Revenant Threshold posted:

While I have SS and 2B, I don't really have them at depth, so all I could really offer you is Heinie Peitz. But he has an amusing name and position coverage, and is still probably an upgrade for you. In CF terms (or corner, whatever) I have a young Dusty Baker and George Hendrick avaliable. I do have better avaliable trade stuff, but I want Sergio Romo from you, and he's not really worth a vast amount more. I could probably offer you a SP/RP to take up his bench place along with the deal.

Don't really like any of those enough, so I'll just hold onto Romo.

You think I don't know that Uggla is a terrible DH? It's just that I don't have anyone better. It ain't like Millar's going to do any better there. This is what happens when a new owner picks feeders at a level slightly above random and tries to make a team; something so horrifically bad that it's probably getting destroyed in the rookie division.

Listen, when someone puts Uggla at DH, that isn't just that person's problem, that is the league's problem, because it shows a complete lack of respect for me, a complete lack of respect for the league, and a complete lack of respect for yourself. And if you want me to respect you, you have to respect yourself first.


Nah, just kidding. Relax. It's really hard to make a team for the first time, and it's been that way for a while. Hell, it's hard to make a good team in general, and the real point of these previews to show teams where they are weak, not just for this season, but so if their team gets relegated, that they have a better idea of what went wrong.

But that doesn't help you much, so I'll fix that by solving your DH problem. Lowell goes to 3B, Jones goes to DH.

Well, that's actually a pretty good solution.

Hey, while I'm giving some free advice, I recommend moving Caminiti to the bench. He's better than the dregs you've got there at the moment. Also, if and when Greg Vaughn flames out, you might consider moving Pujols to LF and Caminiti to 1B. Just a couple of thoughts.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?





Sweet zombie jesus that hitting is not looking good. I'm going to try one more week with this lineup, but if I don't see some better results soon I'm gonna have to blow everything up.

Also, is Vaughn's only hit seriously his home run? Because that's incredibly sad if so.

Llama's win, all other champs retain (no unification)


If even I don't believe in my llamas, how can I expect anyone else to?

Holy poo poo we won? That surprises me. On the writeup; my original thought was that I was a llama who somehow inherited a baseball team; but a proxy war with a Russian corporation is way better than that, so roll with it. On actual baseball terms,
Move Lincecum down to fifth in the rotation (Cain takes his place at fourth)
Jesus my relievers are doing amazingly somehow, but I don't expect that to last.
On the hitting side of things; I don't really know what to do with my lineup. Vaughn and Chipper are the biggest issues; I was really just hoping Vaughn hit around .220, but this is what I feared. Chipper's been a real disappointment so far; I don't expect any real power at his age, but he could at least give me a .250 OPS. Well, lets see how some (probably ill advised) platoons go. New lineups are (non-DH are the same with the pitcher in the DH's spot)

VS RHP
SS Bobby Wallace
2B Luis Castillo
CF Willie Mays
LF Albert Pujols
RF Carlos Beltran
3B Mike Lowell
1B Ken Caminiti
C Brian McCann
DH Chipper Jones

Vs LHP

SS Bobby Wallace
2B Luis Castillo
CF Willie Mays
LF Albert Pujols
RF Carlos Beltran
3B Mike Lowell
1B Ken Caminiti
C Bengie Molina
DH Greg Vaughn




Edit: wait poo poo, no I don't want a LF at 2B. Thanks Smasher. Apparently the fourth beer was a bad choice tonight.

Pick 'em

All champs retain. Especially the Llamas. Also, Smasher, dude, Vaughn isn't so bad that you have to mention him every time. I mean, come on; there's so much about my team to make fun of.

Greg Vaughn was good! He hit 50 homers in a season once!

The way he's playing this season, he may hit 50



They'd be his only 50 hits, but still.
