Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Fair take. I'm crossing my fingers that McHugh gives me a good season in his return to the rotation though. That was an idiotic take. Zack Britton isn't better than Matt Barnes or probably even Craig Stammen but lands under dogshit somehow. I'm not sure in what universe Soto is >> Puig, but it sure isn't this one.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Is that foreshadowing your reaction when we meet in the regular season?
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 so, I should record that BTS, Boxcar trade, this s*** is happening? It will all be recorded as 'future considerations (picks)' in the trade history as none of those assets exist yet.

It will all be recorded as 'future considerations (picks)' in the trade history as none of those assets exist yet. Don’t set a precedent of trading future picks before they exist. These twerps will just have to remember to execute the trade after this year’s draft. It’s a gentleman’s agreement (between two pricks).

z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I've already set that precedent with future considerations being listed because some trades only involve it on one side. I'm NOT responsible for ensuring everything is remembered when the time comes to actually make the change, but I do record it in the history.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 Just put a trade history note that says Boxcar trades, his nuts, BTS trades, his nuts.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 yup that was the plan, just wanted to confirm that this was official. I hope you guys finish 9th and 10th respectively so this is all a bunch of minor shuffling for nothing

But it's the principle, dammit.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 There's a decent chance Boxy trades all of my picks to right the ship after struggling out of the gate, so some other owner will have to deal with the consequences.

Also lol @ the Josh Donaldson vs. Moustakas one. Soto projects for a 140 wRC+ with elite OBP at 20 years old, Puig at 126, and yeah hurr durr wRC+ isn't a real fantasy stat nerd but it's definitely a valid claim.

Puig is in a much better lineup in the second most hitter friendly park in the league. I'll say Soto is better with no issue but he's not going to be way better than Puig.

Laika Community Moderator Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 In what universe is Juan Soto way better than Yasiel Puig? How about, I dunno, every universe?
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 In what universe is Juan Soto way better than Yasiel Puig? How about, I dunno, every universe? Now you know that this is factually untrue, even if I grant you that it's true in this universe (which it isn't). There's a universe where Puig is the next Vlad Guerrero and Juan Soto dies in a car crash.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 There's a universe where Puig is the next Vlad Guerrero and Juan Soto dies in a car crash. Just checked and this is not true. There is a universe where Puig ends up in the CFL and Juan Soto dies from measles, though.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Just checked and this is not true. There is a universe where Puig ends up in the CFL and Juan Soto dies from measles, though. Not dying > dying I win Let's also not forget that BTS didn't even want Soto and was saved from his own stupidity by Dinger's stupidity. It was like watching Ruben Amaro and Dave Stewart negotiating a trade in real time.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 You're getting pretty cocky, pretty fast, for a guy who spent 7 years in last place. Was that an incorrect recollection of events?
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 Was that an incorrect recollection of events? No, but from your perspective it would have been more accurate to say: "I felt like Randy Smith watching Ruben Amaro and Dave Stewart negotiating a trade in real time."
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 No, but from your perspective it would have been more accurate to say: "I felt like Randy Smith watching Ruben Amaro and Dave Stewart negotiating a trade in real time." Very well, let it be so on the record. I'll even change that to Gord Ash with hair.
tafkasg Verified Member Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 No, but from your perspective it would have been more accurate to say: "I felt like Randy Smith watching Ruben Amaro and Dave Stewart negotiating a trade in real time." Holy s***, please hammer don't hurt em
tafkasg Verified Member Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I'm coming for that crown, Havok...
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 No *I* am coming for the crown!... in 2020.
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 My roster is set on Yahoo. I have called up David Paulino and Jake Bauers from my prospect list while cutting Brett Phillips.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 Looks like everyone has added their players on Yahoo! except for FEATHERD. I have not counted to see if everyone is at 20 players. If you added a few more on Yahoo! because you weren't sure who your cuts were, just remember to drop your cuts before the end of the month. Your 20 dudes on Yahoo as of March 1 are your confirmed 20 keepers. NO exceptions unless I am in a good mood (rare). I see at least 2 minor league rosters that still need attention as well - TCA and Orgfiller. I have not checked every MiLB player to see if there are any forced promotions, but remember that if you miss it and keep a prospect down who is over the cutoff, they are waiver draft eligible! Remember "The Jake Lamb Rule".
