2018 TalkSox Fantasy Baseball League -- Mike Grace Memorial League

I have a lot of offense, could potentially be looking to deal for some pitching.

[Thunder]

Sorry I missed the draft. Something came up, then I flew to Houston for an extended weekend, then I got stuck here an extra day because of the snow.

[Thunder]

Also, looking to deal an OF or a SP for a SS.

[mvp 78]

I'd rather have my staff:

Sale

Kluber

Ohtani

Paxton

Hendricks

Luis Castillo

Chase Anderson

Morton

 

I hope Bumgarner doesn't get in any off-roading accidents this year the way he did when I had him last year.

 

Bumgarner has a fractured hand.

[Thunder]

Did an ESPN draft last night with some of my college friends. 8 team league, and I am really happy about this team. Took Harper Round 1 (pick 4), Kluber round 2:

 

Yadier Molina C

DJ LeMahieu 2B

Josh Donaldson 3B

Franciso Lindor SS

Whit Merrifield 2B/SS

Mike Moustakas 1B/3B

Bryce Harper OF

Aaron Judge OF

AJ Pollock OF

Eduardo Nunez OF (but also 2B, 3B)

Kevin Kiermaier OF

Carlos Santana UTIL

Andrelton Simmons SS BENCH

Wilson Ramos C BENCH

 

Corey Kluber SP

Kenley Jansen RP

Zack Greinke SP

Masahiro Tanaka SP

Luke Weaver SP

Sean Doolittle RP

Jon Gray SP

Chase Anderson SP

Charlie Morton SP BENCH

R.I.P Corey Seager's season... At least Didi is on my team and was starting over him anyway. Still annoying to waste a pretty high pick on Seager though and have that happen.

[iortiz]

Ted, could you cancel the trade with Notorious PAPI? We are going to explore another trade. Thanks!

[a700hitter]

Israel, I always have trouble beating your teams. You pitched a 10-0 shutout against me this past week. LOL!!

[Thunder]

Watch out for the perennial contender. I'm coming for you guys. After a sluggish start, I'm riding a win streak. Currently solo 3rd and 2.5 out, after a 4-4-2 start.

My last year's team was basically the 2007 Colorado Rockies. I'm hoping for better luck this year.

[iortiz]

Thunder, this week you must manage your team man, my future depends on that jajaja

[mvp 78]

Nah, he'll be too busy helping get the football team ready to play on the blue turf.

Just read this Ted LOL! I have to admit that I was kind of lucky that week, but this week you have the edge my friend.

 

Good luck to all.

My team is hanging on by a thread. I had a few terrible weeks when I was in a pretty good position. That almost completely knocked me out of contention.

Hopefully somehow he uses “the start active players”feature at least jajaja

It’s been very competitive this year, to the point that several teams still have a chance and the positions are not definitive. MVP and Gringo have been very dominant. Gonna be very tough to beat them.

I have to beat Gringo this week to get in. Tough draw. Very tough.

[Thunder]

Despite having my worst team that I've ever had, I've managed to put myself in position. My offense has been terribly inconsistent, and my pitching is subpar. Haven't had a closer for most of the season. They kept getting traded away.

I need you to manage your team at the best of your abilities to win this week, or at very least, start your active players Thunder LOL!

Don't worry everyone. I'm sure my team will just bomb in the playoffs the same way it always does.

[iortiz]

I think you MVP, User?, and Gringo are the fav and is not even close this year.

[Thunder]

Um, it's not that I'm not starting my active players, it's that I don't have very many left.

I see my friend, don't worry, School first. Good luck in playoffs.

The regular season ends today. I still have not received dues from 2 teams.

Glad to say that for once, I'm not one of them

Playoffs start this week. There was a big battle for the final playoff spot that wasn't decided until yesterday. iortiz, Braves and my team were all vying for that spot. I needed to win my game to secure the last spot, but I had an uphill battle against Gringo. I managed a tie for last weeks game, so my buddy, iortiz and I finished in a dead tie. We had split our season series 1-1, but in the game I won the score was 6-4 and in the game won by iortiz, he ran the table 10-0. The tie-breaker went to iortiz. Good luck to my buddy and the other playoff teams.

 

Moises Mooses finished first and last year's champ, Gringo finished second. Both will get first round BYES.

 

The first round of the playoffs will pit Thunder against All Betts Are Off and iortiz against Mookie Betts.

 

Good luck in the playoffs!

Thank you compadre. Last week was cardiac since Thunder and NP didn’t manage their teams —but Thunder still won his match up— and you were very close to win vs Gringo. All season long I was in the bottom of the standings but somehow I was very lucky to clinch the POs.

 

Good luck to all teams.

I managed my team. I had to leave some injured guys in the lineup because I have no other options.

Uh I thought you didn’t have time. My bad. Your team is pretty good Thunder even with all your injury issues, you won. Your team is the reason I’m in POs, thanks man.
