 Trade BaitEXPANSION GMs - WILD DISCOUNTS TO BE HAD: Look, I need relief pitching and have all sorts of crazy crap that isn't even making my 28 man roster. You can exploit the fact I'm Australian and thus know nothing about baseball to offer me dumb stuff. Lou Warnke is a 5 time all star pitcher and isn't even making my starting roster as it stands. I need your relief pitching! This is an opportunity that is closing for both of us, we can trade stuff freely off our feeder team without consuming our 28 man spots, so I can do 2:1 deals or whatever. Any GM: I am prepared to sell Tris Speaker. I would want a super star player in any position in return. Bill James reckons he's the 11th best player of all time, so thing something similar. If Tris Speaker isn't your thing, I have Hall of Fame Centre Fielder Hack Wilson for sale, and more importantly I have Hall of Famer Hack Wilson in the best year he had in a storied career. He posted .356/.454/.723 with an OPS of 1.117(!). Okay he's not babe ruth, but in the same year babe posted 1.225 so we're pretty close. mrnoun posted:
Yeah look, couple of other people have tried to trade me for Hornsby and Foxx. Just to be clear, Hornsby and Foxx are untouchable unless it's for a similar top 10 all time heavy hitter. Like, say, DiMaggio. We could work out something involving Triss Speaker for DiMaggio. However, not to shut things down completely, I'm still interested in support at 3B (though Pinky Higgins isn't totally rubbish), so what else have you got? I'm not interested in Nellie Fox, he's too young, my Backups there are in their prime. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Aug 6, 2012 |

kw0134 posted:I guess I'll approve so we can get this ball rolling finally. What year on Maddux? Realistically though I have a bunch of randoms (literally!) that can take 1B until the expansion draft, so I'm probably looking for a blockbuster deal on an Left or Right outfielder. A pure power slugger who will never set foot on the field is an option, but much less preferred. Equally I can hock Speaker and not Hack, both are great centrefielders and I can always find a DH later. Trade Bait Update So I rummaged around in my feeder teams in anticipation of having a sudden Jimmiee Foxx shaped hole at first base and found a bunch of good stuff, and while none of it is a First Baseman of Legend, Hall of Famer Pitcher Lon Warneke and hall of Fame Right Fielder Harry Hooper are on the block. Lon is probably to young to be anything other than a speculative bet but Harry Hooper was a real major leaguer at this point. Other stuff (More outfielders, pitching) in this post: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499603&pagenumber=1#post406227341 I still want your bullpen arms.

1 A. To be champions! C. Its owner's cunning A. Take the risk! Death of glory! A. 'Good' and 'evil' are moral constructs that have little meaning inside the world of the Super-League, where cooperation is effectively impossible and one team's survival requires the death of another. To be 'good' in such a world is to be suicidal, to be 'evil' to merely desire to continue to live, and so the words lose all meaning. Yes, Marauder is 'evil', and we should all aspire to be so. A. Defense. Too many teams have put absolutely brutal defenders in the field and then been shocked when their pitching falters as a result. Judging by my roster though, I'm sure hoping that B is part of the answer to, and Hornsby is to old for A. Also, defence is pretty weird in BM2013. As is game calling. A. I hosed up. C. Josh Gibson as a complete position player who could play catcher very well every day - a tough defensive cornerstone position - and still hit for power. That said it's close. It heavily depends on how you define best, and what you consider baseball. It's probable that the best major league baseball player ever is Babe Ruth. Every time the metrics to measure value are redefined, Babe remains king of the hill. But it's close. Teddy williams minus the war years may be better. Very close. But if we expand to 'all of baseball' three options come into play: A) Satchel Paige, who is clearly the best pitcher to ever play baseball, and it's not even close. Paige's playing career started at 41 and he then posted a higher career ERA than Bert Bleveyn and Phil Neikro, who retired at 41 and 39 respectively. If he had of played MLB from 21 onwards, he would easily post the numbers to be the best pitcher to every play MLB. It's likely that he had thrown more pitches by the time he retired than any professional player ever. If he was on the juice Clemens style, no-one knows what might have been possible. B) Josh Gibson, a contender because he's a truly massive power hitter that could play catcher rather than being stashed in the outfield. It's hard to tell how good he was defensively so assuming Gibson could 'merely' hit as well as Aaron, and Gibson had the rocket throwing arm and defensive skills history assigns him, Gibson would probably win. Neither Babe nor Teddy were exactly good at defending. Babe forced his opposite corner outfielder to play in the sun because Babe was worried that he'd make defensive errors. Teddy plainly didn't give a poo poo about the tedious fielding stuff separating him from his next at bat. Gibson on the other hand could play catcher and apparently play it well. C) Oscar Charleston. We'll obviously never know, but of these three Oscar has the weakest case over Ruth and Teddy. Satchel Paige remains the bridesmaid as he cannot truly compare to an every day player but if he's the perfect player at his position, does not that make a compelling case? How do you even define best? It's possible that he was the best pitcher ever by a country mile, whereas the gap between Teddy Ballgame and Babe Ruth is not that large, indeed Teddy Williams might be better, and the gap between Teddy and say, Dimaggio isn't very large either. If we look at it is 'who stands so far out from their peers that there can be essentially no debate as to their greatness' Satchel Paige is the the most perfect baseball player, because he is just so much better than anyone else on the list. C. Atop a floating island that glides along with the win, never stopping in any place for too long. D. I'm tempted to say Shoeless Joe Jackson because I'm pretty sure the guy didn't do anything wrong.. and he was pretty good. But then again, didn't Jim Wynn get exactly 0 votes despite being a pretty legit contender, especially if you normalise for his lovely, lovely hitters park. The man has a lifetime OPS+ 128. BBWAA gave votes in that year to loving Tommy Helms, who is in every measurable respect worse at Baseball than Jim Wynn. That's not just a snub, that's a massive gently caress you from the BBWAA, so that clearly wins. D. Doctor Who that said it's close. A. Yes! I think having to have lived in hiding for all these years is pretty bad. D. Thursday A. 'Suck' is a strong word, it probably won't be quite as good, as it depended a lot on the sensibilities of Dan Harmon to work properly, but it will still be competent enough. It'll still be canceled, though. C. Eri Yoshida as long as I can keep her in the minors. [b]D. Smasher's got to know exactly how much lunacy the lot of you can tolerate. Montage as I convert the Commutants to warriors for justice, then I kill all the robots. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Aug 10, 2012 |

