you could have told us you only had the highest couple players and that everyone wasn't up yet... I went to the site expecting to be able to see how bad my team is... and NOTHING!!!

 

[scoobus]

They're out

[Kraft...]

Scutaro! Holy crap A-/A at SS

 

[scoobus]

They really need to adjust how they do fielding ratings, I got killed at some positions that make no sense. Oh well.

 

[Brady Marino]

Wow, Miggy got an A-/C- grade at 3B. That's actually not bad (for him anyway)! Trout a vaccum in CF as expected. Montero A+ arm at catcher. Even though he sucks, Yunel Escobar got A/A+ range at SS, so there's that.

Pretty happy here.

 

[larry_boy_44]

6 players with 90+ speed

2 with 80+ speed

at least I can do something well... lol

OK, so I have some offers in my in box, so I'm going to post what I'm looking for in regards to players I'm looking to trade:

John Buck - I'm willing to trade him for a lower PA catcher (I need ~ 100) and an upgrade at P (quality or quantity), 1B, 3B, or OF (I have a ton of good lower PA guys, wouldn't mind having one full time OF I could use)

Starlin Castro/Jed Lowrie - I'd be willing to trade Castro for a part time guy i could pair with Lowrie or trade Lowrie straight up for 1B, 3B, or P upgrades.

Casey McGehee - decent # of backup 1B/3B PAs. Decent glove at 1B/3B and actually qualifies at 2B, too (for the desperate). Same thoughts as other positions. Would like an upgrade at 3B or 1B and am willing to include him in a package.

any of my OF - if I get a 1B (see: Castro, Buck, etc.), I could trade some OF depth for P help. If not, I'd be willing to package some reserve speed CFs with good defense (which describes basically all my OFs who weren't screwed by being defensive replacements late in games) for P or upgrades at other positions. 6 guys with 90+ speed.

Verlander - in order to trade Verlander (my only real shot in this), I'd need AT LEAST 150 IP similar to his quality and another 200 IP that are usable-ish...

McCarthy - really good 111 IP, willing to part with it for more innings that aren't as good to those of you with ridiculous #s of innings.

OK, I think that covers most everything I was getting messages about... I'll try getting back to some people about more specifics today, if not you should have something by tonight.

I don't know what the csv files are, but if you look up players by drafting them onto an exhibition team they're there.

Wow, my Jamey Carroll is A+/A+ at SS and B-/A- at 2B

downloaded the csv files and they don't have the 2012 season yet

I don't know what the csv files are, but if you look up players by drafting them onto an exhibition team they're there.

WIS offers a full download of all players into a spreadsheet (csv file format). This includes all prior seasons, but they have not yet been updated to show the 2012 seasons.

 

[the moops]

Larry - less time writing posts in here and more time responding to messages. Its not hard. If someone sends you something you think is unworkable, tell them no. If it is close, counter.

[oso diablo]

Trade:Arsenal sends C.C. Sabathia to Scoobus for Blake Beavan, Kyle Kendrick, Chris Johnson

firesale. might have let that one breathe for a few days to let more people consider the opportunity.

Maybe. It's a pretty close trade in terms of wins though, and when you factor in 100 innings of negative win production coming off my roster and 300-400 ABs worth of negative ABs my team comes out pretty far ahead. I'm skeptical I was going to get much more.

yeah, upon further reflection, i was wrong. Kendrick was better than i realized.

i have Brendan Ryan (470 PAs, great defense, bad hitter). Could package with a 3B (Chipper or Pedro Alvarez) for Wright.

Of course Kendrick gave up a million home runs the second I traded for him, but that's sort of par for the course for me this year. Both Kendrick and Beavan rebounded with decent last starts at least.

 

[Chemical X]

offence:

Batting Totals 5885 5280 168 640 90-48 957-492 31.4 .266 .333 .428 B/C $37,621,034

Of course, with 1400 IP among my piecemeal staff, I'll have an ERA around 3.90, which will probably suck hard. Typical WIS team of mine: we'll hit, but we can't pitch.

 

[oso diablo]

i'm over the $80mm salary cap. does that matter?

Agreed...Not much behind them thoughLeft side of the IF range is dog####, otherwise it's a decent defenseI feel like the lineup fits together pretty wellGetting almost 700 good innings from my top 3 pitchers is huge...Overall I can't complain at all And thanks to oso, who, I believe, picked Tazawa for me...He ended up as my closer

Do we have a league # yet?

I'm having problems setting AAA rules. No matter what I do, the AAA hitters pool of 2012 player doesn't get any bigger than 212 players. Pitchers aren't as bad because there are ~430 of them in the AAA eligible pool. I don't remember this being a problem last year. Anybody got any ideas?
