damn not a fan of that trade for Chill...Lindor and Springer are legit. Surely could've gotten more than just Mookie, even if just a closer or something.

[propreffered7]

God dammit. I thought I could drop Rodgers and put brinson back into NA spot. But apparently I can't.

Can you make it so I can get Rodgers back. I wouldn't have dropped him

Won't be super pissed if you can't, but as I said wouldn't have done it had I known

[propreffered7]

Mookie was pretty legit. Mike trout-esque, but yea I think he's taking a hit not hitting in front of Ortiz

[propreffered7]

Hmm..ok.. apparently I can't put Reyes in the na spot either? The fuk is going on

[saaltydog]

Surely he could have. I got Judge/Rizzo/Moncada out of Springer/Lindor.

Doesn't matter though Willy gonna Willy. Gotta respect the hustle. He'll be there at the end of the year. Bad trades don't wreck good managers.

[Jyeatbvg]

only 1 NA spot per roster

[propreffered7]

only 1 NA spot per roster

Yes. I was dropping Rodgers to put brinson back into na spot. But you can't with brinson. I'm assuming because he's up at mlb

Then as a solution I was gonna put Reyes in the na spot and move trout or villar to the dl and add somebody, but it won't let me add Reyes to na spot despite not having 50 ip at mlb level. I'm guessing because he was last at mlb level

[propreffered7]

Not too salty about Rodgers because I now have too many ss. So if it's a hassle don't bother with it

[Jyeatbvg]

Ah I see what you mean. Yahoo defines NA eligibility as per below:

Reasons a player will have "NA" status
They're on the MLB Bereavement List.
They're on the MLB Paternity Leave List.
They're holding out to renegotiate their contract.
They've been sent to the minors or aren't on an official 40-man roster.
They're injured for an indefinite amount, but haven't been placed on the official MLB Disabled List.

Reyes probably fits into one of those categories (he's on a 40-man roster?)

Yea I'm not sure. It's whatever. I'll just add someone else

so you got:

1. A gamble on Judge that paid off
2. A good 1B but not even Top 5 in the league
3. A prospect who hasn't debuted


Props on Judge paying off, really, but to claim you got more is twisting it a bit. You took on a lot more risk with what you brought in and yes that risk happened to pay out (so far) but this is not even remotely comparable.

It's like one guy buying a lotto ticket with a 90% chance of winning $500 and another guy buying a lotto ticket with a 10% chance of winning $5000, having the 10% guy hit despite his percent chance then bragging he "got more" and the other guy could have too.




Disclaimer....Not knocking either trade. Just pointing out they are very different in nature and you had a higher risk of bust.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Yea I'm not sure. It's whatever. I'll just add someone else

Honestly he'll probably be right there for you to pick back up after he claims waivers.

edit:

clears waivers

trying to plan for playoff time. Don't wanna get stuck like i did last year having to many bats from a top team that sits them the last 2 weeks. Figured not being heavily invested in any one team would help with that. Red sox look like they will be chasing all year which should provide quality ABs down the line. I also have Marte coming back soon so I needed to make a spot for him in my lineup. No one was willing to pay anything for the breakout of Andrus so I figued moving Lindor was the best move. I wanted a top 5 overall player to round out my Bryant/Areanado keepers and the Trout DL made him a no go, then Harper owner was offered same deal + cain, I want nothing to do with Goldy or Judge(if you consider him top 5), so that left Betts. That was the manager logic behind the trade. I got the best player, made room for a top 20 OFer when he returns, primed myself for a playoff run where my bats should not be sat, and improved my overall keepers for the future. I understand that I sold low or overpaid but i needed to get the deal done without alot of back n forth.

Hope that gives you more prospective from my side.

I don't think you sold low.

That's one man's opinion. Don't let that ******* Jyeatbvg put a damper on your decisions, out here offering Carlos Santana for Michael Pineda acting like Santana should even be owned.

Nah I dig you bru, makes more sense after knowing the logic behind it. I respect you and your game chill, see you in the playoffs.

Lol u fking ******* I swear m8

[SoutheastBeast1]

Lol u fking ******* I swear m8

brb picking up Lonnie Chisenhall and playing him tonight who's outperforming his teammate with 140 less ABs.

Good luck to your Indian in BMore this week bro. Even that dog sh*t staff can't save him.

[saaltydog]

Ok so you're saying I got more. Got it.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Ok so you're saying I got more. Got it.

If you're giving me a choice right now I'd take Mookie Betts over Judge/Rizzo/Moncada.

So I guess I'd take less....

[saaltydog]

Mookie Betts....Martin Prado at best, Ramiro Pena at worst.

Lol

[SoutheastBeast1]

My n*gga Ramiro Pena getting a shout out up in here

You talk a lot of sh!t for a guy making these sorry "march back to .500" posts brah, just sayin'

[Jyeatbvg]

2 Games Under .500 (possibly 1 game under if Barnes picks up a hold but not holding my breath, pun intended, cause I can't pick up holds when I need them to save my life).

The march back continues. Within striking distance next week for the first time since Week 1. Let's do this!!!

Quoting just in case you wanted to delete this ****giness..it'll be here forever now.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Awww Santana homered. I guess I can't make fun any more.

I'm happy for you bro, srs. Still pretty happy with Chisenhalls 3/6 night as a consolation.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Quoting just in case you wanted to delete this ****giness..it'll be here forever now.

I'll be sure to wave to you as I pass you by in the standings at a future time during The March of 2017 (It needs a proper name I've decided).

[melanimal_old]

Yoan Moncada is garbage FYI. Guy is the same age as all the stud shortstops and is still striking out at an absurd rate in triple A. Not to mention, he is limited to 2b. Not a top 25 prospect.

[Jyeatbvg]

Awww Santana homered. I guess I can't make fun any more.

The best player on the Braves also hit a dinger last night. How you missed out on him when he was on the wire is beyond me, especially for someone still rostering Stephen Piscotty. Bro..

[SoutheastBeast1]

1. Piscotty isn't some dude on the decline at the tail end of his career. He's a 26 year old with a .780 OPS still who missed some time this year but has still knocked out 6 HRs in 150 ABs and is a career .280, .800+ OPS guy. The numbers will be there for him.

2. I had Matt Adams you clown. I was the one who had him before you picked him up. You're welcome for the gift because everyone was oblivious to his existence before I added him for a few days. I hope Adams keeps raking but the truth is long term he's gonna be out of a position again in a month. Dropping Piscotty to keep him is a retard move.

3. I don't miss Matt Adams before you ask. I dropped him to carry an extra holds guy last week, Barnes, who ended up winning the category for me. #NoRegrets

4. If I'm dropping any outfielder it's sure as sh*t not Piscotty, it's Adam Jones. You're so bad at figuring out who should and shouldn't be owned you completely skipped over my worst outfielder bahahahahaha

[SoutheastBeast1]

Can Matt Adams play 3B? Anybody know?

Imagine

Inciarte, Phillips (or Albies if Phillips is traded), Freeman, Kemp, Adams, Markakis, Flowers, Swanson.....hnnnnnng


Adams that big bat for 3B we need if he can play it.


I've really enjoyed Camargo though. He's been sneaky good

matt adams was like 50 lbs heavier previously, until this year. always been a first baseman

dont think he was ever noted for his defense. always purely a hitter
