I’m in a 14 team 14 keeper categories league. Defending champ, in third right now but my offense is butt cheeks

 

Would you trade Corbin Carroll for Corey Seager? How do you feel about his injury risk? My other outfielders are Soto and Tucker

 

Man that's a tough one. Depends on how you feel about Corbin Carroll. I'd consider it but I think Carlos is right to ask who your SS is.

[L54]

I have Caballero and Thairo Estrada floating between both SS and 2B

[Laika]

Would not do that trade

 

A SS without any SB can be a tough own in category fantasy as you typically get 20 bags from SS

 

5x5 auction calc using Fangraphs DC ROS still has Carroll above Seager. 24th in projected dollar value vs 42nd for Seager.

 

If I am dumping CC for a NOW performer I at least want someone who projects to be as good or better immediately and helps me in all categories. Not many of those guys.

[Terminator]

Yeah good points. Seager plays down in fantasy and CC plays up. CC gets the advantage in a deep keeper due to his age too.

[Laika]

Maybe someone will give you a godfather package of geezers though? You get like, Freeman + Sale + Tyler O'Neill or some s*** like that. Maybe not them specifically but you get it. Just pump the s*** out of your 14 man projection for the next year and a half.

[L54]

Ya you guys confirmed my thinking but I wanted some other opinions. Feels like making a move for the sake of making one and I’m not going to lie Seager’s injury history scares me, even if Carroll’s isn’t squeaky clean either

I like buying old guys because they’re usually undervalued

[BTS]

Seager is now 30 and has a long injury history. Not sure he's going to age great

[connorp]

Seager really heating up. Figured he would. I have a rebuilding team and moved him and Framber for Jung, Hunter Brown, and Jackson Ferris. I had earlier been turned down on Seager for Jung 1 for 1 a few weeks back

 

Actually, right after the Jung delay news I tried the 1 for 1 thing again, but he only agreed to that deal

Nobody cares

Nobody cares

 

It was in the context of Seager trade value being discussed. Why does everything need to be about me? It’s like I’m the center of the universe or something. Maybe it’s true, idk

Nobody cares about you talking about your fantasy league teams, you left all the board leagues.

Jokes aside, mostly Spanks fault for always trying to put the spotlight on me for making jokes. Combine that with the collusion of the Admins, I didn’t stand a chance. W/e. Objectively speaking, having someone of the villain variety makes things more intriguing, but if you wanted more vanilla leagues, you got them. I’ll do money leagues, but I’ll take a couple of guys with me w/free stake in startup one next year for old times sake.

Nobody wanted you to quit, you're just a soft soft man and had a little sudden urge to run away

 

Not much of a villain!!!

My friend. I don’t consider myself a villain. Just some people take me that way. And I do like to run my mouth when my guys start clicking, so I can legit be villainousness in that way, I guess.

 

I wish I could post the whole transcript of how it all went down. If you’re going to neuter me on stuff like that, take your league and shove it up your ass lol. When guys are really fighting on there, I get that, but don’t loop me into that.

 

Anyways, water under bridge now, I’ll just respond when I don’t have the last word

I come from the school that IF you are going to talk smack, you need to be able to back it up. Your Fantasy smack talk was just that no walk.

I get excited pretty easy. Like Max when the Bluejays score 8 runs one day and think the sun is shining bright as can be. Then I realize I’m not there yet. Or did anyways with those squads. They were coming

[MikeM3]

Carroll's shoulder might be a problem. His attack angle is f***ed this year

Yeah. Those guys are ones to gamble on. If he hits the ground running again, or if gets it going, he’ll likely never be available outside of some ridiculous package. That said, I’m not buying, doesn’t have the ideal build. Neither does Mookie but there’s always outliers

Mookie has slow bat speed or EV or something. Who wants that!!

Hindsight 20/20. I think the majority of people thought Boston was cold and clever not paying that contract. Proved a lot of people stupid.

Nobody f***ing thought that

 

Everybody and their mom hated that trade / decision for Boston

********. Liar liar on pants of fire. $300m was a huge amount and it was coming at a time when people starting questioning the 10+ year deals

Why do you make s*** up?

[FantasyNewb]

I have a couple spots available on my team due to injuries (points league). The players available that have been playing well are: Bleday, Nick Gonzales, David Fry, Kerry Carpenter, and Adell. How would you rank them for the rest of the season?

[Laika]

Carpenter

Adell

Fry

[FantasyNewb]

Carpenter

Adell

Fry

 

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

“Help” is kind of a subjective word when talking about Fantasy Mush.

[connorp]

Dynasty leagues I don’t regret leaving bc of the changes from the when they were board leagues, etc but it was a little bitchy leaving the redraft, admittedly as that was never about board guys talking smack, etc

 

As a mea culpa, I’m going to do a redraft Yahoo maybe on Sat 6/1 with 1pt EST draft time. 12 team, 5x5 H2H standard. Scoring starts 6/3. $100 buy in. $600 winner, $360 second, $140 third. If one of the following is interested in me buying them a team and they keep whatever, lmk. In the order as follows for preference:

 

1) BTS- since his league

2) Spanky- Nemesis #1

3) Jim- Nemesis #2
