week 10

[TruffleShuffle]

i now have jaime garcia, halladay, panda, longoria, austin jackson and alex avila on the dl. not surprisingly i am getting crushed this week.

 

also yu darvish is the new dice-k.

[Tracer Bullet]

Should have nabbed Bud Norris while he was available.

[Tracer Bullet]

BTW I'd trade almost anyone on my team for almost anyone of those players. So, yeah.

[abuck1220]

you did trade for longoria while he was on the DL...

[Guest]

you did trade for longoria while he was on the DL...

He traded me someone from his DL for him, though.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm not sure what i'll do if someone else gets hurt. right now all of my bench spots are used up by injured players. my worst injured player is either alex avila, who's still pretty good and is exempt next year, austin jackson (also pretty good, and exempt next year) or jaime garcia. can't see releasing any of them.

 

thankfully panda is supposed to be off the DL reasonably soon and jackson has started his rehab stint.

[Tracer Bullet]

I'll take longoria or panda off you hands.

[Tracer Bullet]

He traded me someone from his DL for him, though.

 

then he should have traded for someone that wasn't on the DL. Trading someone that is on your DL for a guy that is on the DL doesn't decrease your total number of players on the DL. I suspect truffle knew this and made the trade anyway.

 

i.e., abuck has a point.

[TruffleShuffle]

we had agreed on a trade like a week earlier, but i was trying to trade kelly johnson so that i could fit the new players on my roster. then all of my players started getting hurt and nobody wanted kelly johnson, so trading an injured player was the only way to do it (besides continuing to play a player that i'd already agreed to trade, and putting off the trade even longer)

[Tracer Bullet]

If you hadn't traded a guy that was on your DL, you would have even more guys on the DL. Again, abuck has a point.

[TruffleShuffle]

wut

[TruffleShuffle]

put sandoval in my lineup at 3b, released chris johnson because he sucks, brought randall delgado up to my major league bench because he probably had too many starts to be in the minors anyway.

 

also, dropped ogando and added tom wilhelmson from the mariners because ogando is apparently now a SP and i want to have two RP.

[TruffleShuffle]

Ah son of a bitch, in my pitcher shuffling I ended up with Hammel in today's lineup even though I wanted just Shields and Lee. Posting this early (Lee hasn't started yet and Hammel just effective .5 IP) so y'all know I'm trying to cheat. I'll remove Hammel's points from my total score after the game.

[abuck1220]

wow, i hope there are a [expletive] ton of draft picks involved in that price + miggy trade.

[MembersOnlyJacket]

wow, i hope there are a [expletive] ton of draft picks involved in that price + miggy trade.

 

Agree. Otherwise, I call [expletive] on that trade and don't think it should be allowed.

[rawaction]

wow, i hope there are a [expletive] ton of draft picks involved in that price + miggy trade.

 

Yeah, for real.

[tadowdaddy]

I 100% agree as well.

[TruffleShuffle]

yep, that's an awful deal. taijuan walker is an excellent prospect, but singleton is probably not even top 50 and desmond has no value to the eyes of texas since he's out of exemptions. i hadn't made any trade offers to him since he's new and hasn't been active, but i could have blown that offer out of the water, and i suspect many other owners would have as well.

Those players alone are marginal for one of those...Price or Cabrera. To make it fair, both the 1st and 2nd round ML picks and would have to be traded - minimum.

I'd say it'd have to be first, second, and 3rd. Two stars are at least worth that, and yes, Price is star level.

I provided all the keeper rules to Brian and he thought about it for a week. Walker is the #15 prospect and Singleton #38. I gave him some bad info on Desmond (thought he was exempt one more year) but I am working on taking him back and giving him someone else. I also gave up both my 1st round picks.

 

I have not broken any rules and have done anything against fair play. I made a trade offer, info went back and forth and the trade was accepted.

"not breaking any rules" is true, but you made a trade with someone who just joined the league, and everyone else in the league finds it to be a steal by the established owner from the newbie.

 

we'll see what you guys come up with to replace ian desmond.

I agree about not breaking any rules, but that trade was so lopsided I feel you've taken advantage of a new member. Not anything fair about that deal for the new guy at all.

[moochpuppy]

How have I taken advantage of a new member? I gave him the keeper rules, I answered all his questions honestly and I'm assuming Brian is an adult. Are we not allowed to offer trades to new members on the chance they might accept?

[abuck1220]

yeah, i would have given up more than that just to get one of those two, let alone both.
