If anyone is interested, the Dinos have decent SPs/lineup (OF/C is probably the better half) and a terrible bullpen. I agree. Memento Mori is the best non-DH division for survival, but I doubt it'll be enough. Anyhow, please swap Rixey and Jenkins with Bubbles as Rixey's personal catcher. Thanks.

Hey guys, worried that your team is going to suck and die? Concerned that you will go from expansion to relegation without knowing the sweet sensation of winning a major championship? If so, sign up for... The 3rd Tag Team Championship Tournament: Parejas Increibles Once again, we're going to have a Tag-Team Contest during what would otherwise be the all-star break. The way this will work is that two teams, and it can be any two teams, whether they be from the Super-League, the Sub-Par League, or some sort of unholy union between a team from the Super-League and a team from the Sub-Par League, will team up to form a super-team, with each team providing two of the following four components: -Infield (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, DH, two backup IFs) -Outfield and Catcher (C, LF, CF, RF, a backup C, and two backup OFs) -Starting Rotation (SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5) -Bullpen (CL, SU, SR, SR, MR, LR) The winners get the greatest gift I am capable of giving: Immortality! That's right, the teams who win this tournament will be immune from relegation or demotion for a full season! And if you are in the Sub-Par league and are part of the winning tag team, you'll automatically be promoted to the Super-League proper for Super-League XIV. The defending champions of this contest are the two-time Tag Team Champions of the Woooooooooooooorld, the team called Doomsday (Rockford Losers/Florida Oranges). As yet, no tag team has been able to defeat this team in tag team competition. So, find yourself a partner, combine material from each of your teams, and create a child team that you both will cherish and nurture right up until it is beaten to death by Doomsday. But hey, that's just the circle of life. Participating Teams! Doomsday (Rockford Losers/Florida Oranges) (c) Monateam Sentai Gofailer (Canton Calamities/Louisville Muggers) New Worst Symphony (New World Symphony/The Worst) gently caress You We Are Beet and McFreeze (Khartoum Doom/Somali Pirates) The WinAmps (Detroit Protectors/Zombie Llamas) Smasher Dynamo fucked around with this message at 05:13 on May 1, 2014 |

So...my infield is decent with a Votto/Cano/Reyes/HanRam core and Musial as DH. But beyond that it gets weird. Power pitching all the way with no control, and a completely lack of catcher makes OF a non-starter (unless Mike Sweeney catching is a thing you want). I'll take any comers.

Great infield with Santo/Collins/Vaughan and some combination of Ramirez/Mantle/Heilmann at first and DH. And a bullpen with Rivera and Smoltz. e: If not, I'm willing to work with anything should a team with two clear strengths need it. mentholmoose fucked around with this message at 03:50 on May 1, 2014 |

 Believe me, I hate to do this to you as much as you hate to hear it, but you're right. A clown car bullpen has no reason to exist. Let Jay Howell find himself in the minors and Billy Herman on my bench. In the very least, it should only take like four clicks.

The Grass Valley Wizards are also throwing their hat in the ring for the tag team thing, but I don't know enough to be able to say "yes, this team complements me well", especially since my team seems to come out to a resounding "meh" at nearly every position, so whoever would be game to team up, just drop me a line in the thread.

ForeverBWFC posted:So, does anyone fancy being in a tag team with a team that has a player that could play literally anywhere? Given that I would have loved to snatch the RNG God for myself I think I could manage and we could revive the Smasher named Rock'n Bock Connection (or take a different name) if we can align our players in a way that makes sense. I would say my pitching staff is probably my best part and maybe my Outfield/C or bullpen afterwards if we talk about things I could bring to the table (then again my backup catchers are a nightmare).

  I need a Tag Team partner. I think my best assets are Starting Pitching and Infield (if for no other reason than the fact my outfield relies on a guy with a 79 roll and 38-year-old Musial, and my bullpen's 3rd best pitcher is Joba Chamberlain). Still, the Generics and Pharmas combined last year to fall 1 game short of a playoff spot, and the Pharmas SP and Infield is even better in SL13. Any of the following teams have interest? -Generics -Colliders -Fire Ferrets ...would be happy to roll with a Sub-Par League team too if you want!

I actually really like your bullpen. We couldn't have Rickey in the OF, though--by rule, we'd have to have an outfield comprised only of your players, so it'd be Barry/Lofton/Sheffield. If we want my Rickey (and I think we do), he'd be the DH. Which I have no problem with at all, and I'll cross my fingers that Buster Posey can hit. Mind if I take a crack at putting together a roster and lineups and stuff?

Perhaps, right before the tournament, you could ask Smasher what he's going to be during various points in the tournament and make the roster with that in mind? I really don't think you need to make the roster immediately.
