the only issue i see is with players whose designation is in question, and the headaches this has caused in the past and would possibly be made worse with a concurrent draft we would have to set some kind of ground rules for ML vs. MiL eligibility; where do the international players fit?

keep the line moving Fowler (BB) Heyward (1B) Bryant (HR) Rizzo (HBP) Zobrist (2B) Schwarber (HR) Montero (BB) P (K) Russell (HR) and then we just score 7+ runs most innings instead of dong-wasting stupid b2b2b HRs

3/7 Game Thread: Return of the DONG
sneakypower replied to UMFan83's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
the Rockies announcers were awesome "well, i'm not sure which split squad lineup is better, what do you think?" other guy: "i'd really rather not play either of them, honestly" then i had the thought about whether we could put together a lineup from our non-starters that would compete with the Braves/Phillies/Padres [float=left]LaStella Victorino Soler Baez Guzman Contreras Szczur Kawasaki[/float][float=left]Galvis Herrera Franco Ruf Howard Asche Ruiz Hernandez[/float][float=left][/float][float=left]Inciarte Aybar Makakis Freeman "Adonis Garcia" Peterson Bourn Flowers[/float][float=left]Spangenberg Norris Myers Kemp Solarte Ramirez Upton Jr. Jay[/float] -
Spoiler Alert: Blues Clues is a cold-blooded killer Few shows have a slate of guest actors as impressive and and as straight up weird as this one. probably the best work Robin Williams ever did

you're allowed to keep players as exempt until they've surpassed the thresholds that GR mentioned, 4 times so as an example Sonny Gray has played 3 seasons, all where he has exceeded 5 starts so this is the last preseason keeper period that i can keep him where his points do not count against my keeper limit of 2000

his Japanese League sub-700 OPS last year? i've got nothing
-
we haven't had a trade vetoed in the time i've been in the league, so i don't know that you have reason to worry there i'm just trying to articulate that continued willful decimation of teams in the bottom half of the standings will ultimately make this league a non-entity in short order; if you're fine with that then ok, proceed as normal
-
in favor of whom? MURTON! Or Neil Rameriez, or Rex Brothers, or Alcantara...or maybe even Szczer. Szczur and Alcantara at their best have been less than Victorino at his worst; this is a strange hot take
-
i did just remark about the Schwarber larceny
-
hard to say, because this league oddly doesn't actually have veto vote like every other league in the world does, so massively tilted heists like 12 free years of Correa/Bryant/Stroman + a 1st for Trout/Waino & the 1200 pts they carry just passes right on through without question...as does 8 years of free Schwarber/Jose Berrios getting swapped for a month? plus of the Hanley experience(going off memory on these) and i honestly just suspect this was all largely due to managers not understanding the full complexities of the league setup, so i have the reaction that stuff like this is fairly predatory, is that fair to say? where are those managers now? i give you enough credit that you full-well know the enormous charity you've been gifted in trades like this, so imagine my amazement to see the trade details less than a full day after a quote like "A couple teams seem like they're kinda screwed." so now who then takes over this newly depleted team next year? what's the end game here?

in favor of whom?

oh yeah that's right but i don't see any way Heyward makes the list

Jonah Keri's doing a trade value series right now and so far from 50-20 we've had 3 inclusions http://www.si.com/mlb/2016/03/02/mlb-trade-value-rankings-part-1 http://www.si.com/mlb/2016/03/03/mlb-trade-value-player-rankings-part-2

i don't think it's controversial to say these things are roughly true pineda = odorizzi exempt danny salazar = kluber at 613pts reddick, holliday, prince have little to no value pre-roster-set so sure why not add both #2 overall picks on top of it all
-
because of course
-
Rondon Fan It seems a lot of the other game thread freak out people either left when the Cubs dominance was too undeniable or just got tired of being berated. I'd put high odds on StylesClash too. "i realize that we're leading 5-1 but if they string together some hits and we're forced to bring in Rex Brothers it could really spell our doom"

it's basically just like pre-FA years in real life where you get a player's services essentially for free
