Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 So is everyone who traded into the first round pleased with their decision? I traded down. Kinda wish I'd dealt #3 but at least I dealt most of my picks. Happy with that decision.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Did anyone email Jaysblue so we can avoid a long wait and subsequent temper tantrum?
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 I traded down. Kinda wish I'd dealt #3 but at least I dealt most of my picks. Happy with that decision. Yeah in hindsight you probably could have gotten a lot more for #3 than it ended up being worth. It was hard to judge though because Olivera could have signed at any moment before the draft. It was probably worth holding on to it just for that chance. There was also a guy that Yahoo probably should have had in the system...
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I wonder where Iglesias would have went if he were available.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Nope but still will do it next year with the FeatherD, as I still believe that MiLB picks are useless. I will admit that the AA rule makes it considerably different than the Fantasy Challenge league where there are 15 of Fangraphs 200 available. Definitely. A 2nd round MiLB pick landed me a good, young closer and a reunion with Buerhle.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Yeah in hindsight you probably could have gotten a lot more for #3 than it ended up being worth.

GD Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It would have been a bitch to roster Moncada for several years on the 20 though. Eh, he's worth it.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Eh, he's worth it. You really don't know that. I saw it happen with Bubba Starling, and everybody thought he was worth it.
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 You really don't know that. I saw it happen with Bubba Starling, and everybody thought he was worth it. You can always stash Moncada in a NA spot through the season. The cost would be re-acquiring the 11th bat/7th starter you dropped pre-cut to keep the spot open. I think it's worth it.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I think NJH was talking about Iglesias. Moncada would definitely be worth it too though. The kid is supremely talented.

GD Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 You really don't know that. I saw it happen with Bubba Starling, and everybody thought he was worth it. Moncada is actually good at baseball, but my point was moreso that the cost wasn't as big as I think you alluded to.
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 It would have been a bitch to roster Moncada for several years on the 20 though. Just draft him and then trade him to Gibbers!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Just draft him and then trade him to Gibbers! Gibbers is stingy. I could get a Buxton-like haul for Moncada. Boxy would lay down Harvey+ in a heartbeat.
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Gibbers is stingy. I could get a Buxton-like haul for Moncada. Boxy would lay down Harvey+ in a heartbeat. Old Boxy or New Boxy? He's a changed man..
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Dinger, I've settled on ranking you first in my power rankings. This is a great honour.
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Dinger, I've settled on ranking you first in my power rankings. This is a great honour. Are you doing the whole league? Should do write-ups for every team. Makes it fun.
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Are you doing the whole league? Should do write-ups for every team. Makes it fun. In the past we've all (or whoever was interested) submitted a 1-19 ranking to a nerd like North to compile. I'm putting that together.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Dinger, I've settled on ranking you first in my power rankings. This is a great honour. That actually is a big honour, thank you. I think SG and North are also right there, with you, NJH and Cats Ass a piece or two back. I'm probably forgetting someone, I've been drinking for 5 days straight.
TRM Verified Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 You should all know I will be voting for myself as #1.
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 You should all know I will be voting for myself as #1. Your last kick at the can in this window? How many of Haren, Dickey, Wilson, Colon and Peavy survive 2016 cuts?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Oh yeah, min has a great team too. And jaysblue has a nice core of mostly 20-somethings.
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Oh yeah, min has a great team too. And jaysblue has a nice core of mostly 20-somethings. Also, FTD. And torontofan could take a spot if his pitching staff holds up.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Gibbers is stingy. I could get a Buxton-like haul for Moncada. Boxy would lay down Harvey+ in a heartbeat. That Buxton deal you got was and still is retarded to this day.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Made my pick and sent z3ro a PM. I know I'm not in this league, but why the f*** can't you post your pick in the forum, instead of making everyone go and check to see who you picked, to update the lists?
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I know I'm not in this league, but why the f*** can't you post your pick in the forum, instead of making everyone go and check to see who you picked, to update the lists? At least he announced it this time instead of picking and not telling anyone.
TRM Verified Member Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Your last kick at the can in this window? How many of Haren, Dickey, Wilson, Colon and Peavy survive 2016 cuts? Probably one or two. Finnegan, Nola, Appel all can't come soon enough.
