Koop's construction is kind of scary (a 44 year old Paige? A Viola who's 20 and pitched ~70 ERA+ that year? Yikes.) and I'm not sure I totally trust the '12 Nationals, seems like Mogul takes promising stars and kneecaps them for being young.

OK, compromise proposal for the St. Paul Bearers. Let's try to make youth a happy surprise rather than something we rely on. 2009 Cardinals (4) 1967 Red Sox (3) 1934 White Sox (1) 1943 Cubs (1) 1991 Astros (1) C 09 Yadi Molina C 91 Craig Biggio (Solid defense and OK hitting, or maybe Biggio is an ace in the hole) 1B 09 Albert Pujols 1B 43 Cavvy Cavaretta 1B 91 Jeff Bagwell (Pujols is amazing, Cavvy is a solid backup, and 23 yo Bagwell is a lottery ticket 3 years from an MVP) 2B 43 Eddie Stanky 2B 67 Mike Andrews (rookie Stanky isn't Eddie Collins, but he's got great patience - Andrews an OK backup) SS 34 Luke Appling SS 67 Rico Petrocelli (Appling's in the Hall for good reason, Rico's a very good backup) 3B 43 Stan Hack 3B 09 David Freese (Solid) LF 67 Yaz LF 09 Matt Holliday (Need to find a way to play both at once) CF 67 Reggie Smith CF 91 Kenny Lofton (Reggie's still young, but still great, Lofton's really young but acceptable as 4th OF) RF 34 Al Simmons RF 43 Bill Nicholson (Al's in the Hall of Fame, Nicholson was an MVP candidate in the early 40s) One thing we could do to maximize offense without going DH is Pujols at 3B, Yaz at 1B, and Holliday in left. SP 34 Ted Lyons SP 09 Chris Carpenter SP 09 Adam Wainwright SP 43 Claude Passeau SP 43 Paul Derringer SP 67 Lee Stange SP 91 Curt Schilling (if he rolls well) Bullpen: 09 Ryan Franklin 09 Trever Miller 09 Jason Motte 67 Sparky Lyle 67 Dan Osinski 43 Lon Warneke Not 25, but there's some decisions to be made. Lineup is very good and has excellent keystones, rotation is a mixture, but mostly guys who had long careers and can be relied upon to not be Stephen Strasburg (78/95) sorts.

Ted Sox! The Luna Landers would like to invest in an Edward-heavy portfolio for the upcoming quarter. You have three Edwards you currently aren't using from your feeders: 1917 Big Ed Klepfer 1946 Eddie Yost 1948 Eddie Stanky You look like you could use some help at catcher, which thankfully, is something I can provide. The Landers offer: 1955 Smoky Burgess The Ted Sox offer: 1917 Big Ed Klepfer 1946 Eddie Yost 1948 Eddie Stanky Ryleh Cultists! While an Edward-heavy portfolio is a good indicator for growth in the coming quarter, it's always necessary to diversify, and my financial advisor has recommended hummingbirds from Arkansas as a good low-risk investment. I am also interested in acquiring a Rajah, as I missed out so narrowly in my recent Super Challenge bid for one. You seem to need help at 3rd base, so: The Landers offer: 2004 Nomar Garciaparra 1948 Nellie Fox The Cultists offer: 1930 Rogers Hornsby 1930 Lon Warneke 2003 Mark Grace Madison Mudholes! Johnny Hopp is a Super League legend! Sure, he's gone too commercial these days, and that rap album he released was a travesty, but he *needs* to be in the Super League! If you won't find a spot for him, I will! Also, I like Charles Johnson, and you look like you maybe need a shortstop. The Landers offer: 1970 Jim Fregosi The Mudholes offer: 1943 Johnny Hopp 1996 Charles Johnson

 Trade BaitEXPANSION GMs - WILD DISCOUNTS TO BE HAD: Look, I need relief pitching and have all sorts of crazy crap that isn't even making my 28 man roster. You can exploit the fact I'm Australian and thus know nothing about baseball to offer me dumb stuff. Lou Warnke is a 5 time all star pitcher and isn't even making my starting roster as it stands. I need your relief pitching! This is an opportunity that is closing for both of us, we can trade stuff freely off our feeder team without consuming our 28 man spots, so I can do 2:1 deals or whatever. Any GM: I am prepared to sell Tris Speaker. I would want a super star player in any position in return. Bill James reckons he's the 11th best player of all time, so thing something similar. If Tris Speaker isn't your thing, I have Hall of Fame Centre Fielder Hack Wilson for sale, and more importantly I have Hall of Famer Hack Wilson in the best year he had in a storied career. He posted .356/.454/.723 with an OPS of 1.117(!). Okay he's not babe ruth, but in the same year babe posted 1.225 so we're pretty close. mrnoun posted:
Yeah look, couple of other people have tried to trade me for Hornsby and Foxx. Just to be clear, Hornsby and Foxx are untouchable unless it's for a similar top 10 all time heavy hitter. Like, say, DiMaggio. We could work out something involving Triss Speaker for DiMaggio. However, not to shut things down completely, I'm still interested in support at 3B (though Pinky Higgins isn't totally rubbish), so what else have you got? I'm not interested in Nellie Fox, he's too young, my Backups there are in their prime. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Aug 6, 2012 |

