Mike Rizzo is awful. He traded 5 years of Felipe Rivero for 2 months of Melancon last year. Now Rivero looks like an elite closer and they have nothing to show for Melancon.
I have no idea what njh has in mind, but P2F, Orgfiller, J4L19, Pendleton, SirBJay, L54, and Cyborg would all be great, and I'm probably forgetting people. njh should have no problems finding a suitable replacement.
KingFiller, remove Dayton from your NA slot so I can add Franco.
Aside from that, I think all recent trades have been updated on yahoo and on the sheet. Please have a look and let us know if something is off.
Appreciate you taking the time to do this. I wish we'd caught it earlier, but ultimately it won't end up being that big a deal given that only very minor deals have been affected slightly.
I completely missed that.
Just sent you a PM, but the first two MiLB drafts snaked because they were the reverse order of the MLB draft. Going forward, draft order is based on previous season's finish, so there should be no more snake drafts. I'm sorry I didn't notice this earlier.
- Abom trade with JG34 has his 3rd and 4th rounders (milb) going to JG34. (4th rounder will be different)
- Givens to spittin, spittin's 2nd to BTS (2nd rounder will be different)
- To Orgfiller: Maikel Franco + milb#116 To Greenwood: milb #19 (6th rounder will be different)
- To j4l19: Austin Hedges To Greenwood: milb#90 (no change)
- To JaysBlue: Chad Pinder To Greenwood: milb#88 (no change)
- Dee Gordon for MilB 70 (should be pick 71?)
All of these trades involved picks and have been made since the order was set. I think that's all of them. So not a huge deal.
I just noticed the MiLB picks are snaking, so don't trade for any more under the assumption that they're accurate. We're going to change them, unless spittin stops in to rule that they should snake, which would be dumn.
This is kind of a problem, because a couple trades have already been made.
Three assets left to move before the draft:
pick 40 - looking for 2018 2nd or 1st round waiver
pick 53 - looking for 2018 3rd
pick 54 - looking for 2018 3rd
Pretty sure the comps were drawn because Pint is a young, solid, 6'4 righty who throws 100 with a potential wipeout curve. He has ace upside. I expected him to miss a lot more bats in the low minors though.
I'm aware of the reality of the situation, I just thought pretty everyone considered it to be more of an unfortunate outcome than a desireable one. I think the current state does a lot more harm than good. Especially when the criminal was a young teenager at the time.
So the punishment for a crime isn't just the sentence you get, it's also, in some cases, a lifetime of poverty with no hope of seeing hard work pay off, or of personal success? Commit a crime at 15 when you're not even done developing and the next 70 years of your life are ruined? I realize that this is often true, but I don't understand it.
