Need top notch SP. Not limited to the guys listed on my block.

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

Yes. At the time the pundits and critics openly questioned Zduriencik's selection of Hultzen, and turns out they were right. We have so many draft disasters like that. The all-timer for me was passing on local UW product Tim Lincecum and instead drafting Brandon Morrow, who never pitched well for the team. That was 2006. We also took Jeff Clement third overall in 2005. Bill Bavasi was soooo bad as our GM. Like, the average ussmariner reader at the time would have been better.
-
I'm still angry that the Ms drafted Hultzen over Rendon.

Well you won the league with Harper - which justified the cost.

Or how about getting Jose Bautista for Jason Kubel, in 2012??! haha, good times. Joey Bats put up 2,900 points in the 3 seasons after that. Jason Kubel had 352 points in the next 3. I also got Hunter Pence before 2 good years in return for Josh Johnson, whose career ended shortly after. Of course, I also traded away Anthony Rendon for Danny Hultzen. hahahaHA! That almost makes me feel better about Paxton. Almost, but not quite. If you need a laugh (or a nap), check the trade history page.
-
Scrolling through past trades, there are some fun ones. Kiwis, remember trading me Bryce Harper, Addison Russell, and Giolito, in return for BOTH Seager brothers? I think that's probably a win for you, in hindsight. Although it's kind of close.
-
Last season, in the mistaken belief that I was a contender, I traded $3 James "Big Maple" Paxton for 6 weeks of Carlos Santana and Yu Darvish. I finished like 1,000 points out of first. And, oh yes, I'm a huge M's fan. My penance for this deed is not nearly complete. In my defense, Paxton was hurt at the time, and he had always struggled with injuries keeping him off the field for extended periods. This time, he got healthy quickly, and Darvish went down with an injury soon after.

Rebuilders: I'm currently soliciting offers for Juan Soto. If you're interested shoot me an offer. I'll need to be convinced to move him.

I need cap space. Anyone want Urias for nothing? He is injured but due back around the end of this season. I would literally trade him for nothing. Saves me cap space instead of cutting him.

Ufda! Lowest score wins right?!? Who put THIS team together?

Works for me, thanks for setting up
-
Sorry, just finished the poll. 3/11 works for me.
-
I've heard back from 9/11 and only one day seems to suit all. Hopefully Marc & Max are good with the 11th of March
