and the Biosparks will defend the Television title against the Arguments in what seems like the 78th Television Championship Bout between the two teams.

: That's right and-

: Yoshida, what are you doing here? I fired you.

: According to my contract, I get to call every Television Title game involving Snuffy.

: Oh, yeah...let's see...drat it! Who the gently caress wrote this contract, anyway?

: Um...hold on...I've got their card somewhere...here you go.

: What kind of idiot....'Dynamo and Associates P.C."? gently caress, if the Bar hears that I'm representing some other party against myself again, they are going to be pissed. Okay, fine Yoshida, you can stay. And the Arguments will win Game 1.

: And the Arguments will win Game 2, and their 4th Television Title.

: The Biosparks are essentially Babe Ruth and...not a lot else. That can only take them so far. On the other hand, go Snuffy!

: And the Arguments complete the sweep.

: Snuffy has saved the day! Or maybe the Arguments just got lucky against a mediocre team.

: Well, it's one or the other. Next week, it's Arguments-Gumshoes and then either Arguments-Failures or Gumshoes-Commies.

Team Statistics

Analysis

Oswalt has pitched 25 innings and somehow has only 3 strikeouts. That is a rather ominous.

Analysis

The proletariat has failed at providing you with another starting pitcher. The success of the counter-revolution is assured.

Analysis

Wherever you are, Shadow gamer, I'm sorry.

Analysis

Stumbling towards glory!

Analysis

Only four games out? Holy gently caress, you might be able to make a run at this! Good job.

Analysis

The Gumshoes have suddenly become an unstoppable killing machine because every one of their players is having a decent season at the same time.

Analysis

I bumped up Raines' ratings a bit. Not that you really needed the help.

Analysis

I do not understand your team. You've won four Television Championships, but those are about the only times your team looks good.

Analysis

Craigory! You must stop the Cultists from reaching the playoffs or else all is lost!

Analysis

At least I-Rod is almost back.

Analysis

In a perfectly fair world, the Failures would have a winning record. Then again, in a perfectly fair world, Rose's knee wouldn't have buckled in the playoffs last season and the Bulls would have swept the Sixers.

Analysis

Oh, good, the Cultists are making a huge comeback. I'm so...excited.

Analysis

I demand this team figure out whether it's terrible or not!

Analysis

Ted Williams deserves better.

Analysis

Can The Chosen Dunn save the day?

Look, you may not be excited, but I'm clapping like a retarded seal! Look at them go! We swept the Phoenixes! We went up 2-1 up against the Landers! I could almost kiss Matty and his creepy looks exactly like Mark Harmon face. The only worrying signs are that I sold a bunch of them and their replacement got shelled. Damnit Schilling, I think you're a hall of famer even if the BBWAA don't.

Ultimate showdown next week - three games against the Landers, then four game series with the Ezy Ws. If we can take this 3-1 we can really put the squeeze on those guys and challenge for the division championship again.

Lineup Changes

Welcome aboard Piazza, this causes me some problems, but they are good problems:

For the rotation, put Schilling in for Pedro (I am sad to see you go man), put Tanana in LR and hope no-one gets injured.

For the Failures, I'm going to do some tinkering.

By my count, after the trade, there should be three open spots on the 25-man roster. Thus, since we agreed that Hamilton will remain injured for a few weeks, I'll call up Morgan, Hafner, and Felsch to fill those spots.

In the mean time, it's time to bring back Willie McCovey, Left Fielder! Here's a new lineup:

Rickey and Willie should be playing full time. I'll give Eddie Murray a week to see if he can out-do Chili Champ J. Kruk.

gardenald: Jul 23, 2007; In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

gently caress Mike Torrez. Send him down with some biomimetic gel to stimulate his development and maybe get him to pitch like he cares after he heals up and slot Marty O'Toole in at Long Relief.

Also, gently caress K-Rod. Eckersley takes the closer role, Bill Campbell to setup, K-Rod goes to short relief.

Also-also, slot in a few dudes for the tired guys versus LHP. To wit;
#1-#6 as normal
#7 3B Buddy Bell
#8 C Del Rice
#9 2B Solly Hemus

VS RHP is as normal

For the record, the Spooners-Failures trade was approved, so no, the Cultists can't bid.
