Alright, folks, it's time for Expansion Cup XI! And we're going to party like it's 2011. Analysis A lot of the team isn't working quite right yet. But hey, Carl Hubbell wins the Cy Young 1/3rd of the time. Analysis That rotation is... something. The offensive assets are probably there to compete if managed and supplemented properly in the draft. Analysis Potentially erratic but good pitching performing pretty reasonably so far. Kent and Schmidt look to be useful infield group to build around. Analysis I'm behind any team that takes an Aaron/Mathews Braves and bolts a few more elite hitters to it. And you even seem to have found something of a rotation! Analysis I built this team in the inaugural EC with ten points. This was before I was especially good at selecting pitchers. Look at that offense, though. Analysis Probably the most complete team in this half of the cup. Big Train and Old Hoss together with a decent offensive framework is probably the favorite for the Taggart League Analysis I have nothing but respect for the magic you work with aged pitchers, TKBomber. Dan Brouthers is an very intriguing player and I'm mildly irritated you got him from cbx. Analysis That rotation is nothing but a bag of dice. They're mostly rolling well at the moment at least. The offense I'll reserve judgment on for now. Analysis Brett Wallace? Billy Martin? I'm not sure why they're here when there are a number of potentially good pitchers languishing on your feeders. Analysis Sorry about the Kanley Jansen bit, I suppose I was bound to miss something. I certainly hope they do better, I'm just not sure there's enough reliable SL talent on the team. Analysis I don't know that I'd ever trust a lot of those pitchers long term, but you're getting production of out useful positions right now. Analysis I swapped Jeter and Arod's fielding positions since Rodriguez is a much better defender. Otherwise, the pitching may or many not come around. It's not a fundamentally unsound team. Analysis I'll have to take a closer look at your feeders. Basically none of those pitchers can be trusted for any length of time, as you're beginning to see. Analysis I'm not sure why you needed so many white bench players. I guess I'm not surprised, though you probably skipped a few useful bullpen pieces. Analysis With Chipper's roll backing up that offense, I think the Braves rotation could make the Hipsters a dark horse candidate for the league title. Analysis Zoilo Versalles... well, you're not a DH team, don't worry. Harmon Killebrew is Killebrewing the ball through the first month. Analysis Living up to their name so far indeed... But that's mostly because double Bonds played in only one game this month. Once he's back things should look up. Analysis Riggs is certainly proving useful so far. And that rotation looks like it could keep you afloat. I only let you go as high as Denver though. I don't want any 300 HR factors disrupting the cup. Edit: now with added analysis!

Greatest* Googly-Mooglies Bad month, but it happens. Especially when Kenley Jansen is set as your #5 starter for some reason. No changes, but I'm reposting my lineups and rotation: Lineup vs RHP: 1.

Okay, I'm assuming that there's some sort of graphical glitch or something weird, because I-Rod has no business playing 2B. Also, goddamn is that not the worst loving bullpen in the history of bullpens. Pitching: Call up Art Nehf for Joe Bush and move him to 3rd in the rotation. Move Kevin Brown to 5th in the rotation (I-rod remains personal catcher) So, the pitching rotation should look like SP1 Carl Mays SP2 Dutch Leonard SP3 Art Nehf SP4 Sam Jones SP5 Kevin Brown (Personal Catcher I-Rod) For simplicity's sake, I'll just repost the DH and No-DH lineups NO DH LF Harry Hooper 2B Riggs Stephenson CF Hack Wilson RF Babe Ruth 1B Rafael Palmeiro 3B Miguel Cabrera C Gabby Hartnett SS Hanley Ramirez P DH LF Harry Hooper 2B Riggs Stephenson CF Hack Wilson RF Babe Ruth 1B Rafael Palmeiro 3B Miguel Cabrera C Gabby Hartnett SS Hanley Ramirez DH Ivan Rodriguez

Well, that was a month. At least it was a net positive. Some decent info too. Not gonna make many changes yet, see how things are doing, but it's looking like it might be time to call up Ray Culp if Don Gullett doesn't stop imploding on the mound. That will happen next month if conditions don't improve. Likewise, might be time to swap Perez and Evans, or even put Yas on first, put Chili in the OF and bench both, but another month of data first. One change I will be making, seeing a weary Johnny Bench put in the worst month of his life in the sport, is platoon Johnny Bench and Carlton Fisk because it seems even a mediocre Carlton Fisk half the time is better then a barely-living Johnny Bench all the time. And yeah, noticing some weirdness on my lineup (Why is nobody except Johnny Bench, Reggie Smith, and Joe Morgan playing their assigned positions? What happened to my batting order? Why is BOB BAILEY in the game with a perfectly good Concepcion and Chili Davis on the bench?) and that I'm in a DH league, which I didn't expect. If I'm DH, I guess bring up Jack Clark and make him DH, send Bob Bailey to minors Also, DH Batting Order- 3B Petrocelli CF Smith RF Staub DH Clark LF Yastrzemski SS Concepcion C Bench 2B Morgan 1B Evers Mr. Locke fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Oct 15, 2013 |

