What's the best hitter someone wants to give me for some combo of: 33yr old 1B Lou Gehrig 27yr old LF/CF Al Simmons 29yr old C/1B Ted Simmons 33yr old OF Ed Delahanty If no one bites right now, I'd also likely trade the first three on the list for a high pick if there's a superstar non-1B bat available.

I am so glad that I have thus far avoided Trade Madness. I came up with a foolproof strategy, namely having such a dumpster fire of a team that no amount of tinkering is likely to make it any better. That really cuts down on the temptation to make trades.

Hey DOOP. I feel like experimenting. After I get eliminated from the playoffs in embarrassing fashion, I'll trade my 1995 Barry Larkin for your Ozzie Smith. He has the advantage over Ozzie of not taking 5 years to hit 2 home runs in the majors! And since you're using mostly power pitchers, the defensive downgrade shouldn't hurt you very much.

Anybody who's looking for a Jimmie Foxx (DannoMack and fairgame, I think) should come to me before anybody else because I'm cooler and more willing to make a deal. My Foxx is older than some but that doesn't seem to matter that much in the SL.DivineCoffeeBinge posted:I am so glad that I have thus far avoided Trade Madness.

Okay well if we're gonna do this, in addition to my Foxx (who's prime as far as mogul is concerned, and for reference moose's is 12 years older) I'm also packaging Willie Mays, Jim Kaat and possibly either Hank Aaron or my 2nd round Super-Draft pick next season depending on the quality of what's coming back for a star. Plus my Foxx is at an age where he can actually play C/3B reasonably well so this would give you 3+ starting-caliber players at premium positions~ Elmer Flick is also available if he strikes your fancy, but I think Mays is valued higher generally so I've been advertising him more.

Jimmie Foxx has been my starting catcher at age 34 for 2.5 seasons now and has been perfectly cromulent if not outright good. You do not need to pay a premium on a young Foxx so that he can play C or 3b.

You're not playing Foxx at C for his defense. You're playing him there for the ability to have an average or better bat at a position where useful dudes are scarce.

Ice To Meet You posted:Lying isn't a very nice thing to do. He's a modern shortstop who can't hit. So you think he'd defend, right? Except he's got as many bad defensive seasons as good. And unlike many players, they don't follow typical age-related issues. Larkins used are almost all 23-31, so there's not much reason for how randomly they do. You're right, I shouldn't call him a bad defender. I just would argue against anyone ever calling him good, and that's at his primary position. He's only got a couple hundred innings at 2B, and there's no evidence to suspect he should get more.

"Can't hit" is relative when we're comparing him to a guy with a career OBP and SLG under .300 in the Super-League! Anyway, if I can't get an Ozzie, I'd also be willing to make offers for a Tulo, a Mark Belanger, or a Melissa Mayeux, if anyone wants to sell one of those.

I'm not sure if I want to punt catcher D on Jimmie Foxx but as he's the only player I've been offered I guess what matters is what people would put with him to get Gehrig.

DannoMack posted:Yeah just a startable guy for my team should be reasonable with Foxx. Well, I'm shopping Barry Larkin, Jose Canseco, Roger Maris in general. Nap Lajoie is available only if somehow I end up with a Gehringer or Whitaker in return. Paul Waner could be included but I'd like some compensation in the form of a negotiable draft pick for him. Otherwise, take a look at my vast roster of shitsippers and tell me what strikes your fancy.

Super-League XVII, Wildcard Round Dynamo League Wildcard Game: Slaughterhouse Nine @ RCMP The Slaughterhouse Nine are a team built around being just above-average enough in all facets of the game to get a wildcard. There's nothing they do extremely well, but they're not terrible at anything either. They have good, but not great, starting pitching, and a bullpen that is only a disaster most of the time. Their hitting is good, and Ted Williams can cover up a lot of sins on that front. Their team defense, especially in the outfield, is not so much suspect as suicidal, but their pitchers don't allow a ton of fly balls, so it hasn't killed them...yet. Monicro's teacher gave him a teddy bear sticker for finally reaching the playoffs. Four more, and he gets first pick of the toys at recess! If the Nine win, they'll face the Kernels, who they went 3-15 against in the regular season. So, uh, that might be a problem. The RCMP are a team built around DannoMack being better at making trades than anyone outside of Marauder. Between them and the Southpaws, I have to admit the Sub-Par League is becoming better at incubating new contenders than I would have thought. If the RCMP had use of any of their top three starters, they would be overwhelming favorites in this game. As they have to rely on Cy Young, they're probably only mild favorites. If they win, they face the Kernels, who they struggled against in the regular season, with the qualification that most of those games happened before the RCMP got Babe Ruth. Don May posted:
Box Score Smasher League Wildcard Game: Minnesota Commission The Minnesota Commission may or may not be good. I'm not quite sure. They can hit a lot of dingers, and that's pretty cool, and they have a couple of guys who can get on base ahead of those dingers, and their offense, overall, is pretty okay. Their pitching is kind of a mess, though. They managed to get into the game with a sterling record of 82-80, which says a lot about the misery in the Smasher League this season. If they win, they'll get the Southpaws, which is not a terrible matchup relatively speaking, since the Southpaws' pitchers are at least theoretically capable of giving up dingers. The Oklahoma City Bombers should win this game. They have a better lineup overall, though that's close. What isn't close is that they have Walter Johnson starting this game, and he is roughly ten times better than anyone on the Commission's staff. Overall, you could make the case that the Bombers were the second-best team in the Smasher League this season, in that they had a better pythag record than the Doom, and, unlike the Doom, don't rely on an explosive offense to make up for a bad rotation. The Bombers' biggest problem is that if they do win this game, they'll have to face the Southpaws, which has historically not gone great for them. But, hey, anything can happen in a five-game series.

Well... to be honest, thats not how I expected to lose. I would have figured Bender or Mike Adams would have blown the game before Papelbon did... Ah well, on to next season. I guess now I can root for the Doom in hopes they die a glorious death at the hands of the Macho Men. Also now that I'm done, I can begin trade madness, as is the first stage of all new Pash clones. While we are supposed to be the same each Pash Clone wants to make the team theirs in some way. Hence the Blyleven season... That said someone please trade me a deadballish pitcher thats better than some portion of my starting staff. I have a pick and players to trade.
