Stout Division Talk

[Clay]

Thought I'd start a thread for the best division in the BLB.

Damn there's a lot of FA money available in our division. Too bad there are no FA!!!

[Pat]

I'm going to run away with this division yet again.

I have made a few offers out there to some FAs, trying to test the waters.

[Clay]

I actually like Wilmington to push you. He's got a good young team and tons of money to swing deals with... something he has proved to be savy with in the past.

Your team is great... won't take anything away... but it's quite a bit older and, most likely, more prone to get hurt by the injury or declination fairy.

I love my team too. We're going to be YOUNG, YOUNG this year.

This is the year for Virginia. I can feel it.

On the arm of Errol Blue... he thanks again for him!!!

[Sully]

I think Diesel's team has one more good year in them. After that, they'll be chasing Wilmington AND Virginia.

No chance.

I hope his arm falls off. Either that or he falls victim to the dreaded torn back. You know that one's a career ender.

The one top pick of mine to pan out is on another team for free. I'm a brilliant GM.

1984 and them I'm done?

This division will be mine for as long as the BLB is around.

If you continue to be as annoying, I doubt I'll be around to see it.

Diesel will always have a shot only because he's loaded and doesn't tend to sign bad contracts. But... I don't see longterm dominance. Even Maine... who did look like a Dynasty... came down to Earth a little....

But I think they'll be real good again soon too... like Wilmington.

All that matters is that we keep the Trophy and the Wildcard in the Stout every year.

I do. Lots of money, top 10 farm system, four levels of minor leagues (DFA all-stars), and they have the best GM in the biz.

I think I've got first dibs on wildcard.

The Stout is just the poor man's version of the Bock anyway.

[Clay]

That's the recipe for short-term success. If the injuries start coming to your aging players, you'll have to pay with prospects to replace them for the short-term runs.

OR

If age and injuries come, you sell of your BLB talent to the contenders and start working from the farm again conceding a lost year or two in the process (see Davenport and Wilmington).

I don't see sustained dominance as an option. Plus, eventually we'll find out all the little cheating BS that you pull like the DFA scam and have rules for all of them.

I think by definition, the Bock is the poor man's version of the Stout.
