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

[saaltydog]

^ Saving this copy pasta. Will be the go to reply going forward.

8 years and this is finally put to rest.

EDIT: Also just for clarity I traded him Mookie Betts for his 1st pick. Although the same logic applies. Without that first pick of the draft he wouldn't have Mookie.

So he literally had Jose Fernandez, Max Scherzer, Nolan Arenado, Mookie Betts, and Francisco Lindor his first year in the league. According to him though he's just now, 8 years later able to dig himself out of the "hole" Ricardo left him in.

If he inherited Zere's team he wouldn't have even sniffed the playoffs the last 8 years.

[saaltydog]

Also looking back he traded Jose Fernandez and Arenado in a package for Mike Trust before the season. How did Mike Trout, Mookie Betts and Max Scherzer finish in krazy's first season? #1, #3, and #4 on the player rater. Must have been tough.

[saaltydog]

So if Krazy didn't do the two for one combo and just sent me the pick for Betts. Jose Fernandez, Arenado, Betts, and Scherzer had pre-season rankings of

#8
#15
#19
#30

Today that's the equivalent of:

Vladimir Guerrero Jr
Manny Machado
Bobby Witt Jr
Jacob DeGrom.

Now he did trade 2-1 for Trout. However he had th #1 ranked hitter and the #2 ranked pitcher. Including Mookie Betts ranked #19.

Half of MLB is going to steal 40 bases this year.

Volpe gonna steal 60 bases this year

[Jyeatbvg]

This A League Bro. We talk ****. I've been raped numerous times. I ****ed around and found out. No big deal, just move on. JY is still living off my stupidity.



This is ****ty. If Krazy had any sort of integrity he'd offer you some sort of compensation.

Lol where do I come in? All I remember is a Gregory Polanco.

Edit: probably Devers and Olson tbh

Ding ding ding

It's all good players have about a 2 year shelf life on my team. Gotta keep rotating. This will be Witt Jrs last year on my team.

Always wondered what your rationale for that trade was. Forgot what I traded but remember thinking that it was a home run for me when I received the offer.

It was some bull**** like Altuve + Chris Paddock + ???

Not even sure what my rationale was.

[SteezeFactory]

Krazy still bishing about the 'bad' team he inherited? Loool. Should check out NYYs 2011 squad I took over, a true rags to riches story. Morneau, Prado, and Victorino as the offensive keepers, the first two being total garbage. Victorino had a good year but didn't trust a 31yo speed oriented player and didnt keep anyone I inherited on O on that team. I had Madbum and Waino (who just had tommy john) on pitching at least, but that offense was hot garbage. Missed the playoffs by a 1/2 game the following year, all because I slept in on a sunday and missed getting Erik Bedard into my lineup and lost K's because of it. Still haunts me.

I'll give new owners a 1-2 season grace period of taking over a bad roster, but after that it's on you. I'd have killed to have the squad krazy took over lol.

and besides i think your analysis is off. rodon had 237 k's last year. he's not getting a rodon caliber pitcher in the 7th round

Cristian Javier with 194 K's in 148ip last season would like a word.

edit: saw he was the one who had javier lmaooo

Lol where do I come in? All I remember is a Gregory Polanco.

WHY YOU GOTTA BRING POLANCO UP YOU FUKHEAD I ALMOST FORGOT HE EXISTED

[SoutheastBeast1]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but NYY won a championship in his tenure. How many have you won since taking control of that team?


Edit:

I'm thinking of 89FoxBody.... so I am wrong on this one. Oh well, sometimes you swing and miss.

bish, lets go.

im willing to forego my whole team and draft from scratch. are you and saalty?

again.. i traded the fuken picks. you only come back to say i was "stacked" cause i went to the championship the first year. i guarantee you if i didn't go to the championship you wouldn't say chit. and you prob wouldn't say chit about the trout trade if jose fernandez didn't die. cause chill could have won that trade with arenado and fernandez

and that was because of mookie and trout. both of whom were on my team because of me. arenado and jose fernandez, were not. i also drafted lindor, so that turned into something too

again, 3 of 6 keepers being good, and 3 of 6 keepers being trash is not "good"

i just so happened to turn it into mookie and trout

those were like the top 2 picks. and i got rid of mookie in his "down" year because he was annoying and i was impatient. i believe because trout was hurt that year

anyways, like i said.. willing to start from scratch

and besides, y'all keep trivializing chit and making think zere think if he doesn't go to the championship year 1 after inheriting someone elses team, he failed

[saaltydog]

I built my team from scratch. Year 1 baby. I have nothing to prove.

I didn't start at the top like you. No one gave me a team full of 1st rounders. You've been coasting since day one.

