Stout Division Talk

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 only have two real aging players, and they have no injury history, and both had career years in 1983. Both 35.

You can have all your doubts you want. But I got this OOTP thing down. :)

I think I've got first dibs on wildcard.

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

Stout - 2
Bock - 1


Next!

Yeah, I guess I'll just lay down...

Not my fault.

Actually, looking at the budgets, Clay is right. We literally are the poor men.

So, my Brothers in Stout, how close are you to your anticipated 25 man roster for Opening Day? Do you still have major roles to fill? Got any anticipated ST battles?

As close as I am going to get I think. Let the battle for the worst team in the league begin!

You have some money. Are you tinkering around in FA at all?

Listen to this guy trying to scope out some sensitive information with this "brothers in the Stout" malarkey. What a shyster!

[Clay]

I didn't ask for details. Just curious. Plus, it's not like it's not easily found. I know who Indy is bidding on... Los Lunas.... I mean it's easily detected. Plus, more importantly, it's not like I'm changing my team based on what other teams do.

People can share as much or as little as they want. I'm out in the open about mine.

My starters and bullpen are set... Hernando and Greenham are my C's... BJ and Greenham are my 1Bs.... Harcourt and O'Hegarty at 2B and SS... Poling will play 3B... OF is Nelson, Murcott and Just with Headington likely coming back up to be the 4th OF. I don't think anyone in any division is going to change their plans based on that info.

Maybe... maybe not.

[Riverman]

Can't you tell when I am joking?

[Clay]

I can... but I wanted to make sure the new guy knew too.

Makes sense; you're smarter than I thought you were.

[Clay]

It's an illusion.

My team is pretty much set.

I have one decision to make as who will be my #5 OF, and who will be my last MR.

Besides that, what you see is what you are going to get. And believe me teams in the Stout, you are going to get it.

BUMPed From the Dead...

Just looking at the LeaderBoards...

Holy Crap... of the 25 Offensive Categories... 21 of them are lead in the IL by a player in the Stout.

This division sucks!!
