Unused Dynasty Ideas


Sean O

Recommended Posts

Shocking, I know, but there are dynasty ideas not yet used. Anyone can use these free of charge, for what will certainly be the best dynasty we've ever seen.

Miami Vices:

Can you take every player arrested or suspended for drugs, domestic violence, or some other illicit activity to the top? Can Brett Myers and Elijah Dukes occupy the same dressing room? Does Delmon Young keep throwing bats at people?

Oakland (Un)Athletics:

How many fat guys can you fit into one dugout? A rotation featuring CC Sabathia and David Wells guarantees tons of sweaty fun. Can Rich "El Guapo" Garces make it back to the Bigs?

Arizona Agony:

You're in charge of the only team with more trainers than players, as you field the 25 most injury prone players in the tricky NL West. Who falls down the stairs carrying deer meat? Who cracks a rib sneezing? Who brains himself with his bat during a particularly violent swing?

Philadelphia Phury:

With all of the angriest and most violent players in the majors, Philadelphia's in for a heated summer. Watch Lou Pineilla try to keep Carlos Zambrano from stabbing Kyle Farnsworth with a broken bat!

Indians in the Cupboard:

An Indians dynasty with players widely suspected of being gay. Will traditional Midwestern values trump the desperate Cleveland need for a championship?

Houston Hustle:

You know the type, the run-out-every-play midget freaks that make baseball great. David Eckstein's hustle has made him the most feared player in the game. Chone Figgins treats every game like his last. Can you overcome their meager talent and short stature to win the NL Central?

The Texas Tonguetwisters:

Grudzialanek. Mientkiewitz. Saltalamacchia. Can your wrists make the entire 162 games typing the longest and most convuleted names in the game? Can they make it to the top of the West?

Minnesota Makeup:

Makeup, one of the intangibles that you just can't ignore. Can the nicest players in the league turn their remarkable boredom into World Series gold?

San Fran Senility:

After years of trying, Sabean has finally amassed the 25 oldest players in the game. Will Julio Franco make it through a season without breaking a hip? Can Roger Clemens bravely battle back from hemmorhoids?

Runelvys Hernandez and Ambiorix Burgos should be in there too. Your second catcher should be Pierzynski.

I've always wanted to, but never will, do a dynasty called "25 Little Indians" that's an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery set in the Cleveland clubhouse over the 162 game season. Hercule Poirot would manage. ...Or not.

We should have an esoteric dynasty contest. Perhaps a dynasty where each player has a very specific approach to the game, and each engages in existential discussions relating their baseball approach to their particular understanding of the world and their surroundings. We'll have Eckstein stating how he utilizes his small stature to take opponents by surprise, Adam Dunn espousing the benefits of ignoring detractors when you understand your true talents, and Carlos Silva stating how control at all times is the most rational approach to one's life.

And David Wells would just try to eat everybody.

To be fair, it was an emergency: his blood sugar was down.

EDIT: Are there any Randian / Objectivist players? For some reason, I feel like Curt Schilling should be, if he's not already.

Good question, but Schilling would make sense. I also think we'd need to include a CAP of Pedro Serrano from Major League, with a diatribe (tribe! get it!?) against following the crooked path so clearly represented by the curveball, even if it does lead to your own undoing. You must follow the straight path at all times.

I'm sure we can also get Gary Sheffield in there, whose one goal in life seems to be pissing off whitey. We're open to all sorts in this dynasty.

Though it doesn't quite have the same comedic aspect as Sean O's suggestions, it would be interesting to take all the players from the best AAA team and swap them with it's big league club, and see how they do. Oh wait, the Marlins already did that last year...

ha, i tried the team fatso dynasty idea once. That was a nightmare, all my team could do was hit homers. no speed, no relief, and no fielding.

Another dynasty idea i tried briefly. The scruffy team. All the longhaired unshaven and generally unkept guys on one team. Halladay, Haren, Green, Swisher, Manny, Kline... that was a fun team

Another Idea I had was doing a fantasy draft and juust do pitching and defense, it was actually harder than you think to draft the team considering Omar Vizquel is one of the top shortstops and Yadier Molina is like the 5th best catcher.........

My team was:

C - Yadier Molina

1B - Travis Lee

2B - Alex Gonzalez (the SS from the Red Sox last year)

SS - Omar Vizquel

3B - Eric Chavez

LF - Endy Chavez

CF - Torii Hunter

RF - Mike Cameron

Finding good fielding outfielders like Endy Chavez who don't hit well was pretty hard actually..... don't remember much of the pitching staff though, I just know it had Johan and Livan Hernanez on it...

But the big question in my mind was who would end up with more home runs, Livan Hernandez or Alex Gonzalez >__>

It was actually ranked like 3rd overall my team......

Not as good as the ideas already listed but ...

1) A team of fairly recent and/or more preferably current baseball players that either were accused of or actually did steroids. The name could be something like "Steroids of Swat".

2) A team consisting of players that played on at least X number of teams.

I'd like to see a dynasty done using the the "Major League" version of the Atlanta Braves. I mean, you'd have to fill in a few gaps, espically in the bullpen and pitching rotation, but i think it could be done by someone really enthused by the project. Probibally be a hoot to write for too.
