Wow that's an impressive feat. The guy you lost against must have been really good.

 

You make me sick.

I'm so mad we have to wait an eternity before we get our shot against dinger. You get him week 14, I get him week 17. We will humble him.

Since I'll have gone undefeated the first dozen or so weeks, I doubt you'll be humble if you're lucky enough to beat me. The downside of having so many aces is that they might all have a one-start week in a given matchup.

I hope I get you on a week where Kershaw has a double.

I thought about taking Cron, but I know I would end up dropping him for certain prospects I'm waiting to be promoted to AA.

 

Starts with CJ, ends with Edwards?

Posted
Cron is roughly #3-5 on upper minors fringe guys I like that were available, and sadly his path is the least blocked even with Pujols.

 

Hopefully the rumours about Al were true and he's actually 47.

 

Yeah of all the minor guys available I like Cron the best. I expect playing time in 2014.

Cron was a good pick. You'll throw him in the NA slot and be able to grab another player comparable to those who were available at the pick.

 

I'm going to take a prospect with one of my last two picks and do the same thing.

Posted
Yeah. I hope no one else can decode this clue.

 

I think a lot of people have their eye on him. Everyone except for Boxy. Boxy doesn't like talented players.

Hey guys, I have a trade to run by you guys. This is in my 12 team 5x5 work league. The deal proposed is EE + Alex Cobb for Ubaldo Jimenez + Jose Abreu.

In a 12-team, Cobb is a decent guy to have and Jimenez isn't worth anything. And EE > Abreu by a lot, so I'd easily take the EE/Cobb side.

Related to the prospect adding rules defined a few days ago, what happened if someone jumps the gun and adds CJ Edwards at 5:59 am on the applicable day?

 

Maybe a Darrell would restore the player to the FA pool and let everyone have a go at Edwards again the next day?

Or what about put the player through waivers instead of a 6:00 add? With the 6:00 add it doesn't make it very fair for the guys on the west coast. Even though this way actually makes it better for me where I'm on the East coast.

No, because then whoever has the #1 waiver priority would get Edwards. It's supposed to be a free-for-all.

 

If I didn't want Edwards but wanted to prevent you or NJH (division-mates) from getting him, I'd add him prematurely and then let whoever has the top priority scoop him up.

 

If it's the time that's inconvenient, maybe changing it outright would make more sense. Although I kinda like that the time's inconvenient.

I took Micah Johnson. KingKat is up!

I really do not give a s*** about CJ Edwards and I can't understand the desperation to add a prospect with a mid-rotation ceiling to my MLB roster.

He has value to a rebuilding team though. A lot of people consider him a top 100 prospect, which is worth something. I'd flip him soon after picking him up for a pick upgrade, which does have value to me.

That's the power of the NA spot bro.

Obviously, but I doubt he'll be a factor at all this year (if ever), and he'd still have to make someone's MLB roster in Feb.

I'm starting to think we should put Edwards on waivers to start the season. Having 6 or 8 guys racing to add him at 6 am seems pretty stupid.

He won't be in AA to start the MLB season though, that's the point. And how would you regulate future guys (who are promoted in say, May)?

I took Wade Davis. Realmin is up.

Personally I'd prefer to keep prospect status locked from the off season--->MiLB draft.

 

This isn't to punish people with their finger on the prospect pulse and desire to get up early to play the player-add showdown.

 

IMO it keeps the draft more interesting and helps prop up the value of draft picks, which I think most people enjoy dealing.

 

I just feel like we have a large enough farm system that there's no real need to increase the likelihood of prospects taking up bench spots, potentially encouraging tanking in bad years (which we can all agree is un-f***ing-American!)

 

Not a bad idea. I agree that a race to add Edwards the day he comes eligible is a little weak.
