***Official A-League Fantasy Baseball Keeper Thread II***

[saaltydog]

ehh, maybe. definitively? yes

but because of the team i inherited, i traded picks to make up for it and constantly had to make up that value

yasiel puig, hanley ramirez, max scherzer, jose fernandez, christian yelich, nolan arenado were ricardo's keepers

which i turned into:

jose abreu, mike trout, mookie betts, max scherzer, carlos martinez, corey kluber the first year

so from the looks of it, 1 keeper was what i "inherited". 5 of 6 were different made by me

zere0wn will see. one injury to his keeper core and he better hope his draft hit cause he has a lot to make up

This has been debunked every year. You started from the top with one of the strongest set of keepers in the league. You would have been better off doing nothing.

lol @ not being able to reset your team after one year. I change keepers almost every year. Yet here we are five years later and your still complaining about making up for the team you inherited. You have nothing but excuse after excuse.

[propreffered7]

Isn't this true for almost all teams?

even moreso when you miss picks 140-180 for example

[saaltydog]

Isn't this true for almost all teams?

Yes it is. I've dealt with huge blows to my keeper core and have gone on to win it all. It's all excuses with him.

Leagues aren't won with keepers or the draft. Theyre won with in season management.

[Zere0wn]

i see what you're saying

[propreffered7]

This has been debunked every year.

from who?

You started from the top with one of the strongest set of keepers in the league.

bullchit. i just laid them out.

your keepers were:

george springer
chris davis, 47 hr chris davis
chris archer
kenley jansen
anthony rendon
maikel franco


you had 3 picks in the first round, 2 in the 2nd, 2 in the 3rd, 2 in the 4th and were done by the 19th

You would have been better off doing nothing.

more bullchit. and totally quantifiable


is the statement that i gave you a pick for betts and you just pulled from depth true? and that you stack picks?

[saaltydog]

My first three picks in the draft last year were Jorge Polanco, Cody Bellimger, and Chris Sale. League winners right there lol. I'll be the first to admit my drafts are never strong. I make up for it with managing in season.

You get out managed every year.

[propreffered7]

we already know aaron judge's babe ruth record breaking season for a minor leaguer that didn't play kept you afloat

Maybe, but what about my other 5 Championships? There's always an excuse with you for why others win and you always lose.

Just like you're always in here crying about one guy that's injured on your team while other including me can't even field a team because we have so many guys on the DL.

Injuries.only effect you rain outs only effect t you, the list goes on and on..

[saaltydog]

Zere0wn please don't tell me 5 years from now you'll be in here talking about how you're still behind because of the team you inherited. I mean you inherited one ****ty team I'll give you that. But I'm sure by next year.youll have it all sorted out.

[saaltydog]

Just looked it up. This is krazy's 8TH season. He's in here crying about the keepers he was left and how he's still digging himself out of a hole. He was given some of the best keepers in the league. Lol you can't make this up.

[Zere0wn]

I'm actually going to win this year. Next year will be easy.

Just need Rodon to come in healthy... i had him as a top 5 pitcher this year.

[saaltydog]

8 years and he's still in here talking about the keepers he inherited lol.

This is the attitude. You have just as good of a shot as anyone else. Probably even better than a lot of guys. I'd put $$ on you over Krazy. He's 0-7 and a proven loser. At least you're an unknown.

[Zere0wn]

Is there a way to see players who weren't kept centralized?

[saaltydog]

Is there a way to see players who weren't kept centralized?

The player pool accurately shows who's left. We are still waiting on Heyquick and Bateman. There's no way to combine hitters & pitchers. Which is bull****

[Zere0wn]

yanks move IKF to outfield. Volpe time.

Willing to trade Volpe for the moon

IKF never had a spot. I think the general consensus was Peraza at Shortstop and Torres at 2B.

why would you try to keep IKF's bat in the lineup. he's not going to play elite defense in the outfield, just move on from IKF.

[Pro_Shark]

We doing MLB tv this year or what?

I'll send out info tomorrow for it.

R.I.P. Diaz, the first casualty of the WBC.

[Zere0wn]

Should TyGuy505 still keep Diaz? HE's the best closer in baseball but looking like he may miss the season (speculating ACL). What would you do?

**** no, TyGuy is smart. He's already looking at his other options.

[Zere0wn]

Well in that case - Ty guy - Cristian Javier threw 4 scoreless innings with 4 strikeouts in the WBC. 25 years old, looking sharp, on the rise. Only cost you a 2nd. Solid keeper with lots of upside. Being drafted top 60

Salesman, I like it.

This franchise is cursed. Just signed the biggest deal for a reliever and won’t pitch the first year of it. Gonna miss Narco blaring through the speakers at Citi this year.

No thanks. At that price I’d rather throw a dart at a Robbie Ray rebound, Chris Sale, or Logan Gilbert taking a step forward if I’m going to keep a 3rd pitcher (already have Verlander and Cease).

[saaltydog]

Where do I place a bet for Eloy leading the league in HRs this year?

After Diaz that bullpen is pretty ugly.

[saaltydog]

Can't wait to snipe Gonsolin in the draft.

If you're interested at all, let me know what you think might be fair. I've got some hitters I'd move too.

Sounds like you've got decent options though as is.
