 The Super-League is about baseball. And robots. And robots who play baseball. Also, there's a plague that only kills Eddie Collins. And the most iconic franchise still around is based in Bolton, which I'm told is a quasi-mythical hamlet located in England. Clearly, after 20 seasons, it's fair to say that the Super-League has become an entirely reasonable place, with a complete lack of nonsense. You might be wondering if you need to know anything about baseball. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BASEBALL TO SUCCEED! Knowing about baseball definitely won't hurt, but the Super-League is a place where the worst thing you can do is think that you have everything figured out. My recommendation is to give it a try. I have no doubt that building your first team and trying to navigate it through the Super-League will be like trying to fight a hurricane. But you'll get used to it eventually. People eventually get used to trying to fight a hurricane, right? Helpful Resources The Super-League, like many baseball fantasy leagues before it, is a game of numbers and stats. When you’re using players from at any point in the last century, it’s vital to have resources to see how good they will do. To that end, we have two major sources of stats you can pour over. Baseball Reference - This one is a no-brainer. Baseball Reference houses stats of all sorts of uselessness from all the way back to the heydays of Cy Young (also known as the 1890s). Fair warning is that guys with incomplete careers and mid WW2 careers don't do as well in Mogul sims. (The former because Mogul likes having a complete career to use as projection, the latter because most true greats were killing Nazi's during the War years, and the ball's quality was lowered due to wartime supply priorities.) This is the place where you can check out your inevitable feeder teams. Of course, the historical data can only go so far in a modern simulation, which brings us to… Super-League Reference - Here it is. The absolute, must-have bookmark to be consulting when it comes to every player you find. Super-League reference was compiled in a joint effort by Mr. Cool Ice and Cthulhu Dreams, and uses the saves from Super-League IV and onward to paint a picture of that player’s performance in the Super-League. This is important since the Super-League, using the best of the best players from all of baseball history, is a marked degree above even the most talent-filled seasons of baseball. And some classically great all-time players, like Bob Feller and Willie Mays, just don’t do well in a Super-League environment. Again, use this. This, in combination with knowing which stats are important, will keep your head above water, even if you’re nowhere near the level of baseball historian that Commissar Dynamo is. The Basics of Baseball by tatankatonk Ok, so even the dumbest/foreign goon knows the basics of baseball. Hell, you know the lyrics to Take Me Out to the Ballgame by heart, and that's half the rules right there. There's pitchers, there's position players (first, second, third base, shortstop, outfielders, catchers), and there's pitchers (starting and relief). Three strikes is an out, three outs is an inning, nine innings and a game is over, unless there's a tie in which case it goes a few more and everyone leaves the stadium early. Anyway, what you should come away with from this is the following: Baseball, more than any other sport in the world, is a game of numbers. Every single thing that happens on the field is recorded and converted into statistics that professional analysts come up with to determine a player's performance. This isn't basketball, where blocks (a vital defensive stat) weren't recorded until the mid-70s. There's records of the game going all the way back to when Ty Cobb was assaulting fans, and even farther than that. Your job, as a Superleague owner, is to learn what all these numbers mean, and how to look at them in a way that can instantly tell you what you need to know about a player. So, What Stats Are Useful, Anyhow? If you know nothing about baseball, then you will be shocked by how many stats that are tracked that are absolutely worthless in the grand scheme of thing. There is only a handful of stats you need to evaluate the quality of a player, and this small area will give you a rundown on the biggest ones to consider. In somewhat arbitrary order of usefulness: On-Base + Slugging Percentage (OPS+): The go-to stat that your eyes should drift to first when it concerns batters. Era and season-adjusted, with average for that season being a flat ‘100’. If you find a guy who had a 115 OPS+, then he was 15% better at generating runs than the average joe that year. Combine that with the fact that he might be at a scarce position (see “Positional Scarcity” below), and you’ll be cooking with a run-generating machine in no time. Earned Run Average + (ERA+): The same thing as OPS+, but for Pitchers. 