Sorry for not responding sooner. With the pace of the project we are working on right now, I'm skeptical I'll be able to devote enough attention to be competitive in our annual league. As you can tell from my posting frequency lately, work is taking a bit of my free time away from me. It's looking like it will be like this at least through the end of 2011. Maybe if the next project I'm on is a bit less hectic, I'll rejoin the league, but right now I just won't have the time. Consider me out.

Talksox Fantasy Baseball 10' is up and running. Yahoo does not offer a Plus option this year. So that saves us $130 in Yahoo fees. Therefore, dues will be lowered to $ 20 with all funds to be applied to prize money. The tentative draft date is : 3/17/10 @ 7:30 PM EST. I will send out League ID, password and my address, shortly.

I'm heading back to Baltimore this year to catch a game, and a big thank you for the restaurant tip.

On a serious note, are we short people? I've got a few peeps that played last year, some of you guys who played in the fun league know them. Good baseball guys, if you have room.

Good to have you back, Gom.
Nah, I'm coming back with a vengeance this year.
I wonder if I'll trade the eventual American League MVP again this year for the third straight year.
First Pedroia...then Mauer. That Pedroia deal still haunts me. I kept Kaz Matsui instead. Ugh. Too bad ORS and 26 aren't playing. I liked trading with them. Also, Yeszir. Without me stealing Greinke from him, I wouldn't have won last year.

Personally, I feel that if dues aren't paid by draft day, that should make you ineligible for the league. That should be a standard for everyone. There are plenty of people who would like to pay. If you can't afford it, or can't be bothered, don't play.
This should be true for baseball and football. Those of us in the league went through this fiasco the last few years.

For the record, by those rules most of us should/would be banned. I mean Spudboy just made a rhyme between Bill Hall and Adrian Beltre that had no reference to a particular person but rather made fun of Adrian Beltre's lack of lower fortitude. And even if it was a response to a particular person, it was to Dipre anyway. It doesn't seem that he was trying to bait and anger anyone, nor does it seem that he is trying to pick a fight.
I'm obviously not starting anything myself, especially since I don't have a fantasy team in the league, but Spudboy wasn't doing anything wrong. He wasn't trolling or baiting anyone in an argument. Just chill out and manage your league and let the mods do their moderating. They do a good enough job at it.

I'll trade for any of them, but I can't move my main man, Matt "Fastball Killer" Holliday!
Seriously, I'd be interested in a blockbuster...say...for all of them. Send me an offer for all four.
Four trade proposals out. Let me know.
Make it six.
To all of you who responded, thanks. Most deals are a work in progress, they take time, and there is bartering involved. The only notable exception was ORS, who usually made really fair trade offers right off the bat.
For those of you who haven't responded, please do.
Damn...no trades so far. This sucks.
I would like to thank all the teams that rejected my deals. On second thought, I'm happy to have not made them, lol.
If anyone would like to trade depth for depth, I have Rajai Davis and Julio Borbon, two speed merchants. I'm looking for depth in SP. I'm not looking for anyone in the top 100, just someone who can give me some quality starts.
Of course, I'll expand the deal, but as of now, I'd like to stay small.
FINALLY! A trade.
Damn it.

We'll see. The outfield talent pool is pretty shallow this year, and I've got some studs that will ride my bench half of the time that could be starting on other teams. If no one wants to give me a good SP, not a big deal. Just means I have a ton of depth. Besides, I've got a solid rotation as is. My RP could be a little shaky, though, until Street comes back.
I've heard this before, the OF being shallow..but I don't buy it. I think OF is as deep as it can be.

Truth be told, I'm not even sure I want to trade him. But for the right SP (we're talking about a solid #3 Fantasy SP here), he can be yours.

