Serious Biz Dynasty - Eephus is year 18 champion - League is full for 2026 (13 Viewers)

[HellToupee]

I REALLY wish we had five extra roster spots between draft and opening day. For speculative pitchers and minors guys mostly. I am starting to hate the lack of day to day activity in this league. Just sayin.

Day to day activity will pick up shortly.

Are we there yet?

@HellToupee any of those four guys would get a deal done.

Ok.

 

[HellToupee]

Looking for an OF and able to move P . Not advertising to get raw dawged by pik. Looking for a mutually rewarding transaction. Can be vets , can be prospects

 

[BeTheMatch]

Would anyone have any interest in starting a dynasty league with a draft starting ASAP? Could we get 12 guys between Cake and Pie and Serious Biz?

Is it Yellowstone themed?

First place! Enjoying it while it lasts I think I'm only about 4 Outfielders away from competing

Projected standings from Fantrax (These are just based on current active lineups)

Spoiler

1. HellToupee 83
2. (tie) Sparty 82
2. (tie) Dr. Detroit 82
4. Rodg 80
5. NV 78
6. Eephus 75
7. Pik/Goat 72
8. Kraft 70
9. ZP 66
10. RnR 45.5
11. Relentless 36
12. Cheese 10.5 (current lineup is illegal)

I doubt the actual standings will be that close but it would be a lot of fun. Should be tighter at the top than the last couple years at least.

 

[PIK95]

I REALLY wish we could add 3-5 IR spots next year. It's all luck deciding which hurt guys to drop and what not. Most importantly, it's annoying and kills our motivation.

Royce Lewis lasted two ABs

[PIK95]

We currently have eight injured guys, on top of the ones we recently dropped, as we start this glorious season. Good luck everyone.

Please don't get hurt today anyone!!!

 

[PIK95]

I jinxed Devers apparently. He's hurt now too. These "athletes" are soft. Glass Joe would have given them a beating if they were in punch out.

 

[PIK95]

Unfortunately with all these injuries we have, we are probably gonna drop a top fifty prospect or solid hurt guy. Hit me up if you want to trade us a good RP or vet hitter for like Kyle Teel or something.

 

[FDASv2.0]

No one injured on my team, but I guess we're just built different.

I feel ya. It's almost impossible to field a competent team and carry minors guys in this league. We may end up going back to full rebuild mode. It's like the NBA here when you are caught in the middle.

 

[Eephus]

We have 18 man benches

Saves plus holds makes us have to carry all these extra pitchers to compete. Before, everyone only had two or three good closers, now it's the wild west.

Mad dashes to the wire for mediocre closer candidates on bad teams felt a lot more wild west than this. Now I just get RP I actually like.

PIK, you're only carrying three RPs

That's a huge problem, yeah. Part of why panic is setting in. And all the injuries. And Max...

 

[Eephus]

Verstappen?

No, the crap Braves pitcher you pawned off on us. He didn't get out of the 1st today.

 

[Spartans Rule]

No, the crap Braves pitcher you pawned off on us. He didn't get out of the 1st today.

At least they pulled him early and saved you some damage. Phillies let Nola keep getting drilled.

True, lol. Poor Nola.

No race to the waiver wire?? Times have changed

Brutal stretch @HellToupee somehow I know you'll still contend though

 

[PIK95]

If anyone has a pitcher they will trade for David Bednar, our patience is wearing thin.

It's always been hard to trade RPs in this league even before adding HLD.

Wonder if that jinx will work like Dr D's on the come curse on NV

It went both ways because his last alias is banned again

We are gonna cut him. Just figured he's young enough where someon may still want him before the waiver fight. We never should have protected him....

HAPPY JACKSON HOLLIDAY DAY TO THOSE THAT CELEBRATE!

 

[FDASv2.0]

it's me. i celebrate.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I think this Caballero guy might just be Wander Franco with a beard and a fake passport. Whatever, I'll take it.

12 standings points in one day! #onthecome

update?

Not great, bob

 

[PIK95]

Its been a fun week. V Scott and J Walker got sent down as they deserved. Now add Merrill Kelly and Bryan Bello to Gavin Williams and Baz who have been chilling on injured all year. Luckily we picked up Spencer Turnbull and he's been dominant. Oh wait, he's getting sent to the bullpen for a senior citizen replacement. If there is ever a year when I quit fantasy sports, this may be it. FML

 

[PIK95]

Astros score eight early, HUNTER BROWN goes five, gonna get a W!

Maybe not...

 

[Northern Voice]

Fantrax having issues?

 

[PIK95]

Oh look. More injuries.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Yeah, hard to stay competitive when half your offense is on the IL

Five injured spots next year would make this league Serious FUN.

Everybody has injuries and could use IL slots but that's not the point.

The current roster rules are better for competitive balance for exactly the reason Sparty mentioned. If you want to compete, you face decisions about dropping prospects and injured players in order to field a lineup. This is less of a priority if you're rebuilding.

This puts two thirds of the league in a perpetual rebuild every year imo. We don't want to rebuild again, but when all these injuries keep coming its not even worth trying to win.

With tongue in cheek.

We've all got injuries, but somebody still has to win. Navigating them sucks and requires making tough decisions but it can be done.

Agreed. Right now the wire stays fairly strong throughout the year. Tough cuts become someone else's opportunities.

I made the decision to temporarily go with little/no hitting bench to keep my prospects and injured guys. Gimme 5 IL spots and I get to keep spamming out games. Not sure that makes it easier for others to compete. (Still in favor of game limits if Fantrax ever starts doing them right).
