    Larry L made the lineups?
  2. a700hitter
    That's why we made the trade. We both think it will help our teams.

    Not really. For a trade to get vetoed, it has to be either completely one-sided and/or it has to unfairly impact the competitive balance of the league. This trade is neither. If Segura finishes close to Trout in points my point will be vindicated that the trade was imbalanced. It won't matter if I lose the bet to Pal. He's a good guy, but I disagree with him on the issue. I proposed the wager to keep attention on this. As for UN, I'll give him some of the action on the bet, but the terms would be different for him. Trout had 643 points last year. What would constitute a lopsided trade 10% difference, 15% difference? A player with 10% less points would have 579 points. Only 10 hitters had more points than that in 2012. Trading players in the top 10 is not a lopsided. 15% less points would be 547 points. Only 18 hitters reached that level. Let that blowhard UN put his money where his mouth is. Let him take the Segura vs Trout bet and since he is convinced it is lopsided he should spot me 15%. He'll never go for it, because he is nothing but a blowhard.

    Put your money where your mouth is Fantasy writer.

    "The Man" ? You are such a fool.

    People have expressed their opinions. I offered to rescind the trade. I offered alternative trades if the trade got vetoed or if he wanted to rescind the trade. My offers still stand. My friend knows that I will not bear ill will against him if we rescind and go forth with the alternative. So, how am I taking advantage of anyone? Under the alternative, I get to keep Segura and I would get Trout.

    Side wager when we go head to head?
  8. a700hitter
    You are such an angry bitter person.

    The trade with Pal for Papi will help my team more than the alleged lopsided trade, because it will give my team more balance. My top 3 hitters are CarGo, Papi and Trout. On the pitching side, I have Verlander, Harvey, Lee, and Greinke. Closers are Kimbrel and Chapman. I'll ride with that.

    Not really. iortiz and I have been negotiating a trade for some time. This is what we came up with. The fact that it pissed off UN just added to the fun.
  11. a700hitter
    My friend knew that he could cancel the trade at any time. If he wants to reverse the trade, i would gladly do so. He and i this year and last year have been neck and neck in the standings. He is a very good Fantasy manager and a very smart guy, so why would he let me take advantage of him with a lopsided trade? You are just ridiculous.
  12. a700hitter
    And the trade gets processed. UN's head explodes.

    Don Mattingly is rumored to be on the hot seat. His job is reportedly in jeopardy. http://m.espn.go.com/mlb/story?storyId=9296199&wjb= Maybe the problem is that the Dodgers took on all that cancer from the Red Sox.
  14. a700hitter
    Overbay hit his 7th HR tonight and Hafner hit is 8th. WTF! MFYs
  15. a700hitter
    We can't win every game that Buch and Lester pitch. There will be an occasional stinker.
  16. a700hitter
    $10 it is.

    The Fantasy Points for Trout and Segura as the end of the games on May 19th are as follows. These points do not count in the final tally for the wager with Pal. Only points earned beginning May 20th until the end of the regular season count. Trout 29 Runs 29 RBI 8 SB 91 TB Total Pts. 157 Segura 25 Runs 20 RBI 14 SB 94 TB Total Pts. 153 Please double check these figures.

    Jerry and Don missed the play. They called it a great catch and were complimenting the CF Hicks. They didn't notice that he dropped the ball.
  19. a700hitter
    Nice catch by Nava. He has not hurt us at all in RF. This kid has made a habit of exceeding expectations.
  20. a700hitter
    Middlebrooks starting to heat up. Nice blast.
  21. a700hitter
    Are we on for the $20? Essentially, we are just wagering the entry fee for the league. The winner plays for free.
  22. a700hitter
    The Guardians are lighting up King Felix-- 5 runs after 2 innings.
  23. a700hitter
    BTW, while Trout was the # 1 player in the Opening Rankings, he is ranked 16 now versus a #4 ranking for Segura. Wow, this is so one-sided!
  24. a700hitter
    No, you are not getting what I am saying. You rarely do. I am not saying that Segura is the better player than Trout. That's not my point. My point is that he is a really good player. He is my top offensive player and he plays a premium position. Pairing him with a good pitcher and meeting 2 needs of the other team in return for Trout would not disrupt the competitive balance of the league. I made the offer of the bet to keep this issue out there with a light on it. I think the outcome will be close, and I think Segura will be the top fantasy player at his position when the year ends, and that will show that the trade would not have disrupted league balance, except to the extent that it would have improved my team and iortiz's team. That is what a trade is supposed to do. But no, there will be no sig bet. I only make a sig bet when it is a sure thing. Do you agree to the metrics beginning on Monday?
  25. a700hitter
    I'd go with Victorino, Pedroia and Ortiz at the top. I want my best hitter getting an AB in the first inning.
