ALL DEE-NEE Team

[NotURMasButArmas]

Hey guys! After an extended RBI-less stage of my life I am back and better then ever. All this ROM talk is really exciting. Let me know if there are any open spots on the Dee-Nee rosters...

Armas

I see Armas as either a big bat off the bench, or as a starting pitcher, like Tony Armas Jr.

I hear Armas was in the Mexican leagu getting ready for the Dee Nee league. We're gald he's back.

Three more spots to fill for the Dee Nee team!!!  Hoepfully we can fill enough spots for a DAH NAH team.  What does everyone think of Gantry's idea  of having all the forum guys on the Dah Nah squad?

[vgp100]

Yeah, like a bizarro Dee Nee squad.

If you want to make the rom most quickly, I would suggest just you take the stats from a player of the original rom for each person. That way you have all the ratings/stats already done. Afterwards you can draft as many teams as you need so the rom will seem different.

Actually I was thinking of a program that would put all the players in a pool, then let you draft teams & spit out a rom.

I like that idea - everyone gets to pick their RBI player.  Some ideas:

I'm Harry Spilman, though I'm not lefty.  Spilman stats in a righty?  I just want some power.  I should be Steve Lake, but refuse to...

Jason was a very good baseball player, could hit and was fast.  He's Gibson, but righty...

Potsie is Burleson...

Lipitz will have to answer for himself...

I think that drafting the teams is a brilliant idea.  The only thing we have to do is recruit enough people to fill two teams.  We are getting very close.  I think we have filled one and a half teams so far.  We should be able to finish the second team soon.

i think you guys are on track, so the original dee nees on dee nee and the forum flunkies on dah nah, that puts me in the right boat.  i definately think for the 1st iteration we should choose a player from original rom to rep us on the dee nee nah rom.
This whole effort is the most damn shineenee thing i've ever f'ing seem!  Keep it up.

I'm gonna switch my player from a lefty to a righty, as well.  Give me Pat Sheridan.  He won't be overly fast as a lead-off hitter, but oh well.

Thanks for the props, Gantry.  I was always the fastest guy on the team so I need more speed than what Gibson brings to the table.  I don't want to be thrown out from RF.  I'm no Vince Coleman but maybe the speed of Danny Gladden or Gary Pettis.

Anybody think of just having two teams? That way guys on the bench can be on a different team.

I probably would have enjoyed playing a different position, but being bigger then most of the kids, I played a lot of 1st base. I could hit the ball a ton if I got a hold of it, but going for the long ball is bad for your average. Maybe ill give softball a chance.

One time I did play left field on an american legion team, and the sun was so bright, the coach bought these dollar store sunglasses, and I had to stand out there like an ass, trying to find the ball with sunglasses that didnt work.

I also did a very small amount of pitching. In 9th grade, I got a chance in a scrimmage, but the coaches were afraid I would kill somebody, so they didnt let me pitch the entire season, and let my brother pitch. Then in the last game, they gave me 2 innings. I stuck out 5 of the 6 batters, all but one on 3 straight pitches.

My friend told me after the game a guy in the stands was talking about me and said "When he's good, he's really good, but when he's bad, he's really bad. There's no in between with this kid.  Needless to say I had control problems.  And when you combine that with a above average fastball, and playing baseball at that age, coaches dont want to take chances.

Oh well, Id like to be 1st on the second team if that would be cool, maybe we should have all-dee-nee East/West or North/South.
