Hah. I went to a backups lineup and still remain close to the top. I think I'll keep 'em in for another week, if they can take 2 out of 3 from the Cultists.

I realize my actual qualities don't allow me any qualification for managing a fantasy fantasy baseball all-star team, but I do thank Smasher for at least putting me on the ballot.

Radbourns!

I'll trade you a viable, hitting 1B for that Jimmie Foxx. John Olerud is currently batting over .300 (.321 I believe) with a .394 OBP. What say you?

Alright. Now that the draft order is fixed, set my lineup back to my normal one. That should be:

Starting Lineup:

Ty Cobb RF
Wade Boggs 3B
1956 Triple Crown Winner Mickey Mantle CF
2012 Triple Crown Winner Miguel Cabrera 1B
Mike Piazza C
John Olerud DH
Cal Ripken Jr SS
Ichiro Suzuki LF
Lou Whitaker 2B

edit: Don't know why I'm trying to help another corporate team. Disregard.

Poughkeepsie! Right now I have Teddy Ballgame going to the Radbourns, which leaves you with the best player available being... either Pete Alexander or Harmon Killebrew. I don't know how much interest you have in Killer or Alexander, but if you're wanting to step down a few picks, Killer would still be there. I'd like to swap picks with you if that's indeed who you're after. I'll also include 1 rating challenge and my second round draft pick?

cbx, that really saves me some time but, and let's call it intuition, I think the Bangers will take a catcher with their own first-round pick, and pick players in the second-round in the following orders:

SP Spahn or better (this seems unlikely)
Joe Cronin
Willie Randolph
Votto/Giambi
Reliever. Not Remlinger.

And then, just a wild guess, I think the Phoenixes' exact preferences are:

Brett/Chipper
Killer/Papi/McGwire
Fred Lynn (why does Mogul hate Josh Hamilton so?)
SP Spahn or better

--Second round:

See above.
Votto/Giambi (please don't draft two 1B)
Cedeno/Sizemore/Carey
Reliever. Still not Remlinger. Or Dolf Luque, actually.

Alright, I couldn't find Marauder's prefs anywhere. I'll update shortly.

I actually had put up a post saying Go back to my normal lineup and for your benefit, even posted my original lineup. I was only tanking before the draft to get a few slots higher.

edit: Still combing through the draft preferences... Marauder's prefs have thrown me for a loop and I had some severe RL issues come up throughout the day. No promises on the Mock Draft v2 for tonight, unfortunately.

You know that the screenshots lag. Besides, I just checked and the lineups are entered right, it's just a glitch in the screenshotting process.

Fair enough. I thought I got my lineup change in before this round of sims. No harm done. OH. Make sure that Boyd comes back out of my rotation and I have my normal 5 of Clemens/Verlander/Seaver/Summers/Mullin. Boyd back down into the AAA depths, Boddicker and Key in at LR.

Also, please check my corrections on this, I thought I got everyone's changes in but I could be missing some.

Alright. Now that I have a new pitcher, slot him in behind Verlander and we're gonna go to a 4 man rotation for a little while. Clemens/Verlander/Santana/Summers. Boddicker back to LR, Boyd to AAA. Also, let's give Olerud a little break by playing Stargell at first for now.

Trade Accepted. Tommy John goes to 5th slot in the rotation, and I'm back to a 5 man rotation. Brewer replaces Putz in the bullpen. Stargell takes over for Ichiro in LF. Cabrera is back to DH, and Olerud is back to 1B. New lineup in a moment.

So. Due to the baseball gods giving the Yankees an extra day to rest up before getting swept by my Tigers, I will be working tomorrow and as such, will not have time to start inputting rosters until Friday. If the unthinkable happens, and the Yankees get a game, I will be working Friday as well. Thankfully, that's the last game I have to work in any scenario until the World Series, so I will then have time to get the EC started.

What this means for you, new owners, is that you still have time to do your trades and post your full rosters and sliders so that I can get things started.

Alright, New Owners!

I have begun inputting rosters. However, I am dismayed that several of you have still not posted your completed rosters/sliders for me to labor over.

