 Firstly, In a move that will surely improve the team by 30 wins, the Muggers move to 1985 Busch Stadium for SLXII. Secondly, I now have a ~*~Team Spreadsheet~*~ so everyone go look at it and then trade me their picks. e: now viewable!!! Monicro fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Nov 20, 2013 |

All I'll say is that none of those players are the equal of whats draftable right now. In this draft, Strasburg would probably be available in the 4th round, and Harrah and Cullenbine aren't good enough to make up the difference.

Well, I did offer him the choice of Fergie Jenkins, but he opted for Strasburg. Batting-wise, I don't know if I can offer a whole lot more from my current team that would fit the Kernels, but I can offer my first-round pick in the Super-Draft, which is expected to be chock full of good infielders.

Now, it's true that Lance Berkman is definitely a better hitter than Greg Gross. But he doesn't provide nearly as many kung fu black belts.

That is almost as bad as my #1 Super Draft + #1 Dispersal Draft pick for Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal. Almost.

 Owner: bawfuls Location: Wherever the Proletariat yearns for freedom Home Grounds: The People's Stadium Founded: Super-League XI Teams Used Communist! Honors -None- Obit Comrade Bawfuls, your team has failed, and failed miserably. And this is not the first time that Marxism has failed to produce a winning team in the Super-League. No, this is the third time such a team has been relegated after a single season. Why must this be? I posit, comrade, that the truth of the matter is that Marxism is simply not compatible with the superstructure of the Super-League. The Marxist view of history is that the progressive evolution of the means of production ultimately produces class conflict that inevitably results in a system of class relations until, at its most advanced state, capitalism gives way to socialism, and finally, communism, the ultimate form of society, at which point the history of class struggle ceases to be as only class exists. In the Super-League, however, there is no evolution, no end. Just the same misery repeated ad infinitum. To wit, these are the titles of the 328 regular season updates produced by myself. Each is broadly the same as all of the others. Nothing has changed, nothing has been learned, nothing ever gets any better. Look at it: 1. Super-League, Week 1: Catch the Fever!1 2.

Surely Olivia Wilde can't ruin every movie she's in!" This one, I actually got right. 3Subtitled: "Brought to you by Cowboys & Aliens coming to theaters this Friday?

See footnote 2. 4Subtitled: "This week's games brought to you by Columbiana, coming out this August. Here's the deal, we put Zoe Saldana in a catsuit for ten minutes, and you ignore the fact that she is nowhere good enough an actress to carry a film. It's a fair trade...we suggest you take it."

Trade Offer  Thunder's 2nd round pick and 1929 Heilmann for the Goog's 2nd round pick. Marauder <SmasherDynamo> In fact, under his control, Marauder has the following spare catchers: A.J. Pierzynski, Roger Bresnahan, Elston Howard, Carlton Fisk, Johnny Roseboro, Smoky Burgess, Sandy Alomar, Earl Battey, Gene Tenace, Thurman Munson, Ramon Hernandez, JAck Clements. You can probably deduce from the Thunder's roster that I'm going to draft a new DH with my 2nd round pick, and them I'm short a catcher and an SP4. I notice you have approximately a billion spare catchers, so is there any trades you'd be interested in? Obviously I'd love Fisk but I may not be able to afford him. My roster is here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499603&userid=170803&perpage=40&pagenumber=17#post420318953 I;ve since acquired Don Bradman, Bo Jackson, LeBron James and Jim Thorpe and sold Heilmann CF Balla Can I intrest you in a deal for your pick? I can start with Travis Jackson, my third round pick, Eddie Cicotte and as a random throw in Bo Jackson? Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Nov 21, 2013 |

This is a deal you should not accept, CFBalla. I say this not because I want your pick, but because I don't want Cthulhu's team getting any better than it already is. Also your infield can't support Cicotte and Bo Jackson will be useless.

Balla, I said in IRC that I'd look over your feeders to see if you missed anything, but then you left. I'm not done yet, but you've left some things on the table. 1.) John Franco absolutely should be rostered. Yeah he's old as poo poo, but he's been fine (and alternately not fine) in the SL at that age. Give him a shot. 2.) Ancient Tony Phillips also probably warrants a roster spot. No idea how he'd be at that age, but he has worked in the past in the SL and maybe could be an insurance policy somewhere 3.) Bobby Howry also merits a look 4.) I'm gonna get piled on for this, but Rick Reed walks NOBODY. If you can get a competent infield behind him (your right side with Avila and Olerud is already fine) I could see an off chance of him working as a starter against all odds. 5.) Rusty Staub is young enough you might be able to fake him in RF. Either way, dude hits. 6.) Baby Lance Parrish is probably a better backup C than what you currently have 7.) Steve Grilli isn't nearly as good as his son

It's something I'd have tried in the EC just to see if the sim loved his control enough for it to strangely work out. I think the other roster moves are solid, though, even if Staub is going to move around in RF like 2011 Lance Berkman.

He was extraordinarily average, while his clone on the Florida Oranges - of the same season and the same age - put up a staggering 160 OPS+ And was easily the one carrying the Oranges this season. So yeah, you run the risk of getting either an "average" season or a ridiculously good one.

I'm going to say that the Ted Sox's bigger problem was putting Wilbur Wood into the rotation and keeping him there all season. Also, having a stadium with 388-foot power alleys while having guys like Mickey Tettleton, Mel Ott, Mike Schmidt and Yaz in the lineup. Still, I think the Ted Sox were a better team than their record indicates, even though I'm not sure they were better than a 78-82 wins at their best.

