Any Riggs + luis for broken Hamilton. Riggs can play 2B as well, just not hugely well. Individually neither of them are as good as Josh, but both give depth.

Smasher Dynamo posted:10. Rated-R Superstars (28-26) Can this be fixed? Smasher Dynamo posted:
Okay you apparently all have problems at first base. I have an aging Stan Musial but he can still hit very hard very consistently and do all that while playing first base. I can also sell my spare outfielder collection as well, namely Harry Hooper, Bob Johnson, Luis Gonzalez and Stephenson Riggs. I'm perpetually keen to do a deal, so deals may be done! Edit: A few people have proposed buying Cuyler, and I'm open to the idea but he is a starter and also a long term utility player in any likely future cultists. Bob is probably better than Cuyler if you're looking for outfield power, but he cannot play Right Field. What I want to buy is: Draft Picks! Cause I might be able to solve my other problems with them later. Mike Schmidt or equivalent at 3B (He's replacing hornsby so no amount of 'big hitter bad glove' is gonna help unless it's a sufficiently big hitter to replace Stan Musial at DH in which case you're probably not going to want to do the deal) A legit starting ace, someone at Doug Fister's level or better. Elite short reliefs. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Aug 21, 2012 |

kw0134 posted:St Paul Bearers I think I've said this before, but you need to appoint a general manager. Otherwise you're going to suck and die. I'll do it if you stake me in, but that's not a great offer. Looking at the existing owners the other options are to make Brookyln Bruiser your manager for the purposes of running the roster because he's keen and it will annoy smasher. Then get someone else to be GM, ideally someone who is getting relegated.

Viscount Slim posted:It doesn't have to be anything so firm, though I I did say it was a bad deal. However, you do need to appoint a GM and the inability to capitalise on opportunities like the Whitey ford trade (God drat that trade) is why. But the proof is in the pudding I guess, so let's see how long this initiative, which is eminently sensible, takes to get passed.

^ it remembers your preferences, gotta keep it on default otherwise it doesn't work.  Its good for the superstars, but bad for me. I was really hoping you'd have run one more month before the roster changes. As is, I think I'm doomed. Swap Foxx and Hornsby in the batting order Foxx is mashing those dingers. Use Riggs at DH until Musial is back Put Bob Johnson in LF for 2 weeks. Put Kiki on the bench for a week, then put kiki in RF for a week and put larry walker on the bench for a week, then return to the status quo Against a really soft team put Woody English in for Banks for 3 days AND ONLY 3 DAYS.

Okay I cannot put Johnson in Left now, so this is going to be annoying: Luis Gonzalez gets pulled up to the bench Riggs becomes my full time LF for 14 days. Move Larry Walker to DH and Kiki Cuyler to RF for 7 days Then move Kiki Culyer to DH and Larry Walker to RF for 7 days. Then when Stan the Man is back from injury, move him to DH, Larry Walker to RF, Kiki to LF and put Riggs back on the bench. Tom Henke Takes over as setup man, Phil Coke moves to short relief when he gets back from injury to take over from Valverde who is now Promote Frank Smith to 5th Starter Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Aug 28, 2012 |

I don't know if people follow my post at the start of this thread, but I keep it updated with a list of things I have to buy and sell. Anyway, as I now have some pressing issues, let me draw them to broader attention: Wanted to buy: Small, tactical deals: I'm pretty good on infield depth now, but I need some outfield utility now I've sold Bob Johnson. Hitting isn't as important as an elite glove. I was hoping to get Sam Crawford who would fill my need here nicely. Swapping deadball pitching, I'm going to hit the deadball limit without lucky drafting so I want to move some of my deadball starters (Frank Smith and Ray Collins) for starting pitching that doesn't hit this limit. Picks! Wishlist stuff: Picks! Elite Relivers An Elite Left Fielder Elite Starting Pitching Parts for trade: Position Players who could credibly start in the super league: 3B: Miguel Cabrera (2011) - I'm sure his reputation Preceeds him, but: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabremi01.shtml Musial, Stan 38 - He's my DH for the moment and also my current utility outfielder Catcher: Bill Freehan (1968) AS + GG year, next year was AS + GG as well: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/freehbi01.shtml 1B: Boog Powell (1966) http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/powelbo01.shtml Bench material: Gardner, Larry 24 (IF) (1911 Boston Red Sox) - This guy is a very nice utility part but I have sweet Lou who is also a very nice utility part so this guy is on the block. An elite fielder and generally okay contact hitter at 2B/3B who can make 9th inning defensive substitutions every game and cover two tricky positions off the bench. Rates out at about 88/91. Amusingly, he's actually better than a whole bunch of starters in the Expansion Cup which says something about the quality of 2B in the league. Barajas, Rod 27 (C) 27 (2003 Arizona Diamond-Backs) In my continued quest to mismanage my catchers this is guy has become surplus to requirements. I'll send him down after the cup unless someone wants him. Starting Pitching - Ray and Frank are 4th and 5th starters. Frank is better than ray, he's an effective spitballer with 3 other usable pitchers. Ray is a fastball/curve pitcher who is mostly distinguished by being like Moredaci brown, except not as good. SP: Ray Collins (1911) http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/collira01.shtml SP: Frank Smith (1911) http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/smithfr03.shtml SP: Avery, Steve 25 (1995, Atlanta Braves, from Marauder, a replacement level player in the SL.