Beet posted:I will not be including any analysis the first month, I'll let you guys figure out who looks like they were probably a bad call to put on your roster on your own. Plus I'm in a bit of a hurry tonight. FINE THEN, NERD, I WILL Analysis: That bullpen scares me, but it's the EC, so everybody's bullpen scares me. Analysis: Cleanup hitter Bob Bailey, Ace Starter Atlee Hammaker. Good luck with that. Analysis: This team looks a lot like my first team, which made the play in game their first season and died a pitiful death in the Gauntlet in the second. Analysis: Lot of good pieces in hard to fill spots. I forsee good stuff from this team. Analysis: Hank Aaron hitting the snot out of the ball being balanced by Pedro Martinez's bad first month. He'll recover. Analysis: Some of the best players in the league, but ghastly depth could end you if certain players [ Analysis: Nice well-rounded team, better than its April record Analysis: Sure hope Smasher doesn't figure out our conspiracy between Cardinals fans to gift you the EC title Analysis: BRING UP EURY PEREZ Analysis: How is this team 8-18? You're better than this. Sub in a few guys, but don't do anything hasty. Analysis: Keep on keepin' on. Analysis: Thank you for more evidence of my "Matt Holliday is Bad" theory. Analysis: LARRY DOBY WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVE. Also, yeesh that rotation. Analysis: If your ace remains Dustin Hermanson and your cleanup hitter Terry Jones, you'll be as successful as the Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential run. Analysis: Something tells me you're drafting a catcher in the Dispersal Draft. (Don't trust that 94 POT from Santiago, he won't hit it.) Analysis: DAVE VERES! BACK FROM MY NIGHT TERRORS A DECADE AGO! NOW IN THE SUPER LEAGUE! Analysis: Fine rotation, decent SL closer, DOUBLE BONDS , likely high dispersal pic, you'll be fine. Analysis: Might be able to dinger your way to hanging around the SL.

From the desk of the general manager of the South Dakota Marmosets, Zodiac5000 First, the South Dakota Marmosets do not support Dave Veres, or his being allowed to pitch three more innings than Billy Wagner. The marmosets are extremely unhappy with this state of affairs, and will act immediately to indemnify the proud fans of Brookings, South Dakota, as well as the surrounding counties and Indian reservations. Grizzly Jones, the Marmosets' mascot and the groundskeeper of the mysterious cave in right field, has assured me that Veres will not be seen again, but that he is now in a very safe, dark, and somewhat cramped place. The Marmosets take this as a sign that Veres is simply living in a poorly lit bed and breakfast, possibly in nearby Mitchell. Regarding the Zoilo Versalles situation, the Marmosets fully support Zoilo, and wish him well during his time here in Brookings. He is welcome to enjoy the luxurious amenities of the home dugout bench, where he is to sit and stay still or receive vicious beatings by manager John McGraw. Move Billy Wagner to setup man, Dave Veres to the... minors, and Kevin MacReynolds on the bench I'll fiddle around with order later. One month isn't enough for me to have a good idea of who should be where. Lineups: No-DH 1. Luis Gonzalez LF 2. Craig Biggio 2B 3. Jeff Bagwell 1B 4. Harmon Killebrew 3B 5. Darryl Strawberry RF 6. Lenny Dykstra CF 7. Gary Carter C 8. Howard Johnson SS 9. [pitcher] DH 1. Luis Gonzalez LF 2. Craig Biggio 2B 3. Jeff Bagwell 1B 4. Harmon Killebrew 3B 5. Darryl Strawberry RF 6. Tony Oliva DH 7.

Average. Always have been, always will. Well, I've lost all hope in my bullpen. And my rotation continues to be less than stellar. The small sample size for Bobby Bonilla is pestering me to keep him in the lineup, but I think it's for the best he stays on the bench, for now at least. Paul Molitor back to 3B, Sadaharu Oh back to 1B, Hector Espino back to DH, and Bobby Bonilla back to the bench. Molitor hits 1st as normal, Oh goes back to hitting 5th, Espino hits cleanup as normal.
