Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Lol, who was in the farm? Off the top of my head: Archie Bradley, Wil Myers, Christian Yelich, Noah Syndergaard, Jon Gray, Frankie Lindor, Aaron Sanchez, Jorge Alfaro, Yordano Ventura, Tony Cingrani, David Dahl, Kevin Gausman, multiple 1st rounders, the #2 waiver draft pick for 2015, and some other s*** I'm probably forgetting.

A lot of those guys have seen their value plummet. Lindor can't hit, Sanchez looks like a reliever, Cingrani is awful, Alfaro has had K/BB issues, Bradley had a bad year etc... In a league with no salaries, I'll take the established major league talent every time over the big prospect.

I would have been looking at a lower-middle of the pack finish.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Both of you go look up Wil Myers' year. eewwwwwwwwwww ps Jon Gray shoulder troubles el-oh-el
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Archie's value has taken a real hit too, and Gausman has been pretty pedestrian. I would have been looking at a lower-middle of the pack finish. I ditched Archie at the perfect time! Now if only I did that with every other prospect I've owned.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Yep that's the only reason I'm holding on to him. I might also move him in the offseason. I'll be expecting the inevitable PM. I should re-name my team "the trash heap"
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Boxy, if it makes you feel any better, I lost 197 games in FC last year and I'll finish with 206 wins this year. Persevere my friend; relevance may not be as far away as it seems. I'm not down about things. I am pretty excited about my team going forward. I'd rather be where I'm at now than the guys finishing 11-14 ish. Sorry to you guys who needed me to play spoiler. I have failed.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Sigh. I suppose OT and Matt Harvey might combine to give him ten or so more category wins. I will make you proud Nikolai.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I'll be expecting the inevitable PM. Lol they'll definitely be coming.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I ditched Archie at the perfect time! Now if only I did that with every other prospect I've owned. You have no idea how much I hate the D Bags organization. Im really not expecting him to amount to anything until he gets the hell out of there, ala Skaggs and Bauer
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Man, I feel like the matchup between BTS and Silvergun should be behind a pay wall, though BTS has taken more of a defeatist attitude lately. I'm rooting for Andy, NJH and FTD.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I'm rooting for FTD for the repeat!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I think it's pretty cool that the TBC and Monte Cristo heavyweights are going at it in the 1st rd.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I think it's pretty cool that the TBC and Monte Cristo heavyweights are going at it in the 1st rd. I love it. Rivalry match to kick things off.
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 DDL playoff preview, late 80s/early 90s style! http://videobam.com/ugMcv I gave BTS a break this time, haha. e: Bam #teamSG LOL the million dollar man for Dinger, so perfect
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 That's pretty jokes lol, Ted Dibiase baby!
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I'm rooting for Andy, NJH and FTD. I'm rooting for FTD for the repeat! I love you guys. I will try not to disappoint.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Damn I'm so excited for this s***! I will actually be heartbroken if jaysblue beats me in round one.

BTS Community Moderator Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I finished 9th last year, was pretty f***ing lame. Actually I looked at last year's standings and was reminded I only lost the division by 3.5 games after leading most of the year and got annoyed all over again! Now show the MC some respect and rock the sandwich avatar.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 The Cheesesteaks are the only division with 3 playoff teams. Too bad we also have a guy with a .200 W% this year.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Here are the changes in winning percentages from last year to this year. The most improved team goes to Twist and Trout. The biggest decline in win % was Burrito Boyz. So don't worry Boxy, you didn't finish last in this! *Twist and Trout 0.105 *The WAR Puigs 0.092 *Los Osos Blancos 0.088 *London Slayers 0.085 *Triple Hawpe Brewed! 0.069 *The Lyon Tamer 0.069 *(insert clever name) 0.052 *Taijuan On! 0.032 *The True Cardinals 0.027 *The Bryce Is Right 0.021 *The Butt Stallions 0.018 *BALCO Pharm Team -0.004 *ISO Horny -0.031 *B.Inge Drinking -0.060 *Georgia Peach -0.062 *Gryffindor -0.073 *Bye Week -0.082 *A 2nd Leg To Stanton -0.100 *Kat Khrushes You! -0.122 *Burrito Boyz -0.125
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 The Cheesesteaks are the only division with 3 playoff teams. Too bad we also have a guy with a .200 W% this year. Where do you think all the wins came from? Jesus?
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Where do you think all the wins came from? Jesus? That's a good point, check out this breakdown against you: THB -- 25-3 2LTS -- 22-5-1 T&T -- 17-7-4 I still can't get over how you almost beat me the second time around.

So you're saying it's Boxy's fault I didn't make the playoffs.... 25-3 and 22-5-1 to the 8th and 7th seeds.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Good season, guys. http://i.imgur.com/f6DcEe4.jpg Any guesses what TAJW is short for? There's Always Jesse Winker
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Hector Noesi (one of my PD stats specials) with another quality start. I needed to counter NJH's four two-starters and am content with what Noesi and Turner came up with.
