Fantasy Baseball 2014 Discussion, v2: Who's on the trading block?

[theskza]

This is why you don't draft closers

This is why you draft Kimbrell in the 4th.

One of my friends from school is rustling some jimmies in my league. He already has Miggy and Adam Jones in his lineup. He offered Felix Hernandez and Greg Holland for Goldschmidt to one of the guys in our league and it was accepted. That's a little confusing since it's only an 8 man league, so quality pitching isn't hard to come by on waivers. I'm not sure why the other guy accepted the trade, but the fact he's going to have Miggy, Jones, and Goldschmidt in his lineup pissed a couple of guys off.

As I'm typing this he just sent me an offer: Ortiz, Garza, Pedro Alvarez, and Cespedes for Trout. lol

Those are pretty even trades, but because it's an 8 team he can get away with it.

Veto it before he lays waste.

I did that last year in a 12 team i was in. He is worth it. Most don't think so with Closers, but it was for me.



Agreed, in an 8/10 team you can make crazy trades like that, and then just scavenge waivers. 12, and up is the only way to go. i am in a 12, and 20 team this year.

H2H or ROTO?

What about my doge Dan Straily today. I'm loving my pitching 4 wins and 3 QS so far this week. Straily, Perez and Hutchison are poised for breakout seasons. Hector Cantiago has been the lone disappointment I still have faith in him. My lead dogs Liriano and GOATolo should have good seasons, not sure about AJ though he looks like he came back for the money, he's looks bad after two starts, he's in semi-retirement mode. Then we got my wild card Brandon Morrow which way will he go? Looked great last night.

 

[metal]

You seem like you are doing alright. With Morrow it is just a countdown until he gets hurt.

h2h or roto?

h2h

I'll break shit if it happens i expect it though. I lost two starting pitchers in the same league two weeks into last season Brandon Morrow and Matt Harrison. I still won, but that was 18 teams i don't know if i'll be able to recover if I lose another starter ffs i lost Jarrod Parker already.

I feel your pain. I lost Corbin, and will Fister on DL into May. That's why i made the move for Verlander. I owned Morrow last year as well.

1b is deep. Personally i would rather have King Felix/Holland. I can only imagine how many solid 1b there are left in an 8 team. There would be so much lineup recycling in an 8 team i don't think i would be able to do it.

It is pretty crazy. Having the options is nice, but streaming definitely causes problems. I prefer 12+ team leagues, no doubt.

 

[Team Dagger]

Your doge Evan Turner had a career game last night.

 

[TidalWave89]

I'm gonna be facing a serious decision come May when I add Billingsley and Griffin to the mix. I'd hate to drop Hammel with the way he's going right now. But he's got plenty of time to can it up to make my decisions easier.

h2h

Never heard of such a small league for H2H. Is it a friends league? That seems too small for H2H. The minimum number of teams I would play is 14. I don't like playing in small leagues with stacked teams it' only works for Roto.

 

[INeedARemedy]

So I take it this 20 team would be a h2h league?

Is Roto when you've just got all the teams lined up and it's strictly by points?

 

[Team Dagger]

The 20 team league is H2H we play a new team every week. Roto is based on a point system each day. First year playing Roto I gotta say I'm enjoying it.

Remedy check out the Simpsons shoop gif i posted in the NBA thread.

 

[INeedARemedy]

Word, gotcha. I'm in both this season - I think I like h2h a little more because of the added competitive aspect of going up against one person. Both cool though

and lol nice, I liked that. Speaking of Simpsons-based gifs, I made this one last night

Correct, it is a friends league.

McCann and Rasmus both being productive tonight? The fuck kind of sorcery is this?

 

[metal]

My team is on fire tonight. After last night my team needed it.

 

[Team Dagger]

Two more home runs tonight for for the Cuban Missile.

Remember when I was criticized for "reaching for Abreu" during the draft.
