I appreciate all the love for Betances, he is a top RP, maybe even top 3 if you can't name 3 better than him. Offers are way off, i need a top 5 player at another position to trade him.
-
I don't know if outfoxing is the word for it. I had to give up a lot of young talent to rebuilding teams, including a $3 Bregman, $3 Dahl and $12 Archer to the Shadymen. It was no cakewalk trying to catch the SABRMagician.

Fun stuff

I had to research, Since I don't have any memory of last year, i had to look up the trades to see how a team can get $700+ payroll. Amounts given away to the winning team 73,32,50,35,50,65 in 6 trades, Players given away for not much Price, Sale, Tanaka, Lester, Cargo, Cutch, JoeyBats, Stanton, Cruz, EE, LuCroy, Andrus. 8 players and $300+, 5 teams had a part and one trade was in April, 3 weeks into the season. Warriors, nice win, you earned it by out foxing the rest of the league.
-
But you're proving the point that value is in the eye of the beholder. I guess you're making a moral judgment against my trading, but I'm not sure why anyone should be faulted for trying to maximize the value on their team. It's the whole goal of the offseason.

Being honest, that's a very rosy view of the players you traded.

Don't even try to draw equivalency between our approaches to trading. I respect what you're doing as its been very successful given your top 3 finishes two years in a row, but at least be honest about what your game is.
-
Um, except Kemp is $16 and came packaged with a $3 Tom Murphy and a $5 Swihart, so plenty of upside and i don't have $400 in cuts to make, so entirely different context. $5 Roark at a time when pitcher ppi are going down to increased long balls is more than fair for a regression bound Turner. I could easily end up the loser in that deal and was hesitant to make it, but I had a hole to fill.
-
Hmmm I think some owners may have said the same about a couple of deals the Beavers made this offseason as well...depending on what they think of Tanner Roark and Matt Kemp's remains

yeah, i don't think these deals are disastrous per se, I just don't get the logic. seems rather suboptimal from a game theoretical perspective.
-
"best shape of his life" lol
-
And I shouldn't have said "bad for the league" because that sounds stronger than I feel the situation is. And I don't actually think it is bad for the league. Its a great league with active owners and I don't really care about the trades that much. Just chiming in for fun.

over the next two months? oh idk, Free Agents get signed, players get hurt, projections change, trades happen? ofcourse he found Garcia more valuable. I feel like we are all getting trolled by some of these deals
-
I have to agree with Seager. Why are you giving good low-priced contracts to someone and taking on overpriced players that should be released to auction. Basically, you're helping last year's best teams stay really good and not be penalized for their crazy payrolls. Not good for the league.

That's my point. He gets something for nothing, and you get nothing for something, and you get nothing for something, since you're gonna cut price
-
Obviously Warriors finds Garcia more valuable than Price, given the low $7 cost
-
I just found it ironic that you were giving people a hard time to taking on his bad contracts and then you go and do the same
-
If you're not keeping him why not let him go to auction without giving away a player to warriors, who is 99.9% gonna cut him
-
its going to be a fun ride, and the draft should be interesting for sure...you guys really think i would keep a $40 Price?
-
What could possibly happen in the next two months?

-
yeah makes me laugh. people not making trades are questioned, when there's all these other questionable ones being me lol. who knows what will play out over the next two months
-
I'm already reconsidering my love for this league lol
-
Seriously though, why is everyone giving up cost-controlled players with surplus value for warriors' bad contracts? Especially given that almost all of them will be available at auction?
-
*it's a bullpen game voice* I can't believe people are trading for warriors' overpriced players.....

i have a whole block full of them, who do you like?
-
you mean, why aren't all teams rushing to make moves when we have until 1/31? well as far as i'm concerned i've been testing out some moves, nothing panned out so far. not THAT desperate to trade my cheap pieces for overpriced ones. if you have players you want to get rid of tho, feel free to offer them!
-
where are the bottom third of the teams in the standings? you should be active right now. Trades are pretty important to getting better. Leftover scraps in the draft along with the stars going for big money won't help you get better. I have some young players on the block who could be part of an improving roster somewhere.
