The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Nelson would actually be sloppy thirds. I traded him to NJH.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Jimmy Nelson is gun be gud. I would jump at the opportunity if I were Dinger.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Well guys Looks like it finally happened.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It's with a solemn heart that I declare the Allen Craig sweepstakes over. Boxy is the new owner, which should assure Craig's resurgence.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Well guys Looks like it finally happened. Can you all bookmark this page to make fun of me when Jimmy Nelson ends up being way better than Pomeranz? Thx.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It's with a solemn heart that I declare the Allen Craig sweepstakes over. Boxy is the new owner, which should assure Craig's resurgence. Who'd you end up going with? E: Pomeranz? damnitdinger.jpg

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Who'd you end up going with? E: Pomeranz? damnitdinger.jpg I was going to offer Craig for Nelson but I changed my mind to Pomeranz at the last second.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 That's not the way things work with players I own. I actually want Craig to work out, he was such a good hitter so recently. He's fun to own when he's going well.
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Pomeranz. Not nearly enough for Craig IMO. I don't think he's finished after one bad year. Nice move Boxy.
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 I like this for Boxy. Allen Craig is an Allen Craig type bat, and I don't think Pomz is long for the rotation with his K/BB history and the amount of names behind him.

I take this as A) you find me so irrelevant that you want Craig to succeed for a real feel good story as he propels me into 19th place or you're fibbing

Allen Craig is an Allen Craig type bat, and I don't think Pomz is long for the rotation with his K/BB history and the amount of names behind him. 3 consecutive years with a 130+ wRC+ for Craig before 2014. At just 30, he could have another 5 big years left in him.

I think we both know if he hits well, you're going to trade him to one of my competitors anyway.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 3 consecutive years with a 130+ wRC+ for Craig before 2014. At just 30, he could have another 5 big years left in him. I predict you own Craig by the trade deadline.

GD Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I was going to offer Craig for Nelson but I changed my mind to Pomeranz at the last second. I emailed you about a second late, apparently.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I emailed you about a second late, apparently. I would probably prefer Nelson in LOD, but the park and team matters here for me. Pomeranz' breaking ball is looking really sharp this spring and will benefit being out of the thin air in Denver. He's currently at 15:3 thru 9 innings this spring, so I think it's pretty likely he'll land a rotation spot. I actually like Boxy, too, so I don't really mind the prospect of losing this trade.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Sounds like collusion. Better kick Dinger.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Wow what a steal for Boxy. Craig is going to be an absolute monster.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I find it amusing that all the critics of the trade were unable to offer something better than Pomeranz, even though they knew Craig was on the block. They should be kicking themselves, more than Dinger.

KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I regret not making a play for Pomeranz or Nelson. I like both of them a lot.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I regret not making a play for Pomeranz or Nelson. I like both of them a lot. I still have Nelson.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I regret not making a play for Pomeranz or Nelson. I like both of them a lot. I'm pretty sure Jimmy Nelson isn't untouchable.

The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I probably would have moved Liriano for Craig. Boxy finally has a good hitter!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I probably would have moved Liriano for Craig. Boxy finally has a good hitter! I offered you that deal twice.
