Awesome to watch. Curve was wicked from the first inning on. Lots of fun.

Sick no no by Kershaw. Hope some of you got to see that

Urban Achievers's trade block has been updated!

Lincecum available on the cheap if anyone interested....

Wrong Parker.

I guess I see value in looking backwards to determine who is receiving the most benefit from a trade, but I don't see how it invalidates any of the comments made. The comments reflected the economy you were trading in at that time,.
-
Machado will be fine, Craig is still a value at $12, Teheran could be a top 5 SP... I still think its pretty bad actually.
-
Seriously? Machado is $21, even if he will be fine will he be worth that price any time soon? And Teheran has pitched well, but he is seriously outperforming his peripherals.

I refrained from commenting on that trade I believe. I still think in the long run Machado will be fine

Yeah, you're right Cruz, you've convinced me.

I know hindsight is 20/20, but there were an awful lot of comments about how stupid I was for making that deal. Seems to me it was a slight advantage for me at the least.

yea they are still donks

Obviously Teheran has panned out, but Craig has not hit at all and Machado hasn't either. Keep in mind I saved $18 pre auction in the deal and this was before Fowler was sent to HOU.

I've gone back and I don't see who was in that trade?
-
Does anyone still think that trade I made 11/21 was bad? I believe some of you called it "lopsided" and "booty" and the pitchers I received "donkeys".

It's going to make it that much sweeter when he loses.
-
All systems have loopholes. And quite frankly, I think this league is well short of its shit-talking quota. So rock on, Laser.
-
Hell I have known about it. I just don't agree with it and noticed none of you really exploited it. I may be dumb, but I am still not going to.
-
I'll admit I am dumbass, and didn't really think about it and was doing it too reduce the cap penalties he already had on the books...guess I will look to see if I have anyone I can do it with....
-
Yeah they've almost all been at $1 to start with this season in this league.
-
nevermind...you did for Luke. I just don't agree with the rule I guess, and I would like there to be an option. I'll send my concerns to Niv
-
Just went through all your cap penalties and I don't see one instance of it.
-
I have :)
-
Differing opinions on the matter. 32 days is not near enough. Bump it to 60 or even 90 and I wouldn't complain. How come you haven't been doing it then?
-
That said, I can understand how it should at least be a setting for each league to decide on their own. I just thought it was a commonly known strategy that everybody already did. Nothing bushleague at all.
-
Seriously? I've been in 4 leagues for 3 years now and every single one of them is full of teams that add / drop their old players to cut costs. I remember Niv retweeting last summer or spring about how he likes it as well, so I'm guessing it's staying.
-
Beltre at $37 is pretty decent value...so if anyone has an high priced OF,or two and want get out from it, and think Beltre decent, that's one way to work, so keep it in mind...
-
We will see Showalter. I really like most people, but you make it difficult.
-
Love you guys. Keep the annual donations coming.
-
last, and certainly not least....looking for an OF..maybe two...any one available..took some action on Correa pretty far last time, and didn't get a deal, so he is out there...3B I am pretty solid..looking for OF help, let's make some deals
-
doesn't win this whole goddamn thing again this year...
-
having said all that, by the responses really does make me dislike him even more...I didn't think he'd reply at all...glad he did, and now know he wants to act like a prick...it takes all kinds, and that's cool...just good reminder to make sure he
-
I disagree as to that being a big penalty. Whatever I'm done talking about it. All power to the guys that want to do it this way. I think 32 days is not NEAR enough. Now 90 days? That is more like it.
-
enough in itself...if by August, the cap penalty was down to $1, don't think that's so terrible...laser figured out way to do that, and any of us can do the same...
-
I guess I just need to have less convictions about how I play this game. Exploiting the way the system is set up is not right. May as well just get rid of cap penalties if this is what I can do.
-
secondly, I think the cap penalty should depress over time anyway...maybe cut in half at 30/60/90 day etc...why not? like with Matt moore, you did nothing wrong by bidding him, and got hurt when he did...why be punished all year, losing the player is enou
-
Kempire, it takes at least 32 days to reduce a cut player's salary by 50%. That's a significant penalty.
-
just read article last night about Jed Hoyer when he was with redsox with theo, his whole job, and what moved him up in the org was finding loopholes in the draft snd free agency, etc to give them extra picks, comp picks, etc...basically the same thing he
-
I think it needs to be an option within the leagues then. With this system what is the point of a cap penalty then if I can just drop it down to $1?
-
So you don't have an issue with someone not taking a true cap penalty on a player and just continuously starting an auction for a bum player and not eating money for it?
-
in my opinion, I don't think it's bushleague at all...it's a way to work within the system to lessen your cap burden and improve team...god bless, if we all have equal opportunity to do the same, then what's the problem
-
picking up the same guy you cut, and cut again it decreases the prior cap penalty for that guy to a.lower number...that said, personally if that's all it is, I don't have an issue with it...if it were issue with the system, that's different
-
not letting me either whitey
-
I emailed Niv and asked him to look at it about a month ago...just to see if there was a.loop hole or something that may be missing...he replied and said that there was not, and that the cap penalty was prohibitive...he didn't take into account that by
