2008 - 2009 Keepers

[abuck1220]

nice try, cheater.

[abuck1220]

i think soriano's exempt. peavy too.

[NCCubFan]

With Hermida (still barely exempt by the slimmest of margins) on my team now I'll probably jettison former Cub (for about a week) Olson.

[Guest]

ah, hell.

 

oops.

 

Coulda sworn he had an exempt year left when I traded for him last season.

 

Damn.

[Guest]

I think you traded for him because VMart was hurt.

[BigbadB]

It's not a problem, Tim. Just drop Pujols and you'll be able to keep McCann.

[abuck1220]

how the hell did tim get the first pick again? don't we do this [expletive] every year?

[Guest]

so pujols will be the first pick of the draft.

[shnsajax]

how the hell did tim get the first pick again? don't we do this Veterans Committee every year?

 

Why do people keep trading 1st round picks to Tim?

[bukie]

11 man roster, indeed.

that's what i was wondering. does it ever work?

[bukie]

Meh, we'll see. The #1 pick was really the only leverage I had to improve my keeper team/minors, so I traded down 10 picks to add a high-end keeper, a high-end pitching prospect that could start in the majors this year, and an extra later round pick.

 

Of course, if I had known he's hamstring his roster 3 days later, I may have held out for a better deal. :)

Feeling lazy? It's right there on the site.

I dropped McCann to get to the points limit (back at 1960 or whatever I said in my previous post).

 

btw - I now have a roster spot open if anyone wants to make me an offer on an exempt player. :D

i see the draft picks that were exchanged and zimmerman, but i don't see the high-end keeper.

[abuck1220]

i wasn't too lazy to see that you were trying to cheat with mccann, by the way.

 

:D

Jason Bay was the high-end keeper. That happened before the roster wipe, so I'm guessing that part of it got wiped too.

I'll send you Ryan Theriot for the #1 pick back. :D

[BigbadB]
