Okay I'll get you a logo asap and I'll have to tweak my roster very slightly because I have a player on it twice and I doubt I'll start the year with Kenny Rogers.

I should be ashamed of myself for trying to use Stairs as anything but a pinch hitter. It is who he is. Thanks!

The Merry Marauder posted:It depends on the pitcher, but unless they have some relief experience, you don't want them pitching in the 7-8-9 role, because they are stretched out to pitch on several days rest for innings at a time, not one inning for a few games a week. Mogul is not kind to tired pitchers. I was thinking I might put 1980 Dave Palmer as my long reliever because my bullpen is very very bad. E: I'm picking 4th overall right now, if anyone in the spots below me want to move up a bit, I'd be willing to move down a few slots for bullpen help!

If anyone is in need of some defense, I have 1970 Brooks Robinson, 1970 Davey Johnson and 1980 Andre Dawson available. I could use upgrades in the bullpen or maybe an on-base machine outfielder. Obviously good hitting SS and 3B aren't easy to come by, but I could also use one of those. And picks. I also want picks. DannoMack fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Aug 11, 2013 |

I'm also willing to to add something (like another of my picks?) if it means getting a very good pitcher. If I'm not getting a pitcher good enough to bump Tim Hudson from 5th starter into the bullpen then I won't move the pick for pitching. I could use help in the OF if not at P because as it stands Matt Stairs has a legit shot at starting against RHP for me... My bullpen is a disaster (Jason Isringhausen as closer) so I can't really offer up any bullpen help to sweeten a deal.

After all that, the LLLs take a guy I'm sure none of you were going to use the pick on... Ken Griffey Jr. '06. He seems to have had some pretty good SL years at age 36 and I can't have Ty Cobb AND Rogers Hornsby on the team.

I have a pile of OF depth if anyone needs to stock up on platoon or bench OFers. I have 1980 Andre Dawson, 1980 Tim Raines (Who was still a 2B prospect at the time if you're really desperate for a 2B...), 1980 Ellis Valentine, 1999 Matt Stairs, 1970 Merv Rettenmund, and 1970 Don Buford (another guy who technically played 2B/3B that season too). If you're in a pinch for a backup C I could move one of 1999 Ramon Hernandez or 1970 Elrod Hendricks, too. I can also move 1970 Davey Johnson for anyone who needs a good defensive 2B. Obviously no SL stars, but I'm looking for late picks or relief pitchers, not asking for a lot.

Pander posted:Sure are. After the draft ends, you can put any players under your control/in your feeders to make your 30-man roster. I'll probably be adding a few guys I didn't put in my EC roster on my SL roster. Sweet! I'm a dummy and just realised I could un-check "only show qualified players" on BR, so there were a few hidden gems who might be worth taking flyers on. Pander posted:I made a roster spreadsheet for my team on gdocs that's viewable. I did one of these in excel yesterday and my girlfriend got so mad at how much time I was spending colour-coding each player's name with his feeder team's uniform that she changed all their names to things like "peen" and "butthole69" when I wasn't looking. She made Frank Robinson into "Vagina Breath"  .

That reminds me of something I was wondering. I've never used BBM before and was wondering about the ratings system. I see young guys have numbers like (78/94) next to their names when I go back and look at rosters. I assume the first number is current skill and the next one is potential. Can guys reach that potential in-season or is that just a number that they could reach if we were to play this as a franchise for a few consecutive seasons?

Before I post my final roster, I thought I'd post these two two guys left on my feeders: OF/1B '70 Don Baylor - 21 year old power and speed who you could probably platoon effectively 3B '99 Eric Chavez - 21 year old on base dude who plays great D. Another good platoon option In case anyone thinks they could use them and wants to trade me picks or a minor league SP option better than Kevin Appier for one of them. I also have a pile of 1990s relievers for desperate bullpen situations, and a Matt Stairs. Because having a Matt Stairs can never be a bad thing.

Smasher Dynamo posted:So if I start carving out exceptions to that rule, I increase the risk of owners making bad decisions, and that's not good for anyone. And yeah, that means that there's a chance that Gary Carter will blow out his knee and then Elrod Hendricks gets hit by a car, and then Ramon Hernandez falls into the Springfield Mystery Spot, and you'll be left without a catcher, and that would suck. Then again, a) that's not very likely and b) setting up exceptions like that sets a bad precedent. This all make sense and I guess I'll take your word for it and stop fretting about my 4th string catcher situation anymore! If I have to. I guess. Humph. As for CF, 2000 Garret Anderson played most of his games in centre that year and the year before so I thought he might be okay. I figured Tim Raines had enough range to cover it in a pinch, and I thought Valentine's speed and all-time great throwing arm might translate okay to emergency CF duties. It doesn't matter though, because Griffey is going to be just fine out there. You'll see!!! Monicro posted:Hey, I tried this too with my first team.
