The Marauders at Springfield Nuclear Powerplant
Guys with Wood at Doc's 1.21 Gigawatts
Larrupin' Lou's at NY Bombers
Nomo Lookalikes Who Sell Pizza in the Pavilions at The Naked Truth
The 4 Horsemen at Tugger's Sluggers
The Lumberjacks at Evil Empire
Ice Cold at Boras's Holdouts
New York Squeaks at The Ligers
Michigan Wolverines at Rhode Kill
Saxmania's Swingers at Newburgh Naughties


Looks like the Lookalikes/Truth game is the Game of the Week. Both teams have a lot to lose if they don't manage a W here, as division titles and wild cards could slip away. Best of luck, Nat. May the best man win! :P

Wow, four weeks left and there are still a whole lot of teams with legit shots and some with outside shots of making the post season. This is going to be a bit shorter than I imagined, but without further ado I give you, The Eliminated List!

Springfield Nuclear Powerplant - (2-17)
Evil Empire - (4-15)
Newburgh Naughties - (5-14)
Ice Cold - (7-12)

The Plant rules the list at a mighty 2-17, quite an accomplishment for a noob. Hey, Empire, Naughties, and Ice, haven't I seen you around here before? Nothing I like more than perennial sucking! How do I petition the league to get into the DiMaggio Division, anyway? :P (<--- tongue smiley to indicate teasing humor)

That's it. You 4 guys and gals are the opitome of suckitude. The funny thing is that it's possible (although very unlikely) that no one could join you next week. Imagine that, three weeks left with only 4 teams cooked. We'll see!

I speak for the rest of the tRuth division when I say we appreciate your valiant effort. But hey, when a team puts up the 18th highest score of the week on you it's understandable that you might not be able to overcome it. Here's to your six day lead, slugger! :gulp:

Question

Can minor leaguers be added and dropped like regular players?

Big_E
08-16-05, 10:10 AM
Question

Can minor leaguers be added and dropped like regular players?

Yes, this league has no restrictions on adding or dropping minor league players, except for the rules that:

1) The minor leaguer must be in the minor leagues
2) The minor leaguer must still have rookie eligibility -- that is, not pitched 50 innings, or had 130 ABs.
3) Players drafted in this year's entry draft are ineligible to be signed until 2006's minor league draft or free-agent period.

Because as a created player, he won't appear in a Sportsline search. What you'd need to do is go to the "Lineup" page, and select "All Teams". If you search the page there, you'd see him. :)

Yeah, if he goes over the AB cap then you'll have to use a major league keeper pick @ 21 on him.

Wow, it's quiet in here this week.

From baseballamerica.com, this week's #1 prospect*:



1. Howie Kendrick, 2b, Angels (Double-A Arkansas) (NYYFans: Larrupin' Lou's)
It didn't take long for Kendrick to adjust to Double-A pitching, as he's batting .417 during a 14-game hitting streak that includes 12 multi-hit efforts. While his batting average has been spectacular all season, with 36 doubles, seven triples and 16 home runs, he also ranks eighth in the minors with a .622 slugging percentage. He also has 73 RBI, a .375 combined BA (150/400) and 21 SB in 28 chances (75%).

*It's a weekly snapshot of baseball's hottest prospects, combining prospect status with recent performance. This list isn't a replacement or an update to the Top 100, because it often will change drastically from week to week based on performance

Dear Dontrelle,

I don't know if you read this forum but I would just like to write you an open letter of apology. We never intended to part ways with you - it was nothing personal - strictly business. The CG shutout that you threw at us tonight resulting in 44 points was well deserved I guess. We in no way meant to hurt you or your family even though making you move to Springfield of all places seemed a bit harsh. Thanks for ruining our playoff hopes - I hope we can consider everything EVEN from this point on and move forward never looking back at the wrong we inflicted on you and your loved ones.

Sincerely,
miko

P.S. I hate you Stupid Sexy Flanders.

The Marauders regret having to cut ties with Eric Gagne as Brady Clark needed the roster spot to fill out our DL. In the hopes that Gagne doesn't miraculously recover to pitch a CG shutout against the Marauders we have sent him free tickets for the remaining 2005 games so there are no hard feelings.

