BTS Community Moderator Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 The league should step in and do something. I don't get it. The thing is, he's active, sets his lineups, and responds to trade requests. All of his trades have been defensible at the very least. He's having the worst draft I've ever seen, but I think he's serious about the league, so it wouldn't be appropriate to step in. Hopefully he changes his MO when he has to cut every player he's drafted this year
connorp Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 This seems like an AG thing to do. Drafting such players with the hope that down the road he can be like: "see? GFY" lol
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I kind of get the mindset of drafting guys with good stats. But he's clearly not looking at age or level, which is a rookie mistake. Was hoping he'd clear it up after his first pick, but he seems to be all-in on the list that he's prepared. So, he blows a draft and learns the hard way. Not the end of the world. Next time, at the very least, he can just play it safe and draft from the order guys were drafted by the big clubs.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 There's really no sign that FS is acting in bad faith here and thus no reason to intervene IMO.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 You could step in by still letting him manage. Pause the draft at each pick until he agrees to draft someone with talent. Meh. I actually think he cares about his team, so it doesn't really bother me that he's shooting himself in the foot. I don't really want to set the precedent of having the league approve picks. If he started trading his MLB pieces for nothing, than I'd suggest that the league step in.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 You could step in by still letting him manage. Pause the draft at each pick until he agrees to draft someone with talent. Lol f*** that, let him sink or swim on his own. He'll learn what works and what doesn't.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 At the very least, the mistake he made was in not trading away all of his draft picks, and scooping up super late picks. He could have drafted all these same guys pretty much for free while extracting some level of MLB talent for his first and second round picks.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 FS is a legitimate owner. We've had many trade negotiations and pulled off several deals. I'm very perplexed at his draft choices, but I have no doubt that he's making them in earnest.

Are you ever recommending the league step in when Gibbers gives away good assets for picks that rot and waste away?
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I'm going to take Erick Fedde, TJS be damned.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Gibbers takes prospects. Some of these guys may never play full-season ball. I think Boxy means trading MLB players for picks, and then burning most of then every year. Frenchsoup's team is better than any Gibbers has ever assembled.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Frenchsoup's team is better than any Gibbers has ever assembled. I don't know about better, but certainly more successful.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Orgs like to hide the specs they want to keep Don't let them get to you, la potage. My first year of fantasy baseball, they accused me of intentionally trying to tank, and being so bad at fantasy baseball that I imbalanced the league. Vanland cried buckets of tears. Then I ended up winning the league and shutting everybody up. Maybe you can do the same.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 potage is masculine Not with those picks.
Frenchsoup Verified Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 lol you guys want to kick me out for drafting guys I like? What is going on with society..
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 lol you guys want to kick me out for drafting guys I like? What is going on with society.. No one said that but for your own sake you should probably stop drafting like a dummy.
Frenchsoup Verified Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 No one said that but for your own sake you should probably stop drafting like a dummy. Boxy, come on man. You're better then that.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Boxy, come on man. You're better then that. Hey, I think you can do whatever you damn please. I'm just saying that drafting the guys you draft will drive you towards being the LA Angels or White Sox of BORED.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Now I want to kick you out for mixing then and than.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Hey, I think you can do whatever you damn please. I'm just saying that drafting the guys you draft will drive you towards being the LA Angels or White Sox of BORED. Interesting... I'd trade all my picks for 5 years to get one Trout or Sale.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Meh. I actually think he cares about his team, so it doesn't really bother me that he's shooting himself in the foot.

Then you have to want BTS kicked out too Dinger.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 There's no reason to even entertain kicking FS out. His picks have been bad, but other than that he's a good owner. I don't care if he punts picks, more for us.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Then you have to want BTS kicked out too Dinger. OMG I'm so embarrassed
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Where's that Spittin guy, work is no excuse, when you're the boss... *wink, wink*
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I trust someone has e-mailed Spittin.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 OMG I'm so embarrassed Sorry but I couldn't just stand there and let Frenchsoup take all the heat
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I trust someone has e-mailed Spittin. Yes I did
