I think about 3 of you turned down Russell Martin in a cupcake trade a month or 2 ago lol

[melanimal_old]

Lol at the latest yahoo update on Swanson saying he won't be ready for the bugs for another year plus or so.

Not sure if serious. He's coming up in September or starting the 2017 season at worst.

He is no Alex Bregman. There is no doubt if the draft got held again, that Alex Bregman would go #1.

Said the Blue Jays last year

bro im talking about fantasy baseball. I had the best pitching in this league last year and sucked ass. Bacon has some of the best pitching this year and he sucks ass. Fact is I still have the best reliever combination in this league and Colome is probably one of the most valued players in this league because he is a top closer with the SP option. The sad thing is I almost picked Phelps up, but Bacon decided to jump on my bandwagon, but hey Bacon was my inspiration for the reliever stack. Anyway Edwin Diaz has a chance to be an insane reliever, im going to give him a shot.

Hence my initial point..you should stick with playing only RPs. Your starters are trash and aren't good enough to balance out the ratios of your RPs to give you decent overall numbers.

Lol @ best pitching staff in the league last year. Lol @ bacon having the best staff this year. He has the third worst ERA sitting at 4.17. You're talking out your ass.

brb in first round of playoffs and bats go cold. Have such a **** staff that you can't rely on them. Aw **** bye

son you know nothing.

[saaltydog]

Mel always has it all figured out.

He's talking in name. I have the staff that was projected to do the best and it's not close. I'm flat out stacked in that respect. But baseball is a funny game and never works as expected and a lot of the pitchers I have who shouldn't have struggled did struggle, especially early on.

They've calmed down a bit and settled in but we still haven't seen this staff at full potential. It's definitely there and you *******s are gonna have to deal with it eventually.

I can keep all 4 of my aces (Felix, Wainwright, Darvish, and Julio) and be primed again next year as the overwhelming favorite as the best pitching staff.....without even considering the draft for that matter.....and hope performances normalize back to where they belong as the aces that they all are.

[saaltydog]

You're pitching staff was highly over rated before the season started. It was a house of cards. You're seeing it's full potential. The best years of Wainwright/Felix are behind them. Teheran is pitching way over his head.

The only one worth anything next year can't and won't help you this year, Darvish.

Oh good...another one of these suckers.

I just went and looked at Chrallmor's staff

Porcello
Harvey
Bauer
Mengden
Fulmer
Hamels
Nola
Salazar
Walker
Rodon


10 guys and only 2 of them (Hamels and Salazar) have any value

Your opinion is invalid you still think Wainwright and Felix are good

[krazy33]

Fukkk it. I need pitching pretty badly.

Still think lindor has his best days to come

Good trade for both teams. The 4th round pick is a nice haul, and around what I would've given up for Lindor.

Bacon,

LETS MAKE A DEAL!

[SteezeFactory]

Looking at the standings and loling at how top heavy the league is this year, good god. 4th place has a losing record ffs. At least the 4-6 playoff spots are gonna be a total crapshoot, I'm in 11th and am 4 games back on Mel.

Melly boyo, what planet do you live on? This is your staff last year:

José Berrios
Brad Boxberger
Carter Capps
Carlos Carrasco
Jeurys Familia
Kevin Gausman
John Lackey
Trevor May
Darren O'Day
Eduardo Rodríguez
Danny Salazar
Joe Smith
Joakim Soria

'Best in the league' and you had 3 guys that logged more than 125 innings.

Righto

Dear Diary,

Had a bad day at the gym today.

It was leg day. Only did 275 on squats instead of my normal 315. Completely skipped my last exercise (3 sets of lunges).

Skipped abs. Skipped cardio.

Just couldn't get in a rhythm.

Even told myself I was gonna smash some legs when I woke up this morning.

Pretty down on myself

Tomorrows an off day too so I'm gonna have twice as long to think about my poor performance.

Just lying on my bed contemplating what this life's for now.

Yours truly diary,
Bacon

[SoutheastBeast1]

Bacon,

LETS MAKE A DEAL!

Im gonna assume that's not a serious offer that I'm looking at in the league for your sake.

Who do you want?

Edit:

I just scrolled down and noticed the comments

It looks like its a serious offer. I'm not sure we're a match, lol

just like in real life it is a rental for me, the winning ball club, i'm not going to mortgage my teams future for old players that may or may not even pan out for the rest of this season. you need to rebuild, i'm willing to move draft picks to get this done but i'm not crazy like the owners the past few days paying a 3rd for a closer about to lose his job and a 4th for a closer that may not have 15 save chances the rest of the year. I came to you figuring you'd understand. Of couse i'm not going to offer you 100 cents on the dollar right off the bat, that's bad business, but i'm open to anything, lets talk and see what happens.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Well I'm not trading you 3 pitchers to turn my 4th round pick into a 2nd round pick either

Just because I'm out of it (which I'm actually not. I'm 2 gb of 6th) doesn't mean I'm handing players out like they're candy on Halloween.

You're not in the ballpark. Like at all. I'm just trying to let you know where you stand.

Like I said I don't think we're a match if that's your initial offer. Letting you know that is my counter proposal at this stage of trade talks.



And for the record I have every intention of keeping wainwright. Not sure why I wouldn't.

2.94 era, 0.92 whip 30 K's in 33 IP over the last month.

Disclaimer to everyone. Lol at anyone in this league who tries to devalue wainwright in an offer to me. Save us both the time if you're not serious.

It took him a little more time post surgery is all. Wainwright is completely fine in my book. He's got at least 3 more years as the ace of STL

got ya, waino is outta the deal n e ways, i was on the fence about him tbh

[SoutheastBeast1]

I mean that's a more reasonable offer but still not there. I've already got an offer for Osuna and waiting for my PM to be responded to.

You keep calling my players rental players but let me stop you for a second and blow your mind.

What exactly is your 2nd round pick in 2017? He's not a keeper. He's a rental player for 2017.

I'm just saying bro.


I appreciate the offer to bounce either of those guys back to me a seasons end. It's a nice angle to play and I respect that. Definitely some value in that I won't lie.

But I'm putting the breaks on us doing anything right now.

I'll keep you in mind. And Osuna isn't my only closer so if he goes before I get back around to you don't worry I still have Kimbrel too

Got ya, if and when we make a deal the bounce back will still apply, my keepers are set so anyone outside them 6 is really not needed. I am fine with doing a deal later on if you fall out of contention as i've got a solid 3 weeks before i have to make a choice on my RP situation in Colorado. I really am trying to find a SP 3/4 to help round out my staff, that's my main goal.

[krazy33]

well, volquez and givens blew era and whip for me this week.

looks like ill be starting miller against colorado and garza against the nats after all

[SoutheastBeast1]

I think we goof'd on that trade. 9th rnd is 3rd rnd.

That's on me. Was in a hurry and didn't even look until just now
