Go Bombers!  Smasher, can I set the lineups for each individual game? I'd like some finer control than one lineup for the whole series, particularly because I'd like to have different lineups in Chicago and OKC, and because Manny Ramirez is going to be healthy for games 3, 4, and 5 (if it goes that long).

Even if the RCMP die horribly v the Kernals, at least these playoffs made me spend a half hour learning about the Electoral College which was funny and worth it! Plus I got to listen to Rush while I read the recap which is usually worth course credit at most Canadian universities. Also, Mark Eichhorn prefers to go by his title of The Best Middle Reliever of All Time.  SP1 Walter Johnson SP2 Satchel Paige SP3 Deacon Philippe SP4 Juan Marichal MU Mark Eichhorn CL Mariano Rivera SU Billy Wagner doesn't matter which SR Lee Smith SR Billy Wagner the other one MR Cy Young LR Joe McGinnity I went with Marichal over Young because I figured he misses more bats which will be beneficial against this particular team, but I'm open to being corrected if that's the wrong call. Please leave the lineups as they were, but please turn off all personal catcher instructions. slider changes Squeeze Play: +1 Trying for extra bases: -1 Aggressively Tagging Up: -1 Pitching Around Good Hitters: -2 Bringing the Infield In: -3 Guarding the Lines: -3 Making Cutoff Throws: 0 Bringing in Defensive Replacements: -3 Starting Pitchers on Short Rest: whichever one guarantees it's a 4-man rotation but doesn't make it do something wacky like try a 3 man rotation Letting pitchers pitch through trouble: +2 Letting Pitchers rack up high pitch counts: +2 Thanks, Smasher!

As far as the Sheikhs go, I'll just keep rolling with what's been more or less working. Not really much effective micromanagement I can do anyway.

The Search for Pitching. Figured I should probably post up what I have to offer in my quest of SPs or groundball relievers with low HR rates. SPs my current rotation is Nichols, Bender, Very Old Cy Young, Bender, and then random deadballers. I'm looking to improve on those random deadballers, potentially looking for someone very good if the price is right. Relievers i'm interested in: Bruce Sutter Rich Gossage Larry Andersen Tim Burke Hoyt Wilhelm Things I can offer: 1965 Ernie Banks - Kinda old but mogul still thinks he can play SS with great defense, hits for power but does not hit the ball often. 2003 Jeff Bagwell 1991 Randy Johnson Relievers like Robb Nen, Mike Adams, Bryan Harvey, Pat Venditte 'X6, or Lee Smith Deadball pitchers like: Orval Overall, Old Joe McGinnity, Stan Coveleski DD or SD draft pick Other people are negotiable, see my Sheet

Bolded a true point. The typical zero-sum approach people take to trading doesn't account for win/win possibilities. Shoring up weaknesses by dealing out positions of strength and depth can make two teams both get better via trade. In a vacuum I like the Llama's return more, but that doesn't mean it's not a good trade for you to make. Most of my trades to change the Corruption v2.0 into the Southpaws involved trades that probably weren't great in a vacuum. Add context, and they look a lot better.

Speaker > Cobb and no, Hammerin' Hank is way too inconsistent to start at CoF, so you're not wrong on either front.

Speaker being better than Cobb doesn't make Cobb overrated. You can be properly-rated as the second-best player at a position.

Tris Speaker is way more expensive than Cobb though. He probably should never be traded at prime ages. Cobb is attainable, and his production puts him as the clear cut #2 best SL CF, which is always a welcome get. A 1919 Cobb is getting on the older edge of the prime, but he doesn't injure much so it's not a big risk, just less upside than a 1914 or so Cobb. 67 Aaron isn't very inconsistent, actually, He's almost always around 100-105 OPS+. His defense at 33 is best described as "meh" but his bat can start in the SL, especially in a platoon or in a power-RHH friendly stadium. 09 Rivera is fantastic and cements the closer position. 1902 Young is a great starter to pick up. Llama picked up top-tier guys at CF and RP because Danno had exceptional depth at those positions, while swapping the best RF for a borderline RF and a borderline SP for a great SP. Llama needed help at multiple positions while Danno just needed to concentrate his depth, so this trade makes perfect sense for both sides. Personally I think you can never have too much reliever depth, so I still would prefer Llama's take, but it definitely makes Danno better in playoff situations when depth is less valuable than superstars.

A 1919 Cobb is getting on the older edge of the prime, but he doesn't injure much so it's not a big risk, just less upside than a 1914 or so Cobb. I'm saying that you can get a player near (near!) Cobb's production in CF with a platoon of any number of players, but people value Cobb so highly because he's a natural CF and, obviously, doesn't need to be platooned. I'm not saying he's bad (I already tried to get that Cobb back from Mornacale), I'm saying he's way way overpriced in the SL economy.

Unless you have a superstar player at a normally light-hitting position to make up for it. Pander posted:09 Rivera is fantastic and cements the closer position. The minute the Bomber's similar-aged Rivera retired midseason from their closer slot I decided moving old Mariano was extremely doable. 02 Young is great and I love him, and the only reason I could give him up is because I had Marichal making him the LR. Going from Young to McGinnity in the LR slot is not actually that bad.

Personally I think you can never have too much reliever depth, so I still would prefer Llama's take, but it definitely makes Danno better in playoff situations when depth is less valuable than superstars. You're right. I think it was an even trade specifically because I had the depth at SP, RP and CF to move three stars in those positions to get the best hitter in the game. If I didn't have Tris in CF and if Young and Rivera weren't doubles for me it would probably have been a disaster trade, and I can see why people would choose the llama's package in a vacuum. Context is important, like you said. But as I'm the only guy who seems to think Cobb is overrated I understand that people probably aren't going to be #TeamDannoMack on this one.

To be fair, I've had that Rivera for five seasons now, and this is the first time it's happened. It's no different from a season-ending injury, in the scope of the Super-League. You should respond to the PM I sent you.

Oh totally. He's still a great player and my bullpen died when he left so he was the biggest immediate loss from that trade tbh. But for the same reason an injury-prone player might not be as valuable to someone, old Mariano became suddenly less untouchable once I saw that.

  Of the four teams that enter today, only two will survive to the next round; the other two, dead forever. Although I think all four of these owners actually want their teams to be dead? So they're really just making more work for me. Awesome.   Got a team struggling along with no manager? Don't worry! Jeb! can fix it! The Coldplayers remembered that life is for living! The Diamond Dogs accidentally attached a heavier-than-air balloon to themselves. The Decroux! will dance no more.    See, the Madducks are good now. Sure, the bullpen tried to give all those games away, but hey, progress.    With the power of Troy Glaus on their side, there was really never any doubt here.    You had a 2 game lead with 9 games to go, and ended up losing by 3. And I don't think anyone was surprised.    RIP in peace. The Gauntlet, Round 2 Pick TWO!

Hey guys, I received an offer on my 20 year old Ted Williams that I think I'd be willing to move on, but I figured I might as well let it be known that I'm willing to take offers on him. Basically I am looking for an elite position player in return. I am not explicitly shopping him so I am not going to rattle off a list of stuff I'd like, I may not even do the deal I have an offer for because it's Teddy Ballgame but I figured if I'd be willing to listen to one offer I might as well let it be known I'd be willing to move him. edit: I will say that my end goal is to get a good Babe Ruth on to my team. rabidsquid fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Nov 6, 2015 |
