Is the integration booster really "first for each team?"

Because "first black players in MLB" is a separate list, and includes Paige and Mays, whereas "first for each team" doesn't.

It says first black players for each team and that's what it means.

Trip report: buying groceries with Cthulhu

He went straight the produce section and started carefully squeezing and inspecting all the fruits and vegetables.

There were several that looked perfectly edible and delicious, and strong candidates for a nice fruit salad.

"This strawberry bunch has one tiny one with a brown leaf," he said. Then he went over to the apples.
"This lovely apple has a small bruise on it," he said. Then he went over to the kiwis.
"This kiwi lacks the proper scrotal shape," he said. Then he went over to the watermelons.
"This watermelon has a weird seed:flesh ratio," he said. Then he went over to the frozen aisle.
"All the best fruits and vegetables are already gone, and I refuse to have a flawed product," he said. Then he bought whatever godawful frozen pizza for one they sell in Australia.

"I hate this gross pizza," he said. "Maybe next time there will be the proper fruits and vegetables that allow me to participate in the community."
Then like 4 other people came in and made nice fruit salads out of the very same rejects.

I don't know where we're getting four more people from.

More importantly, how the gently caress did Cthulhu assess the seed/flesh ratio of a watermelon without opening it up?

Cthulhu Dreams: Dec 11, 2010; If I pretend to be Cthulhu no one will know I'm a baseball robot.

Ironically I managed a fruit and veg Department for 7 years (I have a long service certificate lol). Smaller watermelons generally have less seeds per pound I reckon.

Onto the topic - What about 11 points for the 6 point feeder but extended to all playoff games + ~~the all star games~~? Unsurprisingly you have awesome 'hit dingers' guys but your infield is a bad trainwreck particularly the bench and the starting pitching is weak.

Edit: to TFLama's point below If you think the team is actually not value, another option would be to add the all star games and lose the first round EC draft pick/prize support.

having checked it, I'm relatively certain that said team would be worse than what he could make just actually picking feeders so I'm really not sure why cthulhu would even want to do this, outside of being "fun" I guess

Another option would be to just use the feeders as is and not try to suggest different feeder options than what is in the list. If you can't make a sufficient team based on what is available, you're probably just looking at the wrong feeders.

It is true that you can considering I did a project for an hour last night to see what could be made out of the remaining feeders. Definitely has some holes but also has some very bright spots as well.

Besides, didn't Cthulhu cajole into reclassifying one of the feeders for Trump Baseball into being a 2 point instead of 3 point or somesuch? Only to watch it crash and burn anyway?

If you are in the Super League to WIN, you are doing it wrong. Nobody wins. Well, one team wins. But their prize is death once they face the Macho Men. The Super League is about fun and weird baseball poo poo, creative writing, and talking poo poo to fellow owners even while not being that successful yourself*

Just make a loving team, Cthulhu.

(Also I'm working on one of my HS friends to join. Seems interested, less so in having to be on SA in TYOOL 2017.)
