Looking to move Schmidt. Wouldn't need a lot in return but not interested in RP's or other injured players

Bellinger for an SP

Good game Chris Martin, thanks for that
-
Should I use a different phrase?? Nope, time to push the "Trust me bro" button.

The first place i referenced used all star appearances. The second link is what you referenced. You claimed theyve done it every 2 years. But turns out they did it twice. Once in 2011 and once in 2018. You also claimed the article said something it didnt. So your "statistically" without any proven stats is just "trust me bro"
-
Total WAR%? Irrelevant. That tells you nothing about the success rate of a randomized individual prospect. How much of that total is from superstars with extremely high WAR? Just look at any list of top 100 prospects from the past and you'll see just how many bust out or are league average. Maybe you'll hit on all your lottery tickets, but statistically speaking, you won't.

i see two articles - one in 2011 with a sample group from 1990 to 2003 - one in 2018, did you even read because - thats not what it says lol. "From what I’ve found top 100 prospects have accounted for ~55% of the league's WAR from 1991-2017"
-
That's not evidence of anything. It's cherry-picked stats. Since you're a fan of Google AI, here's this: "Approximately 70% of players who are ranked in the top 100 prospects in Major League Baseball (MLB) will ultimately fail to become league-average players or better, according to a 2011 study published by Royals Review." Looking further, they've repeated this study every two years since and found similar results every time.
-
I mean it links you to research done by baseball america in a study over 10 years but you definitely seem like the "trust me bro" source kindof guy, especially when someone shows you evidence otherwise.
-
I wouldn't trust AI to tell me the date.

A significant percentage of MLB's top 10 prospects ultimately become All-Stars. While not all reach that level, many do. Baseball America reports that 61% of all-stars from 2009-18 were previously ranked in the Top 100 prospects, and a large percentage of multiple-time All-Stars were once Top 100 prospects.
-
...Oh wait...
-
If there was only a large search engine to verify those "trust me bro" claims...
-
For every Bobby Witt Jr, there's two Addison Russells. For every Paul Skenes, there are three Forrest Whitleys and Dylan Bundys. I'm certainly not going to stop you from building your team solely on prospects, but it's FAR from a sure thing.
-
Yeah top 50 propsects so rarely pan out. Thats why your team is literred with them for 30+
-
Risk profile is super high for guys that young, good chance you end up with very little tangible value.

You just seem to be actively making the team worse which isn't a strategy that functions in Ottoneu.

Literally my first season taking over for someone who had such a bad roster he abandoned the team...i dont think that was the zinger you hoped for

Personally I'd be more worried about my own roster, just saying.

Who joins a fantasy league and doesnt pay attention to the other teams in the league?

Campbell's you aren't even part of the trade. Why do you care so much?

11 perfect innings to start his career. But sure, happy your both happy.
-
Purpose of trade is to hopefully help both teams. Not one screw the other. I personally have always been intrigued by House. So I am good with it. Good luck to all!

Misiorowski looks like early Randy Johnson to me, no command and little control. To me, that was a very even trade
-
Did u read the news miz is getting called up and was like nah cant have good people on my team
-
Getting fomo from seeing all these trades. Updated my trade block so send an offer!
-
Looking to consolidate some prospects or 60 day guys into better prospects or cheap major league keepers. Only those listed, others are not on block. Aslo if you want a reliever too.
-
You are a good owner, on top, and a good amount of point difference! Hopefully you have the innings to spare!

Rea pitching tomorrow against Nats and 6/15 against the Pirates - good streamer to try, and if claimed will be ready for game time.

Moncada hurt????? Wow, weird
-
Is this the most even trade in league history? Kind of want to veto for that reason.
-
Thanks for adding my prospect only to cut him the next day papi.
-
Anyone need a catcher? I have three starters that are hovering around 5 pts/gm
-
Softly putting Vladdy Jr on the trade block. Send me an offer if you're interested.
-
Cough, cough, gonna have to drop Muncy with that salary.

You don't see 154 points from your offense in 1 day very often. Nice day Baby Pfaadt

Any time, any place

Terrible manager. I need to meet with him.

Tough day to have Eugenio Suarez on the bench

lol. I'm just trying to get signs of life in my lineup! O'Hoppe will end up on the IL at some point anyway...

Pitch Clock, how could you steal Murphy away from me? Trade me O'Hoppe since now you don't need him

Yup. He's supposed to be my rock!
