Carlos Danger

That is the Grant77 default setting when he realizes he is not winning a debate or his assertions don't hold water.. s***, I am losing this argument. Activate default response ://Poster out debating me = Troll / Apply settings

Literally no one said that.. Yet you keep perpetuating it..

So I was looking through the transaction history of a 20 Team Dynasty league I am in. In early January of 2022 there was a trade with Altuve. Lux and Civale for Altuve… That is all I could find and note it was way prior to spring training this year.

No love for Tommy Edman in the NL?

Where did I say we should panic? Having said that, every other team with even a sniff at the expanded wild card will also be going after pitching. It is always better to have internal depth which I don’t believe we do. My comment is a response to assertions made with almost certainty here pre-season about the whole rotation and Ryu. This is a baseball board, now we have a outcome and result of said assertion and hell yea am I going to talk about it.

I accept your compliment, thank you.

Guilty conscience?

Where is that pre-season thread where group A) Said we have the best deepest rotation in baseball and called anyone who didn’t agree a troll. Group Said we need more depth and only have 3 reliable starters. Group C) Said we have two reliable starters (might have been more like a poster or two vice a group) Not going to be the first on here to say I told you so ref Ryu…

I agree with the above. I also think Blackburn might be available according to MLBTR..

Well since I am the "Douche" in this whole conversation, I guess I should respond. 1. This is a Dynasty league, not a redraft. We are not, nor were we at the time of the deal at the trade deadline. I am looking to continue building sustainable winning playoff teams. I believe that when trading with guys in a Dynasty league, you should build solid long term trade relationships and not act like a used car salesman who "suckered" a customer in a one time deal, for that customer to never return again. 2. I can't really blame Connor's son for the text, it was a private text between him and his dad. Connor sharing his son's text with the whole board.. Not sure if his son knew that was going to happen. 3.Before the Carlson | Darvish trade, I was poking around about Cobb. I never once asked about Darvish. Connor's son initiated the Darvish for Carlson proposal. If Darvish is the man, and I am initially asking about Cobb, why was he including Darvish in a first offer..? Regardless, I have faith in the Danger Co analytics department. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time I have heard criticism or out right laughter about a trade I have made, only to have my side of the trade emerge as the more solid piece/s six months to a year down the road. Here are two sample articles out of an abundance of due diligence I normally do before making trades with players like those. Darvish: https://www.rotoballer.com/yu-darvish-2022-fantasy-baseball-bust/995827 Altogether, Darvish appears to be a pitcher on the decline and relying on him to be anything more than an injury-prone number three is a dangerous proposition in 2022. Cobb: https://fantasysixpack.net/2022-fantasy-baseball-alex-cobb-is-better-than-you-think/ However, as you can see below, his Statcast numbers are all covered in red. Why is Statcast so positive about him? He has more strikeouts and fewer walks but just struggles with bad luck. It would be a matter of time before his name is on the top of transaction trends in your fantasy league.

Jared Walsh hits for the cycle. I always think guys with that body type will never get the triple.. He did it though!

Sell high in Fantasy Jim!!

I have surplus SPs, IF and OFs... Looking for frequent save and or hold RPs, picks and or specs, or a combo of all. Flexible. Thanks!

100% agree with not using high end prospects for the pen. However, improving the pen should also be a priority in conjunction with additional moves..

You don't want to be the outlier... That was some fluke.. The Nationals also had two guys.. BPs are key to WS and playoffs... KC was shutdown after 5 innings, all they needed was a starter to give them 4 or 5.. Those LAD vs Houston series... The Nationals getting to the Astros pen.... The Nationals also had at least three BP guys who stepped up in the WS.. No secret the Yankees have a great pen that contributes to them being where they are... Even with injuries they have backfilled very well.. Those one run games we were winning and the playoffs is where you really need a good and deep pen..

If they like him they like him. However, as the previous poster said.. value... Look at the value of Joe Adell now vs when he was ranked the #1 prospect, and I can name many others...

I get what you are saying. However, I doubt in reality that was ever an option. If it was and you have an opportunity to have JRAM on this team, which is a win now Team, you do it, to not, would be asinine IMO.

So everyone is excited.. BUT, at the end of the day, is he going to provide more value at catcher then Jansen is now or Kirk is.... The answer is probably not.. However, he could suck and lessen his trade value... If he does do well, someone has to go... Not a bad problem to have if that is the situation, but unless they are showcasing him.. gambling on him doing well. I just don't see the upside to bring him up now.... Collins is not hurting us..

All the geniuses are poco loco…

Sets his guys up for success, brought two Teams to the WS and won one.. Not his fault the Angles can't get it going IMO. I think a big improvement on Bongos.

Not the same group there that made the Chris Archer trade anymore... Very smart group there now..

Can we replace Montoyo with Maddon?

First time we get to Witt in TO, correct?

That is the closest pitch I have ever seen in a real video that looks like from a damn video game. Hit A/X quick jerk up and to the left on the controller... Blows me away watching that...

Call me next time, I am down with that 👍