115 ERA+ means he was 15% than the average pitcher that season. Generally speaking, having good pitchers is more important than having good hitters ! Many teams get relegated not because they don’t have huge dudes who can hit the ball and score runs, but because their own pitching gets lit up and destroyed over the course of the season because they forgot to focus on it. Try to focus on pitching before hitting! Defensive Wins Above Replacement (dWAR): Let’s get this out of the way: There is no real great stat to measure a player’s defensive ability. The best we have is dWAR, which measures whether a guy is worth keeping in the field compared to a replacement player. This value can go into the negatives, meaning that some players are such bad players that they will give up plays with their bad ball-handling. If you rely on groundball or deadball-era pitchers, you will absolutely get destroyed if you have bad fielders. Generally speaking, Catcher, Center Field, and the middle infield positions (Second Base, Shortstop, Third Base) are the ones where you want to place defense over offense. Batting Average, On-Base Percentage, and Slugging Percentage (BA, OBP, SLG): Here are the base stats for offensive prowess for batters. Batting Average is how often you can hit the ball, On-Base Percentage is like Batting Average, but also factors in walks. (seriously, you don’t know what a walk is? Ok, a pitcher has to throw his pitches in an area next to the batter called the strike zone for it to count as a strike, or the batter has to swing at it. If he pitches and it's not in the strike zone, it's a ball. You pitch four balls, and the guy walks to first automatically.) and SLG is how far you can hit the ball on average when you hit it. Generally speaking, a .350+ OBP and a .400+ SLG are probably the minimum for Super-League caliber players, but you don’t necessarily need to have both. Walks + Hits Per Innings Pitched (WHIP): Is what it says, how many combined hits plus walks a pitcher gives up each inning he’s in play. This is a good estimate of how ‘wild’ your pitcher is, and whether he ends up keeping control of the ball or he shoots a 100 MPH fastball with no regard for where it lands. Wild guys are bad because wild guys lead to more walks, which lead to more runs, which leads to more games lost. 1.000 WHIP are elite, and 1.300+ WHIP guys are probably too wild to consider, even despite their pedigree. Isolated Discipline (IsoD): This one you won’t find on either of the reference sites, but is decently important, as it describes a batter’s ‘Batting Eye’, his ability to identify pitches and whether he should be taking a swing at them. You get this one by calculating OBP - BA. .070 is generally considered the bare minimum for a good player who doesn’t just whiff at every pitch over the plate. .150 and you’ve got a guy with an elite eye. Hits, Home Runs, Walks, and Strikeouts Per 9 Innings (H/9, HR/9, BB/9, SO/9): Miscellaneous, yet important stats to tell you how your pitcher pitches and what he can be expected to do during a game. Fireball pitchers have huge SO/9 rates, but at the expense of being either really wild (higher BB/9) or giving up big hits (higher HR/9). As a general rule of thumb, unless a guy is really, really good, you want to look for the lowest BB/9 above all others, because Super-League pitchers are forced to face Super-League hitters, who are especially good at drawing walks. Age: Young guys are wild, and old guys fall apart at the seams. You don’t want to pick up a 40-year-old Gaylord Perry and hope he can hold down your rotation. Generally speaking, 24-34 is a nice age range for considered players. Younger than 24, they’re probably a little wild; 35 and older, you’re playing with geriatric fire, which is more like a dying ember. Emphasis on DYING. SMASHER'S NOTE: I want to make this super-clear: Baseball Mogul, the engine the Super-League uses, doesn't work like WhatifSports or OOTP Baseball. It gives players ratings based on both how old they are and how good a career they had overall! For example, if you think you're going to game the system by taking 1996 Brady Anderson (who had one of the great fluke seasons in history), you are going to be sorely disappointed, because he's not going to hit 50 home runs, he's going to hit like he did in every other season around that fluke season! Plate Appearances/Innings Pitched: No one likes small sample sizes. A guy may seem amazing until you realize he only played one game that season. These stats basically serve as a reality check that the guy you never heard of who is really good is only good because he literally batted once or pitched one game. PAs are for batters, and IPs are for Pitchers. Innings Pitched also gives you a decent idea of a pitcher’s stamina. If he can pitch a consistent 300-400 innings of baseball (on bbref, that is. Most SL-starters don’t pitch more than about 250 innings), then chances are he can go the distance. Mogul doesn't like players with short careers either, which is something to keep in mind. Or incomplete careers. So Miguel Cabrera is not the God of Triple Crowns in Mogul, despite what he's projected to do, since he's still got a ways to go. Positional Scarcity Now, you are probably thinking that some positions are a little harder to find good players for than others, and you’d be right! Certain positions are harder to field than others, and baseball comes with an established hierarchy: 1. Catcher 2. Shortstop 3. Second Baseman 4. Center Fielder 5. Third Baseman 6. Right Fielder 7. Left Fielder 8. First Baseman So finding good 3rd basemen and center fielders is hard, great Catchers and Shortstops practically impossible, and halfway decent corner outfielders and first basemen a dime a dozen. In fact, looking for a First Baseman or Corner