mentholmoose, I'm interested in one of those picks you just acquired.

Anyone else picking soon: as long as one of the players I'm interested in is still on the board, I'm prepared to offer several top caliber players for your pick. If I can get several picks, then my Babe Ruth is on the table.

If you're interested, pm me on the forums, or DM me on Twitter @cmbatter

The only pick I've still got is #42. I could definitely use a 2B if you want to send Lajoie over.



Or, if anyone wants to send a 2B my way for pick 42. I'm just looking for somebody who can spell Collins for a bit and isn't that bad with the glove. Preferably a righty.

Yeah, if I was running a Super-League quality team already then that'd be one thing, but taking a terrible team and adding some good draft picks isn't enough to keep them out of the Gauntlet - just ask the Murphs - so several good players rather than one excellent one seemed the wiser plan to me.

I agree that getting several good players for Ruth would have benefited you, unfortunately you instead got a pile of the bench filler Moose had been unsuccessfully trying to pawn off for more than a season.

The Generics see many glittering prizes, but in the interests of commerce and delaying this as long as reasonable, will entertain offers for the pick. Looking for some bats for the COF and some pitching, maybe.

Nope. Simply not willing to go that high. Not when that's a drop of over a third of the entire draft, from a pick that actually used to draft Curt Schilling straight up (#59, Canton Calamities, DDXII; #51, Kobe Crows, DDXIII) down into the depths of lottery tickets, in addition to two decent enough players. If that's what you're asking, then keep him.

I have too many COFs! Do any of 01 Ed Delahanty, 29 Al Simmons or 97 Larry Walker sound good? Also I'm probably wasting 02 Joe McGinnity as a LR if he works for you as an SP.

Hypothetically, yes, but practically, he isn't perfectly attuned to my team philosophy (too many ground balls), so the premium I'd have to pay would probably not be worth it. That, and I'm still not sure whatever success you had pitching-wise with the Southpaws wasn't just some crazy magic trick.

Yeah, my bullpen could use another guy or two, but who I'm using can hold the fort, and another starter is indeed a greater priority.

I still hold that making Randy Johnson one of the best starters in the league wasn't so much a magic trick as it was dark arts requiring goat's blood.

Kershaw is far better than Randy. I think each time a new year of stats is added he gets a bit more pedro-esque.

I cam understand the worry about my stadium aiding him, but I think (unlike Randy) that he doesn't need it to have success.

Youre right that my cost would probably be too high for most people since I'd be using one of my three slots to keep him.

Just seeing if anyone had any interest in the first place before I start looking at feeders. Still driving across the country.

Hey, I don't think there's much that can be done about this now, but the Harry Heilmanns that Forzelt and I drafted in last years Super Draft seem to be reversed.



https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1mzYBQ6qbHw9FcHv-Ev5s1ZC6Zl9hI_uXKPRN80DfzwU/htmlview

As you can see, I took the 1919 Heilmann and the Dino's took the 1917 version.

Yet according to http://super-league.tk/viewplayer.php?id=heilmha01

I had the 1917 one and he had the 1919 one.

I assume this'll take care of itself when we submit rosters for next season, and I doubt this made a difference in the outcome of last season. My accidentally Baby Heilmann was very bad, but I wasn't going to make the playoffs anyway. And Forzelt got a better season that still wasn't enough to keep him out of last.

Just wanted to point this out mostly for Forzelt since his Heilmann has a higher risk of being disappointing, I guess.

You would think that's evidence of a mistake, but forzelt played the invisible envelope, allowing him to swap one of his players for the same player on any other team. Of course, as part of the terms of that trade, it was to be kept secret from everyone.

Top-end deadballer (Alexander, Waddell, and Mathewson are the three that come to mind), preferably at least one reliever to fill a gap, and maybe a draft pick depending on the caliber and year of the two previous.

Ace starters are dependent on the defense and stadium, and therefore there's huge variety in who's an ace and who's not. With a lovely infield defense, deadballers are poor ace choices, for example, and while one might be the best player available they might not be best for your particular team's layout.

Ace closers are...Rivera & that's about it. There are less options for true ace relievers.

Alternate response: would you rather have 30 good starts, or 50 lights-out finishes?