[propreffered7]

I didn't start at the top like you.

lol, we could clearly quash this

cause all we'd have to do is throw mookie back into your keepers and we can analyze who was better

my 3 keepers inherited vs. your keepers with mookie included

and im pretty sure you made multiple trades for picks cause i remember you being done early. so your keepers when i got here were VASTLY better

I didn't start with keepers in this league *******. I was part of the first year draft. I've built a team from scratch. You on the other hand were gifted a stacked team.

[saaltydog]

My 2016 Keepers:

George Springer - Preseason rank #27
Chris Davis - Preseason rank #31
Chris Archer - Preseason rank #50
Kenley Jansen - Preseason rank #78
Anthony Rendon - Preseason rank #106
Maikel Franco - Preseason rank #90

LOL

vs Yours

Mike Trout - Preseason rank #1
Mookie Betts - Preseason rank #19
Max Sherzer - Preseason rank #15
Garrett Richards - Preseason rank #93
Starling Marte - Preseason rank #33
Dallas Keuchel - Preseason rank #48

You also finished the season with the #1 #3 #4 #25 #41 #58 #78 and #80 ranked players. If only everyone got the jump you got.

Also refresh my memory who won the Championship that year?

[Zere0wn]

i've been in this league 3 months and i think we've had this argument 3x now

[Zere0wn]

i say we all throw our keepers back and start from scratch! haha

[saaltydog]

i've been in this league 3 months and i think we've had this argument 3x now

It's been an argument for 8 years now. Once Krazy shuts the **** up about still have to compensating for ****ty keepers we'll stop having the argument.

[saaltydog]

I traded Mookie Betts for Maikel Franco and Danny Salazar. So please tell me how I benefited from that trade?

[saaltydog]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but NYY won a championship in his tenure. How many have you won since taking control of that team?


Edit:

89FoxBody , dude was a one hit wonder. Barely made it into the playoffs with a garbage team that caught fire at the righ time. The winners circle is pretty exclusive club. Only 4 separate managers have one won one in the 13 year history of the league. Doesn't really seem like he belongs in that club.

[Zere0wn]

season needs to ****ing start!

Was going to say, there is absolutely no chance someone who put together this squad in 2011 was anywhere near a ship in this league lmao:

C Russell Martin
1B Morneau
2B Cuddyer
3B Prado
SS Asdrubal Cabrera
OF Aubrey Huff
OF Raul Ibanez
OF Shane Victorino
U Derek Jeter
Bench: James Loney

Read my post all I said was lol at thinking your team was 'bad'. I said nothing about any other aspect of your squad and whatever else you're going off about. Your team was not bad, you had pieces to work with in trades at least. I didn't even have trade pieces to build my team up with, minus madbum, but you arent getting big returns from a sp and my other starter had just gotten TJ so I wasnt moving off him. Nothing but WW hustling and trading my first and third round pick to get 4 hitting keepers.

I have zero interest in dumping my squad bacon style (lol u mad baconbby) in a keeper I've been grinding in for a decade, but I have always wondered how that would turn out if someone just went in with no one and had to work off the draft and WW all year. Sadly it's an experiment that totally bombs the balance of the league if 2-3 teams throw everyone into the draft pool, and I don't even like trading my boo's, so I sure as **** arent dropping them all for a side bet dick measuring contest.

I started from ground zero originally and 4 of my current keepers are guys I either drafted (Bieber in the draft right before he broke out, last round pick for ole CY Burnes) or picked up (Tucker, Mullins). It's not like I'm coasting on guys I snagged early in the league and haven't done anything since.

And for the bolded part at the end, I just like rustling your jims ITT. It's what makes this league fun. I don't give a fukk if zere makes the playoffs or not, like I said, anyone taking over a bottom feeder has 1-2 seasons to get sht in order before I'm going to bust their balls on their performance. Sht, I would applaud him if he makes the playoffs period this year because the RP only strat with 0 SP eligible RPs and a #1 SP with a bummy elbow is a bold move lol.

i've been in this league 3 months and i think we've had this argument 3x now

Welcome to the A-League my guy enjoy the ride! Just be glad bacon is a spectator, the rehashed arguments could be so much worse.

This is what you signed up for. All these losers ever do is repeat the same argument.

The only people you need to watch out for in this league are Saalty and Pro. I think it's Pro's turn to win this year if I'm not mistaken. All other champions have retired (aka me and 89Fox)

Surely JY will be along to tell me how my championship doesn't matter because it was so long ago any minute now. The longer it takes everyone else to get over the hump the better my championship looks. JY, Steeze, and Krazy floundering is a glorious sight to see.

Let's go Pro-Shark!!!

NGL your Championship has aged like fine wine. It's become apparent winning a Championship in this league ain't easy. Only 4 managers have done it.

Its just unfortunate you followed it up with all those years of placing last.

i say bring back southbeast for the arguments
