[Norah]

Only so much room.

Oh, Francona is our manager, in case anyone was wondering.

[Lament]

"Whatever. They said the 1906 Cubs were unbeatable too..."

Doc White ain't afraid.

Greatest manager of all time.

[Lament]

Is it gonna be awkward the first time Ruth and Pedro meet?

[numbers]

Manny and Bill Lee should be a good one, as well.

Will we be able to divide this into the AL and NL for the playoff structure? Or will it be lopsided with more teams in one league?

[Lament]

If we end up with an even balance between the leagues we can do NL/AL for the playoffs, but as of right now things are very AL heavy. We'll structure the playoffs according to how many teams we end up with. Hell, right now we can probably do Eastern Time Zone on one side and Central Time Zone on the other.

I thought Babe Ruth, Wade Boggs and Roger Clemens were Yankees?!

I can see Da Pus winning this thing, while we all try to adjust our lineups and set up matchups.

Honestly, adjusting is the only reason why I won the last one I think. In all the sims I ran before we started using my "best" lineup, I was a .400 club. When I started platooning like crazy I started winning 60% of the time.

[numbers]

I didn't feel like any of my bench players were close to my starters so I never really changed my lineup.

Looking at some people/stats for the Astros, it turns out this franchise hasn't had that many good players. They'll be players on our Red Sox bench better than anyone on this team.

4-0

I don't think JT Snow and Trot Nixon, as much as I love him, would have changed that. It was my fucking bullpen.

haha. You're probably right. I think i took Ben Zobrist in like the 7th round and he barely played.

[@SkitchP]

Couple year changes after loading my Tigers team.

Dizzy Trout is my 2nd Starter, 1904 George Mullin is my 3rd, Lolich is my 4th. Verlander to 5th.
Henneman is gone, replaced by 1981 Jack Morris.


Guillen I am going with 2004, Granderson should have been 2007, Miggy 2012.

I will save it once I can load victor 2014 to my final roster spot.

[numbers]

I hope Argo picks Clemens so that the Rocket can be on 4 teams in this thing.

[@SkitchP]

I have a Reds team loaded and ready to go in the system. Ill post the lineups once it's decided that no one else has claimed them.
