 Did all of my pitching staff literally fall apart at the worst possible time? Son of a bitch. Faber and Nichols on DL. Larry Jackson to SP3, Wes Ferrel to SP4, Bronson Arroyo to Mopup, auto-sort bullpen because i literally cannot even give a gently caress at this point

DannoMack posted:The Mooglies rotation is running with a lot of modern-day guys. A gamble to say the least! Your bottom two being the scariest. Would you care to take a shot on a combo of my SPs getting better rolls for you in exchange for me taking a shot on modern day Kershaw being able to carry me through the gauntlet? Unless that combo could be Maddux and Gibson, I don't think so. But hey, if it could, that would be super!

If you want a dominant lefty, 1998 Randy Johnson exists and his "strike a lot of motherfuckers out and also give up fly balls" thing isn't as useful for the Pharmas as it would be for a team with lovely IF defense.

Expansion Cup XI August: Getting Tense... I'm just going to preface this update for Taggart League (no-DH owners). Interleague is over, and the script only pulls DH lineups. Don't worry if it looks all crazy, your no-DH lineup is correct, trust me. Also in some cases I declined to let some owners sub in generated rookies for real players, but that's not really a bad thing.       Analysis 30 games and you lose half a game. Shame. Still, everything seems to be working right and you've got six games against the Dragons next month. Good luck?       Analysis I really have no explanation for Atlee Hammaker. Just beware.       Analysis Holy poo poo, literally all of your position players are sore. At least you're just competing for draft position at this point.       Analysis Managing to keep things interesting. I just don't know if your rotation has it in them, though...       Analysis I don't loving know. I guess it's like Super League II all over again.       Analysis Looks like this team may be the real deal. Or at least, it'll be the closest thing to successful new blood in the Dynamo League since my Somali Pirates took SLX by storm.       Analysis At least some of your biggest problems are in easy-to-fill postions.       Analysis I'm sorry about Rickey, I really am. But check out dat fukken Frisch.       Analysis Cesar Cedeno cleaned up, at least. Ichiro didn't actually play, seeing as interleague is over.       Analysis Honestly dude, your team isn't that bad on paper. Unfortunately, the Super League doesn't care about such things.       Analysis Stan Musial is loving amazing but he can't do everything himself.       Analysis Despite all reason, your team still occupies its unsustainable position atop the McQueen League. You just need to hold Cthulhu off for another six games this month...       Analysis You're basically guaranteed the first overall pick at this point. Whether or not that's a good thing is up to you.      Analysis Aside from you wanting to put a fictional player into your rotation this month, there weren't any issues. You're still tied for the 2nd overall pick.       Analysis Welp, looks like you're definitely a longshot in the Taggart League. But, honestly, I like your team a lot, even if the Dynamo League is basically impossible to break into at this point.       Analysis I'd make some remark about how you're under your pythag by 7 games, but gently caress, it's the EC, that's a good thing.       Analysis Turns out when you've got two Bonds it's hard to be the worst. Orval Overall doesn't think he'll have trouble helping you with that come the Super League, though.       Analysis No offense, but I was pretty dubious about you keeping up with Detroit.

 Beet posted:Despite all reason, your team still occupies its unsustainable position atop the McQueen League. You just need to hold Cthulhu off for another six games this month... It's all gotten a bit silly at the Wawel this EC. OK, so my hitters are beating up on the opposition pitching, but that means nothing yet. It's still the pitching I'm worried about. It was always the pitching, although its gotten slightly better every month. Roster Changes! 1. A-Rod is sore again! Make him the DH 2. Jeter starts at SS and leads off 3. Varitek becomes the principal catcher. Freehan catches for Tiant. And since I have 4 players who can play SS, I am willing to listen to offers for Jeter, Young or McAuliffe. Ideally, I'd like a decent righty SP in exchange, but obviously the deal would be concluded at the end of the season.

gently caress, 3.5 out of 1st and 0 games against the Thunder. I guess I can hope I take 4 or 5 out of 6 from the Dragons and then the Dragons can do the same to Australia. Still, with a dead Rickey and my 2 best hitters sore in a month with just 2 off days (and the first one is 2 weeks away) I don't really see it happening. Might as well try, though; I've got a better shot of winning than I do of tanking. CHANGES 1.) I get expanded rosters for September, right? That means I have access to Utley and Delgado. 2.) NEW LINEUPS for this month only: Vs. RHP 1.) Frisch, 3b 2.) Waner, RF 3.) Olerud, 1b 4.) Thome, DH 5.) Abreu, CF I'm sure this'll work great! 6.) Delgado, LF 7.) Alomar, 2b 8.) Steinbach, C 9.) Rollins, SS Vs. LHP 1.) Alomar, 2b 2.) Olerud, 1b 3.) Molitor, DH 4.) Canseco, LF 5.) Abreu, RF 6.) Steinbach, C 7.) Polanco, 3b 8.) Rollins, SS 9.) White, CF 3.) Send Rich Gossage to the negative zone or something. I only want a 5-man pen of Eck/Corsi/Adams/Honeycutt/Ellis 4.) Turn the sliders for pinch hitters and pinch runners to 5. END CHANGES

The Marmosets continue to give me a mild sense of confidence that I can contend after the dispersal draft. Craig Biggio can play catcher, so if there's a Hornsby or something in play at my pick, I can get him, or just take the best centerfielder and get some random rear end 2B in the 2nd round. If the dispersal draft is anything like the other drafts I have watched in the SL, there will be a free-range Nap Lajoie just looking for a home. Travis Cecil should be able to anchor shortstop, and he's young, and therefore will not die horribly if asked to play most days.

Not for nothing since the Congratulators used a Nap Lajoie, but at some point I kind of want to look at all these dispersal drafts filled with Nap Lajoies and say "Having Nap Lajoie probably isn't as good a thing as we all think since his teams all get relegated."

There's no doubt probably a good half dozen posts that delve into why Nap Lajoie isn't an ideal 2B.

Oh, I'd never call him the ideal 2B, but he does appear to generally be the SL average 2B on SLreference.

tl;dr: He's a bad fielder with no power and only decent speed, but he hits the ball into the gap with alarming regularity so depending on your opposition and home stadium he'll either hit ~.350 with a billion doubles or something in the .275 range with next to no doubles, he's best suited for an 8 hole in the Dynamo and a bit higher in the Smasher as a result but everybody  at his average and puts him at the top of the lineup where he never steals bases, gets in the way of 2/3 hitters with any speed and only occasionally hits well enough to offset this.