I think it's a cool concept, but my concern is 1st round of the gauntlet is pretty dire as a consequence. If that's the penalty I'll vote no with the Cultists, no with my superstars shares and no with everything else I have. But, my observation would be that collaboration is fun. I don't know about the other guys, but I'm enjoying working with The_Goog, Pungry, Senerio and TK Bomber, so making collaboration might be a bit more fun. Maybe a few more factions and have a prize awarded to the best faction? You could have an The Iron Horses for perpetual contenders that never quite make it, Superstars LLC, Marauder's Marauders, Young Bucks and two more, then give the winning faction some sort of prize. Maybe have the remaining 10 teams a 'best of the rest' where they count only the percentage of their best 5 times.

 Trade OfferGumshoes! and Anyone else with a copy of Ryan of approximately the right age. Due to Super League restrictions on deadball pitchers per capita, I have a surplus of Deadball Pitching. Specifically I have 1924 Walter Johnson or 1902 Christy Mathewson. You have 1978 Noylan Ryan. I would like to swap. Why do I want to do this? I'm cruising into a difficult future where I blow the deadball pitcher limit and Smasher says mean things about me. This is not a concern for you as you have no deadballers. This is probably a pretty square deal - both my guys are in the top 10 pitchers of all time (Christy is a bit young though), and Nolan is in the top 10 pitchers of the last 60 years. However, you've got me over a bit of a barrel, so to grease the wheels I can kick in a little something extra: Offer 1: Your pick of one of 1924 Walter Johnson or 1902 Christy Mathewson now and I send your pick of Bill Henry (Relief Pitcher), Robinson Tejeda (Relief pitcher) or any of the relievers in my offer below from my minors after the EC. Offer 2: If you want bullpen assistance now I can sell your pick of 1924 Walter Johnson or 1902 Christy Mathewson and your pick of one of Hasegawa, Shigetoshi 29 (1998 Anaheim Angels, from the Juggernauts, doing great in the Expansion cup with a 1.17 ERA), Phil Coke (1980 Tigers I think, would make a great LOOGYm currently my EC setup guy) or Kim, Byung-Hung 24 (2003 Arizona Diamond-Backs) right now, if you send back 1980 Noylan Ryan and short, short or middle reliever (respectively) of your choice back. Can be anyone, I don't care how bad, I just need a full bullpen for the cup. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Aug 28, 2012 |

Trade Offer 1934 Gabby Hartnett for 1968 Bill Freehan and 2011 Cabrera Archie Goodwin posted:While conventional wisdom dictates that I snap up this offer instantly, Mogul seems to give Ol' Nolan a lot more credit than the sabermetric community. Entirely fair, as I said in the other thread I was mostly doing it to try and manage my deadball pitcher count which is getting out of hand. I will say the Sabremetric community does give Nolan some credit - I did some work trying to predict what stats best predict who is going to make a good BM2013 pitcher. My observation would be that what BM thinks are the best pitchers in a super league environment is similar to the list of pitchers who've posted the best game scores ever, and pitchers who don't do as well in the super league as they might (Maddux who is one of the top 5 pitchers of the last 60 years) don't rank nearly as highly on that game score list. Nolan ranks very highly on that list, but so does Walter Johnson. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Aug 29, 2012 |

Either side has the option at the end of the expansion cup to trade 1934 Hartnett and 2002 Schilling for 1977 Reuschel and 1930 Hartnett. Edit: Fixed the dates to be the correct deal as discussed in IRC. If anyone wishes to enforce the wording of the orginal deal... I keep Reuschel yeah.

Smasher, the Cultists have the Goose Eggs 1st round pick A question: With the EC cup, is the prize awarded in addition to, or instead of, your first round pick? I wrote a long, complex post with strategies, but it's pretty pointless. Basically out the back of the EC Cup and draft I need, in approximate order of priority: A good starting pitcher so I can fire ray collins out of a cannon Schmidt or Ron Santo - if Ron will fall to my 2nd round pick (or a sandwhich pick if I happen to get one), get him then instead obviously A good backup catcher who will make a real difference over rob Barajas Bullpen guys times lots A LF guy who will make an impact. The things that might impact that: If I get to the cup I'm gonna take Randy Johnson, Juan Marchial or Willie Mays. If I get one of the two pitchers, I don't need another starter, and if I get Willie Mays, I don't need a left fielder. If I get the sandwich pick, it means I want to pick up a backup catcher in the 1st round. With the bullpen thing, if a great LF (I'm thinking Chuck Klein or better to complete the cubification of the cultists) falls to my 2nd round pick grab them, but otherwise let it ride.

It might be worth cranking up the pitchouts slider as well against the Neo-Doppel-Bangers. You've got a bunch of control pitchers that can probably afford to be behind in the count. Plus it's not like the Neo-Doppel-Bangers are gonna smash it out of the park.

Factional Warfare We'd just like to take up the handicapping option proposed by Factoralite, but with a twist. Each of our teams nominates three players from a team in the opposing faction. The team designed picks one of the three players, and that player plays for the Superstars faction for the season. To prevent boning rotations completely, each list must include a pitcher and a position player. At the end of the season - and before the gauntlet, the player is returned to their original team.

That is extremely frustrating. vvv: Eh, what can you do. Larry Walker is batting right handed. Nothing is assured. We'll get them next time gadget. Revised Super League Draft Preferences First round: 1st pick: Snag a I-Rod or better catcher. 2nd pick: Santo unless Santo will fall to my second pick in which case grab a pitcher. If I win the pick 'em 2nd pick: Best pitcher available 3rd pick: Grab Santo or any better 3B guy unless Santo will fall to my second pick in which case grab a LF. 2nd Round: If I need Santo get him here, otherwise BPA with a focus on relief 3rd Round: BPA with a focus on relief Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Sep 13, 2012 |
