NotThatSamBeckett posted:I'm not about to craft a deal for each person interested, just make an offer. Promptly, if possible, as I'm on the clock. I'd be willing to trade down, of course, if it's an expansion team. I still stand by my statement. In 1957, Williams is getting up there in age and isn't the consensus #1 pick. It still depends on the needs of the team picking. The CERN Colliders don't need Williams, they have Ruth and Gehrig. They'd like to have Williams, sure, but they're not doomed without him.

Ahh, hell with it. Teddy, I hope you find success elsewhere. This would have worked perfectly if only the Suicides or Biosparks had been just a little more awful. The Patagonian Postmodernists select  Ronald Reagan!

Actually, speaking of Pander... I'm looking to try and trade for a dispersal pick in the early second round (you guys in the sandwich round would qualify too). There's a specific player I'm hoping to grab, so I'm looking for an agreement that we would execute if my player is still available at your pick. Package I would be offering is one of my top 4 starters + one of my glut of infielders (Frisch/Alomar/Rose/Youkilis) + a reliever (though not Smoltz unless something is coming back to me). My 4th rounder I guess can be in play too if that's your preference.

 When Pungry's in charge, every mission is a suicide mission! Owner: Pungry Location: Seattle, WA Home Grounds: Comerica Park Teams Used 1918 Boston Red Sox 1999 Kansas City Royals 2006 Detroit Tigers Past Records Expansion Cup VII 71-92, 5th Place, Already Relegated Division Super-League VIII 70-92, 4th Place, Norris-Smythe Division, Gauntletted Gauntlet VII Round 4: 16-24, 3rd Place, Relegated In lieu of an obit, Pungry has asked to use this space to publish a poem he wrote about the Seattle Suicides. Shattered Glass by Pungry Panes of glass on the ground In so many pieces in front of me Where did these shards comes What did they do to me? The wounds in my mind The no one can see They bleed inside my brain The glass that cut me deep The starry skies that flew over head The shone so bright Under the stars I loved you And you broke the glass of my heart No hope comes from these skies The gray that stretches forever The raindrops like tears on my head Splash on the glass on the ground How could you do this to me? My heart, attack like ninjas Who hate me and make fun of me Because I am so different The glass, it cuts like a knife Oh, God, take me now The wounds that take my blood Drain me away Also, I've included a copy of the Seattle Suicides' suicide note, for archival purposes Dear League that never appreciated me, All I wanted was to have a real franchise that people would appreciate and be friends with. But you didn't care, and so I've decided to kill my team. I put Ted Williams and Babe Ruth on the same team, and I thought that was pretty special. But everyone just made fun of me because I didn't have any real infielders. I tried to get a real infield together, but they wouldn't let me. So I'm going to a better place, where no one will make fun of me for putting Carlos Guillen at 2B. And it'll be great, and they'll play Linkin Park all the time, and no one will make fun of me for listening to Linkin Park, and they didn't close that Hot Topic in the mall after that fire. It's going to be awesome! Why couldn't you love me? All the best, Pungry and the Seattle Suicides P.S. Please forward this letter to Linkin Park Bonus Content! A list of the 10 greatest cyborgs to ever play in Major League Baseball: 10. Kirk McCaskill Canadian Inudstries, Project Zed-Zed 6 One of the first cyborgs developed in Canada, this unit, whose real name was K-RK 7000, was designed to be an efficient, clean-burning right-handed power pitcher. Unfortunately, Canadian experience with cybernetics was limited at the time, and the McCaskill's primary power control unit failed in just its second year of operation. While repairs were made, it was determined that much of the damage could not be fixed. McCaskill continued to pitch in the majors for several years afterwards, but was generally considered a disappointment and set back the progress of Canadian cyborgs several years. 9. Dan Pasqua Futuretech Consortium, X-7X X One of the earlier cyborgs to reach the majors, Dan Pasqua was designed to be a mid-range slugger. Before he could make his mark, however, several structural defects were found in his cyber-eyes. Despite numerous attempts at repair, the defects led to a premature end of Pasqua's active service. 8. Wally Joyner Utech, Project No. D21 Despite being a robot, Wally Joyner was still very, very boring. 7. Tom Henke Cyberdyne Industries, T-800 Tom Henke's nickname was the Terminator. Because he actually was the Terminator. Unlike the film adaptation, which was based on true events. Tom Henke did succeed at killing Sarah Connor, and thus preventing the birth of John Connor, the man who would save mankind from robot oppression. However, James Cameron found that a story about the end of mankind at the hands of deadly robots was not marketable, and so changed the ending. 6. Mike Marshall Scientech Industries, Unit No. 11-47 Mk.1 Mike Marshall, tragically, came to believe that he was, in fact, a real human, and so has spent most of past few decades arguing strenuously that there was no reason that the human body couldn't pitch 200 innings in relief in a single season, assuming that his own accomplishment was proof of that. 5. Dale Murphy Utech, Project No. D17 For a few seasons in the early '80s, it certainly appeared as if Dale Murphy would finally prove the viability of a cyborg baseball star. Unfortunately, the cyborg parts had not been properly rated for the heat and humidity of Atlanta, and quickly degraded, leaving him nothing but a former shell of himself after only a few years. 4. Devon White Magnatech Industries, Unit X6-7492 White Unfortunately, while the fielding software installed into White's robo-cortex worked to perfection, the programmers faced numerous problems with getting White's hitting tool to operate successfully. Ultimately abandoning the project in the late '90s after accepting that Devon White was a sunk cost. 3. Howard Johnson Sumitomo Mitsui Group, Project Gemini Alpha Part of the Sumitomo Mitsui Group's "Project Gemini", wherein two different cyborgs were created to test different pieces of next-generation hardware and software before all components were to be integrated into a final product, Howard Johnson carried the power and patience modules in his liquid memory, as well as bio-enhancements to his athleticism. 2. Matt Williams Sumitomo Mitsui Group, Project Gemini Omega The other half of "Project Gemini", Matt Williams also carried the power module, as well as the fielding module. While both halves of Project Gemini met with limited success in the Major Leagues, the attempt to pool those experiences into a single unit, codenamed "Howilliams Monsoon" led to the regrettable "Block 17 Incident", where Monsoon, unwilling to let mere humanity dictate his life, took control of an office building in an attempt to create cyborgocracy. 1. Barry Bonds BALCO Labs PEDs were just a cover story.

