So my MDP ripoff team ends up 113-49. Vince Coleman stole a couple bases.



Nice, I still have like 7 free teams won by that team. Of course, playing that team kind of burnt me out on WiS.

Cookies...the best....and the worst.

Alright, my $255m team is done.



And doing the line-up analysis was quite different than usual.



Assuming that's the Gehrig and Foxx that actually have ratings at those positions, they'll probably be hilariously terrible, maybe even more so than a year that doesn't have a rating at all. But it has modern Bonds so gently caress yeah.

Meanwhile, I think I'm entering this in an OL. Drafting the starting pitching based on hitting ability is obviously an abominably bad idea and makes this team far worse than if I'd just thrown some deadballers in there, but gently caress it, Coooooooors.



Maybe we can win 50 games

If you don't mind, maybe hold off on entering that and we can do a semi-goon rush. I know some people have some OL teams in mind they'd like to enter and it's a chance to get Groucho and some of the other people that have shown interest indoctrinated into WIS.

Lol, I'm already making a different (hopefully not as horrible) team that I can enter for a rush. I'd prefer a team with that horrific of a pitching staff not be in a league full of goons to be honest.

Lol, that awful Coors team I entered got 1906 Bill Bergen in AAA. # line of 165 .181 .209 .390 ownssssss

edit: Bill Bergen inspired me to throw this together



As far as my silly gimmick teams go I kind of like it. Maybe I'll save it for that goon OL rush that was mentioned before

Through 4 games 2007 Bonds has 8 walks, 1 hit, and 1 strikeout. 2007 Bonds is the best Bonds.

Not surprisingly my Coors team in the OL sucks, the D-Train has a 2.3 WHIP and more importantly has sucked at the plate. What's really pissing me off though is I've actually lost a bunch of games due to poor hitting. Only '79 Kingman is really doing very well, and even that isn't anything exceptional for Coors. I wanted to lose every game 20-15, not 10-3!

This team is 8-20 despite having hit 74 homers in 28 games (disregard that like half of those came in this game)

Bob, your lineup reminds me of something. Do you guys not designate closers and just have a bunch of setup guys for some reason that I am just not aware of? Closers cost money or?

I usually draft a bunch of good relievers, so their is just no point in having a designated closer.

Don't worry, you just have to win a few world series and get all your money back! It's like a casino slot machine, as long as you keep playing you can't lose

I just looked through my Aaron world's team, out of every arbitration eligible player, and every MLB and minor league free agent, I have a grand total of 0 players I'd want back at any price.

Man this team is going to be an abomination

Nah if it was my league I'd bump the payroll up so you could get Highball in there

Are you already out of your ToC money?

I have some left, but I'm saving that for the next season of goon league/progressive

I mean if everyone else joined this league peer pressure would force me to do it I suppose

A lot of times when someone posts play-by-play with the box score hidden, I'll just unhide the box and take a glance.

I encourage anyone else who does that not to do so for this game.

The suspense really built in that 8th inning

So check out this game from my OL team. Very first inning:



Okay, solid start for Rapid Robert, gets two outs in the first three batters. One more out and he's got himself a pretty painless first inni-



Wha-

Does this guy have his intentional walk setting at 5 or something??? Who IBB's anyone in the first inning, let alone Curtis Granderson???? Clearly my guys must make him pay.






Well done, fellas.

Congrats, you've found Jim Leyland's WiS team

I usually put the Dizzy types somewhere between 30/50 and 50/70, but I'm apparently a bit of an outlier there.
