That's probably the only reason he got passed over in our spring draft. Unlike Deck though, Sonny has the arsenal to get whiffs and a very nice GB rate.
Not really worrisome, he missed a few starts early on but was typical Price in the 2nd half. His IP/start was actually higher than 2011 or 2012. Still an ace for my money.
This player must be dumber than a sack of s***, it's rather obvious that key players were shut down early to avoid unnecessary winning. It pays to tank in this CBA. If you aren't going to make the playoffs, it behooves you to be as bad as possible to get a larger signing pool and a higher pick.
His team has a few nice pieces: Votto, Desmond, Greinke, Cain, and the 1st overall pick (likely Rodon). He'll also have the 3rd pick in the Waiver Draft, which should net a nice IFA.
I just sent him an email to check if he's still interested in staying in the league. I think we need to give him at least a week or two to respond before we start looking for a replacement. But having said that, if we do need a replacement, I nominate JFaS.
I've updated the "2014 MiLB Draft Order" thread with traded picks, everything should be up to date. As always, please double-check and make sure you have all the picks you've traded for. I have locked the "2014 MiLB Draft Picks" thread, which we were using to track pick ownership before the order was finalized. All MiLB/Waiver draft picks that are traded this off-season will be tracked both on the individual roster pages and the two draft order threads.
All MiLB and Waiver Draft picks have now been assigned to your individual Roster pages. Please give them a look and let me know if anything is missing. Trading season is now open.
Congrats to the 2013 League Champ, Fearthedoc! Not only did Twist and Trout knock off several contenders en route to the inaugural trophy, but the team boasts some stud prospects, headlined by 2014 NL ROY Archie Bradley. The reign of terror may just be beginning for FTD.
Yeah, after transferring the rosters, I noticed everyone is between 27 and 31 players. With so many cuts, there should be a lot of rosterable players in the Waiver Draft next year. And that's the idea, really.
20 is a small keeper limit, so it's hard to fit an old vet in there. And the teams that have room in their 20 are generally shopping for young players.
