I just perused the league, and a couple observations.

 

1. It is offensive how much better Dingers team is then everyone else. I know the season hasn't started yet, and anything can happen (especially in a H2H playoffs), but he's gotta be the runaway favourite and anything less than a championship would be a disappointment for him.

 

2. Giving the defending champ a first week matchup with Boxy is either borderline criminal, or the beginning of a hilarious tradition we should continue for the remainder of the existence of the league.

 

3. Monte Cristo division is abysmal.

 

4. War Puigs are gonna challenge in the Turkey Bacon Club. Heck of a three horse race shaping up there.

And how did you guys let Dinger get such a good team! You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Maybe we should cut Dingers keeper roster by 50% next year?

People must bend over with their pants down and just start backing up towards him.

 

I usually slip a pinky in first and it escalates from there.

I believe Dinger and I have one trade. Grandal for Ryu. f***ed me, but I was happy with that trade at the time. Grandal blowing out his knee was sort of out of my control.

 

Oh well, Ryu isn't even on his team any more. There are worse offenders!

I've given him Ortiz, Archer, and Hunter, but there are much worse offenders. Somebody look up egregious trades made in Dinger's favour.

 

Turning Crick/Buxton into Choo/Sale played a pretty significant role in the creation of his juggernaut.

I dont think anyone really got raped in a trade with him, he just drafted really well and used those pieces to improve his team. The Fernandez deal was the only one I didnt understand.

I still think the biggest headscratcher trade at the time of the trade was the Wieters for Harvey one. Obviously, some trades break a certain way after the fact, and arguments can be made for that being chance or good foresight by a manager, but that one was weird at first and continues to be weird.

Ouch.

 

My Dinger deals:

 

Hunter and 116 for 54

Archer for 14

Ortiz for Glasnow

 

The thing is, I still have pretty high hopes for Grandal.

Yeah but I turned Ryu into Anibal.

To be fair, it was Wieters and the 4th overall pick in the 2013 draft for Harvey.

 

Ahh, I misremembered. That does change it significantly (although still doesn't change the fact that there was still a clear winner of the trade, in my opinion).

In all honesty, a big part of the creation came from a strong June draft. Turning Sonny Gray and Tyler Glasnow into instant profit was huge. I've personally revamped my entire strategy around this gameplan. I probably won't take a single 2014 draftee in the next June Draft. All players that are less than two years away.

That's an easier strategy to pull off from the bottom half of the draft, to be fair.

I love Fernandez to an irrational extent, but considering what Zimmerman and Lester did in Sept/Oct, trading for Fernandez may very well have cost me the 2013 Championship.

I have two main trade philosophies in this league:

 

1) Always consider your trade partner's needs before your own.

 

2) Trade prospects for MLB talet when their value is high, preferably before they debut.

We both lost that trade in a sense but you have a longer window to work with and win a championship anyways. I have already cashed out on my half of the trade which sucks because the combined value of my return on Zimmerman and Lester is far lesser than Fernandez (unless someone like Odor or Glasnow breaks out in a ridiculous way). I'll pat myself on the back for making the Fernandez pick in the first place and hope lightning strikes again.