Outfielder, you should be looking for 130 or better OPS+, as it’s so easy to stick bat first, glove-second guys here that you need an especially good hitter there. Team Building Tips and Tricks: A team-building tutorial would essentially drive the word count of this guide through the roof. However, there are some handy hints to know. -Look to low-point teams first. Low-point teams will usually have one or two good guys and a load of spare parts, but might also have a great player hidden in the rubble of bad teams. Plus, it’s best to start at the bottom, since most people will be starting at the top. -Remember positional scarcity! Look for Catchers, Second Basemen, and Shortstops before loading up on First Basemen and Corner OFs. -A good player with useful teammates is better than a very good player with no teammates. Picking up a whole team for one guy is a raw deal, even for the lowest of low-point teams. Try to find guys who are at least competent in other positions that you can situationally field to go with that legendary player you’re picking up. -Finding an all-time great player on a low-point team is what you should be striving for. The Super League is comprised of some of the greatest baseball players of the last hundred years. There are teams stacked with top-notch talent that even the most baseball-clueless goon will vaguely recognize. If you don’t have to settle for a good-but-not-great player, don’t. Your goal is to be the best. -Make sure you have a modern bullpen. Super-League bullpens are a crapshoot by nature, but having a modern reliever staff means they’re actually suited to bullpen work, since before 1950, nearly all teams were just sticking their worst starters in the bullpen, and graduating their best relievers to starter duty. -Make sure your players' skills complement each other. Have a good assortment of on-base guys, power hitters, defensive vs offensive guys, and pitchers who can play to that. You have good hitters? Look for groundball pitching! -Save points for pitching, because someone's probably grabbing that 1-point Christy Mathewson before you can. -Don't ignore your bench, because you’re going to need them to at least hit a couple times over the season. -Too young is better than too old. -Don't let one gaping hole in your lineup bug you, as long as it's at a lower difficulty position like LF or 1B. -Don't trade high-round Dispersal Draft picks for anything less than a Ted Williams. -Don't rush to trade before you've seen your team play. -Always always always double check your feeders! There might be a great player who only pitched a couple innings languishing on that team, or a future great who’s just a year or two shy of true competency on their bench. Don’t just pick the starters from your feeders! Season Structure By Smasher Dynamo Deep Breath! Expansion Cup All new teams go through the Expansion Cup, which runs through the second-half of the Super-League season at an accelerated rate (each update is one month rather than one week). This is where new teams go to try and figure out what works and what doesn't in a relatively low-stress environment. If your team doesn't do well, that's probably not so bad, because you'll get higher dispersal draft picks, and that's good! Expansion Cup Playoffs The Expansion Cup is traditionally divided into two divisions based on whether the new team uses the DH or not. After the EC is over, the winner of each division faces off for a chance to win the Expansion Cup and with it, an amazing prize! (Nature of prize: TBD). The winners of the two divisions also get to start their first season in the Super-League, the higher division, while the rest of the EC teams end up in the Sub-Par League, which, as you can guess from its name, is the lower division. Dispersal Draft Held in the offseason, the Dispersal Draft is where teams have a chance to pick the carcasses of relegated teams for useful parts. The draft pool is usually made of players from the rosters of 4-6 teams that were relegated the Gauntlet (see below). The first three rounds of picks go only to the EC Team Owners, who pick in descending order of finish in the EC (that is, the team who did worse in the EC picks first in each round, and so on.) The fourth and fifth rounds use a lottery system to assign pick order, and have picks given out to both new and returning teams. Super-League The Show! The Super-League is the higher division of Super-League Baseball, and features 24 teams playing 26 weeks of games to determine who is best at fantasy fantasy baseball. There are six divisions with four teams each, organized into two leagues (DH and no-DH), each with twelve teams. At the end of 26 weeks, the division winners and two wildcards from each league advance to the playoffs. The bottom team in each division get demoted to the Sub-Par League after the season. Sub-Par League Not the Show! The Sub-Par League is the lower division of Super-League Baseball, and has been outsourced to McFreeze. It has a variable number of teams depending on how many teams are in the EC, but it's usually 16 or 18 teams divided into four divisions in two leagues (DH and no-DH.) The season lasts 26 weeks, and at the end, the division winners (no wildcards!) advance to the playoffs. Everyone who doesn't win the division, though, is subject to the Gauntlet. Super-Draft In the middle of the season, teams will