Post them in the next couple days or be gone from the EC and SL for the season! Deadline is Sunday at midnight EST

Sliders affect different strategies. I'll post a random example:

Hit and Run: -4
Sacrifice Bunt: -5
Squeeze Play: 1
Trying for extra bases: -2
Stealing Bases: -2
Aggressively Tagging Up: 4
Pitch Outs (to prevent stolen bases): 0
Giving Intentional Walks: -2
Pitching Around Good Hitters: 0
Bringing the Infield In: 0
Guarding the Lines: 0
Making Cutoff Throws: +2
Bringing in Pinch Hitters: +4
Bringing in Pinch Runners: 0
Bringing in Defensive Replacements: +2
Starting Pitchers on Short Rest: +1
Letting pitchers pitch throw trouble: -3
Letting Pitchers rack up high pitch counts: -2

These commands tell your in-game manager how aggressive or avoidant to be in each situation. For example: Hit and Run -4 means that this owner really doesn't want their manager to call for the Hit and Run play, preferring his or her virtual players to play station to station ball, so to speak. The ranges are -5 to +5

cbx
Dec 4, 2007

Nope. I would recommend that you keep a list of your trades and injuries throughout the EC season, so you know who you're bringing into the SL, as well as who might need to be replaced due to the injury factor. Also, it helps us keep track of your team as well, to have some sort of backup.

Gibson to C, Berra to DH. Keep them in the same spots in the lineup.

Anybody want Berra? Just need a decent replacement for McDougald...

I'd take him but I don't have another middle infielder atm other than Guillen and he's my only insurance in case of injury.

Rosters have been entered for the: Air Raids, Arguments, Commies, Elephants, and Barons. Next up are the Smokers, Surf, Dickshots, Mashers, and Woodchucks.

This was my list of teams as of today, any owners that have remaining teams that I have not just listed need to have their final rosters/sliders posted in this thread, or if you have done so and I missed your team (which is definitely possible), please link me to your roster post so I can get the information imported.

EC Update!

As per Smasher's request, I'm now posting the divisional alignment for this Expansion Cup. Here's who you'll be fighting against for your tune-up season:

Alignment

Laissez Faire Division (DH)
Spokane Air Raids
Norfolk Splinter Cells <- filler team led by yours truly.
Cleveland Commies
Cuba Smokers
Hartford Whalers

Already Relegated Division (DH)
New England Arguments
Providence Barons
New Orleans Mashers
Philadelphia Failures
Seattle Suicides

Non-Existents Division (No-DH)
San Jose Elephants
Wausau Woodchucks
Web 2.0 Bloggers BETA
Albany Pessimists
Oneida Spooners

Sub-Tropical Division (No-DH)
Cancun Tornadoes
Venice Beach Surf
Catalina 2 Fish 1 Bubble
Flushing Flying Dutchmen
Florida Dickshots

If you've found your team in a no-DH division when you specified DH, I apologize. There are simply too many owners that wanted DH that I could not accommodate everyone's wishes. This could easily change for the Super-League, so don't give up hope! Just post your rosters to make them No-DH compatible, and Smasher will get a preview up letting you know what he thinks about your teams so you can have your expectations properly tempered.

Also, the prize for winning the EC is a best-of, turn of the century player of your choice. If my team somehow wins the EC, the prize will go to the winner of a best of seven series between the first-place no-DH team and the second-place DH team. I am NOT eligible for the prize, so don't worry.

The dispersal draft going into the SL will take your EC records into account when establishing draft order, so keep that in mind as well.

Unfortunately, I can't just put everyone on the DH train, because the Mogul engine will refuse to schedule a season so unbalanced. If you want to argue a case as to why I should switch your team to the DH side, and what team your team would replace, then feel free to do so. I would be greatly entertained.

Welp. Let's put Putz back into the lineup in place of Benitez, give Clemens a break (why the gently caress is he 4-12?) by swapping him and Seaver in the lineup... and let's swap Soriano and Hasegawa.

Roger Clemens is on the trading block.

I'm looking for a comparative pitcher of stature, preferably a Nolan Ryan/Mordecai Brown/Walter Johnson type. Clemens is great, but for some reason he's just not performing well for my team.
