  1. It's not the extension that makes him a valueless asset. Luis Robert is obviously still immensely valuable. It's the extension at free agent prices. Sure, if Giles signs here for less than his market value he becomes an asset. I'm not sure why we'd expect someone a year from FA to sign for tangibly less than he'd expect to receive in free agency 10 months from now though. I just don't understand what people think there is to gain by giving a rich contract to a reliever a full season before you have to.
  2. Meh, their 25-man payroll is 4th in the league at 182M according to spotrac. I don't see how that's embarrassing.
  3. Bad genes compared to the SP/position player master races.
  4. Holy f*** the relievers are ugly.
  5. Is anyone else having a hard time understanding the perception that Daniel Hudson is worth more than like 1-2M on a 1-year deal? The fact that he just got 2/11 is insane to me.
  6. Will Smith is an elite reliever that just got 3/39. I wouldn’t commit to Giles a year before I had to and forego a possible trade return to lock him up for 3/33.
  7. Cool, I've added you as a co-owner of Pendleton4life19.
  8. It doesn't make any sense for the team to pursue a market value extension with Giles. If Giles is dominant again this season, and if the team isn't in contention, then he should absolutely be traded. It's just going to be a FA contract anyway, which will make him an asset without value at the time of signing. Take the trade return, and the 40-50M or whatever and see what comes up in the offseason. If December rolls around and the team determines that the best use for that 40-50M is for an elite reliver, then offer the money to... Ken Giles. Or Dellin Betances. Or Kirby Yates. Or Sean Doolittle. Or Blake Treinen if he rebounds. We just saw this situation handled beautifully with Stroman. Instead of an extended Stroman, we have Ryu + SWR + Kay.
  9. I think last year the cut down was in march. The draft is usually only 70-80 picks.
  10. Regarding the cut deadline, would everyone be cool with making it the last day of February and just adding to the league constitution that it's the same every year?
  11. Pendleton, I transferred ownership of the team to you in Fantrax.
  12. wow, abom still a believer in Moniak
  13. I've already made a very moving and emotional plea to J4L19 to come back to us, so I suspect he'll be joining you.
  14. This would please me greatly.
  15. Entering our 5th season and we've recently migrated to Fantrax. It's a 20-team H2H 7x7 league with 25-man rosters and 12-man farms. The team finished dead last last year, but a lot of that was due to mismanagement. There are very good building blocks: Ketel Marte Marcus Semien Benintendi JD Martinez Conforto Gallo The farm is also very good, and you'd have the second pick in this years prospect draft. It would be a quick and fun re-build project.
  16. Jim, if you want to convince yourself that it's fine just turn enable adds temporarily and pick someone up from FA.
  17. I'm not opposed to changing the cut down rules, but I think it's 2-3 months too late to adopt a change for the 2020 season. I think we should also discuss moving to 26-man regular season rosters, but I've been waiting until the season starts to discuss rule changes that would be effective in 2021.
  18. Even in a very weak reliever market teams have spent 170M.
  19. Was Thaiss on the Drunks farm when you acquired him? I feel like I remember him being on their MLB roster. If he was on their farm I’ll move him down. Drunks to confirm?
  20. 2.5M for Asdrubal Cabrera apparently. It seems like he signs for less than he’s worth every offseason.
  21. Can you PM me the e-mail address you want the invite sent to? I'll retry it.
  22. You've already joined. It should be available under 'My Leagues".
  23. I have some players for sale: Hunter Pence J.P. Crawford Brandon Belt Robinson Chirinos Zack Britton (32 SV+H and a 1.91 ERA last year) Amir Garrett Looking for 2020 waiver upgrades or 2021 MiLB upgrades.
