Re: analysis, yeah that sounds like a plan. Tejada to 3B.

Would platooning Helton and Cedeno at 1B be a move I should consider?

Also, Slide Ford and Dierker up, put Lary at 5th starter until Richard recovers.

Hey, you have a bleeding hole in LF, and I need a left handed right fielder, can we work out a deal?

This why I drafted him for you, by the way. And Helton's got a big power split, but you're not going to get much of that back with Cedeno, and you're better off having him as a bench OF, probably.

You could also use Larry Walker in right and Kaline in left, but hey.

e: Mogul might like Walker better in left than Kaline because I imagine it doesn't know Detroit was stashing Willie Horton in left. Whatevs. Stop using Blades.

I've got no idea about Kaline in left, but I know it doesn't like Walker in left at all for dumb reasons. Well, he's a pretty good RF, and a very bad LF. No idea why. I just assumed Kaline couldn't play left because he wasn't actually in left - but yeah, I will still trade Walker for for a left field platoon pair or whatever. Hit me up in IRC. Or do what marauder suggests and put Kaline in left. But do not keep blades.

HARDER :argh: You didn't even finish 3 innings and you were responsible for a third of the runs against us.

Banish Mel Harder to the minors and give David Wells the #5 slot. Also move Jason Giambi to start at 1B since McGriff doesn't feel like delivering.

We are engaged in a new praxis that has smashed aside hidebound concepts like "power" and "strikeouts" and "youth."

What part of Fain's roll was bad? Is his rating being depressed by fielding, or is he just young?

Super-League IX, Pre-Week 2: All Aboard the Pain Train! Non-Stop...to Injuryville, Population: Your best player!

Injury Report

Antarctica Unspecifieds
Tris Speaker (CF) (Hello Darkness, my old friend...I've come to talk to you again) - Out for Season!

CERN Collders
Eddie Mathews (3B) (Because a vision softly creeping...left its seeds while I was sleeping) - Out for Season!

Montreal Manatees
John Olerud (1B) (And the vision planted it my brain) - 21 days

Oneida Mighty Spooners
Roy Oswalt (SP) (Still remains, within the sound of silence) - 9 days

Web 2.0 Bloggers
Barry Bonds (LF) (Simon and Garfunkled!) - 52 days











With Klein out, it looks like you're going to have to bring in Moises Alou. Welcome to the hell of the 2003 Cubs, TKBomber!








Somehow the magic of Super-League VI and VII seems to be carrying over, because it seems like the Bobbleheads should be completely hosed.








Only 20 steals through your first two weeks? You keep finding new ways to disappoint me, Marauder!








It turns out that a team with absolutely chemistry has problems in a league consisting entirely of complete teams, eh?







: Oh, how they all laughed at me! But now that my brilliant invention of Super Pick'em has taken off, I hold them all in the palm of my hand! Hah!
: So...Hardcore Title defenses, then?



: And the Unicorns show some muscle and they'll take the Hardcore Title with a sweep. That's the fourth time they've won the Hardcore Title...and I guess I'll have to rearrange their banner again once they drop it. drat.
: Two interesting notes. First, Cy Young got the win despite being roughly 743 years old. Is Mogul being nicer to elderly pitchers this time around, or is this just a fluke? And second, Eddie Mathews is gone until the Gauntlet. That can't be good for theacox, although, as a Brewers fans, at least he's used to disappointment.



: And the Unicorns will retain over the Postmodernists, who either believe that Denny Rainwater will lead them to victory, or are completely insane.
: Or both. It definitely could be both.




: And in the Smasher League, it looks like the W's will put the Television Title on the line against the Harvard Elites.
: Fun fact: Harvard, Massachusetts is actually closer to Worcester than Cambridge!
: Well, that would be the first fun thing ever to involve Worcester, MA.



: McDowell continues to have a slow start, but the W's retain over the Elites.
: And the older Barry Bonds still doesn't have a hit through nine games. That has to be frustrating for Mooseontheloose.



: And the W's will hold onto the Television Title once again as they play three one-run games against their fellow team from North England, the Rakers. McDowell does take another loss, though.
: Could they be rivals? Could we call it the Lancashire Derby?
: I think Walney is in Cumbria.
: Isn't that the same thing as Lancashire?
: I...don't know. I'm going to have to take some time to figure this out. Until next time, my 24 hour party people, rock on!


There is always time for more Pick 'em!
