I don't really want to give up anything excellent/elite for obvious reasons and I don't have many deadballers, but I'm interested in him if there's anything else you would want.

Third option: a better C than Joe Torre, which would allow me to put Torre at 3B and Frisch at 2B.

1989 Bonds & your choice of 1965 Mathews, 1973 Schmidt, 1970 Dick Allen, 1929 Pie Traynor or 1999 Wade Boggs for Speaker & Alomar.

If you're looking for a center fielder/2B, I'll offer '65 Mickey Mantle and '10 Dustin Pedroia just for Bonds.

Der Kommander

Looking at my team, I'm actually scoring plenty of runs--over 5 per game, on average. The larger problem is that my pitching is loving horrific, I think second only to the Dinger Temple-dwelling Llamas. And that just won't do.

I'm a little worried about the offense keeping up (Musial won't last the whole season, and Rickey in CF won't either), but I should probably address the pitching first.

Meaning any move involving a starter needs to have one come back. That's probably doable for you if I'm moving Roberts. Probably less doable if I'm moving Walsh, who I view as an elite starter (even if he is loving terrible this year for some reason).

Aaaaaanyway...

Does Longoria do anything for you? He was great last year. Been...kind of disappointing so far this year, though the power's there, at least.

1904 Falkenberg has been good to me. I guess 1922 Alexander could be available if enough of those parts you're offering were included.

And multiple excellent relievers, hello there. 1984 Eckersley. 2000 Percival. 1985 Reardon.

Make me an offer, I guess, given what I specified at the top.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:

I'm willing to put up Mel Ott or Tris Speaker and I am interested in Walsh, Roberts and McCovey and/or Dick Allen, though mostly the pitching.

McCovey and Allen alone don't warrant Ott or Speaker (or at least, they shouldn't, in my estimation). Meaning for me to get one of them I'd need to include a pitcher. And as I said, if I include a pitcher, I need to get one back. You've got shitloads of deadball dudes. Who do you want to part with?

After the game, FairGame mocked his opponent, "As the Ombudsman of this league, I have something that I need to bring to Smasher Dynamo's attention. It is simply too unrealistic to think that a man, given two Babe Ruths, could make a team as bad as the Colliders. No, theacox's total incompetence is simply incredible, both in the sense of the staggering nature of his failures, but also because it simply cannot be believed. It is clear that, just like so many other things in the Super-League, that theacox is exaggerating his cretinous nature for comedic purposes, and that sort of comedy has no place in the Super-League. The most important part of the Super-League is its verssimilitude, and everytime something like this happens, it hurts the league. Smasher Dynamo, I call on you to reprimand theacox for his actions. No one could possibly as stupid as him, and the Super-League must forever reside in the land of the 'possible'."

I'm still interested in Jimmie Foxx, if you're willing. I'd say something like two of '21 Harry Heilmann, '67 Joe Torre, and '36 Paul Waner for him. I'd suggest Heilmann and Torre, since Torre's a good starting-quality catcher and Heilmann can replace Foxx at first.