I am your biggest fan this week Patrick. Looking at the schedule this should be the 2nd biggest week left for us this year - other than my head to head match up next week with the Lookalikes. BAck to this week - I have the Plant (who should have already rolled over and played dead by now) and Nat has to feel the power of the Truth. I was "supposed" to get a one game buffer this week but Flanders isn't following the script very well. My verbal trashing of Eric will probably come back to bite me in the ass - it's all about karma.

Isn't having to manage that team week in and week out penalty enough? Maybe his team is abandoned and we need a new GM. :(

I think he had a legal roster when the week started and I am not sure about a penalty - I think we have more of an "unwritten gentlemen's agreement" about this issue. But since Flanders cannot read and is certainly not a gentleman I am not making any excuses for him.

The "Just as Late as 2 Weeks Ago" Week 20 Quick Stats

I am probably going to get fired for doing this at work but there are 3 AMAZING PENNANT races going on right now plus 2 AWESOME WC races developing as well.

The Marauders - Gehrig Division (12-7) Tiebreaker over the Lookalikes
Tugger's Sluggers / Naked Truth / Woodies - Ruth Division (11-8)
The Lumberjacks / Holdouts - Mantle Division (11-8)
*For the puposes of the rest of this column I will assume that the TRUTH & the Jacks are in top spot in their divisions as head to head couldn't solve anything so I went with win percentage within their own division to break the tie.

The Ligers (13-6)
Nomo Lookalikes (12-7)
Woodies (11-8)

Well if you wanna go that route "Patty Cake Patty Cake baker's man".....The Slugs are 2-0 vs the Wood and 0-1 vs you. And I may be wrong - which I seem to be a lot of lately - but I don't think average points comes into effect if the tie can be broken by division records (which in your case I used).

The Truth is plugging away, but it won't be easy. The scores pretty close and we both have 3 starts remaining. But I'm doing what I can to win one for the mipper, or the Giko, or something like that.

The Ligers are in trouble this week.

IRod is pouting and not playing - Idiot.
Rondell White's injury was announced after I set my lineup - Idiots.
Roger was left in one inning too long last night - Idiot

Dang it.

What, I didn't see what Roger did last night, did he give up two runs or something?

Probably his worst outing of the year, however he was hurling a gem through the 6th inning. Maybe he got worried about the rumors at that time.

Okay, now I'm really confused. The Woodies have passed me in scoring, giving them the tiebreaker over me. So right now:

Truth - beats Slugs, loses to Woodies
Woodies - beats Truth, loses to Slugs
Slugs - beats Woodies, loses to Truth

So who the hell is in first? :wtf: :dunno: :drool:

What a fustercluck.

Well when Randi went missing I was questioning whether or not he had her locked in his basement since he knew FOR A FACT that she was going to return before the All Star Break. Coincidence? I think not. :eek:

Whoever wins your game it will be a shame that someone has to lose on the final day of the week. I did it twice in the first few weeks of the season and again to Vito a couple weeks ago and it SUCKS.

This is a dramatic week for the division. You and the Lous are all tied up, Slugs-Horsemen is a 6 point game, and Truth-Lookalikes is 4.5. The Woodies seem to be the only contender who has their game wrapped up, and coincidentally enough it's against the highest scoring team. And the Gigs still have a slim chance in that one, down by 23.5 with one start compared to the Woodies' three.

LET'S GO LOUS!!!
CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!

LET'S GO HORSEMEN!!!
CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!

LET'S GO GIGAWATTS!!!

Big week for the Truth! If the Horsemen could've held on against the Slugs it would have been perfect, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad as the Bombers have fallen out of the race and the Gigs pulled off a Sunday surprise and came back against long odds to beat the Woodies.

And in other news, the entire Mantle division beat the entire DiMaggio division. :scared:

Just goes to show you who the superior division is in this league. Mantle rules the land!

My team has had such a bad luck season. Nothing like leading your division in points and being tied for last place. :mad:

With King Felix on the mound for the rest of the season.....you do NOT want to play the Kill. Just ask the Wolverines. I will enjoy being the spoiler for the next 3 weeks. Jacks and Ligers beware.

OUCH - the .100 winning % team is getting trashed by the .250 winning % team. Gotta love it.
