Smasher Dynamo: Oct 16, 2008; ~~Eternal~~ Commissioner of the Super League. A new avatar. A new age, of the same old embittered Smasher that failed to escape the bonds of the SL, FM3, Johnny Hopp and Eri Yoshida "The Knuckle Princess". "The flames of Smasher's ire scorch the skies... Igniting St. Bellhorn's funeral pyre."

Words are hard!

Listen, the words below will tell you a little about the Super-League and what it is and how it works. I encourage you to read them. But I know that today's reader on the go doesn't have time for lots of words, and so I'll give you my own pitch for the Super-League: You should join because it's fun. And doing fun things is fun.

There, greatest sales pitch of all time.

The Super-League and You: A Helpful Starter Guide:
_{original work by Tatankatonk, ToiletOfSadness, mrnoun, and Smasher Dynamo

foreword by Monathin}

So you�ve stumbled in here bleary-eyed, confused, and maybe a little overwhelmed. Welcome to the Super-League!

What is the Super-League? It�s basically a fantasy baseball league, done through Baseball Mogul 2013. That doesn�t tell the whole story, though. Inside you can find Mark Grace in a quest to obtain a gyro, the saga of a maniacal man whose teams hold an iron grip over the Super-League, the riches-to-rags-to-riches-back-to-rags story of the Luna Landers/Galactic Wanderers/New World Symphony, people who make extraordinarily bad challenges and gamble their whole team away in the process, a truly terrible and awful team that lucked into one of the greatest outfields ever and turned into a contender overnight, and of course, spreadsheet warriors, the most famous of which being an Australian who gambled his team away and now is scrambling to gain stat advantage once more.

The Super-League is definitely a create-your-own-fun baseball fantasy league. You can come up with endearing gimmicks from all walks of life, banter in IRC and argue about how players are good/terrible, and even be a perpetual good-humored failure of an owner.

And if you�re not good? That�s fine! Probably only a dozen people in the Super-League actually know anything about baseball, and these people might be more or less successful than you suppose. It�s perfectly acceptable to know nothing about baseball or be a baseball expert, because the Super-League teaches people a lot that they might not have known. Either way, we�re all scrambling for a position at the top, and watching as we fall hilariously to the bottom. And you will fall hilariously to the bottom, because the Super-League, at the end of the day, is about the continued failures of 30-some owners to topple the mightiest team to ever exist: Smasher Dynamo�s own New York Macho Men.

So do you have what it takes to build a team, build a dynasty, and gamble it all at a shot of eternal glory against the Macho Men? Well, you�ll have to get past the Syndicate first, and they�ve been at that war for a long, long time�

Tools of the Trade

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. :siren:

Generally speaking, having good pitchers is more important than having good hitters :siren:

! 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.

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 Dispersal Draft picks for anything less than a Ted Williams.
-Don't rush to trade before you've seen your team play.
-Lots of low-point teams means lots of potential trade assets.
-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!
-Try to shy away from modern teams.

In Closing: Have Fun, And Don�t Give Up!
Your first team will likely end in relegation. But that�s okay! Most first teams are pretty bad. Some of us are on our 5th or 6th attempt. Above all, the Super-League is a learning experience, and while there�s a decent amount here to get you started, the best way to get going is to join in with all of us cool losers in IRC! You can join us at irc.synirc.com, channel name #thesuperleague. Now, I�ve wasted enough of your time. Go check the feeders, armed with the knowledge you have, and make a team worthy of fighting off the longest dynasties!

Well, the Super-League is kind of like real life. There's no real way to win, it's just a matter of making what time you have meaningful before you are destroyed by forces beyond your control.

Come to think of it, perhaps an LP that reflects the existentialist nightmare of our mortal existence was never likely be a crowd favorite.

Don't worry Smasher, this team will never come close to the Super League so you won't have to worry about having Coldplay in the league.

How soon do you need rosters? I might not be able to fill mine out until sometime tomorrow afternoon. I have no loving clue who's going to be the 5th/6th starting pitchers on this team or where this bullpen is going so I need time to look at every loving pitcher in my feeders.

My team literally has 1 Reliever that I think is SL quality. I know how you feel. My 5th starter, LRP, and minor league pitchers are all a bunch of deadballers that are essentially coin flips. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with my team, will probably post my lineups and stuff tonight or tomorrow.

I think we have plenty of time tadashi, as they still need to get more people to sign up.

I had not actually noticed his decent SL record when I said that. Okay maybe I have 2 okay relievers...
