Replace Jack Lapp with Bengie Molina and have Molina do all the personal catching jobs Lapp had.

To be honest, I have no idea what you consider a fair price for Pete Alexander. However, might as well make an attempt now since I won't be back before the deadline. I will offer John Candelaria, Bucky Walters, and Dwight Evans for Pete Alexander.

Might as well bid on a few of my old charges.

2 ratings challenges for '06 B.J. Ryan

Well let's see here. Since he'd be losing his job to "The Thunder God" anyways, I guess I will up my bid on '66 Frank Robinson to '85 Paul Molitor and '78 Dave Parker

1993 Ellis Burks for '06 BJ Ryan

Smasher, you must have telepathic powers because that is exactly what I would have posted for the obit if I actually did help you do it.

On to business that will actually help my team hopefully. I am in need of a good middle infielder and have Mark McGwire, Frank Howard and Ellis Burks that I am willing to move to acquire this help. Just make an offer and we'll see if we can work something out.

Sorry, between here and IRC I got my wires crossed and forgot to actually reply. Ellis Burks would be my 5th OF at best, so I'm not interested in him. Pull out him and my pick and you've got a deal.

:siren: Incidentally, to anyone else, I am also open to trades from you! I'm looking for infield upgrades and pitching, or of course better/more draft picks. My main trade pieces are catchers, relievers, and MIF & SP depth. Plus of course the current starter at any position you give me an upgrade. Please see my roster and feeders (1932 Reds, 1964 Orioles, 1968 Tigers, 1990 Twins, 2004 Pirates) for reference, plus the following acquisitions: 1911 Larry Gardner, 1934 Odell Hale, 1910 Jim Delahanty, 2001 Andruw Jones, 2001 John Rocker, 1986 Jesse Orosco.

If we can swap out Norm Cash for your second-round pick we have a deal. Otherwise, I'll try my luck elsewhere.

This is probably the worst time to have to rest most of my team, but if I want to survive to Super-League IX I have to rest them before they all get sore. Anyways, the lineup for next week.

2B Nellie Fox
CF Bobbie Murcer
RF Frank Robinson
1B Frank Thomas
LF Joe Medwick
C Terry Steinbeck
SS Alan Trammell
3B Howard Johnson

After last season, I guess I'll wait until Gehringer and Collins get better to rest Trammell. After all, I bet Smasher would say that somehow one of them could field the shortstop position better then Howard Johnson.

While the backups have been doing pretty good for me, I do have to switch some of the starters back in. This will be the new lineup.

I'm most equipped to offer outfield help, but I don't think anyone is totally off-limits. (I'll also point out that while Konerko is at AAA thanks to difficulties against SL pitching, he was an EC All-Star and made it to the HR Derby finals at that event. He could certainly help an EC club looking for an advantage at 1B.)



I would be interested in 1937 Earl Averill and am willing to offer any starter except Pete Alexander and Bert Blyleven.

Also, put Joe Medwick into right field and bench Frank Robinson.

Just when I think I might have the answers to my offensive problems at third base, Rollins decides to completely poo poo the bed. Least I can put Alan Trammell back in which will allow me to have my best lineup, as awful as that might be, on the field for the first time in a month.

Is there a reason that Frank Howard is starting over Frank Robinson.

Also, how do you have this many Franks on your roster?

1.) Because I somehow though that Howard had much better power numbers compared to Robinson then he actually does. I'll change them immediately.

2.) Not sure really, though having Frank Thomas after the draft has helped me somewhat in the offensive department.

Have me wondering what this idea you have for Super-League X involves besides the Skyhawks' apparent return. Seems like I'll need that since even I have to admit I'm not getting the rolls I got on my whole staff three times in the Gauntlet. If the offense can do what it did against the Losers I have a shot, but I've never been able to bet on my offense saving my rear end. Guess I'll swap Jack Morris out of the rotation for Lefty Gomez and hope the over 5 ERA was an aberration due to small sample size.

I know that this isn't the smartest move ever, but I'm going to put Bobby Bonds in centerfield so Jim Edmonds will not get injured due to playing while sore later this season. Times like this make me wish I actually had a backup centerfielder.
