That's awful. Sounds like young guys drinking and boating too fast in the dark, i.e. young guys being young guys. To make matters worse he and his girlfriend are expecting.

Agree auctioning and cutting tim has been my 2nd favourite part of the post ASB season, just trailing after my meteoric rise to 11 th off course

I think "worked up" is a bit of an exaggeration. I enjoyed the speculation and the team name changes as well. I was hoping someone was going to keep him, actually. The team names that could be created with Tebow as inspiration would be quite amusing.
-
That was worth every penny of my virtual $1 for what I thought would be just a chuckle. Watching SPH get worked up about it has been priceless. Our little consolation for getting demolished by him by 2K+ points!
-
In an upset, I Auctioned Tim Tebow actually did auction Tim Tebow! Well, 1 of the 4 teams with that type of name anyway. The team formally known as Final Boss is the "winner"........and then he cuts him. Interesting.

Yeh, thanks for pointing that out smelly 🙃

I don't know. 29 years old in Rookie ball. Not as advanced as Tebow, but dude seems legit!
-
Ah, so it was House that got the Olson twins mixed up. I think Mary-Kate is the crazy one. Stay away from her. You're welcome.

Now that's a good team name

The most gripping mystery to ever hit our league! All signs point to Gatorwade, but maybe SPH's sleuthing isn't as on point as his Ottoneuing. Maybe it was Final Boss, just so he could throw in a "Tebow > " reference 3 years after the meme's expiration date (amazing pull btw). Maybe it was me, or maybe it's a red herring. One thing for certain is that what we've got here is a storyline as compelling as The Night Of. Just 40 hours to go untli the mystery is solved!
-
Probably the last of my Otto leagues to auction him, so we held out, thats kind of a win? Also, always love a Pronk comp

I enjoy him, too......on someone else's roster (Gatorwade's?). I was watching MLB channel and DeRosa actually came up with a really solid swing comp of Travis Hafner. Their swings and body types are similar, actually. Also their ages.
-
I was going to post him just for fun, but couldn't get myself to do it. I do not enjoy that person.

Tebow, really? I thought we were a better league than that. Let's see, a complete shot in the dark player, who used to QB the U. of Florida team, whose nickname is the Gators, and we've got a team in our league named Gatorwade. Something stinks.

Hahaha, the Olson Twins are up for auction.

Don't forget about Fernando Tatis Jr! Actually, you probably should. You'll never hear from him.

Vlad Jr., Mondesi Jr., next thing you know there will be a Jr. Jr. It's a conspiracy to make fantasy owners feel old.

Vlad was the man!

Vlad the Impaler JUNIOR?????? Goddamn I feel old
-
Don't forget to check in with last minute offers here either. Gattis, Encarnacion, Will Myers, Todd Frazier... all potentially helpful. A solid offer with real 2017 value could get it done quickly! Don't let Trade Sheriff win your money!!
-
I understand everyone's point and understand that it's only a month of Papi and Price. And I never use the VETO button as an "I don't like this trade button/Hurts my chances button" or I'd veto most trades. I just look at the values of both sides and the scales are tipping much farther to one side than the other, IMO. This is nothing personal, Coco. I believe you when you said dangled this package and this is what you got. It just doesn't pass my eye test. Of course if Berrios rebound
-
if big papi comes out of retirement its the best rrade ever! Good luck for second place. I am ready to make a deal so I can get at least second place next year. Hurry up deadline is soon. Anyone but Betances is available

absolutely no problems with this trade. 1 month's ABs from Ortiz and a couple starts from Price... Just encourages the other competing team(s) to counter and spread the wealth a bit.

SPH what would you have given me for that same package? Carrasco? Pollock? Since nobody seems that enamored with the thought of finishing second, you have about as much motivation to trade as the others.
-
He made the players available and, if my experience is similar, got a lot of nothing offered his way. In the end, they have zero value to him in 2016 (he isn't playing for this year) and zero value in 2017 (he wasn't going to keep either). Getting something in return that he will likely keep... even if it's just a lotto ticket, is value. To me, it's just another wrinkle competing teams need to consider when they don't want to give up future talent... one of your competitors might be willing.
-
I tend to agree with Chico.. I am definitely against the idea that the veto button should substitute as an "I don't like this trade, I wouldn't have made this trade, this trade hurts my chances: button. I understand you're point SPH on the other perspective, but I don't feel any owner has a responsibility to consider the perspectives of other teams when trying to make a move...
-
Look, I would have loved to have gotten more. Unfortunately, nobody can catch you, and the common refrain I heard from all others was that they didn't want to give up any "core players" for a chance to maybe-kind-of-but-probably not finish 2nd. Definition of a buyer's market.
-
Having been in the position where you're trading valuable pieces to build for the future, it's amazing how little you seem to get in return for good "rentals". I don't think that's a crazy bad trade - neither of those guys are worth holding over (Price too $, Papi gone), so at least he got something for them.
-
Also consider it from another perspective: if you were the one fighting for some money and someone gift wrapped this trade to one of your competitors, what's your feeling then?
-
Price has pitched better of late and Papi is one of the most productive hitters in baseball. You could have gotten a little more than a guy who went from prospect to suspect this year. He's been gawd awful.
-
Shopped , but not for a bum like that .. I ain't worried however

Especially when the same package was shopped to other teams with no success
-
haha this guy has criticized two trades on the message board this year..of course both involving my team. First one worked out OK for me though. I know you're the best player in the Ottoverse, so maybe you can give me some insight on what I'm supposed to get on deadline day for someone who is retiring at year end the third most expensive pitcher in the league who is averaging a whopping 4.56 P/IP this year, other than a filer on a probable failed pitching prospect?

HA! The managers trying to finish in the money are the ones who should be mad. That trade is in no way shape or form, fair, but there are veto buttons for that.
