Koop's construction is kind of scary (a 44 year old Paige? A Viola who's 20 and pitched ~70 ERA+ that year? Yikes.) and I'm not sure I totally trust the '12 Nationals, seems like Mogul takes promising stars and kneecaps them for being young.

I guess I'll approve so we can get this ball rolling finally. CthuluDreams: What are you looking for in your Hack Wilson? I've got a Greg Maddux, Nomar Garciaparra and other fine pieces you can probably use looking at your roster and trade history. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Aug 6, 2012 |

Just to keep this rolling, I preapprove all of our initial slider choices and stadium dimensions. Aesthetic details such as logo/banner I'd like to see first. (Yes, the important things when running a team.) I suggest we appoint one of the partners to act as GM for day-to-day needs like roster moves in light of injuries. I'd also empower this person to explore trades as opportunity and need arise, with final approval still subject to vote by a proper quorum of partners. For the sake of needless drama, any single partner can object to any move and effectively countermand the GM. I nominate Viscount Slim for this if he's willing, and if he's not I've got free time and I check up on the thread daily anyway. --- Cthulu Dreams: Maddux is vintage 2004. For corner outfielders, I've got lots of pieces: hall of famers Gwynn and Rice, Sammy Sosa and Moises Alou (who has a ridiculous .440 OBP for me this season), and maybe, maybe if you're willing to give up something interesting, Barry Bonds. No relief pitching I'm afraid.

Gingmidget! I have a 2004 Nomar Garciaparra who would be a huge upgrade to you. Unfortunately, he's my backup SS (and 3B) and I'm screwed if something happens to my starter. However, I only need a backup, not a full time replacement, so I'm happy to take from your hands young Chipper Jones who's cooling off in your minors, Dazzy Vance and Steve Bedroisian, both of whom aren't even on the roster. You get a proven, versatile quantity, for the price of a bunch of pieces you will likely never use. It's effectively free for you!

Viscount Slim posted:If the other owners agree, I'd like to offer '79 Keith Hernandez to NotThatSamBeckett, who expressed interest, for, I guess, '86 John Smiley and the Postmodernist second-round Super-Draft (not dispersal) pick? I don't think we need to carry four or five guys who can play first base. He also asked for Biggio, so I would also put forward Hernandez and Biggio for their third round dispersal pick. 71 Dick Dietz would be fine as our backup, and we're in a numbers crunch, to be honest.

Leave it to my team to make a 1* challenge a goddamn slog. Yank Santo for Garciaparra at 3B; slot in Zachary for Mercker at Short Relief, Zambrano should be Long Relief, and we'll let Finley ride in CF until I see Dykstra's stats. Cano/Kent should be a platoon at 2B and Gwynn/Sosa the same at RF, if they are not already. We'll also put in the same Judge/Alou combo for a 1* 1970 Catfish Hunter challenge because I have a feeling this will be a long season.  St Paul Bearers Too early to panic, let's wait a bit. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Sep 24, 2012 |

Rochester Generics Okay, well that's not totally fatal. Let's move Dykstra into CF and see what happens. For the record, Mogul really likes Garciaparra a lot more than young Santo for whatever reason. Who am I to question Mogul's judgment on such matters?

Welcome to the worst employment climate for the legal profession since the government started tracking these stats! (I kid, congratulations!) Rochester Generics Whelp, let's pull Dykstra and put Finley back in. I dunno what else there is to do without risking talent I don't have on challenges I can't win. St. Paul Bearers Let's do the RF platoon and let's ride out the other change for another week, the least of which is because I simply can't muster the energy to figure out if it's a good idea.

Rochester Generics Luque went from dependable to an abomination. Let's drop him into long relief and promote Zambrano. I don't remember the show you associated with my team and watching the linked video only brings relief that it still doesn't ring any bells.

Rochester Generics Only vote for Barry Bonds in LF for the All-Star game but that seems like an uphill battle for representation  Draft Preferences: Round 1: Best of either SS/3B, at least no worse than Cronin in SS or Chipper Jones in 3B. If not, then a catcher no worse than Munson. If not, then a cyanide pill and your best SP. Round 2: As above, but the best pitcher available from either SP or RP.

Trade Bait My Barry Bonds is injured and I'm in the midst of a hot streak. I'd like to, finally, make it into the playoffs or at least a bye to the next season. To that end, I'm offering up Sir Barrold Bonds of 1999 vintage, first pick in his dispersal draft, for comparable greatness. Preference will be in CF, catcher, or pairs of corner outfields. NEW OWNERS! You will get a chance to take him completely healed up and ready to mash taters. There is NO waiting, he is refreshed for you and your expansion cup aspirations if you submit a winning offer.

Mornacale posted:I'm pretty concerned about giving up that much for a dude with a significant injury risk. My roster is a little goofy right now because I want to use the EL to see what I've got; for the real league I expect Hafey to be my everyday LF (and backup CF), and Kaline to at least platoon at 1B in addition to backup up RF. You're particularly underestimating Hafey, I think: he's only 29 in that season, he has an elite contact bat with good power and speed, and he can play okay defense anywhere in the OF (his OVR actually rises a little if you move him to CF). Senerio posted:Better question: Who do you have on your 28 man that you can't justify ancient Eddie Mathews as a backup hand on third?
