League 2

I guess the Interceptors will take 1902 Roger Bresnahan. Please put him on the bench and send Lance Parrish down to the minors, and make sure he adopts Parrish's Catching Orders (which should be to Personally Catch for Koufax)

Various Bullpen experiments have failed so here are my other Week 9 changes:

Send down Lyons, call up THE Thornton Lee for Long Relief.
Send down Pete Richert, call up Grant Balfour for Short Relief.

That should be everything, thanks Fairgame!

DRAFT: The Dishonorably Imprisoned Craig K is up, and cbx can pick at any time.

League 2

The Akron New Traditionalists are proud to select... 1968 Frank Robinson!

mrnoun and the Luna Landers are up!

----

To make room for Robinson, send down Babe Herman. Also, making a platoon change: Instead of Jose Cardenal, Robinson will now play RF against LHP (Choo remains playing against RHP.)

(also remember to make the pitching changes I posted here, thanks!: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499603&perpage=40&pagenumber=1958#post528642837)

Faustoan Bargain: Dec 24, 2009; I'd sell my soul for a pitcher with a power sinker...

Manatees will take 2010 Evan Longoria and immediately give him the 3B job and send Eric Chavez to the minors

# ? Dec 29, 2022 03:26

Ginge: Sep 8, 2011; Well, Chippy is already my favourite character!

I acknowledge there's a decent chance I'm walking into a trap here, but I'll play this earnestly and take 1888 Pud Galvin.

League 2

Two changes, please:

- Replace Hughson with Galvin at SP4.
- Play Doerr at 2B full time, with Collins relegated to the bench.

# ? Dec 29, 2022 09:23

kw0134: Apr 19, 2003; I buy feet pics🍆

The Generics draft 1939 Lou Boudreau and put him in at SS in all lineups. Turn Dick Bartell into a 2B and slot him there. Kinsler goes to the bench, Andrelton gets sent to the minors.

Looking Back, I am sure of 2 things:
1. I should have found the thread before it finished
2. Grimper may have actually done one or two things wrong

Erstwhiles take 1916 Christy Mathewson and slot him in for Oil Can Boyd at SP3

OTF is up!

League 2

Robinson Cano in for Ian Kinsler at 2B. Jose Ramirez to 3B, Edwin Encarnacion in at 1B, slotting in 7th where David Wright was hitting.

It is very funny and also kind of sad that not even an entirely reworked Mogul could make David Wright usable in the Super-League

Pander: Oct 9, 2007; Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

HulkaMatt: Feb 14, 2006; BIG BICEPS SHOHEI

1902 Joe Kelley. We will send down Gil Hodges and put Kelley at 1B. Here is the previous pick to make sure you got these changes also!!!:

HulkaMatt posted:

Look this draft is a lot to take in and I just need pitching, so here's what we're doing. We're swapping:

Wynn & Bradley
Feller & Preacher
Lemon & Newhouser

And bc I can't see an immediate game changer like Greg Maddux or Cy Young or w/e we're drafting 1978 Nolan Ryan and putting him at SP2. Sending down Mark Langston. Putting McCormick at SR. Randy Myers will be bumped to Setup.

CirclMastr & The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Softball Team are UP!

# ? Jan 2, 2023 01:23

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Der Kommander

NU LEAGUE: WEEK 10

I have made what I think is every change people asked for through the first round of the draft. HulkaMatt's draft of Joe Kelley is complete but he's not on the roster until next week's update.

PLEASE go back and check your teams and make sure I didn't gently caress anything up when it comes to drafting people or making roster moves to get your newly drafted folks to the MLB level.

Related: just because you drafted someone doesn't mean they're on your MLB roster! You have to ask to do that since someone has to go to the minors in exchange. In the case of Deadford, he asked to demote someone to the minors who was already there, so I couldn't add his new person to the roster.

Anyway, just double check and if I hosed something up, I'll fix it.

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Der Kommander

John Tudor's just not having a good time. Putting him in long relief and we'll see what Steve Busby can do in the rotation instead.

Tommy Herr to AAA, Mark Ellis comes up. He'll play 2B against lefties since Molitor plays 3B then.

The BJ Surhoff experiment is over; I don't know what I expected to happen. Kendall back up and will be PC for Harden.

At least Sid Fernandez immediately paid dividends.
