  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. i did just remark about the Schwarber larceny
  4. 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?
  5. in favor of whom?
  6. oh yeah that's right but i don't see any way Heyward makes the list
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. because of course
  10. 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"
  11. MLB draft 1st round NSBB gets Theocracy's pick Theocracy gets Cubs in AZ's pick 2nd round Tim Rodelo gets Harry Bud Crew's pick Chicago Pigeons gets Calvinball's pick 3rd round NSBB gets Cucamonga Cracker Killers pick Rodelo gets NSBB's pick 4th round Calvinball gets Cubs in AZ's pick 5th round Theocracy gets Cucamonga Cracker Killers pick NSBB gets Rodelo's pick Calvinball gets Chicago Pigeons pick 6th round Rodelo gets Calvinball's 6th Cucamonga Cracker Killers gets NSBB's pick 7th round Calvinball gets Rodelo's 6th Minor League draft 1st round NSBB gets Theocracy's pick NSBB gets Cubs in AZ's pick NSBB gets Chicago Pigeons' pick NSBB gets Harry Bud Crew's pick Theocracy gets Rodelo's pick Rodelo gets NSBB's pick 2nd round Cubs in AZ gets Cucamonga Cracker Killers pick Theocracy gets NSBB's pick
  12. .909 vs LHP fwiw http://minorleaguecentral.com/player?pid=608365&type=batter&split=3000
  13. i think i've got this right team 1 / lynx (prev. juan) = Kicks like Cade Foster ( philosophizer75 ) team 4 / hips don't lie (prev. tree) = Chicago Pigeons ( cubbieswagger ) team 5 / chicken of the sea (prev. tuna) = ThomeDon'tPlayThat ( DiceMan4221 ) team 7 / the process (prev. imb) = Cubs in AZ ( mhuber92211 )

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

    Luckily for you, I want Team 2. i hope you enjoy Hanley Ramirez; last summer he cost you Schwarber and Jose Berrios
  16. we have 6 players who made at least 14 starts at cleanup last year (and Schwarber wasn't even one of them)
  17. poor kid, his last 2 seasons have been a never-ending gut punch now watch him get Rashard Lewis'd in the draft
  18. just a reminder that including the playoffs, Schwarber in his age-22 season had a 650 PA pace of 45 HR, 121R, 109 RBI, 86 BB, .255/.362/.529 unless he starts diving out of the way of balls hit directly at him, i'm ok with keeping him
  19. he "used" the O's to do what, land a 1 year/$8m deal?
  20. that one was especially egregious; he's basically physically incapable of a 5-win season and if his BIP results dip into 'normal range' he's not even an average player like had previously happened for 2 straight seasons and Grichuk at 44 is pretty nonsensical, of course

  22. Mark Gonzales ‎@MDGonzales The initial notice was a physical appearance black 11:41 AM - 26 Feb 2016
  23. MFer windermere
  24. our getaway day lineup is still something like fowler CF soler RF rizzo 1B bryant 3B zobrist LF baez SS ross C P la stella 2B which is probably better than most lineups we used in a 97 win season
  25. we all thought that about swapping Castro & Russell in the field
