^ 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.

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.Last edited by saaltydog; 03-26-2023 at 07:24 PM.

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.
Cristian Javier with 194 K's in 148ip last season would like a word.
edit: saw he was the one who had javier lmaooo

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

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

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.

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.

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!!!"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session.
