2016 HR Derby :: Discussion + Transaction Thread

[soccer10k]

For those couple of us who switched WC slots to Trevor Story... story over. Season-ending surgery.

 

It's a good thing I'm 4th from bottom otherwise I'd actually be annoyed at this.

I need to put something out to the contestants to get a fair decision agreed upon.

 

TOPIC: Derwood has a clone player.

 

He has had two entries of Victor Martinez since mid-July.

 

Since this has never happened before since I've been doing the Derby, I wasn't sure how to do a fair ruling.

 

What are the thoughts of the participants for a fair way to amend this?

[Sammy Sofa]

Banning Derwood seems fair. Stern...but fair.

 

I guess just letting him pick someone else from the same category with the same or lower HR total makes the most sense.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

put him in last place so I don't have to be anymore

[Cubswin11]

He gets A-Rod the rest of the year

[Cubswin11]

Drop Carlos Gomez

 

Add Babe Murphy

[sweetpeteman]

Drop Stanton, add Rizzo

[evv98]

Drop Stanton, add Frazier

Even though Story is gone and I'm toast anyway:

 

Drop Stanton, add Rizzo

[glavine93]

Drop Abreu and Stanton

Add Rizzo and Bryant

 

hooray for getting to be a homer near the end! i should botch and neglect my team every season.

[PetermanRealityTour]

idk if this is still a thing but ....

 

Drop Stanton Add Bryant

[Southpaw19]

Sorry for the lack of updates. Apparently having a newborn is draining or something. :shock:

 

I will work on this today, and by the end of the day (hopefully way before that), I will have updated standings posted.

DAMMIT, PETERMAN.

 

The battle for 2nd is where the real drama is. 5 of us within 4 dongs of each other.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

David's robot brain failed him.
