Savouring this, as it may be the only update I'm in first/above .500/with hope of survival. Still, there are changes to be made. Bring up Chipper, replacing Pendleton. New line-up: 2B Ray Durham CF Al Oliver 3B Home Run Baker 1B Frank Thomas LF David Justice (against RHP)/Oscar Gamble (against LHP) RF Oscar Gamble (against RHP)/Magglio Ordóñez (against LHP) SS Roger Peckinpaugh C Jim Sundberg <pitcher> If the DHs stay: Thomas to DH, McGriff to 1B batting fifth. Pitching stays as is, and will continue to do so until Greg Maddux's arm falls off. As well as Peckinpaugh has started, I don't foresee it being sustainable, so I'm still looking for an SS, but it's not quite the priority it was. Edit: Roster post updated here.

The Peckinpaugh bubble has predictably burst. In a big way. But it's alright, not like he's the only viable shortstop on my roster or anything...  : Bwahaha! I'm untouchable!Sod off, Roger. Anyway, to business. Chipper Jones and Steve Avery replace Terry Pendleton and Mark Buehrle on the 25. Avery just takes the fifth slot in the rotation; my pitching is otherwise unchanged. Since the game is telling me Thomas needs a rest, McGriff starts at 1B for the first week of the month only. Gamble isn't doing so hot at the minute, forcing some roster switching, as follows: 2B Ray Durham CF Al Oliver 3B Home Run Baker (Chipper Jones during the injury) 1B Frank Thomas (Fred McGriff for the first week) LF David Justice RF Magglio Ordóñez C Jim Sundberg (vs RHP)/Javy López (vs LHP) SS Roger Peckinpaugh <pitcher> I'm seriously considering batting the pitcher eighth.

There's no getting around it – I have huge holes at SS, CF and RF. Now ordinarily, I would turn to the dispersal draft for help, but looking up and down the Expansion Cup rosters, it seems SS and CF are pretty universal problems for this round of teams. This leaves me with three options: 1) Get to the Expansion Cup Finals for the bonus pick (not going to happen, even if I am currently .500 against the Postmodernists); 2) Tank enough that a decent SS/CF is still on the board (a stupid idea, and I'd probably accidentally make my team better without achieving point 1); or 3) Trade out to someone who can find better value in the draft than I can, in return for filling one of the above mentioned holes, which is the way I'm currently leaning. Also, Cthulhu, you're completely right, so have the pitcher bat eighth in both lineups. Ginge fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Aug 22, 2012 |

I don't know... I know Mogul's ratings should be taken with a dollop of salt, but the fact that both Joosts are rated lower than Peckinpaugh (whose awfulness is the biggest personality trait my team has) doesn't inspire confidence that one of them would be worth a first-round pick. I'm not saying no yet, just that I need more convincing.

mrnoun posted:Eddie Joost's peak, from 1947 to 1952: .248/.386/.407, a .793 OPS. He drew nearly as many walks during those six years as Peckinpaugh drew during his entire 17-year career. Oh, I know Joost is an upgrade on Peckinpaugh, it was the "worth a first rounder" I was wavering on. Which you're right, he probably isn't.

The 'Dreamers monthly records so far: 16-12, 16-11, 16-11. That's some rather nice consistency there, and I hope it continues. Only one change this month: Ordóñez takes over full time at RF from Gamble, who is probably the biggest disappointment on my team. Yup, that means another month of Peckinpaugh.

'Tis a fantastic day for the people of Barrow-in-Furness! Roger Peckinpaugh shall plague us no longer! Irn Bru and Jaffa Cakes for everyone! Yount (who for the benefit of tatankatonk is of '85 vintage) replaces Peckinpaugh on the 25, obviously. New lineups: vs RHP: 2B Ray Durham SS Robin Yount 3B Home Run Baker 1B Frank Thomas LF David Justice RF Magglio Ordóñez CF Al Oliver C Jim Sundberg <pitcher> vs LHP: SS Robin Yount 2B Ray Durham 3B Home Run Baker 1B Frank Thomas LF David Justice RF Magglio Ordóñez CF Al Oliver C Jim Sundberg <pitcher> Also, make López Fergie Jenkins' personal catcher. Meanwhile, at the AAA affiliate in cold Stenhousemuir: : I'm sure you'll be back playing me soon enough...

Monthly record update: 16-11, 16-12, 16-11, 17-9, 16-12. I'm not really sure whether that consistency is a good thing or not. Anyway, one roster move: Flip Ordóñez and Yount in both lineups. Also, by my reckoning, Maddux will be pitching the very last game of the season. If by then the division has been decided (either in favour of myself or the Gumshoes), Dazzy Vance will take that start, with Maddux going to the bullpen.

Barrow Daydreamers Smasher, the Bangers have my second round pick. 22-4? Against the hardest month in my schedule? Sweeps against the two best teams in my subleague? Yeah, I can definitely say I didn't see this coming. Call up Klesko for the injured Stanton. Playoff pitching: SP1: Greg Maddux SP2: John Smoltz SP3: Tom Glavine SP4: Fergie Jenkins MU: Steve Avery CL: Jim Kern SU: Keith Foulke SR: Mike Wohlers MR: Greg McMichael MR: Ed Farmer LR: Dazzy Vance Lineup stays as it is, because, well, why change something that's just done that? Only exception: If I have López as a personal catcher (I can't remember), then make him stop doing that. I want Sundberg behind the plate for all games this series. Also, make my cut-off throws slider +3 for this series only. Edit: VVV You're right. Pitchouts to +3 as well, please. Ginge fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Sep 10, 2012 |

Yeah, you go Adam Dunn! Going to give Glavine and Smoltz one or two more weeks to prove they shouldn't be gazumped by Jenkins/Vance/Shawkey in the rotation, although I get the feeling that Vance should probably already be in there.

Oh, how I wish Jon Matlack being this fantastic was sustainable. Still nice to see, though. Yount, on the other hand, needs to stop putting up Peckinpaugh-esque numbers, or else I'll have to waste even more depth/risk a challenge to fill in at SS. I see Burgess needs some rest. Have Sundberg start at catcher for the Unspecifieds series, batting eighth. Upon the conclusion of the series, revert the lineup to its current form. Oh, and knock my pitching through trouble slider down to +3.

Daydreamers I'm going to reject both offers for Smoltz, if only because trading a starter for another starter doesn't really seem like it will get me very far. One change to make this week: Swap Yount and Durham in the lineup, since I may as well ride Durham while he's performing above expectations.

Rough week, but that was to be expected against the Bangers and Gumshoes (who I'm now 7-18 against lifetime. Yay for terrible matchups). Still, I'm .500, which I'd be very happy (and surprised!) to stay at for a while. He'll sulk about it, but Dunn gets replaced by Justice in the right-handed lineup. Justice was really good for me in the EC, not sure why I messed with that really. As for Vance, I'm not massively concerned yet, as a large part of his stats are skewed by two terrible long relief outings. I'm willing to give him more time. I only have my second rounder due to the Burgess trade with the Landers. My preference is 3B if any of the first three miraculously drop; otherwise SP. One more thing - have Sundberg be Glavine's personal catcher.
