Fantasy Baseball League II

[diony]

I have only two trades so far.

[italstallianion]

Well I've been trying to trade with you but we don't match up well. Maybe it's a sign of something if you've been trying to make trades and nobody is biting.

 

 

Does anyone know why the word "league" randomly shows up in red? I certainly haven't done any special highlighting or anything.

[Gom]

No idea why that is happening, Ital.

[suns]

If anyone has a catcher for trade....I need one.

[italstallianion]

I swear to god that I'm going to destroy whoever idea it was to put a limit on the number of starts. That's going to cost me points all season.

[Gom]

I did. It was intentional as well. This keeps people from spam-starting and building an "All-Pitching Team" which is what people do in the other league. By spam-starting pitchers, you are guaranteed winning QS and Strikeouts, no matter what else. If you get lucky, you can win one of the other pitching category and you guarantee victory in the pitching section.

 

Last year, in the finals, every day, 5 or 6 pitchers got dropped every day by each team. I took advantage of this rule all season. However, it wasn't fair, which is why I implemented it last year and this year. This forces you to build a balanced team.

[Gom]

Arod on the block. Need SP.

[Gom]

Arod STILL on the block. I've only got one offer for him...unreal.

 

If you guys want to go cheap, I'll give Aramis for an OFer.

[italstallianion]

If you want to unload him for something reasonable let me know what you're looking for.

[Gom]

I don't really like any of your OFers, maybe a pitcher or two.

[italstallianion]

That wasn't the point. My point was that you keep whining like a child demanding that people trade with you, and you end up ripping people off and winning virtually every trade that you do. People aren't going to want to trade with you if they feel like they are going to lose the deal, so one of those will have to break. Either you'll have to take a loss in order to unload someone to entertain yourself, or you're going to have to shut up and stop harrassing the other owners to trade with you.

 

Judging by the thread pertaining to the other league, this is a consistent problem with you.

[Gom]

Like Jimenez for Abreu wasn't a loss?

[rhet]

So happy I didn't trade Hughes.

Luckily, nobody wanted him.

[Gom]

One game does not a season make, Rhet.

[italstallianion]

Just to let everyone know, that Supreme Team dude offered me David Ortiz for Mike Pelfrey. David f***** Ortiz. I wanted to accept the offer just to prove to everyone that he offered it to me. Just thought that everyone should know.

[italstallianion]

And if anyone still needs some SP, let me know.

[26 to 6]

Does anyone want Trevor Hoffman?

[italstallianion]

Just to grease the wheels a little bit, everyone should update/edit/fill out their trading blocks. As it stands, 8 teams (Gom, Jedi, Fawal, Sullivan, Supreme, Suns, Dipre, and Brooklyn) have not done so.

[26 to 6]

NEED RELIEF PITCHING.

 

SULLIVAN GREEN STOCKINGS

[26 to 6]

oh, and Diony, just because I'm a Yankee fan doesn't mean I'm going to make dumbass trades just because I'd be getting a Yankee in return. If you want Anderson, you gotta do better than that.

[italstallianion]

NEED RELIEF PITCHING.

 

SULLIVAN GREEN STOCKINGS

 

 

 

I'm looking for a bat, I'd trade with you.

[diony]

oh' date=' and Diony, just because I'm a Yankee fan doesn't mean I'm going to make dumbass trades just because I'd be getting a Yankee in return. If you want Anderson, you gotta do better than that.[/quote']

 

So no Gardner for Anderson deal?

 

I'll see what i can work out.

[26 to 6]

Also looking to move Jon Lester and/or Cole Hamels

[26 to 6]

I feel like we need a list of what teams correspond to what users. Who's who?

[Dipre]

Also looking to move Jon Lester and/or Cole Hamels

 

Looking for what in return?

[26 to 6]

Mainly relief pitching (Neftali for starters). I just traded my only closer and need some saves. I'll also look to add depth to my starters and some offense if possible. Make me an offer. Sullivan Green Stockings.

[26 to 6]

Suns, trade sent. Feel free to counter.

[rhet]

It always amuses me how so many people feel insulted if they get a trade offer they don't like.

 

Turn it down or counter, but don't take it so personally. It's not as if some girl told you your dick was too small...

I'd normally agree, but there are some offers out there that are so bad and retarded that they are insulting. Heck, I got kicked out of another league because I told the commissioner to go f*** himself after he gave me what I still consider the worst offer I have ever seen. And I didn't feel like rejecting offers 3 times a week.

While I can understand you feeling frustrated that somebody else doesn't value your player as much as you do, it's not exactly a challenge to your manhood. It's just a silly game. And how much effort does it take to reject three offers a week?

 

I'd much rather a league where the owners are engaged enough to make trade offers, good and bad, than a league that is dead and uncompetitive.
