I'm gonna get defensive for a little bit and argue '50 Andy Seminick is a much better catcher than '85 Darrell Porter. 288/.400/.524 for a .925 OPS/143 OPS+ as a catcher? Yes please. That line blows Porter out of the water and certainly overcomes whatever defensive gaps there may or may not be between the two. Also is younger and not a cocaine addict.

As for the 24/30 teams, I'm fine with either.

Question 1

I want my team...

B. To be remembered.


Question 2

The core of a successful Super-League team is...

C. Its owner's cunning


Question 3

Your team is middling. But, if you take a certain risk, it may become a contender, or may be relegated after the season. If you do nothing, your team will probably survive, but certainly won't win a championship. Do you...

A. Take the risk! Death of glory!


Question 4

Is Marauder evil?


C. Nietzsche wrote of a society that grow decrepit as its morals and ethics lose meaning the light of technological and societal progress. These values, in this new age, tie down mankind and prevent its progress. Even worse, their decay leads to nihilism and the loss of all values. In such a situation, it is imperative on a great person to rise above the herd and their conceptions of 'good' and 'evil' to assert new values to form the foundation of a new society. Marauder merely wishes to save the Super-League from such a dreary fate, even if he is branded 'evil' by the decaying culture he seeks to transform.


Question 5

The thesis of Moneyball is that it is incumbent on ballclubs to forever seek out market inefficiencies in order to give their team the best return on investment. What is the greatest market inefficiency in the Super-League today?

C. Relievers. While relief pitching is hard to predict, it is not impossible to predict, and performs an essential role in a league where the hitting in supercharged.


Question 6

My team sucks. What the gently caress went wrong?

A. I hosed up.


Question 7

The best player of all time was...

E. Sir Barrold Bonds


Question 8

My ideal castle is...

D. Inside a mountain, mostly hidden from view and wholly impregnable for any would wish to take it from me.


Question 9

The biggest Hall of Fame Snub is...

A. The Rain Man


Question 10

The best sci-fi franchise is...

B. Star Wars


Question 11

Should Chicago forgive Steve Bartman?

D. Should blame Alex Gonzales instead


Question 12

If the Sun is one, and the Moon is two, then what is the Earth?

E. The square root of negative one.


Question 13

Will the new season of Community suck?

E. Who gives a poo poo?


Question 14

Out of all of the idiotic characters Smasher has created, the one I'd want most on my team is...

B. "The Chosen" Dunn


Question 15

What was the point of this?

D. Smasher's got to know exactly how much lunacy the lot of you can tolerate.


Bonus Essay Question


You are John Constitution. The year is 2687 and the world is once again in crisis. The raiders of New Dakota have stolen the Master Infosphere of Third Milwaukee. With the city only five days away from crashing into Lake Huron-Michigan, it is up to you to retrieve the Infosphere.

Making matters worse, one raider captured in the attack has revealed that he and his associates were working for Cardinal Severn, the sovereign lord of NeoCanada. Clearly, by destroying Milwaukee he hopes that the passes of Sault Ste. Marie will be left unguarded and his robo-legions will easily be able invade and occupy the entire region.

To the best of your knowledge, the raiders are currently making their way across the rad plains of Iowa, inhabited solely by commutants, a vicious breed of degenerates who have adopted Marxism in order to cope with the harsh realities of living in such a blasted land.

What do you do? What do you do?

For the purposes of this question, assume that your Hover-Mazda has been fully repaired after the Rockford incident.

Hey DOOP. I feel like experimenting. After I get eliminated from the playoffs in embarrassing fashion, I'll trade my 1995 Barry Larkin for your Ozzie Smith. He has the advantage over Ozzie of not taking 5 years to hit 2 home runs in the majors! And since you're using mostly power pitchers, the defensive downgrade shouldn't hurt you very much.
