BTS Community Moderator Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 You'd be passing on the next Betances. Yeah, that's actually possible. I'm not really inclined to cut anyone from my farm for a relief prospect though. And I'm not sure Montas has the breaking ball to be truly elite.

Having C eligibility is nice for fantasy purposes, but IRL he's kind of a disaster of a player.

The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 He is a truly awful MLB player for sure. He makes for a good story though. I think we'll see a movie about it sometime.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 He makes for a good story though. I think we'll see a movie about it sometime. I can see it now: stoner washes out of baseball and works a ski lift, then quits drugs and makes his glorious comeback as a one-dimensional slugger who bounces around a few teams while winning nothing of importance and not getting a major contract at any point. You write the screenplay and I'll get Seth Rogen to start doing CrossFit for the role.

You write the screenplay and I'll get Seth Rogen to start doing CrossFit for the role. He also served as a Janitor and a parking valet, had to beg for food after running out of money while visiting a spiritual healer, had stints at a drug rehab clinic and a mental ward. Also while he was at the ski lift he slept in a tee-pee. I can see a movie about this, not saying it would be a good movie though. You can stretch and mould a couple truths is spots, but I think it has potential. Jim Morris has his own movie and has only pitched 15 innings.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Jason Grilli + 6th round MiLB to TCA for his 2nd round MiLB.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Jason Grilli + 6th round MiLB to TCA for his 2nd round MiLB. Yup. I'll drop Carlos Torres. Unless BTS wants him?
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 processed *edit* on the MiLB side
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Pretty grateful to NJH for giving me a chance to flat out bail on Puig.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 My team's dropping like flies, fun while it lasted I guess.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Looks like the moment of truth could be coming up with Garrett Richards I can't believe that after trading Tanaka I ended up with another arm that may play with a partially torn ligament looming over his head (although I guess its been another year that Tanaka has been healthy enough).
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Looks like the moment of truth could be coming up with Garrett Richards I can't believe that after trading Tanaka I ended up with another arm that may play with a partially torn ligament looming over his head (although I guess its been another year that Tanaka has been healthy enough). I'd say owning Tanaka worked out pretty well for you. Mazara is going to be a Cargo-esque monster in the very near future.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I'd say owning Tanaka worked out pretty well for you. Mazara is going to be a Cargo-esque monster in the very near future. Not hammering Tanaka, guy pitched his brains out on my team (and pretty well this year too). Its just s***** constantly waiting for the TJ to come. I guess you could say that about any pitcher, but it seems more 'real' when they are half way to a torn ligament .
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 My team's dropping like flies, fun while it lasted I guess. You're in a playoff spot and you're up 12-2 this week.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 You're in a playoff spot and you're up 12-2 this week. Oh, I know... just if these guys don't get back in time, I have no shot.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Who wants a Cutch or Blackmon?
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Who wants a Cutch or Blackmon? I'll take Cutch.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Me too (but more specifically, I'll take him instead of BTS) PM what you are looking for.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I'll take Cutch. Me too (but more specifically, I'll take him instead of BTS) PM what you are looking for. Lets do a deal
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Deadline tomorrow. No contender wants to add closer Jim Johnson? Guy has 8 holds, 10 saves since becoming closer, a 3.36 xFIP, and a 3.52 ERA.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Is it actually? It says the 28th in the settings. Not that I'd accuse you of trying to panic people into a good old fashioned Jim Johnson. Yeah, you're right. It's the 14th/15th in every other league I'm in. The 28th is really late. Have we ever had the deadline in late August?
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Man wtf happened McCarthy? He was so good fresh off the DL. I can't keep running him out there, anyone want to take a chance on him? He can't command anything. Must be hurt.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 He can't command anything. Must be hurt. He is(hip)... heading to the DL, it's messing with his mechanics.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Not sure how I've done it but it seems like despite very passive roster and lineup management, I've played myself out of a lottery position.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Not sure how I've done it but it seems like despite very passive roster and lineup management, I've played myself out of a lottery position. Betts is just too beastly.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Betts is just too beastly. Yeah it's hard to complain too hard about maybe not sucking. I wish I could have taken a bigger step forward than merely out of the lottery though. That was my hope but my team lacks depth and my drafting has gone from a strength to a weakness which is worrisome for a team in my position.
Laika Community Moderator Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Not sure how I've done it but it seems like despite very passive roster and lineup management, I've played myself out of a lottery position. Activity. Your 72 roster moves are by far the most in the league. As a result, your team is more bad than terrible. You actually have a good rotation in addition to Betts.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Is the trade deadline in this league tonight or actually on the 28th?
Laika Community Moderator Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Is the trade deadline in this league tonight or actually on the 28th? Whatever it says in the settings. I made it the latest possible date, which I think makes sense.
