What if what you want is to field a rotation of deadballers and put Derek Jeter at shortstop? I'm sure someone already did that. Hell I put Hughie Jennings (Deadball-Glove) as SS in front of such a rotation with the expected results. Maybe there is a reason I do not have much success.

What if what you want is to field a rotation of deadballers and put Derek Jeter at shortstop? Let me tell you about my team. Its pitching staff currently looks like this:  I own eight copies of Curt Schilling, I am planning to get a ninth during the offseason and will also try to get a tenth if somebody picks the 2000 Phillies. I have gotten so much into trades that people have been begging the other party to just give me the Schilling, lest I snap and throw myself out a window or something. There is no intervention.

So many Schillings that TheMcD lost a Schilling and didn't realize it for half a season.

If a team is needed to make an even number or a right sized expansion class I will throw one together, since I will probably die after this season.

He's got most of a team done, it's just that he's racked trying to find not-absolute-godawful talent to play at 2b/ss with his two remaining points worth of teams, and it's real slim pickings at this point like he was trying to do better than this guy and failing at last notice

Have you checked the middle infields of the worst teams in the sub par? Some of them might make up the draft so you don't have to worry about getting infielders from the feeders!

Cthulhu Dreams posted:IF ONLY THE 3B SITUATION WAS ANY BETTER Listen, I'm going to make this simple, because I think 'going mad' is a bit past tense. You don't need to have every position perfectly filled. In fact, if you see a situation where you can get surplus talent at one position, you can flip that talent via trade to fill the other holes in your roster. As a person whose career, from what I can tell, is based mostly on the capitalist system, one would think that might have occurred to you, but as it evidently hasn't, I feel the need to spell that out, and also additionally note that autarky has generally not been a solid foundation for any modern nation-state*, and it should not be the foundation for your team either. *-I mean, I guess you can quibble and say that the economic woes of the Soviet Union were not due to a lack of trade or foreign investment, and more down to the inefficiencies of communism, but the glaring weakness of 21st Century Russia to fluctuations in the value of oil makes me doubt that proposition.

If you really need infield coverage from cheap feeder teams, the 42 Reds gets you an Eddie Joost and Lonny Frey for 2 points, and even throws in a serviceable Paul Derringer.

You can always go all-defense at a position and punt offense until something better turns up. At least that way he's helping your pitching staff rather than being completely useless at everything.

Okay, enough. Let's take it over to the main thread. Make sure you post your team information, including roster and logo, over there. Attorney at Funk Post your roster so that CraigK stops yelling at me. Cthulhu I'm going to give you until the Dispersal Draft to get your roster together under the theory that you probably don't need the EC to figure out how good your team is.
