Well Tom, this looks like it will be a fun final 2 weeks

Also think it helps when your pulling trades with multiple teams at once. Much harder to orchestrate deals with team A, B, C, D together than to just target 1 squad.
-
Yeah, I agree - and you know I've been outspoken about what I felt were unfair trades in the past, but this all seems pretty legit to me. I mean, nobody would make moves if it didn't benefit them *somehow*

Agreed. I felt I was more shifting talent than anything. Could see a criticism being that I was able to keep Bryant, Harvey, Russell, but I tried to organize all my deals so that those players were not available.
-
Yeah, and you gave up some legit talent. On a whole I wouldn't call that series of moves unfair.

I agree it's better to have trades made then not. Only reason I was able to make the trades I did was because most of the guys I acquired were not keepers.

I'm in another league like that right now and it's impossible to do anything. You just sit around and wait for the auction.

I'd rather have complaints about trades than no trades! Nothing is more boring than a league where nobody trades.

Im not saying that it wasnt a good trade. I was just saying i wouldve wanted more. I didnt mean to make it sound offensive

I would guess my side seems like the light side - but check out my roster, I'm facing a tough cap situation next year. So Adams at just $3 is more appealing to me than someone who might have a ton of cap room to bid on guys.

Damn. That Tulo trade seems kinda light imo

If everyone was bidding based on true demand then I would agree. Once teams start jacking up prices specifically to cause poor keepers it is difficult to say that there is demand for a player in trades.

Unless demand really isn't "so high." if teams bid highly specifically to make a player a poor keep it doesn't create demand in trades.

If you end up winning him there's a chance you could flip him, and worst case scenario, you just drop him in the offseason, no harm done.

I liked that piece, although I do think it kind of underplayed the trade aspect. Even if you only think Castillo is worth a couple bucks, I think it makes sense to bid a bit more once it becomes apparent demand is so high.

There was a pretty good piece on the Castillo bidding on Rotographs. I agree he could be worth the money, but there is far less margin for error now. If I had the cap I probably would have bid 15 or so.
-
I wasn't going to go quitre that big on him, but I definitely raised my bids on him in other leagues after seeing this and other results. I figure if people like him that much he'll at least have trade value!

I liked him, especially if eligible in MI.

Lots of drops...I won't hesitate to drop if he doesn't pan out. Hoping he's not another Leonys Martin.

There's no sample size to determine what a player is worth, specially in this league where Miggy is going for $70. I personally figured he should be in the $30's based on what I saw from the guy and what other players with the same background are doing.

i havent seen Rusney play so i cant say what he will be worth. but is he going to play this year? is 30 games going to be enough of a sample to decide what he is worth? if teams drop him, what does he go for in auction? im just fascinated to find out!

My money is still with Soler...Hoping he gets to MLB level soon.

Well, just going by what Abreu, and Puig are going to be worth season end, and considering I saw Castillo play a lot with the Cuban Team over the years, I think $30 something is a fair price. He's not a prospect, he should be close to ready to play...

yeah, im not saying its not worth the gamble. but at these prices, i think he gets dropped more often than not this offseason

I will definitively drop him if he doesn't pan out...But with the success of Puig, Cespedes and Abreu leading the way, worth taking the gamble. Plus, if you have the cash to spare, why the hell not?

im curious to see, ottoneu-wide, how many of the teams that win Rusney this year drop him in the offseason. these prices are scary!

So...anybody else see what Soria did today? I think it might have been the worst performance by rate I've ever seen. - over 110 negative points per inning!
