I like your use of the 1991 Astros, Koop, a lot of good young names there, and maybe we can incorporate them into the final product. That said, I hate your pitching. My offering, with help from CVE: St. Paul Bearers 1919 "Black" Sox (4) 1967 Red Sox (3) 2012 Nattinals (3) C 19 Ray Schalk/ 12 Wilson Ramos (not a strength, but Schalk is a Hall guy with great defense) 1B 67 Carl Yazstremski/ 67 George Scott (Yaz! and Scott can also play 3B) 2B 19 Eddie Collins/ 67 Mike Andrews (Collins is amazing, Andrews has utility) SS 67 Rico Petrocelli/ 12 Ian Desmond (Solid, not spectacular) 3B 12 Ryan Zimmerman (good quality dude) LF 19 Shoeless Joe Jackson (great average, really sets the table) CF 67 Reggie Smith/ 19 Happy Felsch (Reggie is young but great, Felsch got banned from baseball but had a strong career) RF 12 Bryce Harper/ 67 Tony Conigliaro (wunderkind, hope he rolls well; Tony is just a 5th OF) SP 12 Stevie Strasburg SP 19 Eddie Cicotte SP 19 Red Faber SP 12 Jordan Zimmerman/ 12 Gio Gonzalez (whoever rolls better - other is long reliever) SP 67 Lee Stange CL 12 Tyler Clippard SU 12 Sean Burnett SR 67 Sparky Lyle (lefty killer) SR 67 Dan Osinski MR 12 Edwin Jackson (born in Germany, CVE!)

OK, compromise proposal for the St. Paul Bearers. Let's try to make youth a happy surprise rather than something we rely on. 2009 Cardinals (4) 1967 Red Sox (3) 1934 White Sox (1) 1943 Cubs (1) 1991 Astros (1) C 09 Yadi Molina C 91 Craig Biggio (Solid defense and OK hitting, or maybe Biggio is an ace in the hole) 1B 09 Albert Pujols 1B 43 Cavvy Cavaretta 1B 91 Jeff Bagwell (Pujols is amazing, Cavvy is a solid backup, and 23 yo Bagwell is a lottery ticket 3 years from an MVP) 2B 43 Eddie Stanky 2B 67 Mike Andrews (rookie Stanky isn't Eddie Collins, but he's got great patience - Andrews an OK backup) SS 34 Luke Appling SS 67 Rico Petrocelli (Appling's in the Hall for good reason, Rico's a very good backup) 3B 43 Stan Hack 3B 09 David Freese (Solid) LF 67 Yaz LF 09 Matt Holliday (Need to find a way to play both at once) CF 67 Reggie Smith CF 91 Kenny Lofton (Reggie's still young, but still great, Lofton's really young but acceptable as 4th OF) RF 34 Al Simmons RF 43 Bill Nicholson (Al's in the Hall of Fame, Nicholson was an MVP candidate in the early 40s) One thing we could do to maximize offense without going DH is Pujols at 3B, Yaz at 1B, and Holliday in left. SP 34 Ted Lyons SP 09 Chris Carpenter SP 09 Adam Wainwright SP 43 Claude Passeau SP 43 Paul Derringer SP 67 Lee Stange SP 91 Curt Schilling (if he rolls well) Bullpen: 09 Ryan Franklin 09 Trever Miller 09 Jason Motte 67 Sparky Lyle 67 Dan Osinski 43 Lon Warneke Not 25, but there's some decisions to be made. Lineup is very good and has excellent keystones, rotation is a mixture, but mostly guys who had long careers and can be relied upon to not be Stephen Strasburg (78/95) sorts.

Because Biggio hits like poo poo in the Super League, and Eddie Stanky, while he has no power at all, had a career .410 on-base %, and better defense. But we can give Bigs a try, sure. We should also put Mays back out there and try young Schilling instead of Doyle Alexander. Smasher, will a personal catcher order use Biggio as backstop for that battery and slot Oberkfell/Stankey in at 2B? Otherwise Ted Simmons will explode. I do have this '75 Darrell Porter I can't currently use....

kw0134 posted:The St Paul Bearers, as a fail-safe, put in a default draft preference of BPA, BPA, BPA until I can get some semblance of functionality from the other owners. I'm always here, man. We absolutely need another starting pitcher. He doesn't need to be a world-beater, but we need to replace Doyle Alexander, and Schilling is too young to rely on him rolling well again. If we can get two, that would mean we could go in with Marichal/Perry/DP1/Lyons/DP2 and use Passeau and Warneke as LR/backups. Beyond that, we need another catcher if we're going to stick Biggio at second. Simmons is fine, though, so we just need a backup. I'd be fine with anyone down to Burgess on the draft list - but we can probably trade some spare parts for someone. '79 Keith Hernandez to Polyarny for Victor Martinez, maybe. Don't have to blow a pick that way. Otherwise, honestly, we're in pretty drat good shape. I'm not thrilled with McCovey's performance, but considering a younger version is the top-rated 1B, what can we do, yanno? I'd rather have Foxx or Eddie Murray, personally. We're not likely to get improvements where we're drafting at SS/3B/LF. Maybe if Berkman/Klein/Kaline falls to us in RF, but our extant Bobby Bonds would be OK. We could use a super-utility guy better than Ken Oberkfell - Red Schoendienst or Tony Lazzeri would fill that role, off the top of my head. Absent further conversation, I'd say we should probably go Round 1: SP Round 2: Foxx/Klein/Berkman/Murray/Schoendienst/Lazzeri Round 3: Foxx/Klein/Berkman/Murray/Schoendienst/Lazzeri/SP With the understanding that if we get one of the first four in the 2nd round, we move on to utility guy in the 3rd. I certainly like some of those pitchers over others, but I don't want to get into that here.

