I got this '78 Carl Yastrzemski I'm not using because I have Stan the Man patrolling LF. I had him at 1st in the expansion cup and he performed well for me, but between Musial, Prince Fielder, and Jim Rice I've got nowhere to play him. I'd throw in 2011 Roy Oswalt as well. e: Or '51 Enos Slaughter gardenald fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Jan 29, 2013 |

UZworm posted:All right, slight change to tact here:  I still Accept this. For the haters, it's a currently great reliever, a possibly good reliever, a startable second baseman with power, and a utility man. All for a lefty who Mogul doesn't seem to like very much, and has a 4.50 ERA or so. This is the limit of what I'm willing to give up for Hamels. Gibson had like one good year for BWFC and otherwise won't OBP over .280. quote:I'm interested in '97 Scott Radinsky, plus I guess '76 Grant Jackson/'04 Putz/'12 Belisle.

ChtluluDreams: I really don't know what trade we could work out. My greatest needs are pitching-related, and your pitchers are either as good or better than Ford, or far, far, worse. I wouldn't mind a good bench player, but your bench (while having some nice names) is bleh and doesn't meet my greatest positional need (3B). Unless you want a change of scenery trade (Mathewson, Carlton, or Big Train for Ford) or are willing to give up way too much of what you need (Schilling + Collins + Soria + Sasaki for Ford) I don't see us having a good mix.

 So, uh, it seems Brian Giles is playing third base for me against lefties. I should probably do something about that. Send down Henrich, call up Richie Allen. New Lineup: RF Beltran CF Carey LF Giles DH Gehrig/Piazza 1B Ortiz/Allen 2B Collins/Gordon SS Alomar C Lombardi 3B Rolfe Rance the Cyborg should board the ship.

 Kind of a rough week. Pull THE Thornton Lee for Jered Weaver - let him ruminate on screwing up. I really don't want Rickey or Barry to break, so play Krukster in left against RHP and bench Larkin for Al Dark for the week. I think Baines should be in a platoon with Evans in right, but I may have broken that up by accident at some point. Thanks, Smasher! Rance should go.

Smasher Dynamo posted:So, wait, exactly what (generally useless) trades have you guys made? The one from NotThatSamBeckett is ready to be accepted by me, but I have it on hold right now, so none yet. BWFC, the main reason I don't want Roseboro is because I don't see him doing any better than Bassler as my backup catcher to Porter. If I'm going to go for a catcher at some point, I'm going to want to get a starter to push Porter into the backup position.

Though, I would probably use Brothers, Boone is probably a better starting option than Frank White at 2B and Scutero is a better bench infielder than Vinny Castilla so I don't think the trade is quite as useless to me as you're saying.

 It's not really damage control, it's not so ineffectual as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but it's probably somewhere in between. Rodriguez back in for Sweeney, and Sweeney can replace Cabrera at 1B vs. righties. I suppose it stands to reason that when I fix my pitching staff (they're not the greatest, but they work!) everyone else dies.

Smasher Dynamo posted:So, wait, exactly what (generally useless) trades have you guys made? Definitely the Hippo Vaughn trade actually for-real happened. Also, because you love me, in the event that tonight's update doesn't answer these questions, could you?  What are Youk and Hippo's OVRs? Am I correct to believe that Kevin Youkilis profiles as a poor-range/poor-arm/awesome-glove player who knows how to handle himself at either 1B or 3B? Can I legally run out a rotation that includes Hoss, Bender, Hippo, and Hendrix? (Does the answer change depending on whether it's a 4- or 5-man?)----- Pander, just to be clear, is Bill Lohrman intentionally excluded from that proposal?

I'm afraid that I have some bad news. My laptop's hard drive died yesterday, and while they replaced it today, everything was wiped, including all my data for the Pessimists. I'm a moron, so nothing was backed up. So, Smasher, I think it would be best if I retire from the current league. I'm really sorry to do this near the end of the season, but I don't see many options. If you see a way around this, then please, tell me.

Move The Chosen Dunn back to 1B, Al Simmons back to LF. If Al Simmons isn't rested enough, then move Mark "Motherfuckin'" Grace to 1B and The Chosen Dunn to LF 'till Big Al's had enough of a lie down.

Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Losin' against the Losers  : Yoshida's out with an injury, so I'll take care of this on my own. The Losers are the reigning Hardcore Champs, and now the Spooners are going to make their fourth attempt to win this title. The first three didn't go so well, but maybe things will be different this time. Or maybe not, as the Losers cruise to a win in Game 1. : Topper Rigney keeps the Spooners' hopes of winning the Hardcore Title alive. : But, in a battle of aces, Satchel Paige is able to be just a bit better than Ed Walsh, and the Losers retain their Hardcore title for their second straight defense. : And now the Pessimists will get a shot...and will be drilled by the Losers for their trouble. : And Drysdale with a complete game win, and the Losers retain again.  : And the Losers complete the sweep. That was not the best series the Pessimists have ever had. : With the Losers making two straight defenses, next week will open with Losers-Oranges and then either Losers-Dervishes or Oranges-Tornados.Team Statistics       Analysis You have exactly one pitcher with an ERA under 4...and that's Craig Lefferts, and he has an ERA of 3.95. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that might be a problem.       Analysis Well, sweeping the Unicorns will probably just about wrap up a playoff berth. Still, you might want to try out Pie Traynor.       Analysis Let's hope for a monster Gauntlet run.       Analysis Fast running, good pitching, and proof that an Expansion owner can build a winner in a single season.       Analysis WAKE UP!       Analysis That was as bad a week as you could have had, but as long as you don't do it again, you should still be able to get into the playoffs pretty easily.       Analysis Things seemed to have bottomed out, at least.       Analysis The ship is sinking The ship is sinking There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room The poor, the lame, the blind Who are the ones that we kept in charge? Killers, thieves and lawyers! God's away, God's away, God's away on business, business       Analysis Ten times better than they have any right to be! At least Joss will be back for the playoffs.       Analysis Soon.       Analysis I do not understand your team on a fundamental level. Your lineup isn't that good, your pitching isn't that good, but here you are, primed to survive the season.       Analysis So, uh...no. The Bulldogs aren't going to cheat their way out of this one.       Analysis  : You come at the king, kw0134, you'd best not miss!      Analysis And that should just about do it for the rest of the regular season.       Analysis Michael Jordan is the only man standing between you and relegation.       Analysis Your master plan hasn't been too impressive so far. Standings and Leaders     Playoffs/Gauntlet Picture    A. Send Dunn to his doom! - 1 vote B. No one would miss Rance! - 8 votes "Very well," Marauder motioned to Rance Mullinix, "Here, Rance, take this bomb, and prepare for transport right into the heart of the enemy's foremost battlecruiser. It will be up to you to place the bomb, and then get out. You'll have fifteen minutes to complete this task!" A light shimmered around Rance, and he was gone. "The rest of us will be able to track him on the viewing globe!" The viewing globe activated, and began displaying a visual of the interior of the battlecruiser, leaving unexplained just how Marauder was able to get this footage. Either way, Rance's mission did not last long. He materialized in a corridor, and then the bomb immediately exploded. The globe switched to an exterior shot, and the battlecruiser was soon consumed in a series of explosions, destroying it utterly. "Wait, was that what was supposed to happen?" Mark Grace was more than a bit confused. Marauder smiled, "I'll admit it seemed a bit neater just to have the bomb go off immediately, rather than waiting until he got to the reactor room." The other members of the team just shrugged their shoulders. "What, is no one going to be shocked that I just knowing sent one of you to your deaths?" Eri Yoshida spoke for the team, "Well, I mean, you are Marauder. And it's just Rance Mullinix, so...I guess I'm a bit confused to why you couldn't have just teleported the bomb by itself, though." A quizzical expression formed on Marauder's face, "Yes...I could have done that. Too late now, I suppose. Unless I was going to fire up the time machine...but I'd really rather not, as it's in storage, and we'd have to move a lot of boxes. Best to just move on to planning a memorial service for Rance. After all, it's not like we're savages. Let's split up the work, that will make it go faster. Mark Grace, what would you like to take care of?" DECISION TIME Will Mark Grace... A. Take care of the invitations, after all, it's not like Rance had a ton of friends or family. B. Take care of finding a Zoroastrian priest, as per Rance's instructions left in his last will and testament. C. Take care of the catering...after all, gyros can be catered, can't they?

Screw it, I'll cancel any Hamels trades unless I can get a legit starting LF for him (which I won't be able to do since Hamels seems to have a bad BBM rep). For what it's worth, I absolutely expect to gently caress up the Gauntlet even if I manage to sneak it at the ninth round.

Alas, here we are in the final days, unlikely to make the playoffs. Let us make this last-ditch effort, then, with all the strength we can muster! I declare a ratings challenge! Ratings Challenge: Hippo Vaughn While I would love to give Hippo a chance to prove himself, the time for proving is up! It's now or never! Hence, consider the evidence: - Hippo Vaughn had an exceptional career, with a total ERA+ of 119 despite actually spending some time as a prospect/declining player in the Majors. - He was not just ERA lucky. Vaughn was well above his peers in his ability to strike hitters out, and also relatively capable at limiting walks and avoid home runs. - Vaughn was just at his peak in 1919. He set his career ERA+ best of 160 that season, capping off a 4-year stretch with a combined 147 ERA+. In 1918 he was fully 64% better than average at striking out hitters, then in 1919 he cut his walks down to 1.8 BB/9 (league average 2.3). In the two seasons combined, he allowed 7 HR in 597 IP (also below league average). In 1917 he had struck out an exceptional 5.9 batters per 9. - Vaughn is clearly superior to Claude Hendrix, a consistent 94. He's roughly comparable to '02 Addie Joss and Noodles Hahn (clearly a worse pitcher than Joss, of course, but that was Addie's rookie season). They rolled 94 and 93/96, respectively, in my league this very season. - Vaughn has himself consistently rolled 94 OVR in the SuperLeague. Indeed, the one I just traded for rolled 94 in both his EC and SL appearances. He was a 94 even as I acquired him, despite a lengthy stay in the minors! I rest my case.

 I'm going to drop Cano to the minors and call up Appling to the bench for now, seeing as Santo's played long enough to actually justify his rating, since he's healthy again and I can find a use for him eventually. And our doughy protagonist needs to do some Catering.