Um...ok.
So you're saying if I offered you Abreu for Hewyard straight up, you'd decline it?
Keeper
04-11-2010, 02:10 AM
Probably not. However, there are some legitimate concerns regarding Abreu:
"Can Abreu’s aging body hold up to another year of playing in the field everyday? Abreu will be 36 on Opening Day and by all reports is in great shape, but old is old and sooner or later his age is going to catch up with him. He showed some real signs of wear and tear in the second half of last season (see his August OPS of .655 as an example) and could probably have benefited from moving to DH this season but that definitely won’t be happening now that Hideki Matsui is in place. Bobby has played 151 or more games in every season since 1998, so he is certainly durable, but that doesn’t mean he is invincible.
Where did Bobby’s power go? Last season Bobby Abreu’s power seemed to dry up almost entirely as he finished the season with just 29 doubles, 15 home runs and an ISO of .142, easily the lowest ISO of his 12 full professional seasons. Abreu hit just one homer in his first two months as an Angel, but he did finish on an uptick to close the season by posting ISOs of .170 or higher in three of the final four months, much more in line with his typical production. So which Abreu will the Angels get in 2010?"
Meanwhile, you can't deny Heyward's upside. He's been compared to Griffey. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Abreu's floor this season, which is certainly lower than Heyward's ceiling.

I'd take Abreu for Heyward in a heart beat. Yes, Abreu is at the end and Heyward is the future, but we keep these players only for one season. It's unlikely that Heyward will put up as many fantasy point this year as Abreu.

Don't know about this trade between you and Bulldogs, Gom.
Bulldogs is getting an upgrade at 1B with Morales over Helton.
Gom is getting a huge upgrade with Verlander over Jorge De La Rosa. Yes, De La Rosa has pitched well since the All-Star Break, but he has never even approached 200 innings before. He's also unproven and pitches in Coors. Verlander will beat him in every FB category, except for maybe Ks. Maybe.
Gom is also getting a huge upgrade with Granderson over Aardsma. Granderson is an everyday player with a good track record and a short porch in right field. Aardsma is possibly a one-year wonder closer with a bad track record.
Seems like Gom is definitely getting the better deal here. I'd like to hear what others think.
It's a trade of need on both sides. He gets a huge upgrade with Morales, and I personally think the difference between Morales and Helton dwarfs Verlander and De La Rosa. Granderson I want as a Yankee, and MSU has had one or two saves total. Aardsma gives him a dominant relief corps. Both of our teams improve. I could afford Morales, and he could afford Verlander. He has the strongest staff in the league, with Lester, Halladay, Buchholz, Marcum, Wolf, etc.
Another note...this league is a bit of a snoozefest. Maybe a couple of trades will shake things up a bit.
a700hitter
04-20-2010, 07:05 AM
Gom is a very shrewd trader. He got the best of this deal by a long shot. Aardsma sucks and only contributes to one category. Granderson will help with runs, RBI, total bases and SB. The upgrade at first over Helton is not worht the hit taken on the other two-thirds of the deal.

I said I wanted Baker or Danks. Blanton was in the deal, and he wasn't on the DL at the time. I think the RP was Perez. You wanted Street. You have only one closer. There was speculation that Perez would become Cleveland's permanent closer over Wood. It could still happen. Considering you have only one closer, it wouldn't have been a bad deal for you if Blanton had remained healthy.

I agree that Baker and Danks are better than Blanton. But not by a ton. Blanton had more quality starts than both of them last year (I think he had one more than Danks), and his ERA was lower than Baker's. He also had more strikeouts than Baker (one more) and Danks. And up until now, he has been very durable.
Perez is the closer for the Indians right now. He's given me 3 net saves. He will continue to be the closer for at least another week. You have 1 net save from the last 2 weeks.

I saw that your trade in the other league was vetoed. What people don't understand is what you said in our league. Vetoing a trade should happen only when it is obviously imbalanced or lopsided. If a trade gives only a slight edge to one side or the other, it should be approved. The folks in your league don't understand that.