Okay, time for a real content post. Firstly, we have 19 spots, I really don't want to go much above that, so I'm going to cut off new teams tomorrow if the St. Paul Bearers get their team done, which segues nicely to thing number two... St. Paul Bearers Get your team done. Soon. Expansion Cup Divisional Alignments 20 or so teams means two leagues, four divisions: Taggart League (No DH) Skyhawks Memorial Division Archie Goodwins (Archie Goodwin) Barrow Daydreams (gingemidget) Hakata Runnin' Ramen (thened) Poughkeepsie Superbas (nerokerubina) Ted Sox (Moose) Imaginos Division Antarctic Unspecifieds (blackmongoose) Doop's Team (Doop) Postmodernists (NotthatSamBeckett) Second City Saints (Senerio) St. Paul Bearers? (Koop/Bruzer/CVE/BWFC/Viscount Slim/kw0134) McQueen League (DH) Doppels Memorial Division Madison Mudholes (theacox) Norfolk Splinter Cells (Ordius) Portland Bulldogs (Outrunner) Rated R Superstars (The Goog/Senerio/TKBomber/Cthulhu Dreams/Pungry) Ryleh Cultists (Cthulhu Dreams) Johnny Hopp Division Great Googly-Mooglies (The Goog) Idaho Potatoes (grinnblade) Leprechauns (Ionnracht) Oxbridge Mathematicians (Revenant Threshold) Vice City Goose Eggs (Armitage) And now, I'll take a look at the rosters that people have already posted. I don't feel like digging through all of your feeder teams at the moment, so I'll just hit the broad strokes. Senerio Well, at least your team can hit. Sort of. Willie Randolph is very old in 1992, and I'm not sure I'd give him the starting gig. And, for as much as we all love Bellhorn, he's not really a starting-caliber player either. Vidro is pretty terrible at defense too, so this is probably something you'll need to upgrade in the dispersal draft. As for your pitching? It's a real loving problem. Pedro Martinez was old in '05, and he was never very vulnerable, and he's by far the least of your problems. Spahn was 39 in '60, and while he was still pretty good, he's still 39 years old. Lew Burdette is a guy who never struck anyone out, but was so skilled that he was fantastic for a few years, but that's a trick that probably not going to translate into the Super-League. Cone is always dicey, and Pizarro, well, unless Pizarro is possessed by the spirit of his namesake conquistador, and goes on some sort of quest to conquer the Super-League and plunder its riches, I don't see it ending well. Cthulhu Dreams Another team that can hit. I don't love your third base situation, but that seems like something you can work around. I also don't like your outfield, but that's mainly because my preference for outfielders is for power and patience over contact hitters. You do have a thin bench, but that's not really a huge concern. Your pitching staff is good, and would be even better if you rearranged it a bit more sanely ala: SP1 Randy Johnson SP2 Curt Schilling SP3 Joe Wood SP4 Zack Greinke SP5 Eddie Cicotte At the very least, it would make me feel better. As far as old Johnson goes, the Mogul engine has been mixed on how good he'll be. Then again, the Bobbleheads used to put up with '06 Johnson, who was even older, and they survived, so '03 Big Unit shouldn't be too bad. Ionnracht I've got questions about your lineup. Menke at SS seems like it might be a problem, because I don't think he's going to hit in the Super-League. I also don't really like Kevin Mitchell, as he had two great years, and a ton of mediocre ones. I'm not sure that I wouldn't start Jimmy Wynn over Mitchell. Clark and Williams might be better than Rosen and Cepeda, the latter pair being pretty worn down, so monitor that situation. Your pitching is as good as it's reasonably going to get, as long as you accept that Feller can really only be a #5 starter by that point in his career. I do like your bullpen, though. gingemidget Okay, this lineup is going to need some work. First, Baker starts over Pendleton, because Pendleton doesn't have good power, or patience, and was a mediocre contact hitter by '93. You could also try Buddy Bell from the Rangers. I was about to make my next point when I noticed that you hadn't taken Frank Thomas. Take Frank Thomas. Justice is probably better than Klesko. Take Javy Lopez from the '93 Braves as your backup catcher, and be ready to put him in full-time if/when Sundberg's lack of hitting gets to be too much for you. I think I'd rather have Al Oliver over Otis Nixon in center, too. As for your pitching, consider Mark Wohlers and Mike Stanton from the Braves. blackmongoose I love your optimism about Hornsby playing short. Also, if you're taking defensively-suspect second basemen, I'd consider Knoblauch over Boots Grantham. I think Waner can handle center. As for your pitching, Pascual probably deserves to be on their somewhere. Also, prepare for Radke to get rocked. Mooseford Julio Franco wasn't that old in 1993, in fact, he could play 2B, and probably should start over Priddy, who was good defensively, but isn't much of a bat. Or you could use Eddie Stanky from the Braves. Either way, not Priddy. Now, let's have a history lesson, you probably remember the first bit of this, but the rest should be new to you: Spahn and Sain and two days of rain Because Ryan was 46 loving years old in 1993 and had an ERA close to loving 5, and unless we score runs for beating up Robin Ventura He should be in the bullpen And Sain should start for us Outrunner I actually like your team. But I'd consider platooning HoJo and Brosius. Or not using Brosius at all. I think I like Gehringer more than Whitaker too. See if one of them can play third. Vander Meer might be worth a try at some point, as might Tommy Bridges. Nerokerubina You'll have to choose between Cruz and Monday to start in an outfield spot, and that's a lose/lose scenario, but I'm not sure there's anything you can do about. Also, in Aparicio and Campaneris you've got two great fielders and zero even decent hitters. Then again, Marauder won a championship starting Campy, so it's not fatal. Revenant Threshold If you're starting Elbie Fletcher at first, you're doing something wrong. Now, let's unscramble this. Bubba Trammell has no business in the Super-League, and his spot should be filled with young Jermaine Dye or young Johnny Damon. And I'd rather have Mike Sweeney than Jose Canseco, while we're at it. And, hey, since we're having fun, I'd rather have Jay Bell from the Royals play second, or Freddy Sanchez from the Giants. And, you know what, let's keep going at take Buster Posey from the Giants over Tex Erwin. And, also maybe find places for Wilbur Cooper and Max Carey from the Pirates. And you'll want to take Josh Beckett from the Marlins instead of Pavano. theacox Your starting pitching sucks, but you already knew that probably. Carry on.

