The Merry Marauder posted:More or less, since I'd feel compelled to take another starter with the pick. With the Imperialists, I might be able to upgrade a position outright, at the cost of depth. Fair enough. Since I can't get you in IRC: being an expansion team, and being covetous of my 3rd round pick, I really can't give up that much. I do have some spare parts that in the event of the Burgess/Fisk/Messersmith trade, I could send your way. This includes: Noted rear end in a top hat Jeff Heath 1994 Paul Molitor 1992 Jose Canseco (note that I cannot give up both Molitor and Canseco since 1 of the two is going to DH vs. lefties) 1992 Terry Steinbach...who probably could be a competent backup if you're worried about depth A whole collection of deadballers and lottery ticket starters, such as: 1992 Bob Welch, 1992 Dave Stewart, 1994 Juan Guzman, 1994 Pat Hentgen, 1994 Al Leiter, 1917 Phil Douglas

Yup. Post trade, the Imperialists waste no time in selecting Frank Robinson  who was not pleased to hear about the waste management traditions of the native Burmese.

Marauder, I'm interested in a SS off of one of your many rosters and hundreds of players. Specifically Pop Lloyd, Roger Connor, or Barry Larkin. http://www.linkyy.com/Tigers <-- the second sheet contains the Protector's roster, and I'm also willing to include 2nd round super-draft pick and/or my 4th round dispersal draft pick depending on who you deem expendable. I'm pretty sure we can work a deal.

Roger Connor is a great big first baseman who has the pre-Babe Ruth HR record, but he ain't a shortstop. I need Pop Lloyd and his profligate and ill-timed errors, both to be my utility man and because I went to some lengths and suffered angst to get him. Larkin is available, however, and I will look at your team when I can.

The South Dakota Marmosets select 2002 Chipper Jones! Maybe this was reaching, maybe chipper would last until my original pick, but I wouldn't bet on that, and I can have Killebrew play left now, where his girth will be less of a defensive handicap. Boosh!

The Mogul pics listed him as IF, 'cause he played 1B/3B. I'd also be interested in Yount, Boudreau, y'know, any SS you feel you could fleece me for. I really dread starting Eric McNair this upcoming season.

And Zodiac5000 makes the list... expect punishment in the next update. Now, for the team previews! Yes, I know that some teams have played a game already. If there's a problem with the lineup and you feel that having/not having a player affected your team, let me know and I'll laugh at you.

Also, there was a user input error where I left interleague on and had the wrong sliders implemented. It was fixed, and I re-ran the sim for that first game. The displayed win-loss records are the correct win-loss records, the schedule is the part that seems to be incorrect. So, yeah. Known issue, already corrected. Sorry about that.

It's honestly me being sloppy and forgetting to double-check my work. It's embarrassing. Oh well. I'm considering doing 2 weeks at a time to try and stretch things out but not take as long as the SL proper. If Smasher needs this break, I'm gonna try and give as much of one as I can. This Super League has been a great distraction during the worst of times for me and others, so I'm hoping to pay it back a little.

Indians Franchise Corrections! Smokey Joe Wood should obviously be a pitcher, and I appear to be missing 1999 Sandy Alomar (alomasa02). I dunno if he's there and just buried under the other minor guys, if he is, bump him up to the Bench, and he'll catch for Bob Lemon. And here's our roster sheet, for posterity's sake.

If I never got a link to your roster and if I missed it while scraping through the thread for the teams, then they aren't going to be in the challenge. The only way I was able to keep things organized while I was sick was to use a spreadsheet with team links on it and I asked for links to either a spreadsheet or a forums post with the info so I could go back and easily facilitate getting the rosters together. Sorry. Robert_Deadford posted:

Let's have Stieb in for that unfortunate Wells roll. Also stick Henderson at CF and Canseco can play LF, but keep them at their respective lineups positions (Rickey first, Canseco sixth).

Not really happy with some of these rolls, but I'm not going to worry about it until we've played some games first. Make the following roster changes:
Smasher: I've had absolutely no time to try and figure out a roster for next season. Is it acceptable if I bring back the Losers Mk I plus Charleston/Paige/Seaver as my SLXII team?

Cano is bad. Much badder than I ever imagined. Make Lazzeri the full time 2nd basemen. At least he can play defense.