So uh, was it discussed in the IRC (my internet has been out) or are we just glossing over the fact that the Bangers came really, really close to beating the Macho Men? Because holy poo poo. Or alternatively, the bangers were going to be relegated win or lose due to the ~unique circumstances~ and I missed that bit.

ScottyJSno posted:Was '89 Bonds over 2000 Bonds the right pick? Only time will tell. Someone before thought '89 had more merit, probably because of versatility, but you would think '00 Bonds could hit better. Not sure that mogul really has '00 Bonds as good as he should be, though. Really, you shouldn't be worrying because you got Barrold loving Bonds.

 With the 7th overall pick in the dispersal draft, the Montreal Manatees select Roger Clemens ('86). Beauty before age. Here's hoping young Clemens who had yet to prove himself in the Bigs performs better than old, experienced Clemens who had discovered powerful butt injections.

Not sure that mogul really has '00 Bonds as good as he should be, though. 2000 Bonds will hit home runs and draw walks. 1989 Bonds will hit a few less home runs & strike out a bit more but he'll steal a bunch more bases & probably be a little better defensively thanks to being 11 years younger. Neither is a bad selection, but which one's better for which team is too heavily dependent on your stadium, your pitching & the hitters around him to definitively say one's better than the other.

The Luna Landers reject the notion of entering a tournament for a lesser title. We've already had our fair share, and our only goal now is the Big One. We are also looking to trade up for one of the next few Dispersal Draft picks. We have high-end starting pitching to offer, including 1946 Bob Feller.

Theacox If you're not going to take the EC prize, what would you trade it to me for? I've got a bunch of stuff that I'd be willing to sell that is potentially better than what's on the board for you: The Mystery Envelope, Walter Johnson, and 1930 Gabby Hartnett - a younger version of the guy who just went two picks ago.
