When’s the trade deadline again?
On the block: Scherzer, Greinke, DeGrom, Marco Gonzales. A quality rotation could be yours for the right price!
Also: Gattis, Kemp, Franco, Molina...beyond that my offense is keeping me down and I doubt anyone would want any other non-keepers.

hey man i made some wild-ass trades in years past, remember when i gave up bryce harper and won the league?
that said i have 4 sick keepers this year and my team is trash so there's virtually no reason for me to make a trade, but if someone wants one of my non-keepers and they'll put up a 27-29 dude i'm game! i'll also try to update the keeper sheet today if i have some time
(my potential trade bait players: cesar hernandez, starling marte, felipe vazquez, david price, lol this team is terrible)

have there been any trades at all this season?
― na (NA), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:16 (five years ago) link
not this year. previous years have had between 2 and 10

Hmmm. He’s DL’d right now - but I’d move Mazara for some trade deadline nitro. Tho I’m sceptical I’ll be able to close the gap between me and holla.

FT:Kluber (#4 SP)Aguilar (#5 1B)Trivino (#9 RP)Cruz (#12 OF)Jansen (#15 RP)Happ (#25 SP)
Not sure if anyone else on my team would garner interest but lmk.

With only 13 teams in the league there are a lot of good unclaimed FA's and less incentive to make trades.
I think all of us are really protective of our keeper eligible guys and don't want to trade them away unless there's a really good chance of winning the league. These kinds of trades happened in the past when the top three teams were more closely bunched.

Yeah, the realy parity is in the middle... I just went from like 10th to 3rd in ~3 days.

Best thing I’ve done was draft Acuna.

Yup. Snag of the 2017 draft fo sho.

the story of my season today in a nutshell: ridiculous pitching (Eduardo-Rod: 5 IP, 11 K, 0 ER, 11:1 K/BB ratio), and 0-15 with one run scored from the offense.

Start Glasnow they* said*rotoballers
I had the best ERA in the league coming into this game and Glasnow's 0.2 IP outing was enough to move my season ERA a full quarter of a run.

The WHIP race is insane right now: 4 teams within <0.01 at the top.

congrats BNW! and congrats on ended your 10-year victory drought!
also, i just randomly discovered the league record book today! kinda fun to poke around (fun fact: i hold the all time, single-day strikeout record at 40).
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 1 October 2018 17:43 (five years ago) link
Kept expecting to get overtaken - must have lost like 30 pts in the 2nd half. Gerrit Cole and Suarez got me through. Thanks for the league! All those years of tanking paid off!
― bnw, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 02:36 (five years ago) link
Frustrating year for me (every SP was injured at some point, etc.) but congrats bnw for dominating for most of the year and a well deserved win.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 09:21 (five years ago) link
I learned a lot (namely that you should draft keepers in a keeper-league) yet I tried to give it a go and make it interesting (which didn't really happen). Impressively dominant win B!

Will open up a new thread around Feb 1... open to thread name ideas, since I apparently stopped being clever a few years back.

The keeper list (it's on the second tab in a handier format). Ages are updated and as of today so are drops from September!

Thanks Will.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 17:42 (five years ago) link
do we have any control over whether same-day adds or drops are allowed in our league? if we do, is there any interest in adding that?
― na (NA), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:24 (five years ago) link
i think that's just a box i tick or somesuch. i'm fine either way, but wouldn't mind some kind of consensus before i do or don't tho.i'll make a new thread once me, or someone smarter than me can come up with a name.

it's been slow at work lately and i'm ready for winter to be done so i've been thinking ahead to fantasy baseball. so i think i have my keepers figured out already. not gonna declare until i have to but i think i've got it unless trades/injuries impact my choices.

using this entire post as the league name is for some reason hilarious to me: it's been slow at work lately and i'm ready for winter to be done so i've been thinking ahead to fantasy baseball. so i think i have my keepers figured out already. not gonna declare until i have to but i think i've got it unless trades/injuries impact my choices.
i am very sleep deprived. maybe just the first sentence. or possibly something about manipulating service time. i am so tired.

Yahoo is the only platform that's keeping Ohtani as 2 separate P/DH entities:

maybe im sleep deprived too because i just laughed at this idea for a threda name (please don't do it)
