Roger Clemens is available to anyone who is willing to wait for him. I'm looking for a lower tier guy than Clemens who will be pitching all year.

In the event anyone read Stockers post on the forum on Yahoo...Pujols is up for grabs...I don't have a spot for Pujols, but I'd be willing to give up one of my number one starters...I have a few...in a deal that would bring you Pujols and net me a superstar OF (Crawford-esque...I'd like to stay away from Vlad...but I'm up for suggestions) and a middle of the road pitcher.

[ORS]

Stocker is looking for an elite pitcher and a very good hitter. You are a little light on offense, so with you providing the elite pitcher, whoever is going for Pujols would have to give up a superstar OF to you, a middle rotation pitcher to you, and a very good hitter to Stocker.

 

I just don't see it happening. Pujols is great, but he's not two superstar hitters and a decent pitcher great. Real baseball, maybe, but not in fantasy baseball. Someone would be much better served dealing with Stocker directly.

Agreed ORS. He's a great player but unlike football, he can't carry your team. The drop-off between him and the next 4-5 1st basemen is negligible considering all batting categories and overall impact. He's 1 out of 10 offensively and potentially 1 from pitcching.

Stocker wants too much. I can't blame him for asking though.

[stocker323]

I definitely want a top 10 fantasy starter in return for Pujols because Mussina as my most consistent option isn't going to cut it plus who knows when Pedro and Colon are gonna come back. If a hitter won't work I'd take a closer instead because I have a pretty deep hitting team and I think my batting will survive if I trade Pujols. If I don't get a deal I like, the worst I can do is keep Pujols but I haven't gotten any offers yet...

TO All Members of This League :

 

Here is the current situation as I see it.

 

A proposal was sent to most of us via PM, inviting you to join an elite league with cash prizes ( assuming you paid $ 20 dues ), This was done in late January.

To the best of my knowlegde, everyone agreed. When Jacksoniansmarch dropped out ( not his fault due to scheduling ), I asked my son to fill in. He's "Big Papi's CC" ( aka Hyrax ). To answer your doubts and questions, he's here to " kick my ass ". Obviously, he won't trade with me ( not that you guys would allow it ).

Today is the 20th of March. We are talking about 2 months time frame to come up with $ 20. I've heard just about every excuse. Some may be legitimate, some not. I really don't care. I take people at face value, meaning, I believe what they say, unless I have a reason to believe otherwise.

 

I took over the collection of dues, because Zach ( Schillingoutthek's ) could not. This was not my first choice. Considering that this is my most demanding time of the year. It's TAX TIME. The impact that I have ( tax liability, mortgage qualification, college financial aid, etc.) means more than the money. These are, for the most part, clients that have been with me for 20 yrs and I'm dealing with a second generation, meaning I have a responsibility to them and their parents.

 

Some might remember, my other medical problems. Unfortunately, there have been some new developments requiring a multitude of of tests and surgery. Meaning time, is at a premium.

 

So here's were we are at. It seems out of 12 members of our "elite" group, 6 have actually paid their dues ( 7 counting Schillingoutthek's, I'll cover him as he's the Commish. & "he's good for it" ). Here's the point, unless the rest of you that haven't paid can find the time and funds to send, and I receive the $ 20 on or before 3/28/06, I will either refund money to those that paid. Or limit the prize(s) to those that paid. This is months to pay for something that you volunteered for. I will not wait until Opening Day. with the hope that the dues will be paid later.

 

 

Once again, either the funds are received ( everyone paid ), the prize(s) are reduced, or funds will be refunded. It's your choice. [/size][/b]

[He Hate Me]

SFOC,

 

I'm ok with reduced prizes to the people who paid.

 

cmon folks its $20. we all agreed to it.

I second the motion.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I let everyone know what was going on with my situation...my dues will be in the mail today.

 

Should I not bother sending now?

[ORS]

Wow. I thought Riverside was off the deep end when he took Pedroia in the 3rd round, but this trade might be worse.

 

Gary Mathews Jr. & Roger Clemens

 

for

 

Matt Cain & Ken Griffey Jr.

 

Insanity. I won't vote against it because it's not my place to slow He Hate Me's roll, but damn. I hope he at least offered to use lube.

I thought the same...but hey, if he can pull it off, more the power to him.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

So wait wait...can you guys answer me...should I bother sending the dues or not?

I agree to this also.

[riverside sluggers]

Check is in the mail, SFOC

 

EDIT: Pleasure doing business with you Jacksonian . No offense for me keeping Dan Haren, he has a good chance to be the ace of the A's. I like my fantasy pitching duo of Matsuzaka & Haren

 

At same time you get the young rookie Matt Cain who should have a good sophmore year in the NL West

I was going to send the money today but I learned I don't have any stamps...

 

The money will be sent, though. I promise.

That happened to me too. And when I went to the post office to buy a stamp from their damn machine, it was broken. That's the problem with email, when you need a stamp they are no where to be found.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

So I was worried as to why I hadn't gotten an update from SFOC saying that he received the money I'd sent, so I went and checked the box I dropped it in. I guess there's only certain pickup times from that box, so it didn't go out when I thought it had. Anyways, it either got Saturday's or Monday's pickup and should be there within a day or 2. How are the rest of you guys coming with yours?

[He Hate Me]

Jason Bay is available to anyone who is willing to swap a premium pitcher. I've sent out some trade proposals already. Will consider all serious offers.

Well, in regards to my players, another one goes down at the start. Hopefully nothing serious. I just saw Kenny Rogers (tired arm) will start the season on the DL.

 

Awesome... so my staff could have me on it and I'd be better off...

 

DL'd:

Prior (I know hes a risk but still)

Wang

Rogers...Who's next

[ORS]

MGB, there's a 25 IP minimum for each week, so you might want to make some moves to hit the limit. s***, what am I saying, I play you the first week.

 

Nevermind....nothing to see here.

 

EDIT: I just looked at your roster. That IP minimum would worry me with your staff. Rogers, Prior, Wang, and RJ? Is RJ going to make a start the first week?
