Folty, you are worthless. Just once, can I trade for a pitcher and not have him instantly forget how to throw?

Oh damn, gotta check that out. Pretty upset we don't have a team named Ghastly Monsters here yet.
-
It’s a great game, spent most of multiple summers playing that game when I was a kid.
-
I hate points leagues lmao
-
Awesome. NES version still one of the best 2 or 3 baseball games ever made imo. So far ahead of its time. Why I joined this league lol.

If you have a subscription to The Athletic, Grant Brisbee has a really good article about Baseball Stars up.

Good: Sale and Polanco were worth 110 pts combined. Bad: the rest of my team combined for -7 total pts.
-
More important than swinging is you're throwing. My pitching sucks and am struggling to upgrade it
-
I might go down, but I'm going down swinging.
-
I’ve still got some quality guys and am obviously building for the future so if any other contenders want to discuss trades, let’s chat!
-
To me, Trout, while great is tough at $80. I think two or at most three teams reached out about him when he went on the trade block and I was looking to get the best player I could and it seemed to me that Judge was that guy. Severino is risky due to health but I think his question marks are the only reason a guy like him at that price would be available
-
I understand your points and was hoping to sell the guys separately but didn’t get the interest I was hoping for when I put them all, Trout included, on the trade block. I’m still new here so if there is a better way for me to announce players availability, it’s my mistake for not using it
-
I do agree that Severino has been a stud but you bought on him at his lowest possible value with no knowledge that he will return healthy so that greatly lowers his value.

that essentially ends the competition in the league for the year. You are under no obligation to the rest of us I understand but I find it hard to believe Carry On will not win this year unless another top team can pull off a similar coup. Finally on a purely selfish level, I was not aware Trout was on the table. I can promise you I would have sent a more competitive offer than the one you recieved.

I disagree about Judge. I think he is a top two round player but at 53 dollars he costs 16 more than the Ottoneu average and that will only go up. I don't think it ever makes sense to trade away the best player (if we only include healthy guys the 3 best players) and give away the loan also. If you were that interested in clearing salary you could have moved Trout, Cruz, and Sanchez in separate deals and gotten more value. That also would not have lead to a deal..

I had assumed you were making this deal for the future. However, it is still a terrible value proposition in my eyes. Given the salaries and the injury status of the guys you acquired I think a solid argument can be made that Trout for the 4 guys is completely fair. Especially given the age and recent declines of Miller and Morrow.

Anyway, I hope that helps explain my thinking on the deal, happy to discuss more and debate!
-
I had these guys on my block as looking to move and got an offer or two from teams that we went back and forth on and in the end, most of the other interest died out pretty early on or wasnt willing to give up a player the caliber of Judge.
-
And in exchange I got Judge who I think is a top 3 player in the league for a reasonable price and Severino who, if and when he is healthy, is an underpriced ace. MIller and Morrow are buy low guys who I am hoping can be healthy/good for a period of time during the year and then I can flip them long term for something else.
-
To me this trade, although it hurts my team for this year, can help me long term. Trout at $80 is tough to build around as a long term piece. No matter how good he is, 20% of a team's budget on one guy is tough. Cruz and Chapman, similarly, don't have a ton of long term value at those prices because they are aging/old and I feel like the production at least on Chapman is declining. Sanchez hurts a bit to lose but at $24 is at the upper end of what I would keep a catcher, any catcher for
-
Sorry, I dont read the message board much. I will respond now
-
I sent an email to the Padres asking them to call up Urias, though. I think he could help if they just let him play.
-
Well, it went through. This is not good for my team.
-
This is kind of exciting. The waiting. I don't know if titillated, but I might be. How can I know for sure? If I'm titillated.
-
No need to clarify. I hope everyone votes on this one, because it's going to shape the league the rest of the year.
-
Just to clarify, I don't go looking for trades to veto and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But I will veto a trade that I consider overwhelmingly lopsided or that directly hurts my chances of competing. Imo it's why the veto system is there.

I dont like vetoing trades, causes too much drama. However, I am going to need to hear some kind of explanation from Bets about the deal or that is what I will vote to do. That trade is wildly unbalanced.

Someone asked, so I'm making it public. Seven votes are needed to veto a trade.

I'm not one to veto a trade, but how the hell does that Trout trade help you, Bets?

who needs a 1b or 3b, get at me i'm looking to move one or two of them as most of my 1b and 3b are performing well!

Perhaps unsustainable numbers for Vogs so far. Plus 1B is a pretty easy position to fill. That said, who wants Goldschmidt????
-
I wondered when Vogelbach's auction would start.
-
My pitching it still, uh, not good, so I'm willing to part with Goldschmidt, Devers, Blackmon and possibly any other offensive player not named Vlad Jr for solid established or up-and-coming SPs.

Welcome new owner! Thanks for changing your name. Please trade me pitching as my team is historically bad at that so far. Cheers!

You don't have to keep that name if you don't want to
