BTS Community Moderator Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I'm 7 games under .500? Oops, 5 games over. The point remains though, it's going to be tough for you to make it. Three good teams in your way, and IMO you face three top-5 teams in the last six weeks. Buying is definitely bold.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah won't be easy - we'll see what the next couple of weeks bring. I'm looking to improve my team moving forward so not just looking at this season - looking at 2015 and 2016 as well. I like my core in place with Posey, Freeman, Arenado, Tulo, Brantley, Garcia, d'Arnaud, Minor, Miller, Ross (thank you ), and Peralta, along with some other nice complimentary pieces I have.

If he's shelved for longer than expected, it's going to be a tough hill to climb. (Don't mind us jaysblue, we're like wild coyotes talking every fringe playoff team into launching a fire sale)

(Don't mind us jaysblue, we're like wild coyotes talking every fringe playoff team into launching a fire sale) Yeah that definitely plays a huge role. Losing him for an extended period of time hurts greatly. I have stud Danny Santana. He has a lot of heart

Brought up Ross a few pages ago. I'm pretty happy with how good he's been because I shopped him hard to several teams before trading him to you and I didn't want to look like a snake-oil salesman. Guy is legitimately good and has been since returning to the rotation in the second half last year.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I'll just go ahead and brag openly about how my FC team just re-captured 1st place (also a 20 team dynasty for those of you who live under rocks). And even more impressive, that team has a better record than my DDL team. Oh by the way, I just acquired Scott Kazmir. Cheers!
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I feel like that may have been a potshot, but I assure you I deal in only the highest quality goods. ... I mostly just wanted Ross to fail for not buying it myself. Probably a lesson there. That Ross is a jerk, basically. Getting Valverde'd by you is the low point in my fantasy baseball career, man who sells snake oil.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Oh by the way, I just acquired Scott Kazmir. Cheers! http://thats-normal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/blink.gif
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 How the f*** did Kazmir turn his career around like this? Anybody could have picked this guy up for free at numerous points last year.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Man I love mortgaging my future.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 It's going to be funny when DInger faces the RealMIn in the 1st round of the playoffs and gets owned by Adam Jones
torontofan Verified Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 How the f*** did Kazmir turn his career around like this? Anybody could have picked this guy up for free at numerous points last year. Yep, I acquired him from you last year for my 4th round pick
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Yep, I acquired him from you last year for my 4th round pick Son of a BITCH. That was a regrettable non-believe on my part. Well, welcome back Scotty.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 It's going to be funny when DInger faces the RealMIn in the 1st round of the playoffs and gets owned by Adam Jones If that happens, I'm tearing it down!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I'm your disciple. Oh well, that's a decent return. You have a scary team now, so I'd say it's worth it.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Hah! s*** happens... I also traded him in FC Oh well, I've made dumber trades.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Ugh, I'm really dreading my Dinger matchup next week. I'm in the middle of a battle for the MC, and taking time out to get curb-stomped is going to suck.
torontofan Verified Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 After I said Kazmir was available I had 6 people inquire in the first 30 min.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Here are the weekly Power Rangers! We have a new #2.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Wow, I see how it is Dinger. I see how it is.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 PSA: gord does NOT speak for thehurl when it comes to potential trades. Lol.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 PSA: gord does NOT speak for thehurl when it comes to potential trades. Lol. Yes, once again, I'm taking offers and then running them back to Hurl. I'm open for negotiation but anything and everything agreed upon must be ran by Hurl. Which most of you negotiating with me know by now. And Nick, I dunno why Hurl hasn't responded to what we were talking about. I'll try again to get a response.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 It's nice to just have someone to talk to who knows what Hurl wants. I know nothing GD says is binding.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 He did send me a msg about it actually.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 It's nice to just have someone to talk to who knows what Hurl wants. Yes it is. But no, he doesn't (apparently).
GD Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 He did send me a msg about it actually. Hm, he didn't tell me. Yes it is. But no, he doesn't (apparently). Lol I've been taking offers for him for a solid day, haven't gotten any inquiries before yesterday. So yeah, we're not gonna be totally on the same page just yet, but we've agreed on some things.
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 My team is rolling right now, 7 week unbeaten streak. Big stretch coming up that I'm pretty excited about. Cats Ass this week, BTS in 2 weeks and Dinger 2 weeks after that. Stretch run baby!
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 My team is rolling right now, 7 week unbeaten streak. Big stretch coming up that I'm pretty excited about. Cats Ass this week, BTS in 2 weeks and Dinger 2 weeks after that. Stretch run baby! Probably a good time to shake things up and trade for Reyes. I need a 3B OTF and you have the pieces.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 My team is rolling right now, 7 week unbeaten streak. Big stretch coming up that I'm pretty excited about. Cats Ass this week, BTS in 2 weeks and Dinger 2 weeks after that. Stretch run baby! We'll see how excited you are around the end of this week...
