Outrunner, I'm rooting for your team. I wish that I were an expansion owner to get those Tigers teams, so good luck.

Ordius: I want Ty Cobb. If you're interested in trading, what are you looking for? I have some great starting pitching (I don't think Oil Can Boyd is gonna pan out for you and I don't know what your backup plan is...), and whatever else might tickle your fancy. Let me know.

Ordius posted:Ty Cobb is one of the best hitters of all time. You're going to have to blow me away. Don't you already have a poo poo-ton of outfielders on your roster? I'm giving away two of my best in this deal, plus a decent pitcher, when you could just pull from your feeders and have a competent outfield. I'd want something more from this. If I'm giving up both Mantle and Maris, then I want Sam Crawford thrown in, along with Tom Seaver.

Ordius posted:I need to think this over. I'm not sure about losing Crawford for Maris, even though I've got a smaller ballpark and Maris has more power. That's fine, I need to postpone the negotiations anyways, I just lost my 2B for the season. I'll get back to you after I figure out what I'm going to do. OTHER EXPANSION CUP OWNERS! I am bent over a barrel here, and I have an injured 1985 Paul Molitor, in the prime of his career. Molitor posted a 122 career OPS+ and drew almost as many walks as he had strikeouts, and can play both 2B/3B. Unfortunately, he's out for the season for me. For you guys, on the other hand, he'd be fresh and new. I'm only looking for a 2B at the moment, and I have other pieces to offer like 1961 Yankee RF Roger Maris, 1968 Tiger 1B Norm Cash, and 1911 Athletic SP Chief Bender. Make me a fair offer. cbx fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Aug 6, 2012 |

Ah, so he's behind this... I should've guessed. The last EC was definitely -50%, and he's trying to drive up injuries so that he has less work to do.

Motor City Bengals For reasons that will soon become clear, I'm doing a last check to see if people are interested in any trades from the Bengals. Off limits are Verlander, Mantle, Ripken, Henke, and Boggs. Yes, that means that Miguel Cabrera is up for discussion. There's a good Smoky Joe Wood... Doug Fister's been kicking butt too... Sweet Lou Whitaker *sob* is also available... As posted in the other thread, I'm running this like a pretend Super-Auction. Bids close in 23 hours, at 11 PM EST. I will check both threads. cbx fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Aug 27, 2012 |

I have a boatload of hitting. I've got John Olerud with a career OPS+ of 129. I've got the Saint of Bellhorn. I've got Jim Rice, Hall of Famer LF with an OPS+ of 137. Mike Greenwell, with a career BA over 300 and a career OPS+ of 121. Just tell me what you're interested in.

 My stats pics are all sorts of hosed up. Who is Guy Kramer and why is he playing at all in my lineup? Why is Mantle at 1B instead of in CF? Guillen is a backup, he shouldn't be starting over Whitaker at 2B. As for pitching, yank Boddicker to LR and replace him with Summers. Guy's dealing right now and it'd be a shame not to take advantage. Also, I think I'm taking some extra losses 'cause of these drafted players somehow getting inserted into my lineup. If they have stats, they've been playing when they shouldn't be.

Smasher Dynamo posted:Not to rush any of you, but time does keep marching on... I'd still like to see accurate snapshots of my team. I might be starting Boddicker, but I have no clue who's actually playing out in the field and what my actual stats are. Is that honestly too much to ask?

: Hello, old friend, it is I, Mike Boddicker. You know, it takes a certain amount of courage to make me your #4 starter in the Super-League. Others will laugh at you, call you names, mock you endlessly. In fact, when Smasher Dynamo writes your obit, and, it's fair to say that this is inevitable when I am starting for your team, I would expect several paragraphs describing the sheer extent of the damage I did to your team. But you ignore all of that, and start my regardless, and for that, I salute you!

Warm Sarsaparilla posted:Seriously? The fielding snap is correct with respect to position, the batting stats are the actual batting stats. Is this not the case? The batting stats are fine but I seem to have people receiving at bats that are fictional players. As far as fielding goes, I have a player out in the field in Ichiro that has his stats displayed at his natural position. Problem is, I'm not playing him in his natural position. I'm asking for a non-batch-processed screenshot of my lineup and defensive stats, I'm not begging Smasher to run challenges, for gently caress's sake.

Smasher Dynamo posted:It's not too much to ask, but your team has much larger problems, and you need to address them. Yeah, I hosed up, and Suzuki sat on the bench for a couple of games he shouldn't have, but you know what, that hasn't caused nearly as much damage as Mike Boddicker and Jimmy Key have to your team. Yeah, I can see the ERAs, I'm still trying to figure out a plan that doesn't involve George Mullin being 3x worse than either Boddicker or Key on a regular basis for me. I don't mind or care if you hosed up, and I even thought the Boddicker chat was funny. I just want the same stats that everyone else gets, so I can make informed decisions for my team. With that having been said, I feel like you missed this in my last post: cbx posted:
So I'm reposting it. Mike Boddicker to Long Relief, Ed Summers to 4th spot in the rotation.

The Splinter Cells traded their 2nd round pick received from the Cultists BACK to the Cultists in the Lou Whitaker deal. Net result: Norfolk owns their own picks in both rounds and none other. Draft Preferences are 1st round: Best Starting Pitcher available 2nd round: Best Middle Infielder available I don't think there's a 3rd round, but if there is, the preference is Best Reliever Available.
