Looking to make some more moves. Send me a PM if interested.
-
Jay, I want Tim Hudson.
-
I'd say though your pitching staff in the DDL league is better than my pitching staff in the FC league.

I'm actually happy with Freeman. I think he can deliver several 30 HR seasons with .900 OPS', and he's only 23 years old. You had an opportunity to land Price for Upton and it's not like I was receiving offers that blew me away for Price from any other teams. The strongest offers I had for him were from you and Andrew throughout the offseason.

The one and only Masahiro Tanaka posting and bidding thread

If I go down to a Blue Jays game, I definitely look at the pitching match ups, and the pitchers who are pitching to determine the game I go to. For example if I'm looking at going to catch a Jays game when the Mariners in town, I'll for sure look out and see if Felix Hernandez is pitching one of those games. If he is, I'm going down to that one over the other two. Also, when Josh Towers pitched during 2005, I'd try to make it down to everyone of his home starts. Now I went to many other Jays games that season that he wasn't pitching, though since he was my favourite player I tried to make it to every game he pitched. As for watching games on the road, I'll go and watch a game at any ballpark regardless of who is pitching or not pitching. Also, since when travelling, it's tough to schedule out approximately on which pitcher you want to see unless you stay in town the entire week. -
Thanks. Someone also offered me Alex Gordon + a low level prospect for Jonothan Niese and Alexi Ogando. After trading Rasmus, I may consider it, though I'm a fan of Niese and his contract.
-
Ah Liriano does come with question marks; so does Colby. It's not a guarantee Colby goes out and hits the way he did in 2013. I mean in real life, obviously Rasmus is a better player, though in fantasy I consider it a wash. I think getting Kinsler for Norris and Stilson is worth it. It's not a hefty price in terms of prospects and its not like there are many free agent second baseman available, unless I spend big on Robinson Cano which I'm sure will get close to $20 million per season when the FA market opens in our league. Right now my second baseman is Danny Espinosa. Kinsler at $13.4 M isn't bad and isn't franchise crippling per say, so he should always be movable if he produces.
-
OT Trade Question in a salary dynasty league. Would you do this trade: I receive: Ian Kinsler 14:$13.4M, 15:$13.4M, 16:$13.4M, 17:$13.4M, + Francisco Liriano 14:$8M I trade: Colby Rasmus 14: arb Daniel Norris [prospect] John Stilson [prospect] Rasmus is likely going to get around $7-8 million this season through arbitration so he'll be at the same salary as Liriano. Both only have 1 year left of control anyways, so for me it's a wash. It's tough giving up Norris and Stilson, though Kinsler is locked up for the next 4 years at $13.4 million which isn't absurd for a top second baseman. I think he'll stick at the position in Detroit, and I'm sure if he's healthy he can put up some nice numbers especially hitting in front of Miguel Cabrera and V-Mart. What do you think?
-
As long as they don't play a team like Miami or Indiana, they could likely squeeze past the first or second round, especially with home court advantage. I can't believe I'm saying this lol. I think Brooklyn is too good of a team to be this bad; the Knicks I could understand. It's fun to see the Raptors play well, though at the same time it's painful because next year's draft class is out of this world.

Boston won the World Series without a legitimate ace/No. 1 starter. -
It's a shame he's only pitching 60-70 innings per season.
-
I would as well, since Gagne's career was short lived, though in terms of their single-season performance, would you rate Kimbrel's 2012 better or Gagne's 2003? Regardless, both were incredible seasons.
-
We're only talking not even 10 years I understand comparing two players of different era's like with a 20-30 year difference.
-
Kimbrel's 2012 season vs. Gagne's 2003 season…which one do you take?
-
Yeah, if you asked me I'd also take Marshall's 1974 season over Kimbrel's season. Kimbrel is one dominant pitcher - no doubt. Though 200 high quality innings over 60 unhittable innings to me are more valuable.
-
Mike Marshall 1974 season: 15-12, 2.42 ERA, 106 games, 208.1 innings, 191 hits, 9 HR, 56 BB, 143 K's to go along with 21 saves and finishing 83 games. Just absurd lol.
-
It's kind of difficult to compare relievers over this past decade vs. the 70s and 80s, since the landscape has changed so much. Guys like Goose Gossage would come out of the bullpen and pitch 2-3 inning to notch the save. To me that's impressive since most relievers these day burn out after 30 pitches in an outing.
-
Hurl loves relievers with SP eligibility.
-
That was awful. I'm shocked he stayed the whole season in the closers role. You're telling me that they didn't have anyone else to try in the role lol?
-
Thanks. I always thought of him as a starter/swing man type of pitcher. 48 games all in relief this season and he posted solid peripherals. Johnson threw 91 in 2011. Ah yes Scott Proctor in 2006, completely forgot about him.
-
Dotel threw 97.1 innings in 2002 all in relief. Before he threw over 100 though he made some starts those seasons. Lidge also threw 94 innings in 2004 and 85 in 2003. Hardly see those IP totals from relievers these days.
-
I know relievers back in the day would throw multiple innings easily and weren't babied. Eichhorn threw 157 innings that season haha. Who was the last reliever (making no starts) to throw 100 innings or more all in relief?
-
Only 27 hits allowed in 62.2 innings - that's amazing. Kimbrel for sure has been in that discussion over the past 3 seasons. Gagne only lasted 3 years as an elite closer I believe, so Kimbrel has a good chance if he stays healthy to be one of the best relievers in baseball along with Rivera.
-
I've been bored this morning, and this idea came up in my head. Who would you say? Eric Gagne in 2003? He posted a 4.4 WAR which is pretty crazy coming from a closer. According to Fangraphs, Gagne's 2003 season was more valuable than EE in 2012 and 2013. Just can't fathom it. Was Gagne's 2003 season the best we've ever seen from a reliever? Thoughts...
