  1. I say give the keen new guys a chance to join one of these leagues and show their stuff. No point in twisting the arm of someone already in two leagues.
  2. I was counting myself, as a supporter of my idea, to gloss up the numbers.
  3. Better not be true. As a former Expos employee, he's obligated to hate everything about Jeffrey Loria.
  4. It's like nobody ever heard of trade deadlines. I knew it wouldn't fly. Too many guys planning on being in last place, I guess. Oh well, at least I had a couple supporters this time around. Better than last time I suggested it.
  5. It'll never pass through the entitlement generation though. They seem to feel that 'a real dynasty league' means you can have a krappy, inattentive owner that wallows in last place year after year, until enough of those 1st round draft picks click at the same time. Personally, I think everyone should have a little incentive to try to build a good team all season long.
  6. And if we replace three teams each year, then we have a reallocation draft, so the three new teams get to draft from the player pool of the three teams, to keep it a little more exciting for new entrants.
  7. How about the BB Invitational. Would be cool if we cycled out the bottom three teams every year, to make room for new winners, and guys from other boards who want to get in on this. That way, to build a dynasty, you would have to remain moderately competitive each year to keep your team (kind of like real baseball).
  8. I can't believe I'm going to be admitted into a league without a poll.
  9. Having 12 prospects is great if everyone has the same strategy. But for people who want to have an amazing farm system, at the expense of the MLB club, or for those people who would rather have multiple 2nd or 3rd tier prospects instead of a handful of blue-chippers, it doesn't work. I think 25 prospects is the perfect amount. One for each spot on the roster. Nobody is going to force you to have that many, and in terms of trade, I doubt you'll be spending a lot of time checking out Deck Mcguire. Just have your trade partners highlight their more important minor league prospects if you aren't familiar with them. Generally, I don't look through every milb prospect somebody has if I'm trying to trade with them. More often, they pitch me a prospect or two.
  10. It's tough enough to fill a 20 team league, without limiting it to past champions. The only way you could really make an elite league would be to reach out to other forums, and get their bests to participate.
  11. This list was created to pick the most elite, active owners? And TRM is on the list? I mean, he's alright, but active? Come on. Even he'll admit he's pretty inconsistent.
  12. Looks good. Can we hurry up and get 20. I'd like to draft next week.
  13. Not as impressive as his signature move, the Atlantic City avalanche.
  14. I love Price, but if the Jays don't want to gamble with a 7-year-contract, no point in sending him an insulting offer. Still, Jays could have called him and explained their position.
  15. I'm thinking of switching over to Koodo. Prices are pretty good, and they use the same network as Telus (since they're owned by them), so I'm thinking the coverage should be a lot better.
  16. Wind still stinks. Been with them for too long thinking they'll get better, but long distance call quality is terrible, plenty of dead zones all over the city.
  17. I would have signed Navarro for $4 milion, but I think he wanted more playing time, which is something we couldn't promise him.
  18. ~$4 million seems pretty expensive for a guy who should be a backup. Colabello has good spilts, so I would think that Smoak is fairly redundant. I guess it's alright to have him come in and relieve EE and Cola a little, given age and injuries.
  19. I have infinitely more faith in Colabello's ability to hit than Rosario outside of Coors. That coupled with Rosario's poor catching skills and inability to catch a knuckler, and he's totally redundant.
  20. Yeah, I was really worried about his financial future before this deal.
  21. Best use of GIF I have witnessed on these forums.
  22. 1) ERA is not a good measure of pitching ability. 2) Hutchison actually had a 5.57 ERA. Despite this, we went 18-10 in his starts. 3) My point is not that Hutchison should be in the starting rotation. My point is that the offense is so good, we can win even with mediocre pitching. I would rather we went out and acquired Chavez+Happ+some other average guy than one David Price at $25 million for 8 years. We really don't need another Vernon-Wells albatross eating 20% of the team salary for the next six years.
  23. Guys, the offense is so good, we don't really need aces. We just need guys who can keep the Jays in the game. Give up four runs in seven innings, and that's good enough. Hutchison was our worst starter last year, and the Jays went 18-10 in his starts.
  24. Yeah, when Vance Worley was in Pittsburgh, he looked great. And then he left Pittsburgh and....hmmm...... Anyways guys, relax. No we don't have an Avery-Glavine-Smoltz-Maddux rotation. We have one good pitcher, and four average guys. But with the offense this team has, if we can limit the other teams to 4 or 5 runs, we should be winning most games. Having an ace pitch a shutout is just overkill.
  25. I think that's the worst possibility. I'd much prefer we traded them this year if we're going to let them walk after the end of the year. We'd get a far more significant return than two compensation picks if we traded them away now.
