A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

Yeah. I'm feeling pretty cheap right now.

At least we finally came to a trade agreement that involved actual players. Hypothetical, but it still counts.

Good point. Maybe some day we'll actually make a trade!

[Fearthedoc]

So I'm guessing North displayed arms from both BTS and my teams to offer in a package for Votto?

[Fearthedoc]

Semi-related: I really hate being involved in multi-team deals. They almost always break down, and unless you're the middle-man you're left with no idea if/when the deals you agree to will actually go through.

 

This is why I feel no guilt if I ever go behind the middle man's back.

I don't think it was Votto.

Dinger and I cut North out of a 3-way he engineered last offseason, lol.

Nah, I was packaging Votto with one of your arms for a different player.

 

But after learning yesterday that NJH was getting Votto I moved onto using an arm as a centrepiece for someone else.

I'm just kicking myself for not agreeing to those deals on their own... was getting Chris Archer for Matt Davidson lol. Shouldn't have waited for the other parts of the deal to materialize, since that three-way component was so good.

[BTS]

Still shopping Morneau, looking for a SP now, 5 way trades preferable.

 

Surprised you're having such a hard time moving him. Guy has two more years at Coors, and will probably put up pretty serious numbers.

[Laika]

If you were packaging Votto, then it pretty much had to be Tulo. That or some player who hasn't been floated at all, but that's pretty unlikely considering there would only be like, 10 names.

SVG is just too shrewd these days.

Yeah it was Tulo. I don't think anyone's getting Tulo, it was impossible to agree to terms with Jaysblue even though I was willing to overpay and Tulo's supposedly available.

figures!

[jays_fever]

I sent you something

[torontofan]

Does anyone use Tap-A-Talk mobile app for pro boards. If so how the f*** do you find our board?

I don't think our board is on that, it once was IIRC but not anymore.

[GD]

Yup. It's pretty stupid.

[Orgfiller]

Tbh, I really don't mind the regular computer layout on my phone, I find it's just as easy to navigate through, and it's much better for PM's and handing out thanks, which everyone loves. Might be annoying if your phone isn't touch screen or your screen is not big/you have large fingers like I do.

[Boxcar]

Oh wow, what a shocker.

[BTS]

Lamentably he's only under contract for 1 more year with Col, but Steamer likes him to repeat most of his great 2014.

 

$9 million mutual option for 2016 that they'll probably pick up though.

[BTS]

Wow, for me Votto > Tulo. PRetty surprised Votto + good SP couldn't get it done.

[jays_fever]

Funny part is he sends out memos claiming he's almost reached a deal and people should get an offer in before its to late.

[BTS]

Can we get a mod to delete the last two pages before North and jaysblue have to meet at Yonge and Bloor?

[Laika]

Wow, for me Votto > Tulo. PRetty surprised Votto + good SP couldn't get it done.

 

How could you argue that Votto is better than Tulo? I just fail to see any angle on that one.

It was supposedly more than that too

[jaysblue]

Yup, North had an offer on the table, then pulled back his original offer, coming in with a lesser offer. Plus, all the players he was mentioning were from other teams and when involving third parties, it makes things more complicated.

This is going to be a bloodbath lol.

[jaysblue]

I disagree. Votto has been pretty fragile over the last three seasons as well. I prefer Tulo who plays a premium position over Votto anyday.

[jaysblue]

Me vs. North and Spanky. Bring it on

[BTS]

I guess I just have more faith in Votto getting over his thigh problem than Tulo turning in healthy seasons going forward. It seems like when players start going down the road Tulo is on, things don't really ever get better.

[Abomination]

Arguing about Votto's fragility while talking about Tulo doesn't seem wise.
