Hell of a day yesterday Upton Pham-K. Lately I'd be lucky to score that over a 3-day span.

Yes. I'm wishing I'd made an offer for him! Launch Angles or YokO, care to give your rationale on this latest offer?
-
I have no idea what is happening with these Carrasco deals...
-
My thinking on the Correa trade is that I have 5 or 6 guys who will be worthy of playing every day next year at the middle infield spots. Someone has to go. Correa will be $40 next year so moving him really helps my financial picture, and reloads the farm system with 2 solid young players ranked somewhere in the middle of the top 100, and 1 guy ranked in the top 20. And I'll still have Cano, Rizzo, and Simmons/Urias/Adames.
-
In addition to Correa or Rizzo, I could also move one of Kris Bryant or Anthony Rendon. I'm not tearing the whole thing down, but I have some positional logjams and salary crunch so a couple of high-end pieces should probably go. I'm looking for prospects, mostly, or young cheap guys with high ceilings. Help you now, help me later.
-
If you feel a trade is unfair, and unjustifiable, you should protest it. League members can "approve" or "veto" each pending trade. It takes 7 "veto" votes to kill a trade.
-
I have to agree... Seconds apart questionable keeps if any. The first trade ok but that 2nd one no one on either side can sell me on where that trade makes sense....

I never thought I'd be that guy, but I can't come up with any possible justification for that Carrasco trade. That one doesn't pass the sniff test for me.

Carlos Correa and Anthony Rizzo are available if you need help in the middle infield...

And I followed that up with a -40.5 yesterday. Ufda!
-
Exactly. You have to hand it to him, that is a staggering number. There used to be a fantasy baseball game hosted by baseball prospectus called "hacking MASS" and I don't remember the specifics but the general idea was to pick the WORST possible team, and playing time was important, so you needed guys who were good enough to play every day but were still really bad. Like Mike Zunino or Ryan Healy, or the Reds fifth starter. The roster was frozen from game 1 on so there was no work
-
Can you even be mad about -54 or are you grudgingly impressed?
-
-54.23 from David Price yesterday. YESSSSSSS! Also, I traded a $5 James Paxton for an expensive Yu Darvish last year. I deserve further cycles of punishment.
-
I'm looking to dump salary. I have a few guys I would consider trading for nothing. Such as $4 Hamels, $1 Pedroia, $4 Hanley, $4 Neil Walker, etc. Feel free to make an offer for 1 or more of them or someone else. I could maybe even package all 4 that I named with a more desirable player - you take all that salary, you get the interesting prospect or whatever. Go M's!
-
Nice! I think you finished at -19.1. You appear to be the leader! -33 from one guy is pretty impressive as well.
-
-17.3? Whatever. I'm blowing that out of the water with a -21.9 right now.
-
But I mean from the combined roster, for one day. I've had bigger negative performances from a single player, but not from the entire group, collectively.
-
I imagine that Bundy start from a few weeks back would've done it
-
I had a -17.9 a couple of days ago, but I'm pretty sure I've have starting pitchers in the -20's before.
-
What's the single game record for fewest points? I may have just set it with -17.3. Hall of shame!
-
Have you ever started an auction, forgotten about it, and then had no idea why you started it in the first place? Yeah, me neither. That'd be stupid.

3 of the top 4 picks that year (06) were unqualified busts. Baseball is a crazy difficult game. 2005 was a way better draft. The M's took Clement at #3 and he was 1 of only 2 complete busts out of the first 12 picks (Wade Townsend, SP, the other due to injuries). Keith Law called it a "virtual certainty" that the M's would draft Tulowitzki, haha. Nope. Bavasi!!
-
Kiwis, sure, Kershaw would have obviously been even better! But I wasn't just trying to think of the best guys we woulda coulda shoulda got. I was thinking of scenarios that "experts" and pundits were predicting. The M's were predicted to take Lincecum, not Morrow. And even moreso expected to take Rendon over Hultzen. If we had simply followed the advice of most baseball columnists (usually a BAD idea), the franchise would be in a better spot. That's how bad the drafts were.
-
Also, I'm amused that you complain that you could have had Lincecum instead of Morrow. There was this guy drafted 7th overall that year named Clayton Kershaw...
-
My team is just on the DL... in multiple leagues
-
Amen to that, Sabo. I thought I'd be like a 4th-6th place team. Nope. My pitching.... What's the proper phrase? Clown shoes? Dumpster fire? And it's not bad luck. Bad design! : - (
-
Kluber is making me feel like the Bill Bavasi of Ottoneu.
-
Kluber Lang is crushing us so soundly, I thought he might be among the global leaders. No. There is a team with about 1,000 more points than Kluber, and they are leading the 2nd place team in their league by 1,700 points haha. I think they might be using custom rules or scoring system because almost every player on the roster is signed at $1. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/882/home Reminds me of "Hacking MASS," a game where the WORST team wins. https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/h
