So folks, bad news, during the off season reeducation program there was a containment breach.

^ I was gonna offer Larry Jackson, who is 8-2 with an ERA of 3.82, and has historically posted an ERA+ of 100 and 94 for me, so that rates to be usable - certainly over the course of three seasons he has been above league average (this one), exactly league average (last season) and below league average (season before). That's perfectly usable for an SP4-5 in the SL. Given that he literally has no SP, a middle reliever for an SP 4-5 is hardly the worst deal you'd ever make. The Merry Marauder posted:
This is good advice - he is a good RP who can anchor your bullpen or trade him to me. I can offer a back of the rotation starter or something Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Sep 20, 2014 |

You could also consider using that Max Carey on the 1919 Pirates. He has had some success in the SL. Assenmacher was my best bullpen arm on my last team (kinda unexpectedly). That is he was... until the gauntlet when he decided he did not want to pitch anymore. Can someone remind me of the current trade policy? No trades between leagues right now until after the season is done, right? Best I could offer you for that Assenmacher would be a 35 year old Joe McGinnity. Not sure that would be worth it to you though.

Thanks guys. Apparently Assenmacher didn't qualify for rate stats on bbr so when I sorted by ERA+ I didn't see him. The biggest problem I have with my pitchers is that I have old as poo poo former aces dead ballers or guys that would fit in best as 3s or 4s. e: finally had time to actually look at the SL reference.

johnfw50 posted:Awesome. What exactly is that? I know it means dispersal draft. But how exactly does that work? After the Expansion Cup (which basically determines draft picks, gives you insight in how your team performs and if you're really good rewards you with instant promotion to the SL skipping the Sub-par League altogether) there will be the Dispersal Draft. The Draft pool is generated from the losers of the gauntlet in which almost every team that didn't get promoted from the Sub-Par League to the SL fights for survival. Those that fall victim first will make up the draftpool for the DD. It goes on for 4 rounds (in which each of you draft a player one after each other starting with the inverse standings of the EC. To reward good performances, the one to win the EC usually gets a secret price as well) and at least the first two rounds are usually filled with top talent at almost every position. Naturally owners will try to scam you out of those picks so think twice before you accept any trade involving a pick of yours.

JosefStalinator posted:Any suggestions on my bargain bin team? I know the RP's are pretty awful, but I don't really know what I should change to improve this team. You need to take a closer look at the '83 Braves, both for bullpen and bats: -Bob Horner could hit the gently caress out of the ball. A guy who could consistently crack 30 HRs with under 80 Ks in the mid-80s is worth a look, even if he'll probably have injury troubles. -Brett Butler is young, but grew into a legit leadoff man, and probably deserves consideration. -Brook Jacoby is a competent 3B with midrange power, but you've already got that spot covered, so he's probably not worth rostering. -Bedrosian, Forster, Moore, and Garber all were legit closers at some point in their careers, and will probably help you more than random deadballers in your bullpen. Bedrosian would win a Cy Young Award as a closer, Forster once led the league in saves, and Garber and Moore both cracked 30 saves in their peak years. Nothing else really leaps out at me, but you have so many feeders it's hard to sift through them all.

JosefStalinator posted:Any suggestions on my bargain bin team? I know the RP's are pretty awful, but I don't really know what I should change to improve this team. The 1905 Cardinals have Kid Nichols, who has been a fairly useful starting pitcher in the past. He's kind of old but he should be better than a good chunk of your rotation. The 1941 White Sox have THE Thornton Lee, who could also be a good #5 pitcher. The 1973 Braves have Ron Reed, who was really good as a reliever. If you use him in the bullpen you'll get some good value out of him. Don't have him start though. I'd start Babe Herman at first over Bissonette; Del doesn't have a long enough career for Mogul to like him. There's an old Max Carey on the same Robins team who could be useful if you use him on the bench only. Other than that and what everyone else mentioned, just get starting pitchers in the draft.

If you're not going to roster Dizzy Trout, I will trade you for him. Same with rookie Hal Newhouser. And you should have Charlie Gehringer on your roster, he's a top-notch 2B. Source: Tigers employee and standard-bearer of the Olde English D here in the Super-League/Sub-par-League.

Guess I'm a bit curious how progression works. Obviously Newhouser would be on the team if it were one of the WW2 teams, but in 1940 he's just a 19 year old kid. Does future performance have a big effect on performance in BBM?

Does future performance have a big effect on performance in BBM? It absolutely does, yeah. Just guesstimating I'd say the way it takes into account full career vs particular year is like 70/30, and even then the particular year just means the age, their performance is basically irrelevant. On a related note Mogul tends to not like active young guys for this reason since they don't have a real-life career arc to draw from.

Does future performance have a big effect on performance in BBM? It does have a fair amount of impact. Mogul tends to look at both how players did in the short-term and long-term. For example, if it was a player like Norm Cash, who had that one really good (cork-fueled) year, but was mostly just okay, he'll end up being just okay, even if you had the version of him from his one great year. As far as that Newhouser goes, he's a risk. He won't be as good as he is in his prime, and his ratings will reflect that. He'll be erratic, but should improve over the course of a season. Of course, as far as how good he'll start off, and whether you can afford to give him the time to mature, that's an entirely different question. In general, the Super-League has a somewhat steep learning curve, a lot of which is just due to the fact that you're in direct competition with people who are simply better versed in the ins and outs of the Super-League.
