Serious Biz Dynasty Year 18 - Happy Brayan Bello Week to all who celebrate (2 Viewers)

[FishTacoTuesday]

You have a set of brass balls after caterwauling over my trade

At least he actually got two rated prospects and a first. You picked up those two pitchers over the last 45 days, Houck is at best a #5 starter in a 40 team league. 
 

I imagine you just sent that ####ty offer trying to PIK him. Well played, mitt.

At least he actually got two rated prospects and a first. You picked up those two pitchers over the last 45 days, Houck is at best a #5 starter in an eight team league. 
 

I imagine you just sent that ####ty offer trying to PIK him. Well played, mitt.  

1st offf- “trying to PIK him”.  
 

I loved both SPs I moved. Right now Houck is the 2nd best Red Sox starter. Amazing poise, has 2 plus pitches and working on the 3rd. 
Jake Eder , sky is the limit . Only one other Marling minor league pitcher I’d want and it’s not Meyer. I do like Meyer’s arm but not his short stature , but he’s in the best organization for pitching.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I'm waving the white flag, this will be my last year. I suck at this format and you guys kicked the #### out of me.

 

[Eephus]

Found a partner! The trade includes my rookie 1st rounder next year. 

Future draft picks can't be traded until after the 25 man protected lists are finalized next Spring

You can reverse it.

 

[Eephus]

Trade reversed.  Ramirez is eligible to play for FDAS on Saturday

Damn . You have a team on the cusp. Really attractive roster 

 

[Aloof]

I'm not trying to piss anyone off. My team is mediocre, I knew a rebuild was coming when I took it over.  

If people don't like the way I'm going about this, I can step away

I think Baty & Meyer and his 1 was a decent haul. Both prospects are excelling and getting close . 

 

[Eephus]

A similar question came up earlier via PM.  I don't think it would be good to allow trading of future competitive balance picks because of (a) the bookkeeping and (b) the risk of somebody bailing and leaving the next owner without assets for the rebuild.

That said, I don't see a problem with trading of picks _after_ the protected lists are finalized.  The picks are effectively another protected roster slot once they're made so trading them for a protected player wouldn't give a roster size advantage to either party.  Any trades involving picks would have to involve an equal number of protected and/or draft slots going in both directions so the trade wouldn't circumvent the 25 man roster plus 4 pick limits.

This has been the rule for 2 1/2 years

 

[Spartans Rule]

FWIW, the trades aren’t why I’m out. Dynasty value is always a guessing game and what looks like a bad deal today might be a steal in a year. Look at my transaction history, I have no room to criticize anyone.

I’m out because I haven’t enjoyed this league since my 2018 collapse. Finally winning one has become an unhealthy obsession and I need to get away from it. Frustration over the best teams getting better and the Laureano suspension made me post it, but it was happening eventually either way.

 

[Kraft...]

Sparty Noooooo! 

@Spartans Rule 

 

[Kraft...]

Up to 11 IL/red crosses, oof

 

[UMjake49]

I don't see Matthew Fraizer (Pirates) in the CBS database. Unless he's already owned, I'm picking him up and will drop Raleigh.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Up to 11 IL/red crosses, oof

I have Acuna, Betts, Kershaw and  Gary Peters on the IL

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Speaking of Acuna, he’s OTB. 
 

Saves, elite starter, and hitting prospects needed. 

 

[HellToupee]

I’m kind of in transition and decided to now accept offers for Jacob deGrom 

 

[PIK95]

Speaking of Acuna, he’s OTB. 
 

Saves, elite starter, and hitting prospects needed. 

Send an offer, hope you don't get pik'd, whatever that is.

 

[PIK95]

Speaking of Acuna, he’s OTB. 
 

Saves, elite starter, and hitting prospects needed. 

We just offered you one of each.  

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

No schtick, thinking of changing my team name to exclude Acuna.  

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I love that my ace (Robby Ray) is a guy I’ve had forever, but gave up and left him unprotected. 
 

That’s this league. So many mistakes like Giolito and Bellinger, but the Robbie Rays and the finding Ronald Acuna when he was 1% owned totally even it out. 
 

@Spartans Rule this is the league, you’re staying. I’m gonna drive to West Michigan to negotiate you staying in person. Don’t expect a handjob, but it’s not out of the question. 

 

[UMjake49]

Eury Perez (Marlins, P) isn't in the CBS database, yet. I'd like to pick him up. I'm dropping Kikuchi to make room.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I’ll stick around. Worst case I can take on a partner or something, can revisit that in February.

Open to some deadline trading if anyone is interested. Plenty of young talent available, looking for impact vets for the next couple seasons.

[UMjake49]

Matt Brash (P, Mariners) does not appear to be in the CBS player pool. I would like to add him. I will drop Matt Fraizer to make room.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I was tempted, but Jorge Mateo is already filling the role of super-toolsy prospect bust with sentimental value for my team.

 

[HellToupee]

 CBS player not in the database transaction 

I want to pickup Dustin Harris 1b Texas and drop JD Davis

tia

 

[UMjake49]

Juan Yepez (1B, Cardinals) does not appear to be in the CBS database. I would like to add him. I will drop Matt Manning to make room. Thanks!

I’m still coming out to see you. I’ll send you a pm after baseball season.

As it was from day 1 of this season, Cheese has us right where he wants us.  
 

My pitching is dying a slow death, so sad. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Commish 

can I please add Dustin Harris of the Texas Rangers to my rooster. He’s not in database. 
 

Drop SP Ryu

Thanks!

 

[UMjake49]

Dirty Dusty already owned by Toupee, unfortunately. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Dirty Dusty already owned by Toupee, unfortunately. 

If you search “Harris” or “Dustin” nothing comes up. Sigh 
 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I’m still spite dropping Ryu. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Cheese is about to pounce imho. Good year 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Looks like I’m gonna blow it.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Looks like I’m gonna blow it.

I’m pulling for you. Leading most of the year and blowing it in the final week sucks.

 

[Eephus]

Looks like I’m gonna blow it.

You're almost at the IP limit but it probably won't hurt you too much

 

[Eephus]

Looks like it's going down to the wire this year.

Offseason rosters will lock for add/drops on the first day of the Divisional Series (next Thurs Oct 7).  Offseason trades are still allowed.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I’m pulling for you. Leading most of the year and blowing it in the final week sucks.

I’m guessing my team ERA the last three weeks is around 7 with very few wins. I held it together as long as I could but just one day too many most likely. Sigh.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Title race now in the hands of Reiver Sanmartin and Jake Woodford. Strange game we play.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Five year plan in year six years (although does last year count?) makes this one of my all-time favorite championships. I was an original member, then came back, and it’s easily my favorite team. 
 

Thanks to all who didn’t grab Robbie Ray in the spring draft, to whomever dropped Jorge Polanco, and to Marcus Semien (an original team member) who just mashed this year. 
 

This has to be the worst pitching staff to ever win this league. I basically had Lynn, Kershaw, and Ray with 2/3 of Kimbrel. The rest was cut, paste, and hope.

Congrats Doc. Don't let it get to your head

I didn't expect them to be better than Chris Sale

Awesome finish, congrats DD and Eephus too for making it interesting

Helluva league. Congrats to DD and Eephus on the fantastic finish!