have a chance to fortify their rosters through the Super-Draft, which lasts for three rounds, and has a draft pool made up of players from relegated teams not already used in the Dispersal Draft. The first and third rounds have picks for the Sub-Par League teams, while the Super-League teams pick in the second round. Playoffs Both the Super-League and Sub-Par League feature playoffs. In the Sub-Par League, there are four teams, who play in two rounds of playoffs to determine the Sub-Par League Champion. Just by making the Sub-Par League Playoffs, the teams have already qualified for next season's Super-League, but by winning the Sub-Par League Championship, the winning team gets to pick what division they'll be placed in the next season, which can, in theory, let them pick an easier division. Traditionally, McFreeze has streamed the Sub-Par League Finals live on a stream. In the Super-League, the two wildcard teams from each league play each other in a one-game playoff. That leaves eight teams, who go through the League Division, League Championship, and Super-League Final rounds to determine the Super-League winner. Whoever the champion is then has the right to challenge the Macho Men in a bid to prove that they are the greatest team in Super-League history. When they inevitably fail at that task, they are destroyed, and their owner must build a new team out of leftover feeder teams for the next Super-League. Gauntlet There comes a time every season when you need to clear away the brush, and that's where the Gauntlet comes in. In the first round of the Gauntlet, the four worst teams in that season's Sub-Par League are forced to play a 40-game mini-season. The two teams that fare the worst are relegated, that is to say, forever killed. The two remaining teams then must play the two Sub-Par League teams with the next-worst records, and play 40 more games, after which the bottom two teams are eliminated once again. And that continues until such time as McFreeze and I decide that no further culling is needed. Tag Team Tournament There's also a tag team tournament. I'd give more explanation, but it's either about to start, or has already started in the main thread, so check it out there to get a sense of how it works. In Closing: Have Fun, And Don’t Give Up! That's a lot of words, but none of them really matter. The Super-League is about the journey, not the destination, because, let's be honest, the end of every great team is being smashed out of existence by the Macho Men. Yeah, there are a fair number of rules, and it's a bit confusing, but you can also ask questions in IRC or this thread or the main thread if you need to know something. So relax, give it a try, and, hey, what's the worst that could happen? New Team Form Fill out Now This needs to be done to secure a spot in the Super-League Teams Selected: Pick eleven points worth of teams (twelve points for people who have never owned a Super-League team before), spread out over as many teams as you'd like.

After the Mooglies, the Mooglies again, the London Calling, the Mooglies a third time, the Rated R Superstars, and The Goog Day all failed spectacularly, it would be fair to wonder if I might give up the ghost and abandon my hopes of Super League success.

Hi! I'm going to be running the EC this time around. If you're a returning owner, I imagine you don't have any questions. But if you're new, please feel free to PM/ask in IRC. All the other owners are cool and happy to help give advice. Some of them are going to tray and trade for your draft picks. Be SUPER careful about trading draft picks; they're by far the most valuable commodity you have.

Oh, I should also add: the purpose of the EC is to figure out what makes your team tick, where your needs are, etc. Thus: 1.) Every team will need to use the DH. I figure being able to get data for 9 batters is better than getting data for 8. 2.) I am turning off injuries (or at least turning frequency and severity WAY down to the point that you're not going to have your best dudes explode in week 2 never to return

Hey Smasher and also prospective owners: I screwed up when I made the feeders list: the 1888 Brooklyn Bridegrooms link accidentally goes to the 1901 Baltimore Orioles (which are also a 2 point feeder team). Both teams are supposed to be feeders; the error is in the link, not in the listing. The link should go here: http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BRO/1888.shtml

Also Bob Elliott didn't play in 1959; perhaps you meant 1949? Though he doesn't have the best history in the SL anyway. Yeah, 1949. Elliott's actually pretty good, just doesn't have much history. Don't trust SLRef's war, because it's based partly on dwar, which is fundamentally broken in the super league due to pitcher/stadium configurations.

Alright, here's my third team, at long last featuring Babe Ruth! Now, after last season's sponsorship by the fine folks at Origin Con, I'm no longer welcome in the state of Ohio, apparently for "making living there even more of a Kafkaesque nightmare than usual". Fortunately, my hometown of Boston has a convention I can use to continue this largely-pointless tabletop gaming gimmick. Unfortunately, when I asked around for advice on teams to choose, I made the mistake of asking someone in steampunk gear. So much for my infield defense, but I've got plenty of offense.
