So I may have an upcoming jamb at 1B. I traded for Mauer and Singleton with the idea that I would use one at 1b and one at Util next year. I also have James Loney who is continuing to hit for good average and obp, and Jesus Montero who has finally started to find his stroke again down in AAA.

 

I'm not in heart attack mode to trade any of these guys (with Singleton and Montero in the minors), but I thought I would put it out there in case anyone was looking for a 1B solution.

How about I rent Mauer for 5 months?

I'd love Mauer for the rest of the year, but not sure if he'd be much of an upgrade over Carlos Ruiz.

FTD - I dropped Maurer from your roster. He's owned by Gibbers.

 

Dude mb I just saw this. I was baffled because I swore I signed him, but then I refreshed and was like "Why is he not showing up? I guess the add didn't go through??"

I got the last two streaming options for tomorrow. Sorry!

 

God dammit. That Maurer vs. Houston matchup looked so tasty. I knew it was too good to be true.

Can someone make a transaction quickly so it covers up the:

 

Maurer signed, Maurer removed. Maurer re-signed, Maurer dropped

 

Boxy will never let me hear the end of that if he sees it.

UGH. At least I didn't embarrassingly botch that image post. Here's how you post an image:

Your image posting skills and thanks ratio are both out of control. Mad respect.

 

I pretty much owe it all to silvergun. I think he's responsible for 60% of my thanks. In other words, silvergun is the direct reason my thanks ratio passed yours. *EMPTIES CAN OF FUEL INTO BTS/SILVER RIVALRY FIRE*

It's because 90% of BTS posts are made because he has nothing else to do and as such, are basically garbage. All his thanks come for posting gifs that other people made or telling a troll to shut up.

What's going on in here? I can't se that s*** BTS posted, I guess I should've clicked on it. Anyhow, I'll take the time to tell TRM goood luck this Sunday as we could either come close or pillage each other, way to go mate. I'll admit, I'm nervous.

 

PS WP kick some ass please?!?!

 

Please finish TRM off. Go for the jugular. I want my lead on him to get as big as possible. It's only a matter of time before my offense comes back back down to earth so I need to take advantage now while it lasts.

AGon probably gets moved before the end of the weekend. Don't wait until it's too late only to tell me you would have paid more.

Give us an idea what we have to beat. Don't name names, just fill us in on the package.

What are you looking for in A-Gon, just wondering?

 

Our worst nightmare confirmed. Not only has Spanky's team been so good that he's no longer a future seller...... he's actually a buyer now.

What happened to you? Your posts are always so angry nowadays.

 

Cut him some slack. You would be angry too if you had to stare at an outfield of A.J. Pollock/David Murphy/Jackie Bradley Jr/Cody Ross every day.

The key to the AGon sweepstake is a big time prospect who is in the majors, close to the majors or at least far enough along to be activated. There are two offers on the table both involving a pitcher who fits the description. The haggling has involved me trying to get the most value out of the secondary pieces.

Can I make a prediction of who I think the two are, and what I think they're offering? That's not crossing any ethics boundaries right?

I won't confirm or deny what you speculate.

Lol says the guy who shows his true colours sans the gift of Mike Trout.

Okay while watching the basketball game, I just attempted to deduce the offers like I did with the grant/chappy offer in the premier league. I need to find a better hobby for my free time...

 

Eliminate: KK, Myself, Spanky -- for obvious reasons ITT.

Eliminate: Boxy, Havok, jaysfever -- all have made it clear they aren't competing this year. AGonz wouldn't suit them.

Eliminate: z3r0s -- he made it clear he's happy with his 1B situation and is even trying to trade a 1B.

Eliminate: jaysblue -- he already has a logjam of Napoli, Teixeira, Freeman

Eliminate: dinger, torontofan, BTS, North, hurl -- you can never really count dinger out, but all 5 of these guys have 1B/UTIL blocked with two 1Bs/3Bs.

Eliminate: realmin -- Cuddyer is hurt, but should be back soon. OF/UTIL of Jones/Stanton/Holliday/Rios. No room for AGonz.

Eliminate: silvergun -- 1B/OF/UTIL filled with Morneau/Jackson/CarGo/Upton/Bruce. Pretty loaded.

Eliminate: gibbers -- he could still be in play. He doesn't have a true 1B and has some good young MLB arms. None fit the bill of the "big time prospect" though. Doesn't seem like a gibbers move.

Eliminate: njh -- he has a couple arms who could fit the bill, but he has Davis/Hart. I predict he's more than content with that 1B/UTIL combo and wouldn't want to part with any of his pitching.

Lastly, eliminate: sammy -- He has votto, but has room at UTIL. It looks like he could use the offensive boost too. If it's Sammy it has to be Gray/Wacha. Neither fit the "big time prospect bill" when they were being brought up, and my gut says Sammy would keep them. I eliminate him, but he would be the 3rd guess for me.

 

That leaves: CatsAss and SpeedyGose.

 

Cats has Abreu/Gomez/Hamilton/Puig/Martin. That's pretty crowded, but Hammy is hurt, and he's shown he's not afraid to immediately flip players. The main reason I speculate it's Cats is because he has Skaggs who fits KK's description perfectly.

 

Speedy has Swisher as his 1B and some room in his OF. AGonz would fill a major hole for him. He also has Kyle Zimmer and Robert Stephenson sitting in his farm. Both are top 20 prospects.

 

Both are in win-now mode and have players who would make sense based on the info given. The secondary pieces could be anything, but I predict the offers are something like:

 

Cats offers: Tyler Skaggs + 14th overall + C prospect

Speedy offers: One of Kyle Zimmer/Robert Stephenson + 8th overall + C prospect

 

*Darkhorse hail mary prediction: BTS throws Syndergaard KK's way.

Wow, just read about Morrow losing a finger and Stroman getting the call. Stro will at some point be my first graduated MiLBer. :')

 

And to think I made an offer for Morrow a couple of weeks ago....

 

Maybe I should trade Stroman for AGon?

Looks like you're gonna come out on top I think.

June draft forced promotion updates:

 

Brandon Maurer (GP) and Aaron Hicks (Slayers) look like the only MiLB properties that even have a chance of reaching our cutoffs before the draft.