Trade Bait Look, I still have multiple hall of famers that are not making my 28 that I want to flog off. "high Pockets" Kelly isn't rubbish, he's just not Jimmie Foxx so he's not going to get a guernsey, I've got Lou Warneke, Harry Hooper. Open to deals. Trade Offer Senario You expressed an interest in this in the channel, so here is a flyer: Cultists get: You get: Pat Malone (27 year old world series winning staff ace in his prime, 1930 cubs), Charley Hall and Ed Karger. I will swap out any of those pitchers for Steve Avery or Lou Warneke (at 21, but a Hall of Famer). You can swap out two and get both Avery and Warneke too. Realistically though Pat Malone is a decent starter and the rest have problems. Ed Karger is a good pitcher if you have a big stadium, but his WHIP is to high if you play in a bandbox, Charley Hall is like Ed except a righty, Lou is too young though might be worth a flyer in relief or in your minors and Avery breaks all the time but is good when he's not broken.

Useful factoid that other owners may care about on. On average, players will miss games. The average numbers of games missed per season is: 17 for a healthy position player 30 for an unhealth or old position player 47 games for a healthy catcher A loving shitload for an unhealthy catcher 3-4 starts for a health pitcher 5-6 starts for an unhealthy pitcher.

Jut to prove I'm not totally disingenuous, look at Randy go! Oh Randy,  you're just to erratic to keep, but thanks for the 4-1 record. I'll have to get big unit back some day to join big six and big train on the mound, just for the names though. Also, check out those streaks! They lost 6 on the trot, then presumably after the woke up and actually went to a baseball game, they managed 12 in a row. Nice work team. Now don't loving lose 6 in a row. quote:Here's the team nobody expected to become a juggernaut, because I doubt anyone but you realized how loving fast your baserunners are. Ignoring Darrell Porter, the slowest speed in your starting lineup is 89, and the lowest contact rating is 88. Add in your deadball pitchers and your giant foggy monstrosity of a ballpark, and you've got probably the most exciting and dangerous team in the Cup. Wow, yeah, that is.. sure something. I think that lot proves that was is undervalued is super speedy contact hitting.  I fiddled with my roster again, check it out at: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499603&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1#post406227341 But basically, aside from the forced roster changes, you'll be pleased to see I've gone to one batting order. Also, please check my bullpen. Frank smith is not a setup man, promote Phil Coker to setup man, put Valverde in short relief and send Frank Smith to the minors.

mrnoun posted:The Luna Landers are looking for a starting catcher, and we're willing to offer starting pitching for a really good one. I've got Munson, who's looking okay for the Factorlities? I also have gabby hartnett, so he's not starting for me. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Aug 17, 2012 |

Smasher Dynamo posted:Good news! Thanks to Cthulhu making a script that automates the update process, I've decided to cancel the Expansion Gauntlet and just expand the Super-League. And on that note, here is the Expansion Cup Version! Okay, I promised SmasherDynamo I'd make a tool that automates the process of creating a SuperLeague post and.. well, it's mostly done. I'll try and close the gap, but it's pretty good and definitely usable now. A) Captures Overview, Pitching and Lineup screens for all teams in the league B) Feeds all the images into Rightload so they can be uploaded to Lpix, enabling one click uploading C) When you've finished uploading it lets you copy a skeleton post for use on SA. Installation Instructions
Note: The script will save each update to C:\SuperLeagueUpdate and overwrite any files there. BACK UP EACH UPDATE! Usage Instructions To use:
At the end, you'll have a complete post with all the images in it on your clipboard. Paste this into an SA forum window, ad you just need to add your text, and you're done. Grab me on IRC to discuss, troubleshot and generally debug. I am sure there will be problems. I can also work on adding some features or whatever to help your workload. Edit: Here is a sample of output code:

DOOP posted:I have no idea what I'm looking at with regards to the script, but it sure looks cool. Some real good work there Cthulhu. Just need to get the bugs worked out - it's got a bunch of really computer specific stuff - I probably need to drag my 1280x1024 monitor out to get the Expansion league one working properly.

 Swap Eddie Cicotte to SP 5 for Ray Collins to Long Relief gently caress you Ray, I don't like having to start a knuckleballer any more than you do, but then I noticed he has a better fastball and is better at baseball from you. Enjoy long relief. Earl Battey catches for Eddie Cicotte and someone buys him a the biggest fielding mits money can buy The rest of you, keep that up, though if someone can get a fielding coach to explain to Hornsby how you catch and throw a baseball that would be great.
