Reunited with Jedd Gyorko and it feels so right.

 

FYI you'll be trading me Miller or Jerko as soon as the playoffs are over

He dinged GD for Matt Barnes on the same thing earlier, and King for Roenis Elias the same day he waived Santana. He's like a really on the ball and dedicated hall monitor. Ruthless fantasy opponent.

 

And then claimed Barnes

 

lol

I was just performing the tasks I was assigned as co-commissioner. If you weren't available to manage your roster, maybe some sort of compromise can be reached. I do feel bad about this.

 

I got back from overseas 1 week ago and honestly didn't even know he was promoted.

 

I know you guys are blood thirsty savages and won't want to make an exception because ultimately it's still my fault and lack of responsibility. However, this is a crippling blow for a prospect of his caliber so I'd still love to try and get an exception made. Perhaps some other form of penalty? Rules are rules but it's 5 days and a decently attractive name.

It's hard to when it's been enforced against others this year already, but perhaps your being away is worth an exception. Maybe a forced waiver claim (you go from 11th to 30th in priority?)

I would gladly go to 30th or be stripped of a waiver pick.

It wouldn't be fair to GD if we did that. This has actually been discussed fairly extensively in the LOD thread.

Not sure what I think about this. I was all for North returning him when I thought he hit 14 days after the regular season ended, but seeing as that wasn't the case, and GD has been hit by this, and Frag got f***ed when he made a mistake earlier, it's hard to say an exception should be made. IIRC we've consistently held everyone accountable to the rules so far.

 

On the other hand, this sucks for FTD.

Yeah FTD is the victim of absolutely terrible timing. Done in by an unexpected pre roster expansion callup. I don't think North did anything wrong here. Someone should be monitoring this. Would have been better to let the owners know earlier but I don't know when North became aware of it in the first place.

I don't really care at all how this supposedly affects me, I was likely going to drop Barnes had I realized the situation regardless. Let FTD keep Santana.

 

I just hold grudges. :) Guarantee North is planning to claim one of these guys too lol

Had to make an example out of someone in year 1, or else nobody would have understood the rule and its implications.

 

Better featherdick than the rest of is, is what I always say.

I don't think his waiver priority is high enough to get either.

It's more just about consistency. Frag wasn't given a break. You weren't given a break. FTD probably shouldn't be given a break. THIS IS THE GET IT DONE LEAGUE etc...

We do need a firm ruling on how September callups will be handled for eliminated teams though. That's a potential clusterf*** in its current ambiguous state.

Consistency isn't necessarily the priority. This is a unique format still establishing itself.

If FTD gets Santana back, I want Garcia back on principle.

 

Hmm. Can I get Barnes back because f*** North?

Consistency should always be a priority. When rules are selectively enforced and people don't know what to expect, leagues start collapsing. If FTD gets Santana back, King has to get Elias back, and whoever makes the next mistake will rightly want to get that guy back.

Haven't there been other players who have been cut under this rule? In any case, Cyborg waived Barnes without delay. I don't understand the how the mechanics of you getting him back would work. Also, I spent a good waiver pick on Barnes. That wasn't me preying on you or your players. I just manage my roster and monitor others.

Watching Garrett Richards nibble is so frustrating. You have some of the toughest stuff in baseball to square up, throw it in the zone.

Can I get Trout then? The Padres aren't putting him to use.

You would probably still be a bottom-5 team :(

Lol! Mark Trumbo is f***ing terrible, as expected. Can someone dig up some hilarious BTS quotes about how he wouldn't trade Trumbo for Lynn?

 

Ben Revere 98 wRC+

Trumbo 88 wRC+

 

And don't look now, but Allen Craig is showing some signs of life in AAA.

 

Awesome, this is a sure sign of a huge hot streak.

 

Since these posts Trumbo has gone 298/349/505 in 215 PA and put up 11/27/29 in 1/3 of a season. He's now ranked 203rd in yahoo standard leagues.

I'll trade you Andrus for him.
