z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I'd rather commit fantasy suicide. Just close up shop and never play again.
TRM Verified Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I just signed the paperwork to relegate you to BBDL. Enjoy. There's been a lot of BBDL and LoD apologists among the DDL folk lately. It's a disturbing trend, to say the least.

AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I just signed the paperwork to relegate you to BBDL. Enjoy. That's like relegating a AAA player to the MLB (not Atlanta).
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 well you might as well give the owners all the information before they make that choice to draft someone (especially really high like one Brady Aiken) Thanks buddy. I knew you had my back.
TRM Verified Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 That's like relegating a AAA player to the MLB (not Atlanta). I can't imagine this being possible to be said with a straight face.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Wasn't meant as a dig, just the highest profile recent example. That was just a s***** situation with the Shady Astro's.
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 That's like relegating a AAA player to the MLB (not Atlanta). There's no way you actually believe that BBDL is a good league.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Wasn't meant as a dig, just the highest profile recent example. That was just a s***** situation with the Shady Astro's. I didn't take it as a dig. It was a sincere comment. Boy, I've trolled you to the point where you're constantly on your guard. Excellent.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 There's no way you actually believe that BBDL is a good league. The point about the draft is a good one though. DDL is a better league, no doubt, but the draft date is not optimal. I wish I had gotten a crack at drafting someone other than Aiken. He's been on my farm forever and still hasn't thrown a pro pitch.

AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 There's no way you actually believe that BBDL is a good league. If by 'good' you mean full of suckers and rubes, and easy to coast to 1st place, then no, it's not a good league.
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 If by 'good' you mean full of suckers and rubes, and easy to coast to 1st place, then no, it's not a good league. You just described the BBDL exactly. A league where connorp is champion and the runner up had a truly awful team.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 The point about the draft is a good one though. DDL is a better league, no doubt, but the draft date is not optimal. I wish I had gotten a crack at drafting someone other than Aiken. He's been on my farm forever and still hasn't thrown a pro pitch. No one made you draft Aiken. Most prospects bust one way or the other anyway.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 ConnorP's win is not a reflection of the BBDL. Anyone can win a dynasty, by loading up on older players and abandoning the farm. Dynasty is about building a sustainable model, where your team makes the playoffs every year.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I get your point, you're whining about something that didn't break your way. The same thing happened to me with Karsten Whitson in FC, and then I moved on with life and won the league. Suck it up, buttercup.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 blah blah blah blah flags fly forever. I would take one championship over 5 playoff berths with no championship, hands down.
TRM Verified Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I would take one championship over 5 playoff berths with no championship, hands down. Is this our destiny?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Also, Greenwood's premise is extremely flawed, because it supposes that each team has an equally stocked farm, with assets that can easily be traded for MLB contributors. Stocking a farm with prospects that people want to trade for is a task unto itself, and executing trades is a skill.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Is this our destiny? No, sir. AJ Pollock will return in September and slug me to the promised land.
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Crazy parity so far in this league. Teams 2 through 17 are all within 10 games of 0.500.
spittin Verified Member Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 Can we (i.e. not me) update the Google Doc with draft picks? The draft is only like a month away. http://www.bjmbleagues.com/#!picks/jicli Best I can do for now...
spittin Verified Member Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 Crazy parity so far in this league. Teams 2 through 17 are all within 10 games of 0.500. Yeah it's cool, my offense is really holding me back, like having no 1B hurts, real bad.
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Yeah it's cool, my offense is really holding me back, like having no 1B hurts, real bad. It could be worse. You could have started the season with Fielder as your 1B and a Lind/Paulsen platoon at Util.
spittin Verified Member Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 It could be worse. You could have started the season with Fielder as your 1B and a Lind/Paulsen platoon at Util. Tex has been about as good as Fielder, kicking myself for dropping Smoak now...
