Open trade offer to any comers: I have 1908 Ed Walsh, one of the best pitchers in MLB history. He's been average to above-average in the SL, but hasn't really had the dominant season I expected him to. He'll give you a shitload of innings, though, and keep the ball in the park. So if you have a bad bullpen or are worried about the home run, he's a good dude to have. I am unreasonably fascinated with Clayton Kershaw, and given that the Pharmas will survive this season in some capacity (even if it means getting demoted to the Subpar League), they'll exist after a db update for MLB 2014 stats. So I'll trade my Walsh for your draft pick so long as Kershaw is on the board.

 Ok, I don't want to sit on my draft pick forever. Wu-Tang clan will be taking the amazing Aroldis Chapman. I'm still looking to trade Ryno for a worse right handed 2nd basemen, a backup catcher, and or 4th rounders, so get at me! Paul Zuvella fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Jul 28, 2014 |

So, the Calamities crushed the Wizards in the playoffs when Schilling was on the mound. The reason was that Schilling is a master of the same arcane black magicks that won me the series and eventually the title. So, it would stand to follow that my team needs more Schilling. Also, older Schilling did better for the Worst than baby Schilling did for me, so hey, why not. The Grass Valley Wizards pick Curt Schilling '98. At least I'm starting to get to the point where I might start thinking about stopping it with the pitching. Maybe. And that puts GVOLTT and the Ooga Boogas on the clock! EDIT: Also, I'm now batting a thousand for picking up Schillings during the Dispersal Draft. I wonder if I might go for a three-peat just for the hell of it.

Hello friends, the RCMP would like to acquire either a prime Robin Yount (although it appears there is only one of them out there) OR a left-handed hitting SS who can play average defense at both SS and CF and OPS+ something in the area of 80-85. If you have either of those things, please let me know so I can offer you my things.

Maybe some 19th century guys, but they have holes in their gloves. Or Tom Tresh, but he wasn't exactly known for his great glovework, and didn't really play center field, though a lot of that was probably due to Mickey Mantle.

so what's the reasoning behind this trade? Matlack has outperformed Walsh every single time for the one in question and you pay extra to get a worse pitcher? I mean in general Walsh should be better but the Sl tends to disagree from the stats shown unless I'm not seeing something.

It is weird, both owning the Oklahoma City Bombers, a bastion of anarchy in the merciless capitalist jungle that is the Super-League, and owning a share of a corporate team. I'm being torn in two directions! e: I'm betting on Ed Walsh being more consistent in the Subpar League, and betting on Jon Matlack imploding because he is going to the Señor Goodtimes division, where every dream goes to die. And the Muggers infield defense is quite a bit better than most of the teams he's played for. mentholmoose fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jul 28, 2014 |

CVE posted:so what's the reasoning behind this trade? Matlack has outperformed Walsh every single time for the one in question and you pay extra to get a worse pitcher? As someone who has no stake one way or the other, Matlack is a decent pitcher, but he seems to work best out of the bullpen. And if he's in the bullpen, he can't hope to match the value of an above-average starting pitcher unless he has a truly phenomenal season. Should be interesting to see if this one makes it to 51%.

Just searched baseball reference, and as far as I can tell, only 18 players since 1901 have played at least 10% of their games at SS and 10% of their games at CF, and bat left or switch. Amazingly, two of them played for feeders from my old teams: Derrel Thomas from the '83 Dodgers was eligible for the Galactic Wanderers, and Cesar Crespo from the '04 Red Sox qualified for the Luna Landers. Do not use Derrel Thomas or Cesar Crespo.

The 30-player limit is only for teams coming directly out of the EC. Teams coming from the Sub-Par League can have more players, though they can only bring up more players from their feeders by making one-for-one substitutions. It's admittedly a fuzzy rule, but, realistically, teams coming out of the EC don't have more than 30 players worth rostering anyway.

How about 1888 Jim O'Rourke? Side note: I completely forgot that I still had George Gore sitting around. He's a 136 OPS+ Centerfielder. He is, of course, a pre-1900's player, but that's still a pretty great OPS+, and as an outfielder errors are less common than infielders. People in want of a plus offensive centerfielder with speed and the nickname 'piano legs' should inquire in exchange for draft picks.

I disapprove of this trade. Why are we trading Edgar Martinez along with Matlack? If the Pharmas want Matlack, they can get him with someone like Chipper Jones, but Edgar was the starting 3B I believe, and Chipper isn't exactly a whiz at defense (not that Edgar ever was either). Let's say I trust E-Mart's skillset more than a young Chipper Jones. My 24.32% shares say no. Rework the deal if you want, I'll revote if so.
