and i don't really know why/what you're griping about...you got trout and bauer (two players way better than the prospects the new guy just got) for two players much worse than price + miggy.
-
don already posted one. without thinking too much about it, i'd offer a platter involving freeman/mesaraco/ weeks/skaggs for miggy.
-
longoria is certainly not equal to miggy and they play the same position.
-
you weren't offering cabrera or price.
-
yeah, this needs vetoed.
-
yeah, i would have given up more than that just to get one of those two, let alone both.
-
wow, i hope there are a [expletive] ton of draft picks involved in that price + miggy trade.

if we started a thread about every negligent manager that failed to use seven starts, that's all this forum would be. in fact, there are multiple teams that won't be using seven starts this week. MR has been one of the most active managers in the league this year. i'm just grateful he was willing to step in and take over the absolute shittiest team this league has ever seen. he's won more games and scored more points than tim...that's enough for me to be satisfied with the effort he's putting forth. and damn am i already sick of hearing about the stupid #1 pick in a draft that is 9 months away.

so if it's announced at noon that a guy is coming off the DL that day and you don't realize it until after the games start that day, you shouldn't get any points because your roster was technically illegal? there has to be some grace period to get someone off the DL.
-
again, not getting a DL'ed guy back in the lineup the minute he gets activated is worlds different than "i just added 2 guys and dropped 1 oops i didn't realize my lineup was illegal." i don't really know how that ever happens.
-
But you could always make mid-week changes if it involved injury or trade. We make mid-week changes when someone goes ON the DL. Why not when someone comes off? i dunno...i've always operated under the assumption that if a guy comes off the DL mid-week you have until the next week to do something about it. you might need to completely overhaul your roster when you bring a guy off the DL, and that could involve dropping/adding/making lineup subs that aren't directly related to the injured guy. i don't think you should be able to use a guy coming off the DL as a reason to completely revamp your lineup mid-week. you could really use that to add at-bats/games or get rid of a guy who is sucking/not playing much. i don't think there's anything wrong with waiting until monday to take a guy off the DL. i benched freeman yesterday because of some finger injury. he's back in the lineup today...am i in trouble for failing to get him back in there right away? i don't think we've ever played that way.
-
obviously i don't think anyone should lose games on purpose.
-
tim, i gotta say, you didn't seem to mind that truffle threw last season starting like may 1st since it involved him trading you roy halladay.
-
there's a difference between a guy that is off the DL remaining on your DL for an extra day and friggin' picking up 2 players and dropping 1. i mean, come on.
-
i always thought you got until the next week to get someone off the DL. otherwise you could be making other roster moves that effect your lineup and are thus making mid-week roster changes.
-
you did trade for longoria while he was on the DL...
-
interesting point.
-
yeah, you can't blame the guys that put this terrible team together for the team being terrible. totally came out of nowhere.
-
so after that huge spectacle, he ends up doing something he could have done regardless of what restrictions ryan put on him. geez.
-
for sure. i have no interest in watching this team lose 105 games a year until 2017 or whatever.
-
two halladays, one ken cloude and one oliver perez. final offer.
-
ugh, thanks for posting that bukie...i would definitely NOT trade dempster for ken cloude. DEMPSTER FOR MINOR/CLOUDE OFF THE TABLE.
-
no, you're right...every pitcher that sucks at age 23 turns into roy halladay.

Mike Minor isn't anywhere close to reaching his potential. He'd be a good buy low candidate, IMO. I like Minor, despite his struggles, if he puts it together he could be a very good pitcher. And really, what are you expecting in terms of MLB talent for a half year rental of a 35 year old pitcher? A guy that hasn't been horrific in a full season's worth of ML starts. Yeah and at the ages of 23 and 24 180 innings is a good indicator to pass on a guy who, just last year, was a top MLB pitching prospect. Good logic there. Let's pass on the big potential of a young, under-control-for-several-more-years pitcher with a good pedigree because he hasn't cut the mustard in parts of two seasons. This player, over the course of two partial seasons totaling a full seasons worth of starts (more or less), at the age of 23 and 24, put up this line... 6.09ERA 29GS 9W-10L 173IP 140K 79ERA+ 10.6H/9 3.5BB/9 7.3K/9 He was a top prospect in baseball before his age 23 season. Would you trade Dempster for that if you knew it was Roy Halladay? OWNED ha ha dummy, you wouldn't trade dempster for a 23 year old roy halladay??? what are you stupid or something???
