The broken bones posted:I took over the worst franchises in Dimaggio. The highest rated PROJECTED player was 80. And yet I still have 10 more players on my 40-man than you. If it makes you feel any better, check out the S18-20 threads as I slowly discovered how badly my franchise had been run by the previous guy. My crop of inherited prospects were basically - Rigo Nunez, who I traded in a salary dump to uublog and went unsigned the first year his contract was up - Bill Smith, who's been kicking around as a fourth/fifth starter in Tampa Bay/IOWA - Lewis Stammen, S30 all star and two-time eligible Cy Young comedy option vote

Scrotos posted:Someone tell WIS to add reverse drafts to the first round, 1st player to miss the playoffs drafts first. HBD becomes way way better. Not at all. I got recruited into a prog league that drafted like this, and surprise surprise the open franchise was completely, like 10 games worse than the next worst team, hopeless and nothing could change it. .

Paul Donovan wins the head-to-head comparison with Damaso Lee for "which old-rear end rental 3B did better for me before I called up Nate Floyd" so he's cool in my book.

If anyone's interested in trading a long reliever for one of my setup guys, Rubby James taking over for Larry Haynes as SP5 means I could use one.

I don't think my full trade history would be really interesting, but two fun potential trade paths to go through: - Marty Jordan (traded to AV who traded him murphy who traded him to nasboat who traded him to Art who traded him to scrotos) - Anibal Beltre (traded to nasboat who traded him to atheistdeals who traded him to Jeff who traded him to arthur who lost him in FA to tatankatonk)

Your Season 31 Salem Saberhagens: Lineup: RF Gill Hooper - The Experience put up his career-best slugging season in S30 and hopefully he can continue it; ridiculous RC numbers compared to the rest of the lineup 1B Vladimir Thompson - Since S24, he's hit 50+ dingers in all but one season, that season being S25 where he OPS'd over 1.000 while still hitting 45. 3B/2B(?) Nate Floyd - The Geraldo Fernandez of the Salem lineup, solid but overshadowed. Ideally playing 2B this season. LF Slim Green - Did so poorly in the playoffs that he went from not willing to re-sign to willing to re-sign for $4.6m/1 year. Third in qualifying RC27 among Saberhagens batters in franchise history (behind The Experience and Thompson) CF Alex Ransom - Had a career-best season after two career worst seasons back to back in S28/S29. Ending up in the middle would still be amazing production from CF. C Vinny Stewart - The Saberhagens have PC again! Shayne Kearns' bat will be missed, but I've always wanted Vinny and thought it was worth rolling the dice. 3B Everett Sierra - Sierra should be a COF, but when I was getting sick of Chris Harper toward the end of last season he handled like 20 games filling in just fine. There is a contingency plan, though. SS Gerardo Sanchez - RIP to his range, but who else is going to play SS, Eugene Porcello? He's won both a golden glove and a silver slugger before, and that's cool. Bench: 2B T.J. Miller - Co-star of HBO's Silicon Valley and here to stem the bleeding if Everett Sierra at 3B is a disaster. C Tom Smith - Backup C, primary pinch hitter if Sierra's starting, Vinny Stewart's Buddy RF Ernest Bates - It's getting to the end of my window to compete and he's an upgrade as a backup, call that sucker up. 3B Blaine Anderson - See: Ernest Bates. C De Aza Iglesias - Defensive C specialist to annoy AV and otherwise do nothing. Rotation: SP Chick Wehner - Reigning Cy Young winner, all-time ERA leader, holds basically all franchise rate stat records SP Geraldo Fernandez - The Willie Aquino of the rotation, consistent and solid compared to the two hit-or-miss guys behind him SP Yoo-Nah Kim - Tends to have an ERA of like 6.00 or like 2.00 in the first 30ish games and middles out from there. SP Lewis Stammen - Rose from the ashes in S30 to make his first ASG. Holds a lot of counting stat franchise records for pitchers. SP Rubby James - Here's your shot buddy! The last real call-up of the Salem prospect buildup before the team started getting old. Bullpen: SuA Todd Hutchinson - Appears in like 80 games every season and pitches really well over them, probably friends or rivals with Bo Chamberlain, 10-season Saberhagen SuA Willie Aquino - A bullpen fixture who's been with Salem for 8 seasons as SuA, possibly the Nate Floyd of the bullpen SuA Junior Rosa - Somehow an older Willie Aquino who did an admirable job last season SuA Alejandro Javier - I've never seen this guy before looking around in FA in the offseason, but he looks like he should be pretty good SuB Frank Hara - I kinda want to trade him to arthur so he can complete the NL West roster bingo. SuB Rigo Galvez - The spirit of Rigo Nunez lives on in the third-best Rigo I've had (Rigo Colon in like S21 mashed before falling off a cliff somewhere else) SuB Corey Parrish - Outside of Rubby James, he's the only guy under 31 in the entire pitching staff.

Atheistdeals.com posted:How many times have you traded for the same player? Cause I just realized this is the third time I've acquired Brian Brown. Hopefully he has a OPS above .700 this time. I Rule V drafted Joel Conway in S20 and S21 and signed him as a FA in S27.

Everett Sierra, third baseman: hitting .261/.308/.652 but also committing 4 errors in the last two games, I feel like I'm gonna be waffling on that all season. btw if someone has an attractive 3B rental and wants Blaine Anderson or Ernest Bates, I'm definitely listening.

Honestly, I have easy narratives for the next few seasons: S32: Bounceback/Redemption S33: Ocean's Eleven-style One Last Score (Gill Hooper, Vladimir Thompson, Nate Floyd, Todd Hutchinson, Gerardo Sanchez, Vinny Stewart, and Lewis Stammen's contracts expire) S34: Oh God What Do I Do Now/Rebuilding E: Giving Stewart/Stammen two more years probably isn't a great idea because they're old as hell but I have no worthwhile pieces to move and it's not like I'm going to get much better, plus I've had Stammen since taking over this franchise~ Power of Pecota fucked around with this message at 19:51 on May 10, 2015 |

AlleyViper posted:Not mine. I'd just like to add that even though Salem got a first overall pick, I inherited like one ML-quality player in Reggie Russell and held on to him until he was a husk of his former self and traded him for a ML pitcher, despite getting an offer from AV in like S18-19. I didn't jettison any better player than like, Virgil Cook during my rebuild.
