Mornacale posted:It's a lot easier to not worry about roster moves when you have the most broken player in SL history, who never gets injured and makes your pitching staff essentially immune to being injured and/or sucking, and somehow got to keep him despite being Macho'd. Hey now, if anything can be learned from your history of roster moves, it's that it's also a lot easier to not worry about your roster moves when you find out that your Sub-Par League gimmick isn't getting you as far in the Super-League as you had thought.

Craig, didn't you just come from the Sub-Par after spending like twelve seasons consistently underperforming in order to amass a boatload of draft picks? Maybe... maybe you shouldn't be throwing any stones from inside of that glass house, is all I'm saying

(admittedly, "surviving in the Sub-Par for like twelve seasons" is a more impressive feat than I've ever managed so far, it's true, so I shouldn't be stone-throwing either I guess)

I feel like this has been said already, but one team does not the MACHINE make. Those of you that really believe it so, let's hear it. If the MACHINE is the most broken player ever, what will you offer for its services? I've won championships and kinda stagnated and honestly I'd like to mix things up going forward. So Iet's hear offers for it. No Buck, no Babe, but if the MACHINE is that godly, what have you to offer?

But it's probably worth a good SS plus a good hitter and elite pitcher. So like Trammell plus manny plus joss or something.

For the machine ? I'll.offer prime Alan Trammel + your choice of pitcher (08 Joe Wood, 08 cy young, 90 Old hoss, 02 jack Powell ) + any hitter not named Tris speaker (that's a 41 Ted Williams , 52 Ted Williams,25 Gehrig or 38 Mel Ott)

Craig K posted:That trade owns I got satchel Paige and this speaker as the headliners plus a bunch of other starters Sure. But now the RCMP offense is unstoppable. He offered you a trade like the Pirates could have way back when if we'd cared more about firepower than longevity. I'm also drunk and open season on the MACHINE is still in effect. I don't know, gently caress it it's time for a change

He'd have gone top 5 in the draft we're in now, which happens to be pretty stacked at SS so you can get one there. You're not getting Ledesma hands off! TZ is based on range which is based on opportunities which is rooted in the fact you're heavily into deadballers. It doesn't mean he's good, it means he doesn't gently caress up so badly that the boatload of chances he gets are squandered. 32 year old Boggs is league average at best, and a candidate for intra-year depreciation. I'd love him because his bat fits my team perfectly and I don't care much about 3B defense, but deadball teams probably lose more value than you'd expect from his glove.

There is nobody on my team I would trade for The Machine. Nobody. If you really have your heart set on trading with me, you can have Julio Lugo from my feeders. But you'll have to throw in your 4th.