Jesus, a700's team is stacked with pitching. Aside from the obvious studs he has (Timmah, Wainwright, Beckett), it's possible Pelfrey has turned a corner with the splitter he's developed. Romero showed a lot of promise in the 1st half last year. This could be his breakout season. And I've always liked Slowey. Thought he was going to have his breakout season last year. I wasn't a believer in Wells, but he continues to pitch well. I still think he's due for a major regression, but he's proved me wrong so far.

You will beat me. The newspapers are saying that my players would rather play for the McCourts, their ownership is more stable. Want Arod? Give me Pelfrey and Slowey. You have 90 seconds.DOne, but you will let me out if I have second thoughts... right.

These days, I honestly believe cab drivers make more.

Gom, at the first sign of dumping, or for that matter more of this bullshit threats, I will freeze your team.
Yawn....
This is the most activity this league has seen anyways.
Wake me up when someone makes a non-waiver move.
Sent fun trade offers to nearly every team. Accept to improve your team. :)

Gom, I'm glad you finally dropped Tejada. Now I don't have to keep rejecting all those trades with Tejada in them.

This is what I mean. Just go in there and decline a trade. Don't let the proposal sit there for a month.

Get used to that. When i get my ass kicked in ERA and WHIP, i usually match-up my starters to get K and QS. Usually works but it backfired this time. :lol:

Yeah, can't fault you for the moves. You got the right pitchers with the right matchups. Sometimes, it just inexplicably blows up in your face.
When Gom picked up Zito, I thought for sure it would blow up in his face. Zito has been overachieving, and tonight he was facing the Cardinals. Shows how much I know.

In the other league, i picked Doug Fister against the CWS because he owns RHB. Too bad i forgot to pick him in this one.

I'm not a believer in Fister. His MiLB numbers are underwhelming. Traditionally, he's gotten hit pretty hard. He's one of those guys who has had success in MLB (in a SSS) where you're like, "How did that happen?"

I'm not either. I just liked the matchup because i analized his scouting and stuff. He lacks a pitch to get lefties out, so he's a walking platoon issue. But he's extremely hard on RHB, and lo and behold, the White Sox are a team without LH power. Matchup made in heaven.
VS RHB: .664 OPS
VS LHB: .739 OPS, but with a .453 SLG, even while pitching half his games in that stadium.
In fact, he's allowed 11 HR's, 9 of them to LHB.
I picked up Zito hoping he'd suck. Oh well.

From threats of dumping your players to choosing players who you think will suck. Are you trying to lose?

Need: SP.
Trading: Stephen Drew, Kelly Johnsonn, Adam Dunn, Evan Longoria (on the right deal).

Smoak was a nice pickup. At the very least, you know he'll help your OBP. And he could always be used as trade bait. Big prospects are always enticing.
I'll trade anyone. Make me an offer.
Can you guys please take the time to accept, counter, or reject a deal?

Seventh straight day with an OBP of .400 or above. Now, if I could only get some production out of Escobar and have Zimmerman in the lineup every day.

Amen brother, I have them both on my team.
Holliday, J.Upton, and Abreu on the block. Looking for SP/RP or an upgrade to Morales at 1B [of course, Morales would go back to you].

Jason Bartlett, Stephen Drew and Kelly Johnsonn all on the block.
Looking for a SP and an OF.
I have plenty of both, but I'm not interested in any of them. Counter the deal I sent you.
Hey, since we all threw money in this league, is it too much to ask that league members respond within a week of a trade proposal. Just saying.

Can't say that I've had a member of the league not respond to a trade offer within at least 3 maybe 4 days...

Depending on the severity of Escobar's injury, I may be interested in Bartlett or Drew.

Keep me posted.
I may also be interested in moving Ian Kinsler if the price is right.

I wish. I've had trade offers out for over a week.

Got very lucky with Adam Laroche today. If Morneau wasn't day to day and if the Mets had been scheduled to play a game today, I wouldn't have picked him up to be a fill-in.
