Theme of my season: A TRIBUTE TO MR. SUTTLES

 

If anyone needs bullpen help, I've got seven relievers plus two starting pitchers I plan to put in the bullpen. I might be looking for a right-handed bat in return. Some of these guys, like both my shortstops, can platoon.

 

Projected line-up:

 

1. Tony Gwynn (RF)(L)

2. Eddie Collins (2B) (L)

3. Lou Gehrig (1B) (L)

4. Duke Snyder (CF) (L)

5. Charlie Keller (LF) (L)

6. George Davis (SS) (S)

7. Buck Ewing © ®

8. Graig Nettles (3B)* (L)

 

Bench:

 

Darrell Porter © (L)

Hughie Jenning (SS) ®

Ken Boyer (3B) ®

Fred Clarke (LF) (L)

Kenny Lofton (CF) (L)

 

Projected Rotation:

 

Bob Feller (RHP)

Tom Glavine (LHP)

Jim Bunning (RHP)

Vida Blue (LHP)

Wes Ferrell (RHP) *

 

Bullpen:

 

Stan Coveleski (RHP) **

Frank Viola (LHP) **

Jesse Orosco (LHP) ***

Ron Perranoski (LHP)

Ed Roebuck (RHP)

Clay Carroll (RHP)

Frank Linzy (RHP)

 

Reserves:

 

Luke Easter (1B) - L

Dusty Baker (RF) - R

Elmer Flick (RF) (L)

 

Larry Sherry (RHP)

Hugh Casey (RHP)

 

 

 

* I need to see how the simulator treats Wes Ferrell, a pitcher who was very good during a pitcher's era but doesn't really put up comparable numbers to the others. Same for Greg Nettles, except vice-versa, who will probably split time with Ken Boyer.

** Long-relievers.

***Front-runner for closer-job, though very close with Ed Roebuck. Orosco is a great specialist in his own.

Should we put together a trades thread? People can list what they need/are willing to give up.

Absolutely.

[Vern Gagne]

Tom Kelly has been named 3rd base coach, Ron Gardenhire 1st base coach, and Johnny Sain pitching coach for the Hop Bitters.

[Styles]

The Browns are happy to announce they've reached terms with Chuck Thomson and Joe Angel to do radio broadcasts and signed Jon Miller and John Loewenstein for TV broadcasts.

[Guest LooneyTune]

All your players look 17, and the average age for your players should be 27-28. What gives, you pulling a Little League Scam?

[Dr. Tom]

Vern secretly drafted Danny Almonte.

 

DIABOLICAL~!

I'll mention this again in the trade thread, but I'm willing to shop Dave Bancroft around, preferably for a catcher. Also, I'd like a couple southpaw pitchers, preferably one a starter and one a reliever.

[Beast]

Ok, so when do we start.

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

Ok, so when do we start.

Probably Thursday or Friday of next week. I have a handful of papers due, so my plate is fairly stacked beforehand.

[Vern Gagne]

Screw the papers. This should be your top priority.

So....when's the season start? Don't tell me we forgot about this after spending all that time assembling teams.

[Vern Gagne]

Questioning the league official. That's a bannable offense.

Questioning the league official. That's a bannable offense.

May 2 2005, 8:46 PM- In a shocking statement released from commishner "Evil" Al Keiper's Philadelphia based office this evening, it was announced that all of the players of the St. Louis Browns have tested positive under All Time Baseball's new steroid policy, and have been suspended for the season. Furthermore, half of the Browns have been revealed to have gambled on All Time Games in the past, banning them from ever enterting the All Time Hall Of Fame, while the other half of the Browns have been named as terror suspects thanks to an "anonymous tip" to the FBI and as a result have been detained in a holding camp, per the Patriot Act. As a result of these completely coincidental and unfortunate circumstances, the St. Louis Browns have no choice but to forfeit their season. Replacement players are not allowed in the All Time League, as per the collective barganing agreement between Commisioner Evil and the legends. The AP contrinuted to this report.

I've been thinking about asking someone else to host the league itself on OOTP. Is anyone interested?

Does anyone else have OOTP?

[Vern Gagne]

So this could turn out to be a big waste of time?

[Guest LooneyTune]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! (Takes deap breath) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

So this could turn out to be a big waste of time?

It's not. I'm going to run with this shortly.

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

One important change. Well, semi-important. Instead of a 25 man roster and five reserves, I am just going to run with 30 man rosters. I think the effect will be minimal. It just saves me the trouble of having to switch the rosters around before setting the lineups.

[Styles]

Talk about ruining the integrity of the game. What's next? Pitchers don't bat? The season is extended? Leagues playing each other?

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

That's the other thing. THe league will now run for eight games, and the World Series is now a best of four format. Oh yeah, and three DHs.

Sounds like Coaches pitch in little league. As long as Earl gets it over the plate.

[Styles]

Just as a note, one of our players has been banned by the ban happy mods (Looney Toons). Maybe if Al ever starts this he can use his modly powers to unban him for this...
