Okay, I think I'll take a shot at this.

I'd like the 2007 Reds for 1 point, the 2003 Mariners for 3 points, the 1986 Red Sox for 4 points and the 1910 Tigers for 3 points. That should be 11.

Home Stadium: Clancy Field (Military-themed Great American Ballpark from Cincinnati, OH)

Sliders: I got to figure those out still.

Can I trade players from my team with the established teams now, Smasher?

Ordius: I want Ty Cobb. If you're interested in trading, what are you looking for? I have some great starting pitching (I don't think Oil Can Boyd is gonna pan out for you and I don't know what your backup plan is...), and whatever else might tickle your fancy. Let me know.

Ty Cobb is one of the best hitters of all time. You're going to have to blow me away.

If I'm being optimistic, I'm looking for a modern pitcher to replace a deadballer, a comparative top CF and a cherry on top, so.

Cobb can go for that Doug Fister, Mickey Mantle, and... Roger Maris.

Don't you already have a poo poo-ton of outfielders on your roster? I'm giving away two of my best in this deal, plus a decent pitcher, when you could just pull from your feeders and have a competent outfield. I'd want something more from this. If I'm giving up both Mantle and Maris, then I want Sam Crawford thrown in, along with Tom Seaver.

I need to think this over. I'm not sure about losing Crawford for Maris, even though I've got a smaller ballpark and Maris has more power.

I need pitching of all types. I have a boatload of hitting. I've got Adam Dunn from 2007 before he hit his career low, I've got Edgar Martinez with an OPS+ of 141 and a career OPS+ of 147, I've got John Olerud (unless I win the auction bid, in which case Martinez and Olerud are gone) with a career OPS+ of 129. I've got rookie Joey Votto, I've got the Saint of Bellhorn. I've got Jim Rice, Hall of Famer LF with an OPS+ of 137 and Dwight Evans, All-Star RF with an OPS+ of 131 and a multiple Gold Glove winner. Mike Greenwell, with a career BA over 300 and a career OPS+ of 121. Seriously. LOTS of hitting. Just tell me what you're interested in.

Seems like a fortuitous overlap. I'm interested in most of those guys, honestly, so let's do a few swaps?

e: I think I'd prioritize Evans/Rice/Votto, because Big Donkey Dunn isn't quite a fit for my team, sadly, and I'm not using a DH. 2003 Gar Martinez in the field might be optimistic.

I'm interested in LaRoche. The availability of Evans and Votto are currently tied up in an auction bid, but I still have Rice available.

Fine with LaRoche for Evans.

Okay, let's trade.

The Splinter Cells jettison the services of Mr. Dwight Evans and approve the contract buyout of Mr. LaRoche.

I'm interested in Bellhorn and Rice, what years are they? I've got a lot of pitching to offer, I'd be willing to offer a #4 or #5 guy for Bellhorn, and obviously a lot more pieces for Rice.

Saint Bellhorn is from 2003 Cincinnati, and Jim Rice is of the 1986 Boston Red Sox. I don't know if I'm gonna move Rice, though. I'd need a new LF plus some pitching to do so, since he is now my starter out there. Bellhorn would require a new backup infielder plus an arm.

Ordius, can you post your roster with the years next to your players?

Very well. Cabrera to 1st Base, Guillen to 3rd Base, Donie Bush to Shortstop. I had a go with Cabrera at 3rd, but apparently it hasn't worked out.

Also, please allow Mr. Mullin to take the 5th spot in the rotation, and bring up Oil Can Boyd to the Long Relief position. Thanks.

Is it possible to get my defensive stats posted? I only have the batting and pitching stats, and I'd like to see how the old timers are doing in the field, as well as how Ichiro is handling left field.

Oh, also. Could you put in JJ Putz in Shiggy's spot, and put Oil Can Boyd in long relief, and move George Mullin to Boddicker's spot in the rotation? I had requested these changes last update, but it seems as if they weren't made.

While losing hamilton isn't exactly "optimal", the news that the expansion gauntlet isn't happening at least means that I have free liscense to experiment!

New Lineup v. both:

RF Reggie Jackson
1B Don Mincher
C Mike Napoli
3b Adrian Beltre
2B Michael Young
LF Nelson Cruz
CF Ken Berry (until Monday gets back, then put him in)
P
SS Elvis Andrus

Aparicio is demoted to AAA to call up Andrus.

As for pitching - Neftali Feliz and Alexei Ogando temporarily move to the 4 and 5 slots, with Wood/John going to middle relief.

On the trade front, I'm still looking for an Outfielder or Shortstop of the competent variety, if anyone has one they are willing to part with.

I have Jim Rice (92) and Mike Greenwell (91/96) that are both Left Fielders. What would you consider parting with?

Not particularly, but Mike Adams and that injured Josh Hamilton would.

Edit: Cthulhu just conned factorialite out of his best two pitchers, do you really want to trade with him?

I'm not super interested in trading Hamilton. Expansion cup results aren't what i'm going for here!

Am willing to put up Adams if the deal is right, though.

Sorry, then. I'm not giving up a HoF-caliber LF for just a bullpen arm.

Well what's why I was offering an SP in the first place :v:

You offered Wilbur Wood. That doesn't quite cut it for proven SL performer Jim Rice. The only reason I'm not using him is because Ichiro fits better with my leadoff strategy.
