I just made an offer you shouldn't refuse.Bregman and Swanson are why I traded you Lindor.

You have to admit, I did cast a big net on some young talent. I have won two championships in this league, so my fan base can deal with a "bridge year."Having to carry Cervelli is killing me BTW. Any advice?

6 players traded and 6 free agents picked up in a 90-minute span today, not bad.
With the super-young strategy working out so well for boubucarow it was only a matter of time before someone else tried it. Might be harder to pull off now that the league as a whole is more prospect-conscious, but it's interesting to watch and generally good for the long-term health of the league.

I would like to point out that I didn't go total prospects (at least on bats). I won't be in this mode for more than 18 months or so I hope.

Why? You missed on some kids? Make an offer, Which way are you going?

The strong get stronger.... I would make an offer, but you already traded away anyone I'd be interested in.

In my defense, I did make you an offer last week and you said you wanted to stand pat I believe.

Same but can't say we didn't have a shot so not going to complain too much. I don't think teams tanking is unfair, but it is less fun and effects the standings.

No, you made an offer, but by the time I saw it someone else had accepted a player that you had offered me.

Dumping is always a potential issue in multi-year leagues. I question some of the individual trades but this isn't the first or last time. As long as owners don't dump and then bail like what happened last year, I can live with the outcome.
I don't want to open the can of worms that comes with voting and vetoes. This isn't a big money league and much of what makes the format unique and fun comes from watching the development of prospects.

My team looks great now from where I'm sitting. It will look even better in a couple of days. Also, most of my trades were pretty straight up when you take into account the years left on some of the guys I moved. Prince and his knees where the ultimate sell high for me. Longoria was the toughest to move. Look at my OF starters now. I love where I am. All of the positions I need (especially SP) I always get off of waivers anyway. I moved three closers, only one which will probably close beyond this year. My team was dying quickly and needed a b12 shot. I gave it.

That was me until a few weeks ago. You should. Its a great time to do that.I was operating more along the lines of having to field at least close to a full lineup. I'm OK with not having to do that, I can dump some dead weight

I'm curious to see how this strategy will play out The MLB draft has fewer sure things than any other sport, particularly when you get beyond the top tier.
B-R tracks first and second round picks by WAR and some other major stats. Here's the first round from the first year of this league. It was a decent year overall but only seven players have more than 10 MLB WAR in the 7+ years since the draft. I drafted the best player in that draft (in terms of total WAR) but Jason Heyward has been no fantasy picnic. You have a lot better chance of burning a roster slot on a Julio Borbon, Matt LaPorta or Casey Weathers.

I'll be starting with Harvey, Darvish, and Nick Martinez. Maybe Archie Bradley will get it together. Bolsinger will probably be with me still. Almost half way there already.Sure you will.

I have added Chavez, Roark, McCullers and traded for Matz and Taillon but losing Cobb, Wheeler, and Fister pretty much paralyzes my team.I'll be starting with Harvey, Darvish, and Nick Martinez. Maybe Archie Bradley will get it together. Almost half way there already.Sure you will.

We have 16 players on the DL or in the minors, five guys 30 or older, zero over 34. That seems about right.

The CBS fantasy mobile app kinda sucks. If I change my lineup for the next day it screws up the live scoring. I haven't had problems when I use a computer though.

I find The National to be a big helpDoes USA Today still publish player stats on Tuesdays & Wednesdays?

Yahoo player pool is pitiful. Cbs has faults but the only real alternative is fantrax, which is way worse than free CBS.
Also have you guys ever thought of a 34 deep or so roster with a small 3 round supplemental each year? Even a short draft seems to keep people interested and invested in our über 4 sport league. Just throwing it out there.
