z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Welp, I'm ready to call it quits on trying to put in a good showing this year (was never going to compete, but was going to try and avoid the basement for pride-sake). I'm ready to sell all 'now' assets for futures. This includes draft picks, young players, injured players who will come back next year, or prospects (not a ton of room with everyone have a stacked farm, but I could make room for a good spect). Assets that might interest a contender. SP's - Alfredo Simon, Mike Pelfry, surprisingly RA Dickey lately. RP's - K-Rod, Pedro Strop Hitters - Joe Mauer, Ender Inciarte, Delino DeShields, Ike Davis, Jung Ho Kang (for something decent). Let me know, I'm ready to deal.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 It's funny how trades turn around sometimes. My Ryu for Grandal trade with TRM seemed like a rape job for the longest time, but now Grandal looks like a stud and Ryu has completely broken down, and the only asset I have left to show for him is Blake Swihart.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 been surprisingly good this year. And yes, some assets worth more than others. Maybe in an era only league
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Maybe in an era only league I'm not sure you understand what 'surprisingly good' means in this context. Its not like I'm billing him as an ace here. He performance has been way better this year than anyone reasonably expected, to the point he might actually be useful to a team who needs a depth starter. That is surprising.

It probably doesn't help that Puig, Gomez, and Rendon have all been banged up for most of the year. Your team does look pretty strong on the (w)hole, although your bullpen is f***ing awful. No doubt they've had a big hand in nuking your ratios.

He performance has been way better this year than anyone reasonably expected, to the point he might actually be useful to a team who needs a depth starter. That is surprising. Surprisingly good, to me, would mean that he's more than a waiver wire guy who gets streamed against really bad teams but he's not, so...
BTS Community Moderator Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I wanna know what's up with my team. I thought it was better then that. If this keeps up I'll be heading towards a lottery pick. You give up a ton of production by leaving stats on the bench and starting guys who aren't playing. Regardless of how good your team is, in a league this intensive, you're going to be bottom half if you don't bother with your lineups.

Pelf has a 'Rank' of 276 this year. Basically no FA starter who isn't an owned prospect (one who is actually starting and not a RP with SP eligibility) is +300. I'm not making any claims that he is a great pitcher, I'm not making any claims that the success is a good bet to continue, but you are being disingenuous in saying you could pluck the production he has provided off the waiver wire at any point.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Is anyone interested in Brandon Crawford? I consider him a pretty good hitter so this isn't a buy low situation. He's a solid SS, curious what I could get for him.
BTS Community Moderator Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Wow, with the way North has been pimping Pelfrey, I expected actual decent performance. Guy has a 4.48 xFIP and projections still have him as a 5 ERA guy. Goddammit North.

TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Pretty sure North was joking brotato. You think joke is in his programming? PS. Did you catch Appel's 91 pitch 6K, 0BB complete game last night?
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 You think joke is in his programming? PS. Did you catch Appel's 91 pitch 6K, 0BB complete game last night? No but he needs moar strikeouts
TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I'll give the Pelfrey owner a 1 pick upgrade (not round...one MiLB pick position) if we never have to see his name again. I'll do the same for several other players.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 No but he needs moar strikeouts I have an account again, but it's borrowed and I can't loan it out (sorry King, you know I would). Corpus Christi is my go to morning watch now. The fun to watch hitters are gone (Kemp, Aplin and Correa...Teoscar and Moran remain, but prove more and more that they are just a guy), but the pitching is fun with Appel, Musgrove, Hader (even Devenski has been interesting albeit old).

Are you a Hader fan?
TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Are you a Hader fan? Bill yes, Josh not sure. 100% guarantee he's a reliever as he's all fastball.
Laika Community Moderator Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 Bill yes, Josh not sure. 100% guarantee he's a reliever as he's all fastball. 99%* *Bartolo
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Bill yes, Josh not sure. 100% guarantee he's a reliever as he's all fastball. Yeah that's pretty much my expectation but I was advised to hold on to him. If nothing else he should be pretty close.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I own Hader in two leagues and I consider him very fringy. Probably not a dude.

TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 TCA wanted my Wood badly and he finally took it like a man. Wood for Krush Davis and Rafael Soriano.
