I don't think people consider your actual trades unfair, danno. I think people bristle at your initial offers, which are usually hysterical and bordering on criminal. The finish line is fine, it's just the journey that got you your reputation as a swindling hornswaggler.

If you put those trades in chronological rather than reverse-chronological order, it would become clear that you were able to subsidize the more recent trades, such as the DD Wagner trade with me, through the set of hilarious ripoffs that came before. That said, as someone whose very first trade in the SL was Al Kaline + Chick Hafey for Barry Bonds, I'm not going to be a giant hypocrite and call it villainous to start your SL career with winning trades. Though I will say that you've made me some offers that I'm fairly certain you would scoff at if someone made them to you, so I have to second Pander's impression a bit. Which is definitely a thing that I have never and would never do.  Anyway, I like you (and everyone else!) and I'm glad you're in the league (just like everyone else!!!) and I appreciate that you're willing to part with value to fill needs and aren't just trying to Win Every Trade. So keep bein' you, Danno, you evil son of a bitch.

The only kind of person that types out that much analysis about how not-villainous they are are villains. Methinks the Canadian doth protest too much. (I love you all and I look forward to giving you all the opportunity to be evil by destroying my hapless, terrible team)

   This is it... If the Winners win this last game, they will tie the Scientists, and tie the head-to-head series as well. The ultimate tie.    I have doomed us all for another year. The Process works. The end. One day, GGN will hire a good GGM. drat bad tea. And cold.    Well, that happened.    Sergio Romo may have brought you glory, but beware, for he bears the curse of the Somali Pirates upon him.    Why did this happen? Why did ChampRamp not set the sliders to have Candy Cummings throw complete games? Why did he instead set them so that Javier Lopez would come into the game? We may never know.    I can't even believe how bad that bullpen was, and how it killed your season. Wait, never mind, I can imagine it easily.

DannoMack posted:Please stop commute-shaming me You walked into it, really. To add on, the way you really want us to know that all those people you traded with were veterans (14 times!) - like veterans can't be ripped off, I'm living proof of that, given that I very much count as a veteran now according to the numbers you're giving me - doesn't make it look any less like you're justifying something you know you're bullshitting us on. Also, there's some questionable statements in that block of text. Tris Speaker is not a loving platoon bat. Even if he's old. No. He is not a loving platoon bat. You can repeat that as much as you want and it still won't be true. I would run that Speaker in center field until he loving dies, and I have Cool Papa Bell, an actually solid center fielder.

DannoMack posted:36 year old Speaker has been used 11 times and 6 of those times he was platooned. Also I can't believe the dude who writes in-character anime screeds is shaming me for effortposting! Yes. That means 50% of the time he was not platooned, and it worked just loving fine (the Coldplayers season doesn't count, everybody was terrible on that team apart from Aramis Ramirez). Learn from that. Don't platoon him, you idiot. You don't even have Mornacale's justification of him batting around the Mendoza line, he was doing just fine. And I'm not shaming you for effortposting, I'm shaming you for effortposting in an attempt to justify your behavior to us. When I make crazy in-character posts, I'm doing jack poo poo of actual worth, I'm just being an idiot in a fantasy fantasy baseball league because it amuses me. You're actually trying to achieve something with it, which is the real damning thing. Your reputation as the thieving Canadian got to you that much that you made a big-rear end post breaking down every single trade and how it wasn't actually bad. I mean, evidently, you're not running out of people to trade with, so it's hardly having a major impact on your team (not to mention your team is currently in the Super-League finals after sweeping the Sheikhs, it's not like it's in need of massive improvement you can only get through trades). Just embrace it! People have been calling you the Canadian Marauder, how rad is that? Own that poo poo!

1) Apparently Rube Waddell is "Good", but I have "Seven Starters" and "No Centerfielder". I wish to solve this. He's 1909 vintage, so 32.

The last team I had, I wanted the DH league but volunteered to move to the no-DH league anyways, and I sucked. Now, I sucked for MANY MANY MANY reasons, most of which had nothing to do with my lack of a DH, but still. Not making that mistake again.

Reminder: When you stay in the DH league, you're pretty much guaranteed to be running into this, this, or this. There will also very probably be more EC teams in the no-DH league, meaning your chances of not dying are a bit better!

Gonna wishcast a bit about prospective SpL divisions. Obviously no one is required to go with this but I think it would make for some pretty exciting matchups. Punjabi Prison Akabira Killer Mikes Aperture Scientists Genoa Janus Centralia School of Mines yankeefans.gif Kennel From Hell Wasteland Vault Boys Mexico City Mexicutioners UCKA Wapnott Modern Bourgeois Colma Skeletons Monster's Ball Upstate Highlanders Alethkar Shardblades The Goog Day St. Maarten Storm Rochester Generics Feast or Fired Hill City Dinos Florida Oranges Columbus Natural 20s Da Pope's Chosen Commonwealth Flying Dukaki First, we maintain the rivalries from last season's SpL: the Mikes/Scientists/Janus have another go in the Prison, the Vault Boys and Mexicutioners stay in the Kennel, and the Highlanders and Shardblades battle for the Monster's Ball. The Monster's Ball is shaken up, though, by the departing Despair and incoming Commie Llamas; now instead of two no-dinger teams and one all dingers team, you have the reverse. Meanwhile, the Feast or Fired centers on the Dinos (returning to their division from two seasons ago) vs the Oranges to see who (if either) can return to the SL. The question of splitting up the EC is harder. Given the general acknowledgement of the DH league being the class of the SpL this season, I very much would like to see the best EC teams in the no-DH. This both theoretically balances the leagues a bit, but also gives the teams with more potential a little more room to flourish. And, pleasantly, none of the Goog Day (who need to bench Meusel anyway), Pope's Chosen (who were featuring Keith Hernandez in the EC), or Natural 20s (who definitely can't start both Ken Williams and Jimmy Sheckard) really need a DH. The Storm would need to do something with the Cupid Childs/Nap Lajoie pair at 2B, but that's not so bad as a cost of getting away from the Prison or Kennel. So we keep the Goog Day and Storm (and the Generics, who actually chose no-DH) together, and then the 20s and Chosen go in the other division. That leaves one more no-DH spot, which I filled basically by looking through the other teams for the one that needs the DH least. Yankeesfans, Colma, & Centralia had at least credible DHs in the EC, and kensei has a rotation of modern (and thus worst-hitting) SPs. The Dukaki don't really have any reason to want a DH, and maybe between having the first pick and one fewer hole to fill they'd be able to make some noise.

I don't think "keeping all the established teams in the DH league" is a good plan to fix the balance issues we had this season. Anyway, I will give people a chance to choose, I don't want to force anyone to move, but knowing you guys I'll probably end up having to.
