Kid Elberfeld to AAA. Hanley Ramirez to the bench. Robin Yount to starting SS, both lineups.
& let's go crazy and flip-flop Alomar and Ott; Alomar bats third, Ott fifth.

Joe Nathan, John Franco and Sam McDowell down to AAA. Replace with Jeff Reardon (short relief), Slim Love (middle relief) and Lefty Gomez (long relief).

DivineCoffeeBinge!

You have Darrell Evans in both your lineup and bench, so unless you actually have 2 of them you should add another player.

Assuming there won't be many big changes I just used your signup thread roster, but I do need minors guys whenever you have time.

In my defense, I am kind of an idiot.

Replace bench Darrell Evans with 1955 Grady Hatton. Who is terrible but he's one of only two other 3Bs in my feeders that even has a SL-reference page.

DL Alan Trammell.

Send down Urbina.

Since I think a 4th person who can play 1B is useless we're going to be calling up an extra reliever instead. Call up the Sloppy/Vangilder connection. Vangilder at setup. Sloppy as a short reliever I guess?

While we're making a ton of moves, Swap Robertson & Mike Timlin.

Holy gently caress, after ten billion updates where I wrote about your terrible teams, I wanted to write about something else. I wrote about my teams losing in the playoffs, because I was the one writing about it. When you guys run your Super-League for seventeen seasons, you can tell me about your team's issues. Although, here, let me save you some time:

ALL MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES PLAYOFF LOSSES

-Turned out the Kevin Garnett could not win basketball games by himself, and this was never corrected. Also, this team never had draft picks because they decided to cheat the salary cap for the immortal Joe Smith.

ALL MINNESOTA TWINS PLAYOFF LOSSES

-Turns out that winning a weak division doesn't actually make you a good team. Who knew?

MOST MINNESOTA WILD PLAYOFF LOSSES

-Blackhawks.

THE REST OF THE MINNESOTA WILD PLAYOFF LOSSES

-Being an expansion team is hard! Also, how did Minnesota manage to lose a hockey team to Dallas? Seriously, how the gently caress did that happen?

MINNESOTA VIKINGS PLAYOFF LOSSES (in order)

1. Gary Andersen in not clutch.
2. Daunte Culpepper is also not clutch.
3. Brett Favre, by 2010, was also also not clutch.
4. Joe Webb was exactly as clutch as he was apt to be.

There. Now I have given equal time to your concerns.

Also, put Morris back in the SP4 slot, Wells back in LR, and Rozema back to AAA.

I think if you're doing that in 2015, if your relatives look sad when they see you wearing that jersey, I don't think it's because of the jersey.

Anyway, make Johnny Pesky the starting SS for the foreseeable future in all line-ups. Call Earl Averill up to the bench and move the Masked Shortstop to the DL. May the hero fully recover and come back stronger than ever after this setback.
