And Rake, let’s be realistic... I count 7 players on your roster who are definite keepers at their salaries. I like my team’s chances a lot more than yours for 2021. No offense intended. I don’t doubt you have a plan. But just based on our rosters, I see more to like on my team right now than yours. Trust me to handle my team. I have won plenty of titles over the years. It will be fine.
-
I plan to trade or cut at least 5 prospects. And I see a few of my prospects as major league ready.
-
Who is tanking? I’ll bet you a beer I finish no lower than 5th. My team will be fine.
-
its the fact that you have 11 prospects already and traded away 2 of the few surplus producers you have. playing with a tanking team is not fun
-
I could be wrong and maybe I over-reacted. They are both top 50 prospects I grant that, and each to his own. the Value balance for 2021 and even 2022 just doesn't work for me. It's too late to take back my Veto . At least we're getting in some Hot Stove Heat in November. ;)
-
Rake, if you look at our trade, is this much different? Rotowire has Martin as the 11th ranked prospect Gonzalez the 26th. Adell and Pearson were ranked high last year at this time were not impressive at all in their MLB debuts. Keep in mind Stanton has played 41/222 games the past two years.

In regards to this trade, I hate it for Saratoga, but with a roster approaching $600, I don't know how much of a difference this trade makes for Winnetka. Could be wrong, but I don't think I'll veto.

I screwed up, I traded Whit Merrifield $18 for Lacey and Hancock both are 56% and 30% owned and higher salaries than Gonzalez and Martin.

Btw, in one of my other leagues I just trade Nola ($26) for Lacey ($6) and Hancock ($5). I'm curious if you guys would have a problem with that trade.

I've been Gonzalez from day one and went somewhat aggressively in all four of my leagues, Spa City sees that as well. Watch some film, Gonzalez is a hitting machine. If anyone cares to wager on who has a better ppg between Witt and Gonzalez I'll take Gonzalez.

Giancarlo has played 41/222 games the past two years. How valuable is that? Regarding the prospects, I suggest do some self scouting. Gonzalez is a future star at a skill position. He even raked in the Cape Cod league where home runs are hard to come by. Top draft picks less than a year out are way under valued. By the end of the year both of these guys will be top ten prospects.

No offense taken. But for you veto guys - if Urias and Stanton are so valuable, why no offers from you? It seems like you are just using veto to prevent me from making trades. Meanwhile I get no offers or counter offers from most of you. Not a problem worth fighting over. But it seems weird for you to complain about me not getting enough in a trade when you know you would not have offered me more.
-
Have to agree with Rake here on the trade, too much talent to give for Martin (75% owned) and Gonzalez (25%) owned. Both of which are too far away from the bigs to have value this coming season (or even 2022 with arb hike value likely). Urias and Giancarlo are two top producers at reasonable if not cheap cost control and each could command much more individually even. Way off balance IMO, sry guys but I had to cast a veto vote.
-
All teams other than Fl. Sq. did arb. I will post a msg on the board soon to find a replacement. If anyone knows someone, lets make it happen.
-
this is an atrocious trade, a team with tons of prospects who is way under the cap, gets 2 more no name prospects by trading away 2 value producing vets
-
could be worse, my other league had 4 teams not do arb
-
Do Ryan/Ventura and PTBNL plan on doing arbitration? Ryan/Ventura wasn't very active this year, so if he doesn't plan on staying, we need to know.

Ok all, I've taken over as Commish now so any thing that needs addressed let me know. Make sure you spread and spend all the Arb $$ appropriately and (*pro tip: don't forget to scroll down and hit save on each team page) have a great off season and lets hope for a full MLB 2021.
-
I can take on Commishing this league . .. NP. Best Coast Rules!
-
Moose, if you are willing to take the commish job, it is yours if everyone else is cool with it.
-
Best wishes and be well Squirrels. I would volunteer to be a co-commisioner, or The commish if needed.
-
Hey all! I am sorry to say that I am going to be bowing out of this league. I just don't have the time and need to cut back on how many fantasy teams I am doing so I have a chance to actually keep up with one. Hopefully either Winnetka can fully take over as commish or someone else is willing to help him. Thanks for a great couple of years guys and good luck in the future!

Thanks WT, I was at Kings Island all day with the family checking the score off and on, it certainly did come down to the end. It was a fun season!

I think it is pretty safe to say Congrats MLR, it was well earned. Not often does the championship go down to the last hour of the season.

I have Abreu today & then I can't get any more points, hit all the maxes! Makes lineups easy - great sprint season though.

I’m still in this race! I just need a really big finish.

0.4 points in the lineup, 62 on the bench...awesome job by me on the last week ...
-
I don't even have the highest salary on the guy. The high currently is $22. Maybe I got a deal...maybe I have a crystal ball and can see into the future and I now know that I have a major asset at the discounted price of only $15. Or maybe I was just having fun securing a small piece for the last week of a fantasy game. Who knows the ways of crazy optimists, prospectors, and baseball fools.

I'd say it has something to do with fantasy baseball being a market, with supply and demand, but an imperfect one. So if there was one week left in the season and one good pitcher on the wire that could make the difference between 1st and 2nd place, you may bid much higher compared to other situations. Teams may look at their rosters differently at the end of the year than at the start, as another example. It all depends. Also fun.

I doubt it. Who can explain the ways of the Hype God? I bid 7 myself which I knew was way too much.

Can anyone explain to me the philosophy of bidding $14 and $18 on Crochet?

I thought I put in a waiver claim on Staumont and then it went away, and realized that my bid on Barretto went on the line for Ginkel! Double fail. Oh well.
-
Just letting everyone know I am adding Josh Staumont back onto Nine's roster because he cut them by mistake. I am assuming nobody will have a problem with this.

Anybody/everybody on my trade block is available. Players not on the block could still be available - feel free to ask.
-
Kristian Robinson, Bobby Witt, and JJ Bleday are available. I am heavy on prospects and could use somebody with 2021 keeper value.
-
Last minute deals are still available.

How do you prove collusion?