The Thunder draft 1928 Hornsby Most Comparable Player to Don Bradman: an Essay. The prize for the EC this year was Don Bradman, and Smasher tasked me with coming up with a comp. We will start with a discussion of Bradman the player. It's difficult to overstate how good Bradman was at cricket, so I will attempt to put it in a baseball context. Bradman is the most successful cricket batsman by a country mile - averaging 99.94 runs per out where the next highest is 62 runs per out and only 2 other guys are above 60 and 50 means you get into the hall of fame. This is 4.4 standard devations above cricket runs per out. To put this in a baseball context, here is a single season line that is 4.495 Std deviations above average: .370 / .582 / .799 (2002) and here is one that is is 'only' 4.25 above average .378 / .512 /.846 (1921). Fans of baseball will recognize the hitters that produced those lines - but those are those hitters peak seasons, and the 3rd and 4th best seasons by a baseball player ever. Those seasons are merely average for Bradman. To put it another way: Bradman played for 18 years, but missed 5 years due to WWII and 1 year to nearly dying from appendicitis. In a baseball context, in those 12 years of active playing, he would have accumulated as much career value as the Babe did over 21 seasons. He is a God of hitting a ball with a stick. What else do we know about Bradman? * Bradman introduced a new era of offense into the game as he came in just cricket was moving out of a deadball period (sticket wickets) * Was the onfield captain and was responsible for the team selection of some of the most successful Australian teams in cricket history. * Was loved by the public, but loathed by his team mates atleast for the first 8 years of his career. Physical characteristics: * Right handed * Short (5'7") but with a noted power stroke * Hit a lot of 4s (ground rule doubles in baseball) but not that many 6s (home runs) * Was a decent defender with a good arm, but no great shakes and certainly did not play a premium defensive position (catcher, shortstop or CF). * Was a good runner, but not a great runner. * Had a great batting eye. The obvious candiates for a MLB comp are: * Babe Ruth: Roughly contemporary, changed the game the way bradman did, was the best hitter ever, though still not as good as Bradman obviously. * Tris Speaker: Probably the best line drive hitter ever, not a pure speed merchant like Cobb. * Wade Boggs and George Brett: Very similar hitter to bradman, lots of line drives, lots of walks due to a great eye. * Stan Musial: The XBH king, quality all around player. * Rodgers Hornsby: The other XBH king, loathed by his team. Now, not all of Bradman's skills will translate perfectly to baseball - his speed and line drive power are not quite as useful as raw power, and he just doesn't have a huge frame to build Ruthian power off. But he could, and did, adapt his style to rapidly changing conditions. So looking at the 5 comparisons. 1) Ruth: I think Ruth is the right (only) quality match, but I don't think Ruth is a stylistic match. Aside from the wildly different personalities, Ruth was a fat slugger who tried to put it in the seats. Bradman hit line drives, was good defensively and could run. 2) Speaker: The grey eagle is a better match, he's big on line drives, but he is a premium defensive player as well as being very fast and Bradman isn't. 3) Boggs: Boggs is the right type hitter, and isn't fast, but he is a premium defensive player - one of the best of all time. Brett is a closer match, but just isn't as good. 4) Hornsby: Hornsby is the other possible comp. Hornsby is a great doubles hitter and right handed, a natural place to start. Additionally, it is plausible that a bad 2B guy is a closer match than an outfielder for Bradman's talents. The problem is that Hornsby's career functionally ended at 33-35. While he continued to get at bats until he was done at 42, he wasn't really a player at that point, whereas Bradman was a continuing contributor. This brings us to Stan Musial. Stan has a similar career arc - both debut'ed at age 21, and retired in their 40s. Like Stan, Bradman was a great player in his declining years - at Age 40 in his last test series Bradman averaged nearly 90. Stan is also the only guy in the top 10 bats ever who isn't a speed demon (Speaker, Cobb) or a straight up the line slugger (Ruth, Aaron, Williams), which is a much better fit for Bradman than anyone else. Musial was a great contact hitter who lead the league in BA 7 times, doubles 8 times, triples 5 times and home runs never. In the balance, I think the closest match is Super Stan Musial - Stan is like Bradman, but isn't close to as good as Bradman. Obviously you'd start by making him right handed, and if I was going to further modify him, I'd turn up his speed, contact skills and possibly his batting eye. I think that is the most reasonable comparison. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Nov 22, 2013 |

Zodiac, Pungry, Grinnblade, etc. I would very much like to trade upward in the draft. I have the 30th overall pick. We are currently on pick 22. I am thinking of a trade package that involves: -My 30th pick -A useful player that I'm not starting but could probably start on another team (see roster here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvhK1RX1-jWLdDhoTmROZnoydk1rSndzWjNmUUVqUnc&usp=drive_web#gid=1) --Examples of useful players: 1.) Bobby Abreu 2.) Jose Canseco/Carlos Delgado probably make a useful OF platoon 3.) Noted rear end in a top hat Jeff Heath 4.) Paul Molitor 5.) Deadballers who can be around league average (check their SLRefs) if you have a decent infield 5a.) George Uhle http://super-league.tk/viewplayer.php?id=uhlege01 5b.) Claude Hendrix http://super-league.tk/viewplayer.php?id=hendrcl01 5c.) Old Warren Spahn isn't a deadballer and is also 39 but can still pitch: http://super-league.tk/viewplayer.php?id=spahnwa01
