Maybe you could trade him back to me in a deal? \:D/
-
I released "the real" Kyle Gibson so he could be picked up by Navin. There was another player I wanted to pick up which is why I didn't wait for a trade acceptance.
-
You're too slow. I had this updated about 10 hours earlier.
-
I'm surprised he's still even trying after losing to me. :-)) iirc, I still had the second highest score in the league last week. Even with a -24 start from wells thrown in there. Considering I'm 3rd in the league in scoring and 6th in the league in breakdown I have to say whoever came up with this league schedule sucks!!

Am I going to get f**ked by this again?!? :banghead:

I'm ready to upset the Budcrew!!!

An average of 308 points over the last two weeks and I have two loses to show for it. ](*,)

So you can pick up FA midweek but just can't start them until the following week? Also, even though the rules state, as posted, that SP can move freely in and out of the lineup in order to make a maximum of 7 starts this does not apply for SP picked up midweek? I think there should be something posted in the rules thread regarding this so it won't have to be discussed for a 944th time since abuck is keeping track.
-
So for instance I have 7 SP on my roster. Player A is scheduled for 2 starts and the others 1 each for the week for a total of 8 starts. I decide player B is going to stay on my bench because I don't like his matchup. I find out later in the week that player A's last start of the week is getting pushed to Monday. So, according to the rules, I can take player B off my bench and insert him into the starting lineup to get my 7th start. What is the difference of doing this and picking up a SP in midweek to do the same thing?
-
This is the rule that applies to the question being asked. While it doesn't specify adding or dropping for 7th starts, it also doesn't make the exception. Since there is no exception, it reads as though all active roster changes must be set before games begin on Monday. This rule is being contradicted in the very next sentence. If a roster has to be set by noon Monday each week how can starting pitchers be free to move in and out of the starting lineup?
-
Well, this would be my first.
-
I have to disagree. There is nothing stated in the rules (that I can find) that says you cannot pick up a pitcher midweek in order to get a seventh start. I cannot find where it says you cannot pick up a FA SP for a start.
-
What we could do with relievers is we could use a certain amount of appearences instead of innings pitched once they first hit that 50 IP threshold. Correct.
-
Which you wouldn't have if my team weren't so pathetic. I'll take what I can get.
-
Time to build on my one game winning streak.
-
For now is right. I have a three start advantage for the weekend. Hopefully they can score above zero. :blink:
-
Huh? :-s

Let's hear it. I also agree with a bump in keeper points, but if we're bumping up to 15 keepers, I think we need to go to 2500 points at the very least. The way the system is now once a player reaches 130 AB/50 IP that players exempt clock begins to tick and he is exempt for the next three seasons. Sometimes with these young players they don't always stick in the majors, get injured or become bench players or what not. What if the rule changed that instead of the next three years automatically being exempt, that we change it so the player is exempt until he reaches that same plateau (130/50) for three more seasons. For example.....Josh Johnson's exempt clock began to tick during the 2006 season. He was exempt then for 2007, 2008 & 2009, however, he only pitched 15 innings in 2007 and whatever team had him lost out on that exempt year. The new rule would allow for 2007 not to have counted against him and he would still have 2010 to be exempt. As far as the increase in keeper points maybe we should keep it within the current average per player? We currently sit at 1800 SCP with 12 keepers (150 per). Increasing the keepers to 15 would put the cap at 2250 SCP.

I have a tweak to the exempt player rule that may interest people for voting on.
-
It's not supposed to start until Friday....meaning.....if Silva or Gorz pitch awful the next two games I bet Zambrano stays in the rotation.

MLB just wants to make sure their managers are clean. Hoodies can hide additional muscle bulk. -

Losing 2 of 3 to the 'stros at home helps.