I just gave up a ton to get DiMaggio. Just how far are you willing to go for him? Tris Speaker was awesome in his day, but in a Super League situation, he doesn't hit a lot of home runs and he doesn't draw a lot of walks, both of which DiMaggio does. In addition, my park is built for right-handed hitters, and Speaker's a lefty. Still, I'd pull the trigger on a big enough offer. As for 3rd base, my starter Nomar is tearing the cover off the ball and I don't really want to move him unless I'm not only getting a star in return, but a star at a position of need. Right now, that means 2nd base (Hornsby) or 1st base (Foxx), which you seem disinclined to do. I'm still willing to talk, but I don't know if we can work anything out at this point.

Before you make this ground-breaking trade, tatankatonk, I'd like to remind you of five very crucial facts. 1. '35 Foxx can't play third. 2. The only other third baseman on your roster is Richie Hebner. 3. You really can't be sure that you're going to win that auction for Miguel Cabrera, and if you don't, then your third baseman, under this trade, will be Richie Hebner. 4. If your starting third baseman is Richie Hebner, then you are going to get relegated. 5. If you are relegated, your obit is going to be the equivalent of 10 pages of me telling you what a bad trade this was.

NotThatSamBeckett posted:'19 Ray Schalk (unused, Rated R Superstars) I'm confident I speak for the Rated R Superstars partnership when I say we can trade Schalk. However we haven't formed a trade position yet, so suggest some stuff. Speaking for the Cultists, I can definately sell Tony Womack - or you might prefer Mike Aviles from the 2009 KCR - got any relievers? If you want a catcher, Miguel Olivo from the 2009 KCR might work as well. I will check my other feeders too. Rated R Superstars Partnership I ported our roster into BM2013 and then pasted some screenies in the Google Doc. This may be useful.

I guess I'll approve so we can get this ball rolling finally. CthuluDreams: What are you looking for in your Hack Wilson? I've got a Greg Maddux, Nomar Garciaparra and other fine pieces you can probably use looking at your roster and trade history. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Aug 6, 2012 |

4/6 owners have approved of Viscounts latest draft (Viscount, Koop, CVE, kw0134). As such the St. Paul Bearers are on their way to bring terror and wrestling puns to the league, hopefully without being buried in cement at the end of the season.
