Damn. I need a new trade partner. Every time I give up a player, he does awesome. Josh Hamilton, Jake Peavy, James Shields. s***. LOL!

That's what happens when you've owned and traded 1/2 of the players.

Shields and Kazmir available. Looking for a SP/Bat combo in return.

700, offer sent.

Let me know if you see anything you like of mine, or from someone else. I could always go get them. LOL!

[Gom]

I can't evaluate pitching for s***. I've traded away Peavy, Sheets, and Shields. Dammit.

 

I have more pitching to trade. Anyone interested? I am super-stocked for pitchers. I need hitters. I'd be more willing to trade some of my bench pitchers for some bench players [depth] but I'll trade the big guys as well.

It's sad that we have a handful of people who are active, and the rest are just sitting there.

[26 to 6]

I agree. I think we should take all of "?"'s players and put them on waivers. Dude hasn't been active since April 1st.

It happens. Next year, instead of having more participate to make it a challenge, maybe we'll keep it smaller with only active members being invited and do it either AL or NL only.

I believe Gom is talking about trading partners.

You dont have to trade. Just active. I like the whole league thing, a player gets traded, it kills your season.

 

Personally....I think it should be money only. People are more active if there is money involved. Not talking hundreds of bucks. A small token amount. Like $25.

[TheKilo]

Shields and Kazmir still available.

 

Come on, people. Throw me a bone here.

[Gom]

Can we change the innings limit to 20? 15 is a little low for this league. That's basically four starts of five innings. If your ace is a two start pitcher, you only really need one other start to make the limit for an entire week.

 

Your thoughts?

The time to set the rules is before the league starts. Which is when we discussed it. The purpose of the minimum innings rule is to thwart the use of stacking a tean with relievers . The intent is to act as a deterent not as a negative scoring tool. After six weeks of competition, it appears to be working just fine. However, you don't change the rules during the season.

[ORS]

I've been paying attention, and there are some who are sitting SPs after they get a couple of good starts in a week. This bodes well for them in ERA and WHIP, but they are virtually giving up QS and K. The net benefit is zero.

I realize that. I also realize to change the rules is unfair after the season begins. Next season, I propose that we up the innings limit to 25. FORCE people to use their starters. Like in real life, have tough decisions in who to call up. For this reason, you would have to increase the DL spots to maybe 2, but it will spur activity.

 

Mind you, the activity isn't bad by a long shot. I just want more of it.

[26 to 6]

GOD DAMN YOU 700!

lol..Ive been trying to pick up Moose all week, I just needed to find a way to open up a roster spot. Beat me to it though...s***.

 

 

I'm surprised considering all of your s*** talking about him.

[Gom]

Eh...I had an open spot. No desire for Moose. He'll kill your whip.

Would you like to make me a trade offer for Moose?

Bastard probably picked him to piss off 26 to 6. LOL!

[schillingouttheks]

ORS...offer sent. Counter it if you would like?

[TheKilo]

Escargot - sent.

[Gom]

Should have listened to me about Moose.

[26 to 6]

Thankfully I didnt get him lol. I'm still confident he'll be pretty strong the rest of the way.

Crack kills.

Just a side note....from my dealings.

 

Kudos to Kilo, SOTK, Spitballs, ORS and Kings of Swing. You guys give some decent trade proposals, and glad to see most of you doing well in the league. If you have openings in any of your leagues, and the league is active, let me know.

 

Now that I have Arod back, I don't need Beltre. Also have an excess of slighlty above average SP. Looking to improve my depth hitting-wise or RP/SP. Please don't bother asking me for one of my starting players for people I'll put on the bench.
