Let's be honest, you never got a good idea for my New Orleans Hurricanes and it deserved nothing but a hasty burial in a shallow grave somewhere when they got relegated. The Don Slaught gimmick grew legs though, which I suppose is that team's most enduring legacy besides THE Thornton Lee.

If anyone wants to trade a draft pick I can move 1983 Frank Tanana - Back of round 2 is fine btw, maybe early round three. VVVV: Ah poo poo your right, sorry I could have sworn! Still, he's a pretty good pitcher. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 02:19 on May 17, 2013 |

Robert_Deadford and the Krakow Dragons are up. e: I have the 39th overall pick, and I like to move that one up four or five picks. I also have the Walney Raker's second round Super-Draft pick to go with it, if someone around 34 or 35 feels like getting another pick to move down five picks. mentholmoose fucked around with this message at 20:13 on May 17, 2013 |

Speaking of trades, I have the 41st pick and am putting out feelers for what people would offer for that. It's too valuable to start drafting at that position for my biggest need, which is a new bullpen, but not so valuable that I'd think I'll get a true starter. Conversely, you might be looking at something that may be gone before the third round starts, so let's talk. Edit: this is my lineup with the addition of an 89 McGwire at 1B. I don't mind moving down a few slots, but I'd want a bullpen-in-a-box if not a pick, which I suspect won't happen. But I can try. I am on IRC and if you message me there we can talk shop or something. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 21:17 on May 17, 2013 |

