The Knights take Pete Alexander '13. He can go straight into my rotation for completely Smoked Joe Wood.

And here's a draft sheet link.

---------
Despair will never let you down.
Malice will never disappoint you.

Well, I did threaten you with this.

DL Delahanty, Monday to the bench. Also, new no-DH lineup, vs both types of pitcher:

#1: Burkett, LF
#2: Madlock, 3B
#3: Aaron, CF
#4: Clark, RF
#5: Williams, 1B
#6: Collins, 2B
#7: Posey, C
#8: Tulowitzki, SS
#9: [ Pitcher Slot ]

Also also, new bullpen setup:

CL: Lavelle
SU: Borbon
SRP1: Locker
SRP2: LaRoche
MRP: Holland
LR: Bond

I think this might be the worst performance out of players kept from a team that died to the Macho Men. I'm sure Waner would have been just as terrible, had I not traded him.

I have no idea if this will save your team (probably not; single picks almost never do) from relegation.

But Musial slipping to #4 overall in the draft was a travesty. Good job, CVE.

Wade Boggs is good, but outside of his drinking prowess, not a team-changer. And I don't think Mogul knows how to model functional alcoholism.

The pick itself probably won't but hopefully the trade above e.g. having a functional defense means my pitching stop rebelling and I can skip a few rounds of the gauntlet. I can't catch the Crows unless McFreeze breaks all of HulkaMatt's players.

Probably because someone listed him second amongst first basemen when he should've been first, and should've been listed first under LF anyway, since he primarily played left field that year IRL. It's minor, but easily missable when first basemen don't go early often in these drafts.

This is basically the definition of the Marmosets, and I need to make some kind of super aggressive play to change things, but I have no idea what I would actually do to change them. I'd have to do basically an infield overhaul to acquire defense. Ugh. Oh well. Time to party.

You should make the super aggressive play of trading with me!

It doesn't exactly help your infield defense but this offer does help out your pitching, if you're interested.

Bombers send:
'02 Rube Waddell
'87 Barry Bonds
The Tsars' 4th round pick in the next DD

Marmosets send:
'47 Stan Musial
'63 Sandy Koufax

And of course, to make things easier on Smasher, the trade would take affect in the offseason.

Games of the Weak

Keith Wuncler CXXXIV posted:

There was once a team from Albu'qurque
From an owner whose record did suck
so he drafted Boggs
from the primeval fogs
In hopes that it'll to turn around his luck

With this deed done off to play the Breegulls he went
To the mound, did the owner Sale sent
a shaky start, sure
his ability not so pure
But of this decision he'll repent

Pitching one, three, no, six innings o' work
Chris mowed them down, on his face a nasty smirk
were he a wiser man
he'd rethink this cunning plan
in his fielders' hearts did treachery lurk

With two quick outs, Sale looked like an ace
whoops, ol' Jeets bobbled that play at second base
suddenly two men wait
and Cash at the plate
A mighty blow and the Breegulls they now chase

Would the Balloons come back from behind?
a possibility when Boggs gave a run in kind
though this rally lacked
when Dickey got sacked
and so lost with an out to field lined

So a lesson learned for first pick draftees
a turnaround is simply a wishful tease
and so end this doggerel
a terrible inaugural
to writing when using an unsustainable gimmick and this meter is bullshit. uh, please.

Put Pujols in LF, move Rickey over to RF, bench Clemente, and send Randolph to the minors. I'll hash out a new batting order once I see Albert's roll.
