All-Time Franchise Baseball Tournament: RED SOX WIN IT ALL!

[BigRedLedbetter]

I think we should take a break before the next one, if only to give someone else time to run a tourney in sports should they want to.

Like start Jan 1? I'm cool with that.

And stat sheets should be required for the next one.

And mess with my luck? Nah.

Rotation is

Verlander
Trout
Newhouser
Lolich


Lineups are pending

[@SkitchP]

Actually, he starts all rightys so I can just keep a lineup loaded into whatif.

I kind of agree with this. Also I could probably use a break to try to put some focus back on my collapsing "real" life.

So I put Votto at 3B around midseason (had to keep big klu in the lineup), and had he been in from the beginning I might have been in postseason contention.

I made the same mistake with Bautista.

Actually, when I was making my team, I was debating whether to start Bautista at 3B and Bell in LF or Gruber at 3B and Bautista in LF. I went with the latter, and when I finally decided to bench Gruber (and his .578 OPS), I forgot about moving Bautista and just plugged Molitor in at 3B. I got a bunch of games worth of mediocre hitting with 10 errors out of Molitor before I made my final switch. Ugh. Terrible management.

Yeah we can take a powder on these for a little bit.

International shipping is a giant pain in the ass. I can't just use. the mail room at work

What about in-state shipping?

Super easy.

You want a Hanover Insurance Group t-shirt?

Probably a good idea. Those of us in the spreadsheet war could use the time to come together and develop one that everyone can use so they'll all be the same and everyone will be tracking the same stats.

GODDAMNIT CHUD!

Final White Sox stats. Qualified team leaders in gold.

Should Lament ever be in the greater detroit area, his Comerica Park game tickets and a trip to the Motown Museum are on me

[Lament]

Oh man, that's really thoughtful.

[@SkitchP]

Oh man, that's really thoughtful.

to be fair, i have absolutely no idea if they even charge to go to the motown museum.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Oh man, that's really thoughtful.

Likewise if you are in Lincoln for a Nebraska/Maryland foot/basketball game.

[Lament]

You're getting one hell of a designated driver out of the deal too. That's probably more useful at Comerica than the Motown Museum, but still...

Thanks, man.

Can you be designated driver for me, too? I don't really drink anyway, but I'm four hours away from Toronto, so I could probably use a ride.
