WIS 2012: Back to the Future II - Draft and Season Thread (2 Viewers)

[Brady Marino]

Miggy's Trouts want to congratulate their namesakes, Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout, on making the all-star team. They'll be joined by two unlikely all-stars: Josh Reddick (who I wasn't expecting all that much from when I got him) and Justin Masterson (who sucked in real life, but has been a monster in the sim...go figure).

 

[larry_boy_44]

other than Strasburg, none of my crazy good players qualified for the All Star Team...

 

[Northern Voice]

I ended up with 4 all stars - Balfour, Votto, Jeter and Rios. 3 games behind Scoobus at the break.

 

[boubucarow]

"Yeah, maybe so" Matt Holliday's reaction to a reporters question about changing the team name. We Don't Have No Superstars has four All Stars in Jonathan Niese, David Hernandez, and Asdrubal Cabrera along with top MVP candidate in the AL. "I know there has been some pressure from the community to change the name since it isn't grammatically correct. Honestly, I didn't notice until I heard about the double negative thing. Oh wait, I think I get it. If we don't have no superstars that mean we do have superstars, right?." Good thing Mr. Holliday doesn't not hit the baseball.

as someone who just got beat by a Masterson gem, what the heck?

 

[oso diablo]

oso all-stars: Andrew McCutchen, Joe Mauer, Chris Sale, and Kenley Jansen.

 

[scoobus]

Adrian Beltre = snubbed

 

[boubucarow]

Can I request Carlos Gomez be tested?

If there is a sim correction to be had, god help me.

Up until Ricky Nolasco's last 2 starts, he was top 5 in the Cy Young the entire season. Every part of his real life stats are completely awful. He is starting to crash now though and could get pulled from rotation the minute he cools off.

Art imitates life. Nolasco is one of the most frustrating pitchers for fantasy owners. He can be in good form and have a favorable matchup and then he goes out and blows up in 2 1/3 IP. I'm glad he's a Marlin.

 

[Bogart]

Regression is going to be a ##### in the second half of the season for Larry.

 

[Northern Voice]

I wish Darvish and Anibal Sanchez were more like Barry Zito.

 

[Bogart]

Losing 4 in a row, at home, after the ASB.

Guess my team forgot how to play baseball during the break.

[Northern Voice]

Is there anyway to get a pitcher into the pinch hitting hierarchies?

what?

A.Kearns walks. The manager for has been ejected for kicking dirt on the umpire over the call. The bench coach is now running the team.

seriously? What's the difference?

Depends, who did you sign as your bench coach?Also, with the trade deadline approaching, all of the relievers are availableedro StropBurke BadenhopSteve CishekChris VolstadBrad BoxbergerI grossly miscalculated how much relief IP I would need, so yeah. Looking to improve wherever, I doubt many people need innings at this point but I thought I'd throw it out there.

 

[Bogart]

I think I am going to shtick it up a bit and have someone play all 8 defensive positions.

Adam Kennedy, I'm looking at you.

Either that, or one game where every player plays out of position. I promise to do it against another cellar dweller as not to offend or affect the sanctity of the game.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

All season I win two, lose three, win three, lose two, win two, lose two, win one, lose two, win two, lose one.

I've lost six straight now.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I blame Greco

[oso diablo]

looking to move Derek Holland for an equivalent RH SP. Just to balance out the rotation, which is lefty heavy right now.

Nice. 25 straight outs to end the game.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

I also have RP available.

Looking for a hitting upgrade at SS or 3B or a SP upgrade.

Send me a PM and we can talk trade.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Anyone up for Live?

I will be in the lobby for the next hour or so.

don't forget to complete any AAA moves before the rosters freeze on 12/12.

 

[oso diablo]

i would really like to trade for a righty SP with a salary around $4mm. Willing to offer Derek Holland (WIS salary of $3.6mm) + other pieces you might need. Holland has a real-life component ERA of 3.86. Would be excellent in a low-HR park.

Looking at pitchers like:

Fister

Samardzija

Arroyo

Anibal Sanchez

Homer Bailey

Tim Hudson

Kris Medlen

I have everyone at 100% fatigue, and plenty of pieces to choose from my roster, so can be creative in structuring a deal.

Still have several trade offers outstanding on the WIS site, but if something comes to mind, i'm all ears.

 

[Bogart]

My team is 6 games under 0.500 on the road and 20 games under 0.500 at home.

We hate our fans I guess.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

My team is 45-23

Greco's team is 12-36

 

[scoobus]

Last day to make any roster moves, get those guys from AAA activated.

 

[cheese]

The SS errors when you play Euphus are ummm... interesting. Chris Nelson has 48 himself.

 

[Brady Marino]

This deadline is a #### for guys like me who shuffle players to and from AAA with great frequency, but oh well.

That killed me last year. I hope it helps me catch you this year. I haven't brought up a AAA player since the first month of games when a ton of runs scored tired out my offense.

Agreed, that's why this last week I tried to exhaust the guys who I know will be stuck in AAA the rest of the season.

I just ran the gas tank empty on Brett Anderson, Brandon Beachy, and Andrew Miller in the last day or two.

Didn't touch my AAA guys at all