Since The Paris Polyarny proposed a trade along the lines you suggested, I would concur if you will. Somewhat shockingly, we managed to get people together in IRC to put together the following, slightly modified, lists: (Forever and Bruiser were terrified by Ted Simmons' defense) Round 1: Mordecai Brown/Carlton/Ford/Berra/'98 I-Rod/Foxx/Kaat Round 2: (the above, but only one catcher total) + Berkman/Klein/Cronin/Schoendienst/Murray/'01 I-Rod Round 3: (the above, but only draft one C/RF/IF) + RP Jeff Montgomery or better/SP I, too, approve of the Hernandez-Martinez trade.

We also have two copies of Ken Oberkfell (79 and 86), if any of you need a utility infielder with good patience. Can play 2B/3B well, and SS in a pinch.

 I'd like to move Dennis Martinez to fifth starter, Schilling to fourth, Todd Worrell to setup, and Luke Appling back to starting SS. If we actually got Chris Young, he should be long man, in lieu of Warneke. Send down Gene Garber; DL Passeau. As to draft preferences, I suggest Josh Hamilton in the first (Willie Mays is imploding, unlike in the Expansion), and a starting pitcher in the second round. (I expect enough SP will go ahead of us as to make it not worth drafting a fifth starter in that spot, but a bottom-rotation guy in the second would suit, probably ~Tiant/Hoyt). Send down McDowell to get his control under control, Crowder to the rotation, LaMarr Hoyt came up as a reliever, and shall be my 7th inning guy now. Draft Preferences 1st Round: LF Rickey or better Cap'n Jetes SP Clifton Phifer Lee or better 2nd Round [first pick]: (the above) SP Dock Ellis or Better 2nd Round [second pick]: RP Eck-Betancourt (no Bob Johnson) SS Cronin/Furcal BPA

Just a note that my roster moves, draft picks and some talking points for the Bearer owners are immediately above the update. I will add that since Schilling is also disintegrating, we might want to just double up on starters and chuck Dale Murphy out into center. I'm disappointed in Kiner; he's had a depressed average since we started operations, but the power to make up for it isn't really there. Which of my passel of spare corner outfielders can play left best?

Given our rising (plummeting?) draft position, it now behooves us to go SP in both rounds, starting whoever we get immediately in 4th and 5th slots. We also need to platoon Lofton and Murphy in center, start Appling at SS, and use Worrell at setup. Dennis Martinez is a patch for the injured Passeau.

Oh, yes, so glad the Bearers are finding their feet just as I lose All-Star Eddie Collins. Blargh. Yobin Rount, truly, it is density. Collins and Porter to the DL, call up Sandy Alomar Jr to be Leonard's personal catcher, call up Yount for SS, Polanco to 2B. Re: my bullpen, maybe, but it's surprisingly hard to find the tempo to replace them. Timlin's been money before now, and Boomer just needs to not gently caress up in low leverage.

Goddammit, Yobin. Rount back to the bench, put in Don Diego de la Money at short. gently caress. At least Eddie Collins comes back in a week or so. Swap Messersmith and Greinke in the rotation, too. If Feller has to go, then I'll live with that.

Smasher Dynamo posted:Burma Imperialists Fine, you big bully. Put Eddie Collins back at second and start Matt Williams at short. Entertaining offers for shortstops with a pulse; I can pay in corner outfielders, mostly. Please don't offer me org filler. I'm looking forward to the All-Star series! oldskool posted:drat it Bearers, I want that Craig Biggio, one of your slack-jawed owners show up and deal him to me. Why are we trading you our starting second baseman? You have LaJoie there? I'm not sure he can play catcher full-time anymore if that's your plan.

oldskool posted:Lajoie's a deadballer, which means his defense is godawful. I can jam him at first base and put Biggio at second and greatly improve my defense with essentially a lateral move offensively because Rusty Staub's playing 1B due to a bunch of injuries I never bothered to re-update my lineup for after they concluded. Interesting. Well, if you think Mathews is worth anything (I don't know his year), why not put him at third and Pujols at first? That would improve your defense as well, and wouldn't sap your power so much. I see Mathews was hurt, but I suppose that's past now.
