LOL at you being invited to a DDL streetfight.
-
f*** that. You just know that ******* would hit me with a chair or something just as I'm about to throw jaysblue into oncoming traffic.
-
So me and Boxy vs. Gibbers and jaysblue Yonge and Bloor tomorrow at midnight?
-
Yeah, I've contributed to bringing the league great shame. I'm going to stop arguing now. Unless someone else says Matt Shoemaker is waiver draft fodder.
-
I think our deal was fair. You got two good assets that you put to excellent use, and I got a guy I'm comfortable rolling with as an SP 5 or 6, who has the potential to be better if he maintains his play from this year. I like taking fliers on guys like this.
-
Well I don't actually believe you're stupid enough to think a mid round pick is more valuable than Shoemaker. You probably shouldn't have said it though.
-
Lol, so mid round pick > Chacin > Shoemaker If you wouldn't move a mid round pick for Shoemaker, you should just quit the league. But like I said, I think you were talking out our ass to defend your buddy when you posted earlier.
-
I'm now likely going to lose both to a guy rolling with Ondrej Pavelec and Karri Ramo. Is baseball back yet?
-
The Leafs winning is bad enough. Them torching Lundqvist and likely costing me the week in fantasy is pretty much unbearable.
-
So, back on topic, who wants to roster crafty lefty Jason Vargas past the cut?
-
Actually, you should probably trade him to jaysblue for a pick. Unless of course jaysblue was talking out his ass.
-
As you should. That would be a wise move.
-
A guy who I'd never roster past a cut, but would take easily over Jhoulys Chacin in 2015.
-
You sure?
-
Has Chacin ever even had a season that would rank him as a top-300 player in our settings? I have a hard time wrapping my head around him being anything but a guy you stream on a Sunday.
-
FWIW, I think jaysblue is just sticking up for his buddy. He's generally pretty good at this.
-
I've really gotten away from taking inferior players just because they're younger. Miller has good stuff, but he was replacement-level in our league this year while Shoemaker threw 136 innings with more than 5 K/BB (+ a great playoff start).
-
IMO Miller vs. Shoemaker depends on where your team is in the standings. As a team that wants to win next year, I'll take Shoemaker who I see as being more bankable. If I'm rebuilding, I probably dream on Miller's potential. Maybe.
-
Eww, I wouldn't consider trading him for any of those guys.
-
Oh I'm not worried about your team - I'm just stating that conviction that Shoemaker is garbage, and an inability to see that he's a fair bit more valuable than Ryan Vogelsong is the type of analysis you would expect from a guy who averages ~45 games under 0.500 per season.
-
Well that might explain why you're like 90 games under 0.500 in two years.
-
Well... that's probably not true, and he'd be your best pitcher.
-
No I think I definitely paid a fair price for Shoemaker and you got ripped off for Myers.
-
I understand selling him now if someone is willing to offer a price that reflects his potential, but you need to get a very good player in return. Two of the three relevant pieces going to Gibbers were acquired by Z3r0s for f***ing Matt Shoemaker.
-
Myers is 24 next year. He's only 4 years away from being 28, and over the hill.
