Week 16

[Guest]

on the bright side, kennedy, ogando and hanson are a nice trio of exempt pitchers going into next season...

 

DeLaRosa, Duffy, Niese, Romero, Nicasio, Chapman, Hudson all have one, or more, years of exemption. :wink:

 

While my exemption list is not that impressive (Stanton, Lyles, Venters, Thames, J.Zimmerman) off years by Pujols and a long stint on the DL by R.Zimmerman should allow me to keep a decent amount of talent (Pujols, R.Zimmerman, G.Gonzalez, F.Hernandez).

Depending on how things play out the remainder of this year, I'm pretty close to being on pace to being able to keep:

 

Hosmer

Longoria

Hanley

Upton

Greinke

Latos

Pineda

Morneau

 

Not a bad core. :)

I don't have a bad core either; however, most of my 10 keepers will be exempt so I will have some points available to trade for an unwanted high points non exempt player

Wrong league. #-o

[NCCubFan]

I have Norris pitching against the Cubs tomorrow. I'm licking my chops.

LOL...not wrong league, maybe did not explain it well. IIRC, we get 2000 points - most of my non exempt player I want to keep do not have much points plus I will not be keeping many of them since I have exempt players; meaning, if a manager has a player with 800 points and can't and will not keep the player, I can offer a draft pick and/or non-exempt player. For example, I traded Halladay last year because I could not afford to keep him and got Travis Snider - lopsided trade against me but it allowed me to keep more players (quantity over quality strategy which did not help me this year).

Lets make sure we talk towards the end of the season ;-). You can pretty much have your pick from my team.

Definitely...you have lots of high points players so you will not be able to keep most of them.

kipnis was called up from the minors, so i dropped dan murphy, called up kipnis and added ryan lavarnway to the minors.

[TruffleShuffle]

You can lose to me if you want too :-s

 

I appreciate the fact that you are putting out a decent effort, even though there is an obvious race to get the first draft pick.

I need to know who is more likely to trade it to me so I know who to cheer for.

I'm running 2 losers out there tonight vs his 2 better players. Hoping for a win but doubting it. We'll see what happens, but with this losing streak, I may be a seller by late next week.

Prado is solid. I give anyone a good chance tonight against Dontrelle.

 

I can't believe my last 3 starts are combined -40. This should've been wrapped up, but like the Cubs, I give up leads easily.

[TruffleShuffle]

since chuck is now in the driver's seat for the #1 overall picks, we should all make him sign a pledge to not trade them to tim.

[tadowdaddy]

Depending on how I'm doing by mid week, I could become a seller.
