The Unspecifieds bring Babe Ruth. Also, a solid but unspectacular infield or an adequate bullpen, but let's be honest, if you want to team up it's because of Ruth.

Also once again looking for a subpar league team to tag team with. My IF is actually pretty good because Ted Williams can DH and I have a Lajoie/old Gehringer platoon at 2B along with a Santo at 3B. I also have an 06 A-Rod for SS that I think will be pretty good and some decent 1B options between Cabrera/Greenberg/McGriff.

I also bring some SP with a young Joss and a few other deadballers plus a Tiant.

Also pretty good at the all important tag team skill of unhinged lunatic raving.

I have an excellent outfield (Ruth, Mantle, Gwynn) and a decent-ish bullpen (it got rated as the top in my division in the preview, not that that's saying much).

The only issue is that my catcher situation isn't wonderful, but there's a high chance that will be fixed in the Super Draft.

Finally, our teams are both in Central America, which means it's probably destiny.

Therefore, we should form a tag team and guarantee our survival.

I propose whoever loses the battle of the Moose needs to change his name from moose to goose.

In the unlikely event that "gooseontheloose" or "mentholgoose" is taken, you will change it from moose to groose.

I vote for chartreuse because chartreuseontheloose would actually be a good name

Carpenter to DL, put Wells into the rotation and that's about it for my pitchers so I guess one of the randomly generated players comes up into the bullpen.

In a semi-related note, I would like to trade for a late first or early second round pick, though my team is pretty bad so I'm not sure what people would want from it.

Pick 'em, champs retain!

I am really hoping I can get a draft pick in before the tag team. I have a spreadsheet here which is up to date roster wise but isn't very accurate lineup wise at the moment. Blackmongoose do you want to take a crack at the lineup or should I? I warn you I am somewhat dumb.

Given our team's performances, you should probably have the first go. I don't have a spreadsheet, but you can get my roster post by looking at my posts (I don't post much).

Also, Unspecifieds draft Addie Joss '03 Insert him as the #1 starter, move Halladay to DL, move everyone else down one spot to fill in.

Monicro is up.

I will sit here hoping for another Lynx WNBA win because if it were not for them Minnesota has not been a champion at anything since 1991... I guess the gophers might have won some college hockey things... but... eh... college...

Not only have none of the four major sports teams been a champion since 1991, none has even been to a championship game. My sympathy for Smasher's list is decidedly limited

Unspecifieds pick 1970 Harmon Killebrew.

Insert Killebrew into the 3B slot in all lineups, send Howard Johnson to AAA

Also, put Morris back in the SP4 slot, Wells back in LR, and Rozema back to AAA.

Either habeasdorkus and the Outsourcers or johnfw50 and the Shardblades are up, I don't know if we're outright skipping the Outsourcers or what.

I don't have a need or want for another Foxx though. I have a prime year Foxx at 1B/C, and he doesn't put up superstar numbers in my park with my players, so doubling down isn't a good idea.

I'm also only looking for Tigers 2B, which is why I mentioned Charlie and Lou.

Also, factorialite never ran a quad Heilmann. He did run a quadFoxx, and Smasher hated him. I do not wish to run afoul of Smasher. Besides, I know all about Heilmann, I'm the first one who gave him playing time in this league. 😊

I have a Whitaker, but I don't really have a backup for him, so I'm not sure there's a deal we could make right now. If I survive the gauntlet and you're still looking though, remind me to try to figure something out

Yeah, I doubt anyone is going to offer an 85-87 version of him any time soon. 25 years old is pretty good. Are you interested in my Lajoie for him? I also have a Robinson Cano, but he's really just a backup.

After doing some research, given my current pitching staff I think I prefer Whitaker's better defense. You'll probably have a good chance to trade for a dispersal draft pick to get him though!
