***OFFICIAL* 2023 Cakeboy League - pick or quit (1 Viewer)

[Capella]

I seem to have assembled the worst fantasy pitching staff in history.

Thanks Shuke!

 

[Frostillicus]

Oh wow I'm in 1st place what a surprise.

WILL NO ONE CHALLENGE US??!?!!?!?

 

[Bogart]

WILL NO ONE CHALLENGE US??!?!!?!?

My Worst (last place after Opening Day) to First journey is going to be one for the ages. Just you wait and see.

Between this and the Rays I am flying right now

 

[BeTheMatch]

I have the worst team ever assembled. Every night I look at my stats and wonder how every single guy is either hurt or 0-fer.

 

[Chemical X]

it’s so early, some surprises. thought it was waaaay early for someone to cut luis garcia SP. i lost a claim for him, wonder if more than were in on him. he has 7 ks thru 3 right now.

Esteury Ruiz stealing four bases in a game was not on my bingo card, but I will take it. I mean he's no Billy Hamilton (either one), but who is?

Neither was Ohtani giving up 5 ER to Oakland in only 4 IP. Glad I made that trade!!!

I hate this ****ing game.

 

[General Malaise]

If you need a 3B I have like 9 of them. I need a 2B. Let's dance.

I cut him due to having advanced knowledge of the impending TJ surgery. If you followed me at hottakesbeisbol, you would've known as well.

 

[Frostillicus]

I figured it wasn't sporting to win two years in a row and I didn't want to make the league disband due to competitive imbalance.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Anyone looking to trade? I need stolen bases.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

This is one of the worst teams I’ve ever drafted, in any sport..

 

[FDASv2.0]

This is one of the worst teams I’ve ever drafted, in any sport..

I assumed it was homage to the Detroit Tigers

 

[trogg78]

I've got a bunch of closers. I really need some Wins or Runs, or OBP. Don't try and low ball me. I know what I got.

 

[General Malaise]

Not sure what I have but I got pretty much exactly what I wanted rounds 3-11. I was forced into Freeman in 1st but he may have the highest floor of anyone. I took Riley in 2nd, which is too early for most, but I think he can return this lofty draft spot.

Rounds 3-11 got two of the most exciting young players in Jazz and Oneil, a good top three starters with high floors and maybe a breakout, and a safe/boring combo of Jose Abreu and Steven Kwan. Bryce Harper hoping he’s back in June.

Got sniped a ton in the meaty 11-18 range. I cant believe how far some recent prospects like Riley Greene and Jared Kelenic have fallen, and guys still entering their primes in Moncada, Flaherty, and Brendon Rodgers as well. I still have varying degrees of faith in all.

Thought the best value picks were Blake Snell, Lars, Tork, Tim Anderson, boegarts. Bad were Tyler ONeil, Corbin Carrol, Abrams, Harris, Swanson and every single relief pitcher..

I took Carrol right after somebody took Dansby Swanson and before somebody took Teoscar Hernandez. Willing to bet Carrol has a better offensive year than both of those guys. Care to wager on this?

Teoscar Hernandez: 235 AB/10 HR/32 RBI/3 SB/.283 OBP. Yahoo Rank: 242
Dansby Swanson: 233 AB/6 HR/26 RBI/4 SB/.360 OBP. Yahoo Rank: 137
Corbin Carroll: 207 AB/11 HR/27 RBI/18 SB/.387 OBP. Yahoo Rank: 7

Corbin Carroll: 207 AB/11 HR/27 RBI/18 SB/.387 OBP. Yahoo Rank: 7

Of course, all three of these guys are having better seasons than Trea Suck Butt Turner.

What a wasted #2 overall pick.

Carroll another bomb!

Good luck getting that OBP above .300 in Seattle, where getting on base is harder than it was for you in middle school.

Would’ve been the perfect year to finally do the AllRays shtick. :(

Is Fairbanks made of balsa wood and rice paper?

Apparently he can’t pitch when the weather drops under 50. Hilarious. When would that ever come up in October?

I'll deduct our wager amount from your 2nd place winnings. I'm coming for you.

 

[urbanhack]

Is anyone looking for a higher ERA??? I can help!!

Couldn't help me. My whip is sparkling too.

 

[Bogart]

Not sure how punting saves is going to work out all season. If anyone has an abundant of closers and wants a bat, starter or bat and starter, let me know. Willing to deal to help us both out.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Thanks for the trade offers but my team is so bad, I’ll stand pat as to not give anyone an advantage by trading with me.

 

[Bogart]

Commish: German was actually in my lineup last night and in no way was benched so that he wouldn't ruin another solid Blake Snell start. Thank you for your help in fixing this technical issue on the website.

#ThankYouShuke

Shooting for the highest ERA on record for season?
I suck
But I'm still paying attention and trying

I feel like my team is like when that guy simulated MLB The Show with an entire team of Bartolo Colons but instead it’s Javy Baez

 

[Chemical X]

trade me steals. will answer yours.

 

[BeTheMatch]

9 times out of 10, when someone is dropped, I've never heard of them and can't believe they had been on a roster. I'm sure they're great, but man there are a lot of pigs rostered in this league.

 

[Bogart]

Looking for saves. Willing to trade those sweet Ks and Wins from a starter and/or bat to make it happen.

 

[Chemical X]

next year, saves plus holds

 

[Bogart]

Seconded. Saves alone are the kickers of magic baisbol

 

[Bogart]

Picked up 15% of my yearly total in saves last night.

Picked up 15% of my yearly total in saves last night.

since i am the only person that tries to trade in these leagues, you are lucky. it took me a while to do the math on this, but i believe it benefits us both. but of course, in magic baseball, who knows? at least it’s fun.

I did the math as well and I think it works out.

I pulled off two trades this year. Pretty sure that might be a new high for me.

 

[BeTheMatch]

I'd trade. But unless I can inherit several players' season totals in whip, there's really no point.

 

[Chemical X]

yeah, at this point with almost 2/3 of all innings used, it’s very difficult to move whip. but, with cats so tight there is always chance that even a minor move can help….especially if someone you are chasing has a bunch of WHIP buster games.
