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

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. e: ^^^ Ugh.

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.

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.

We pulled off a Brooklyn Brawler(when managed by Bobby Heenan) last month, and are still in distant third! Who will be the Red Rooster that knocks us back to reality in July? Anyway, injures. Let's handle 'em If Kevin Brown misses his next start, put in Johan Santana for that start, then send Santana back down to AAA. Jose Reyes takes Cal Ripken's place in the lineup against lefties while Ripken is injured. Keep him in Ripken's spot in the lineup, so Ripken can be inserted back in painlessly. Also Marauder has gyros for everybody! A

Voting A. 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: code:
