***OFFICIAL*** 2018 Cakeleeg Thread - 28th round is "touch and go" (1 Viewer)

[Dan Lambskin]

Jesus Christ, this is like 5 rounds early. You trying to be Pickles II? 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Doesn’t change the fact you took him too early, second place Dan. ?

 

[shuke]

Thanks cos.  

 

[Chemical X]

@bananafish  

good deal.  let’s see if we can get up with the lead pack.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

You gotta have a lot go right to win Cake, so if you have ten guys on the DL and you're picking up Alex Cobb and Ian Kennedy as streamers you probably aren't gonna win.

no surprise, not gonna happen for me again.  those 62 innings of sonny gray and lance lynn so far are rough.  losing knebel for 6 weeks doesn’t help.  i have enough offencively, but i just can’t draft pitchers that regularly win games.

There’s a new top dog. I’m living on the air in Cincinnati. Cincinnati wRC+.

Yep my team sucks

 

[Chemical X]

I know you guys must be delerious with suspense regarding my academic future so I thought I'd drop an update in here:

I just enrolled in the full-time MBA program at Pepperdine University so it looks like my last day as a working stiff for at least a year or two will be August 14th. 

They gave me a full academic scholarship (and I didn't get into UCLA). Cheers 

I always wondered how these people earned an income during this period......

 

[shuke]

Surprised that blockbuster trade today isn't garnering more discussion.

my deal for jankowski?  i needed steals and gave up a better player i think.  jankowski went to my school too!

 

[Capella]

Surprised that blockbuster trade today isn't garnering more discussion.

Literally never heard of either player. Immediately deleted the email. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I won this ####### league last year.  I'd consider it an expert league, but we have X in here which makes it no better than a random internet league.

I've accomplished nothing,

that hurts

 

[cheese]

Carpenter not gonna let Tre finish 10th

eta: nm these team names fooling me again

 

[Chemical X]

I am trying desperately to shock the fantasy world here.  Hoping my pitching is enough and the deal for Merrifield gets me the steals I need.

 

[Chemical X]

Was gonna go Merrifield.............

6.02 - Robinson Cano, 2b  @cosjobs

 

[Chemical X]

i am looking to move cano since he is returning soon,  i don’t need him.

 

[Chemical X]

was revisiting my draft, only 1 of my last 12 draft picks is still rostered by me (lowrie).  so, from round 17-28 i have 1 player.  

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I have some good starters and need a closer. I’ll be sending out some offers post-deadline on Wednesday

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Carpenter not gonna let Tre finish 10th

Did you think I’d be that easy to kill? I’m the Steven Segal of this mother####er! 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

13th to first?  Pickles probably wins but he has a tingle of fear in his balls right now. 

Back to Back in Cake would be

 

[Capella]

Looking for some bats. Will trade pitching. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Shouldn't the payout structure be 1000>500>250?

It's 1050, 525, 175 now. 

 

[General Malaise]

Shouldn't the payout structure be 1000>500>250?

It's 1050, 525, 175 now. 

Y'all figure it out and lemme know.  I'll send out winnings tomorrow.  Send me your Pay  Pal addies if you monied.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I think you know the drill.

 

[Chemical X]

thought i had a chance, closer death kilt me and i specifically drafted what i thought were fool proof closers this year.  3rd is better than last!

 

[General Malaise]

@shuke what is your ruling here?  

I have PayPal for Dr. D and Aaaaaaron (assuming the same).   Chem, do I have yours?  We are NOT paying 4th is that right?

 

[General Malaise]

Also, if any of you want your 2019 dues withheld, let me know.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Congrats to Pickles. 

@General Malaise I confirmed my pay pal with you at Golfsino. 

I was sweating three leagues yesterday to money so I was monitoring each game and the teams in my league. 

Fun fact. I traded X Carlos Rodon for Max Muncy and they both were meh. However I started Muncy even though he was not in Dodgers lineup because I knew he’d get at least one at bat. I finished 1 RBI ahead of cosjobs, and .5 points ahead of X. Muncy hit a two run homer in the 5th.  

 

[General Malaise]

Congrats to Pickles.

Yah, that's why I said dis:  I have PayPal for Dr. D and Aaaaaaron (assuming the same).   Chem, do I have yours?  We are NOT paying 4th is that right?

 

[General Malaise]

@Capella Can you confirm the payout structure please?

 

[shuke]

Payouts: $1050/$525/$175

Here's what's been in the first post of the thread since February.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

No money to 4th. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Here's what's been in the first post of the thread since February.

Send X an extra $25 from me then. Thanks. 

 

[shuke]

When's the draft start?

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

When's the draft start?

Right after the bowl games 

 

[General Malaise]

Send X an extra $25 from me then. Thanks. 

Okay, so $500 even to you and $200 even to X?  Why did you think they payouts were different?  

Do you want 2019 dues held back?  

 

[General Malaise]

@Chemical X can you confirm PayPal with me please.  Do you want dues held back for 2019?

@Mr. Pickles I have your PayPal...do you want 2019 dues retained?  Will you ever post in the FFA again?

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Okay, so $500 even to you and $200 even to X?  Why did you think they payouts were different?  

Do you want 2019 dues held back?  

I’ll pay as I go. 

Next year payouts should be 1k>5>2fity imo. Send x $25 for this year. 

 

[General Malaise]

Paid.  

 

 

[urbanhack]

Out

Back in.

 

[Capella]

Out

Resigning before being fired. Smart. 

 

[General Malaise]

X paid

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I’ll pay as I go.

No need to reward mediocrity.  If anything I’d propose 3rd get their money back and give more to 1st place

Finishing 10th, 45 points out of third, is mediocre.  HTH

Wait, you're sending X extra money for no reason?

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Solid postseason shtick IMO
