OFFICIAL WIS XVIII THREAD: An Ode to Claude Hendrix (1 Viewer)

Sorry koya, but Stan Musial has been a BEAST. 54 PA, .417/.481/.646, 3 HRs, 12 RBI.

Posada's .359/.479/.487 has been nice and Ontiveros hasn't allowed a run in 8 IP. :shrug:

No need to be sorry at all... Musial SHOULD be a beast, but he just was not performing for me. Posada was really meh... probably a mix of luck and ballparks, at least for Posada. Musial should rock. On the flip side, Sosa's not been great but about as good as Musial was for me, but the improvement at SS has been huge. Plus, I am getting Mike Griffin more time in the OF with much better D and for some reason he's raking it on offense so far at least.

I really didn't want to send Onti, but had to with decades.

That said, Id love to deal Hersh or Brown for a big 1B bat, and if someone with a HR friendly park wants to swap Sosa for another stud that might not be so HR dependent, that could work too.

Well, Musial IS playing at Sportsman's Park, his home park in his playing career. :excited:

There you go. No reason for Hubie Brooks, but I'll take it. Killed me to deal Musial, but while you got the trades best player, my lineup is significantly better overall without having a hole at SS, and OF / 1B is obviously much more flexible.

I'll trade you my first born for Gehrig. How about my first born and Bottomley, so you at least get a 1B in return.

I will look and see if it's possible, but unless your first born was Hank Greenburg I don't know if we will be able to make a deal.

He is Jewish. :shrug:

I shot out an offer to start conversation. I have some top pitchers and could get you a good bat in return.

<_<

That said, I am a trading maniac, just acquired Larry Walker to fill the 1B spot so not a huge need anymore.

Not that I wouldn't make more trades. And Lou would be an option. :coffee:

 
A little worried about having enough innings after recent moves, so if you need a good pinch hitter, OF Oscar Gamble or OF Ben Paschal is available for pitching.

 
Kevin brown brings it for one final victory before heading off to Dr D. Perhaps a risky move in trading him, but Spud Chandler has done very well for me in the past, so to get Walker as a true 1B ill hope for the best.

Of course Mike Griffin is still killing it which makes it tough to decide who to sit in the OF. Guess its a good problem to have but right now Sosa, Griffin, Ashburn and Wilson all doing well.

Good luck with KB DD

 
I also will consider moving OF Joe Kelley for starting pitching. He's underperforming a bit, but he should be a lot better and, maybe like Musial, just needs a change of scenery.

 
Well Larry Walker did nice with 2 HRs. Too bad I also had two blown saves.

FWIW, I think the next one of these needs to be a short-era league. Too much crazy variance when the talent pool is too rich.

Don't know if it's too much, just the nature of the league. But I'd agree that a more limited pool would be a good change for the next one.

Would Ruth to Bonds still be too varied?

If so, maybe it's time we explore Deadball vs Coors finally. :excited:

I still like the Ruth to Bonds, but we might want something with a bit more shtick for the next one, then go to an R2B.

Deadball Coors could be interesting.

 
How about only batters that have 10 homers or less and only pitchers that have given up 1.0 HR/9 or greater? In Coors field.

Edit: I have no idea the size of that player pool, but it should be big enough, right?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the idea of limited by stat range. Just feels wrong. :shrug:

It's one thing to find a way to keep out some crazy couple of outliers, but otherwise I'd prefer not. If everyone's gung ho, cool.

Lame.

 
Let's pick some random 3-5 year period that none of us are particularly familiar with and immerse ourselves. WWII era?

No argument, it's lame. But whatever.

NEVER WILL.

 
The problem with pre-1900 and WWII is the size of the player pool. I did the math on 42-45 once and I believe it could support a 12 team league tops.

We all just researched the 19th century guys. It's also pretty slim pickings.

What if we expanded it to all years pre-Ruth? (he debuted in 1914).

We could have two 12-team drafts from tiny eras, then combine it all into one league. Maybe WWII vs. WWI?
