The 9th Tag Team Championship Tournament: Go Team Friendship!

Tag team time has come again!

The way this will work is that two teams, and it can be any two teams, whether they be from the Super-League, the Sub-Par League, or some sort of unholy union between a team from the Super-League and a team from the Sub-Par League, will team up to form a super-team, with each team providing two of the following four components:

-Infield (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, DH, two backup IFs)
-Outfield and Catcher (C, LF, CF, RF, a backup C, and two backup OFs)
-Starting Rotation (SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5)
-Bullpen (CL, SU, SR, SR, MR, LR)

The winners get the greatest gift I am capable of giving: Immortality! That's right, the teams who win this tournament will be immune from relegation or demotion for a full season! And if you are in the Sub-Par league and are part of the winning tag team, you'll automatically be promoted to the Super-League proper for Super-League XX, a season with two full servings of 'X'! You wouldn't want to miss that!

The two-time, two-time defending champions of this contest are, improbably enough, the Burnt Doritos, the team of the Mitchell Kernels and the Kobe Crows. Obviously, with the Macho Men having dismembered the Kernels, the Kernels need to win to not die, which they probably would prefer given the....grave consequences of losing the Macho Men series that they might not realize yet. Plus, if one of you knocks them off, I can finally cast the Crows to Sub-Par hell. So, make good teams for once, okay?

So, find yourself a partner, combine material from each of your teams, and create a child team that you both will cherish and nurture right up until it goes off to the tournament and disappoints you greatly. And then, you will know how your parents feels every time they think about you.

Participating Teams!

Tag Team

Of course, the Dragons wish to participate but, well, we have never been any good in the Tournament.

Strengths:
- New Hoss, Babe Adams and Carl Hubbell in the SP department
- A bullpen built mostly out of genuine relievers and New Hoss could well feature if you don't want my SPs
- My infield is built mostly for defense and contact but can offer some pop in Musial and Edgar Martinez

Weaknesses:
- We don't exactly hit for power
- The outfield is not very good defensively

I will once again mention that the Hol Horses are bringing a tag-team partner who can bring the Bullpen and Outfield. We have Gehrig in terms of power but the real benefit is the defensive nature of our infield coupled with a top-flight Deadball Rotation and probably one of the best defensive shortstops outside of Masked SS/The MACHINE in Boudreau. If you bring an Outfield with a lot of power and some relieveres worth a drat, we can bring the pitching and infield defense you need to make it to the finals.

Please consider the very poor Small Market Superstars who may have a bullpen and may have two power outfielders.

Ooofda. stupid Charleston. I thought I would at least get a few weeks out of you before you got hit in the face with a brick or whatever.



Put Charleston on the DL, bring up Mickey Mantle from AAA. For the batting order, Please Platoon Cool Papa Bell and Turkey Stearnes, CPB against RHP and Turkey against LHP.

The Forgettables are also looking for a tag team partner! I bring literally nothing to the table except the opportunity to make Smasher waste time and ink on a tag team that categorically cannot possibly win anything, but as long as someone else brings the outfield I can say that the Forgettables are very probably not actually the absolute worst pick for a partner.

This would actually be a great pairing. The Superstars have a young Barry that could play center, which would allow an outfield of Cabrera/Bonds/Ruth, and the catcher is Pudge Rodriguez--the same catcher that the Hol Horses use during the regular season.

The bullpen should be pretty good too!

Week 0

Here, have your precious numbers, I care not.











Analysis

This lineup is not nearly as deep as it looks at first glance, and I think that's been the problem.











Analysis

Will this be the Dinos' last stand?











Analysis

As always, Jim Rice is the key.











Analysis

Lou Brock is the worst player ever to get 3000 hits, by a wide margin. Just remember that.











Analysis

A good rotation, and a lineup that should be powerful enough to contend.











Analysis

Who'd Roy Halladay ever beat?











Analysis

It seems that the game caches old logos, even after you replace them. Oops!











Analysis

The pitching staff, for the most part, is good. That is the extent of my statement.











Analysis

I fixed Reuschel to the correct year, which is 1976.











Analysis

As all-glove shortstops go, Tulowitzki is a pretty good one. You could call him a nano-MACHINE.











Analysis

Meet the New Hoss: same as the old New Hoss.











Analysis

There remain several positions that are not dinger-saturated. Please fix.











Analysis

It's good to see the Forgettables in the league, for the first time ever.











Analysis

This team needs Ketel Marte.











Analysis

The best shortstop you have on the roster might be Nick Punto. That is not ideal.











Analysis

You forgot to put a couple of people on your roster. Maybe I'll add them in later.











Analysis

I still don't know how these guys won the first time around, so by that logic, they could easily win again.











Analysis

This pitching staff can kill teams, and the other teams in your division are eminently killable.
