Fantasy Baseball League #2

[BoSox34]

Has there been a verdict?

[schillingouttheks]

I don't think I'm unlocking you. I know regardless of whether I unlock you or not, you are not eligible to win anything. That being said, there's seemingly no point in letting you participate. You almost seriously f***ed up the league once, and should something happen again...well, I'm not taking the chance.

Why does my team suck? I'm even checking it everyday. This is horrible.,

You did a pretty good job on me.

[BoSox34]

I understand.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

It's a long season. Make new acquitions, trades. etc.

[ksushi]

Eh, I just don't feel ok giving up on the guys I have because I know as soon as I do they will all go on DiMaggio-esque hitting streaks and belt 3 homers in one game, etc. etc.

 

I am the king of the deadline move though, so hey

Hey, just saying don't give up.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Did anyone else notice that the results from Friday 5/12 didn't get intergrated with the match-up totals ? It's almost like the results were lost.

[He Hate Me]

That's an interesting trade between Beasts and yankshater

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, I'm thinking about voting against it myself. That was pretty ridiculous.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

That's an interesting trade between Beasts and yankshater

 

Yes, very interesting. In his first action since May 10 th, he dumps some of his best players.

[YanksHater213]

:dunno:

 

I havent been able to access yahoo fantasy sports from my computer at home so I havent been able to stay active, and hes been bugging me to accept these trades for weeks, so I just did it, I honestly didnt even look who was in it.

[BoSox34]

Is there any way I could be reinstated for the playoff push? I understand that I irked some people when I dropped those three players earlier in the year, but I guarantee that nothing like that will happen again. I have talked with SFoC and he said it's up to schillingouttheks but i am ineligible for the prize and I am fine with that...I just want to be unlocked for the fun of it so I can see if my team can do well in the playoffs. Please consider it, thanks.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, I believe you in that it won't happen again. As long as you manage your team seriously, don't trade your players away in BS trades, and understand that you're ineligible for prizes, then yes I can re-instate you. You understand these conditions correct? I feel like a contract right now.

[BoSox34]

Yup, I understand.

[schillingouttheks]

You have been unlocked.

[BoSox34]

Thanks.

Just a looking for an opinion on a trade i just made in fantasy baseball. It's nothing to do with this league. I traded miguel tejada for carlos guillen and paul konerko. Who do you think got the better deal? Thanks.

I look at it in terms of upgrading. You downgraded SS, but how much of an upgrade did you get at 1B? Who was your 1B before?

[WildThing58]

I had aubrey at 1b. But in terms of fantasy guillen and tejada have very similar stats. Tejada has a few more homers and guillen has more sb's. Everything else is pretty close.

In that case you got the better of the deal. Congrats !

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, I think you got the better end of that deal as well. But it doesn't matter how fair the trade was, as long as in the end you both get what you need. He could look at the trade and say Konerko was expendable because he had a good backup, and obviously Guillen was because he received Tejada. He could have just been looking to upgrade his SS, and nothing more. Even though Konerko is a big thing to let go of, his new 1B could be just as good if not better. Who's his 1B now?

Yea good point. The reason i made the trade was to try and get mor hr's and it seems like konerko is more likely to hit them than tejada. For the most part. And yes he has a good backup in Ryan Howard.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, you made a good trade. Ryan Howard that's exactly why Konerko was a throw-in piece of that trade. Who's his utility?

[WildThing58]

His utility is Travis Hafner and Felipe Lopez. He has a stacked team. He's in 1st and i'm in second. And i needed a change to make a run. I hope ensberg can come back to old form but you never know. We'll see.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, in that case, you both made damn good deals. I think you only helped his team though. But at the same time you made yourself better.

[Jon_Papelboner]

Check this 1st place team out:

 

C- Johnny Estrada

1B- David Ortiz

2B- Bill Hall

3B- Miguel Cabrera

SS-Derek Jeter

OF-Scott Podsednik

OF-Alex Rios

OF-Matt Holliday

Util-Carlos Guillen

Util-Corey Patterson

 

Nice having two potential MVP's on the same team

[ahhchon]

my fantasy team would destroy any fantasy team out there (16 team league teams, obviously a 10 or 12 team might have better players).

 

my pitching staff is:

Starters:

peavy

harden (dl)

kazmir (dl)

verlander

liriano

lester

robertson

 

RP:

heilman

putz

shields

linebrink

otsuka

gonzalez (pirates for you baseball nubs)

lidge

fuentes

 

J. Mauer

A. Pujols

B. Phillips

T. Glaus

B. Hall

R. Ibañez

A. Dunn

J. Damon

N. Johnson

B. Hawpe: just dropped him for jim edmons who is playing like the old edmonds.

 

i had giambi and traded him for damon since runs and sb were more of an issue for me, i had NJ and Puljos at 1b so either giambi or johnson had to be benched at a time and i always benched the guy who went 3-4 with 4 rbis.

 

i was going to pick up 2 guys since i have 2 pitchers on the DL but i'm leading the league and actually don't even miss them :-D

 

john

 

p.s.- holds are a category, hence the importance of lidge, heilman, shields and linebrink.

[Jon_Papelboner]

Mines a 12 team league, which explains why mine is so superior.