 Totally not a front for the Sinaloa cartel! Owner: Bograt Location: San Diego, CA Home Grounds: Jack Murphy Stadium Teams Used 1989 Padres 1990 Dodgers 1987 Yankees 2006 Reds Past Records Expansion Cup VIII 90-72, Downing Division Champions Lost to CERN Colliders 3-4 in EC Semi-Finals Super-League IX 74-88, 4th Place, Senor Goodtimes Division, Gauntletted Gauntlet VIII Round 4: 18-22, 3rd Place, Relegated Championship History 2x Television Champions Amazing Facts About the "Amazing" Players of the Tijuana Mules! Catchers '33 Gabby Hartnett Most have forgotten it, but Gabby Hartnett was best known during his playing career for assembling a crack game of "Untouchables" to take down Al Capone, who...wait, that was Elliott Ness. Eh, close enough. '90 Benito Santiago Has played for every Major League team, including three that were subsequently retroactively erased from baseball by the cruel-hearted Bud Selig in his mad scheme to force the introduction of Inter-League play with his horrible Time Cannon. '90 Mike Scioscia Made two appearances on The Simpsons, one of which was good, the other of which is best forgotten. He is currently engaged in an important experiment to see how long a manager can coast on winning a World Series. He's currently in the 11th year of that experiment. Infielders '06 Rich Aurilia (SS) By 2006, knowing that his career was on the downswing, Rich Aurilia tried to reinvent himself as the grittiest player to ever play baseball. He started chewing tobacco, and began to ape the mannerisms and look of Sam Elliott's character in Roadhouse, going so far as to beat up Terry Funk to truly get into that spirit. Unfortunately, his grittiness went too far one day when he decided to deliver a flying clothesline to a second baseman trying to turn a double play, breaking the man's neck in the process. '82 Buddy Bell (3B) Ironically, "Buddy" is actually his real name, and it's the "Bell" part that's a stage name. His real name was "Buddy Reynolds", but when he was coming up with the Indians, it was decided by Indians management that he needed a "hook" to get over with the fans, and so he was repackaged as "Buddy Bell", purportedly the son of former Major Leaguer Gus Bell. It worked out great for Buddy although, it must be said, an attempt to continue the Bell Dynasty with David Bell was largely a disappointment. '89 John Kruk (1B) Many have pointed to the irony of John Kruk only discovering his testicular cancer when he was hit in the groin by an errant Mitch Williams pickoff throw. What few know, however, is that the cancer was revealed by that throw...it was created by that throw. By the 1994 pre-season, when the incident happened, Mitch Williams' skills had degraded to the point where his very pitches were now literally toxic, causing death and injury to any who came in contact with them. Realizing the danger the league was in, Bud Selig, acting quickly, sent Williams to the California Angels, where there was nothing of value for Williams to harm. Some say, though, that it was these dealings with the poisonous Mitch Williams that drove Bud Selig mad, leading to the Time Cannon incident (see note on Benito Santiago). The MACHINE (2B) If only I had built him a little better... '87 Don Mattingly (1B) Donnie Baseball's career with the Yankees lasted from 1982 to 1995. The Yankees won pennants in 1981 and 1996. I'm not saying anything, but the numbers don't lie. '90 Eddie Murray (1B) Eddie Murray is NOT Eddie Murphy. Even though their careers both peaked at the same time, and then petered out into nothing by the late '90s, leaving everyone with a vague sense of dissatisfaction. '87 Willie Randolph (2B) Did you know that Willie Randolph was the manager of the Mets for four seasons? The New York Mets would prefer you did not. '90 Willie Randolph (2B) Willie Randolph played over a decade for the Yankees in the Steinbrenner era, and this wasn't the modern Steinbrenner era, this was the "I'm going to fire Billy Martin seven times just because I can" era. Not sure how Randolph pulled that off, but it is kind of ominous, isn't it? '84 Cal Ripken, Jr. (SS) How did Ripken play so many games in a row? By slowly consuming the souls of all around him...even his brother Billy was not spared. In happier news, Cal Ripken, Jr. had a cameo in Season Five of The Wire, playing a bureaucrat whose incompetence leads to seventy people getting killed in a drug deal gone wrong...somehow. '89 Bip Roberts (3B) Bip got his name by doing things. Terrible things. Let us discuss the matter no further. '89 Garry Templeton (SS) Garry Templeton was traded for Ozzie Smith, in what, at the time, was not considered a particularly imbalanced trade since, unlike Smith, Templeton seemed to actually have a bit of potential as a hitter. That didn't work out for the Padres or for Templeton. As time went on, and Smith's star continued to eclipse Templeton's, Garry grew more and more embittered. Things finally came to a head when Ozzie Smith got featured on an episode of "The Simpsons", leading to Templeton contracting a local scientist to build a "Time Cannon" to erase Smith from history. Unfortunately, the cannon eventually fell into the hands of Bud Selig... Outfielders '06 Adam Dunn (LF) Did you know that Adam Dunn hold a doctorate in baseballonomy from the University of Phoenix? '89 Tony Gwynn (RF) Tony Gwynn was the original bass player for The Pretenders. Look it up! '87 Rickey Henderson (LF) Rickey Henderson stole more bases than anyone in history...but that could not save him Monique, the French Femme Fatale that stole his heart. Read more about it in Rickey Henderson's semi-autobiographial debut novel, "A Leadoff to Remember." '87 Tim Raines (LF) Tim "Rock" Raines was considered a sabermetric darling....a decade before that meant much of anything. Poor Tim. '83 Dave Winfield (RF) Most people remember Dave Winfield winning a championship with the Blue Jays in '92, but few remember the events leading up to that moment, including his career-defining feud with George Steinbrenner than culminated in a "Loser Leaves the Country" match at Survivor Series '91, which Winfield lost after interference from a young Bernie Williams. '87 Dave Winfield (RF) Most people remember Dave Winfield winning a championship with the Blue Jays in '92, but few remember the events leading up to that moment. Dave Winfield, for most of his career, had secretly been working for the CIA, but when he discovered that several of his superior officers had gone rogue, he was forced to flee to Canada until such time as he could bring them down from the inside. Starting Pitchers '90 Tim Belcher Tim Belcher would like you all to know that he no longer bears any ill will to members of the Asian community. None at all. He's totally cool with them now. Okay? Okay. '15 Eddie Cicotte You know how people still debate whether or not Joe Jackson actually helped throw the '19 World Series, and was sympathetically portrayed in Field of Dreams and Eight Men Out. Yeah, Cicotte was super-guilty. '12 Stan Coveleski As a boy, Coveleski worked in the mines for 200 hours a week. This was made possible by the fact that people were much worse at math in those days. '90 Tim Crews When he was fifteen years old, a gypsy at the county fair that he would one day slam his speedboat right into dock. This was an oddly specific prediction, but Tim Crews was never one to meekly submit to destiny. Guess what happened next? '89 Mark Davis Mark Davis won the NL Cy Young in 1989. And then signed a huge free agent contract with the Kansas City Royals. These two events were clearly portents of the apocalypse but a band of elite players, under the leadership of famed numerologist Darren Daulton, managed to reverse the coming Ragnarok by smiting Ewing Kauffman, thereby dooming the Royals to eternal poverty and restoring balance to the world. '92 Juan Guzman Juan Guzman spent most of his post-playing career desperately trying to erase himself from the public consciousness. His reasons for doing so are still unknown. '89 Greg Harris Greg Harris invented the fish taco. '90 Orel Hershiser Technically, it's Orel Hershiser IV, and yes, Orel named one of his kids Orel Hershiser V. What kind of family does that sort of poo poo? '89 Bruce Hurst Bruce Hurst only sounds like some sort of evil aristocrat. In reality, though being a wicked man, he was of modest means. '53 Bob Lemon A teammate once bet Bob Lemon that Lemon couldn't kill a man in cold blood. It was the last bet that teammate ever made. '87 Dave Righetti Dave Righetti once ate a five-pound burrito in one sitting. He has accomplished nothing else of merit in his life. '33 Hal Schumacher Schumacher was known as "Prince Hal" by the press, most likely because of his longstanding rivalry with the ghost of Sir Henry Percy, better known as Hotspur, who was brought back to this plane by the magics of Owen Glendower. '90 Fernando Valenzuela Fernando-mania is now a recognized mental disorder as of the DSM-V. '90 John Wetteland There's nothing funny to say about John Wetteland. In fact, he's so unfunny that I now have to end this obit right now.
