I'm surprised it took a couple of selections for the '86 Pirates to go - Sir Barrold Lamar Bonds for one point? Sign me up.

Okay, let's try this again:

Here's the thing. Most of the current owners are going to get relegated, and that's a bummer. For that reason, if at least five owners decide they want to work together to build a new expansion team, I'll let it happen.

But wait, there's more! These owners will retain an ownership interest in the new team even if their current team survives into next season!

Why do I do this? Because as entertaining as it has been to watch you guys try to destroy each other, I'm pretty sure watching you work together would be even funnier. So, let's make this happen.

I'm interested in this.

Hey-ho, it's back to the well we go!

1971 Giants (4)
1979 Cardinals (2)
1986 Braves (1)
and from last try...
1934 White Sox (1)
1943 Cubs (1)
1991 Astros (1)

C 79 Ted Simmons
C 71 Dick Dietz
UT 91 Craig Biggio
(They can hit)
1B 71 Willie McCovey
1B 79 Keith Hernandez
1B 91 Jeff Bagwell
UT 43 Phil Cavaretta
(A Hall guy, a great defender, and a lottery ticket - and Cavvy, who's a solid pinch hitter or bench player)
2B 43 Eddie Stankey
(great patience)
SS 34 Luke Appling
(Hall of Fame shortstop)
3B 43 Stan Hack
(Solid)
LF 34 Al Simmons
(another Hall player - about to decline but still 133 career OPS+)
CF 71 Willie Mays
CF 86 Dale Murphy
(Willie is 40 but still Willie Mays - Murphy can handle it if Willie breaks down - power and Gold Gloves)
RF 43 Bill Nicholson
RF 71 Bobby Bonds
(probably a platoon - not stellar, but very capable)
4OF 79 Gary Hendrick
IF 79 Ken Oberkfell

AAA 91 Kenny Lofton (prospect)

Just missed:
COF 86 Ken Griffey Sr (is 36)
4OF 43 Andy Pafko (is a rookie)
IF 86 Ken Oberkfell (one copy of a utility infielder you hope doesn't have to start ever is enough)

SP 71 Juan Marichal
SP 71 Gaylord Perry
SP 34 Ted Lyons
(three Hall of Famers mid-career)
SP 86 Doyle Alexander
SP 43 Claude Passeau
(All-Stars with a pulse)

Bullpen:
71 Steve Hamilton
86 Bruce Sutter
86 Gene Garber
86 Paul Assenmacher
86 Duane Ward
43 Lon Warneke

AAA 43 Paul Derringer (spare starter)
AAA 91 Curt Schilling (prospect)

This is, in fact, 28 in the majors, plus three in the minors and the "just missed" guys, but I figure you other gentlemen can help!

We could use a better backup plan at SS/3B (Biggio is the backup plan at 2B), but we have some good trade chips. Thoughts?

I'll approve this.

Somewhat shockingly, we managed to get people together in IRC to put together the following, slightly modified, lists: (Forever and Bruiser were terrified by Ted Simmons' defense)

Round 1: Mordecai Brown/Carlton/Ford/Berra/'98 I-Rod/Foxx/Kaat
Round 2: (the above, but only one catcher total) + Berkman/Klein/Cronin/Schoendienst/Murray/'01 I-Rod
Round 3: (the above, but only draft one C/RF/IF) + RP Jeff Montgomery or better/SP

I, too, approve of the Hernandez-Martinez trade.

I approve of the draft lists and the trade.

Trade Offers

We have Bill Nicholson, right fielder from the 1943 Cubs, available for trade - OPS+ of 166, and 132 for his career; .309/.386/.531 that year.

We also have two copies of Ken Oberkfell (79 and 86), if any of you need a utility infielder with good patience. Can play 2B/3B well, and SS in a pinch.

Looking for pitching and a solid backup catcher.

I approve.

Just to get this officially recorded in the thread, SmasherDynamo and I have made a bet. If the Packers win their game tonight, I get 5 Pick 'Em points and my choice of any one player who played for any of my teams at any point. If the Packers lose tonight, I lose 5 Pick 'Em points, and one player of Smasher's choice is eliminated from the Woodchucks.
