Who's trying to get beat up on by yours truly again? I won it in a wash last year...Fix got mercd out in the finals. I'm looking to put a league together when the season comes back around...I'm only looking for cats that will actually check their team regularly...even if they aren't doing so well.

Gotta reserve some spots for the managers who did well and tried last year. I'd like to get Sonny, Fix, 2nd, Blood, and whoever PolishPower was. 12 man league....pretty basic rules (however i'm open to suggestions).

Holler at me on this thread or through PM if you want to get down.:dance:

im gonna get some revenge..... your team got real hot at the end though..


mine started off so damn good, 9-0 or something like that.

I'm doing this again no doubt, even though I didn't finish so hot I played every day for the entire season and last year was my very first time playing so now I got me some experience.

I would much rather have a 10 man league instead of a 12 man because so many people that joined just didn't play and a lot of good players went to waste.

thats true....10 man league is more dependable. and the teams should be even better... i bet you draft darryl strawberry first overall, because he was a star in the early 90's.

I up for playing in the league hit me up with the info in this thread when you make the league.

I want to play.........pm me with the details when it starts please.

Okay so far we have:

Gringo
Fix
Blood
Lefty
Saadmon

delegate who you pick to play very carefully cause I will have a few people that will want to join and they will play all year.

Okay.

Hey, as far as the 10/12 man league goes...

A 12 man league with guys who will actually play all year makes it more competitive, since you have to make big decisions on the waiver wire as well as the draft. It makes you do a little work on picking prospects and knowing who is hot and who is not.

That's why I'd prefer a bigger league, in addition to just being able to include more cats in this beast.

Just save me some extra spots for some dudes that I know.

So far we've got:

i dont really remember it..... i dont want as many offensive categories though... i think there was a category for 1b, 2b, and 3b. i would like singles and doubles lumped into the same category and triples seperate. average, hits, walks, triples, homeruns and stolen bases are the only offensive categories i like. wins, era, whip, and saves are the only pitching ones worth counting.... unless there is a category for innings pitched.

Friends of mine, I put it all in the PM I just sent you. It might be only 2 or 3 but save me 4 because we have plenty of time to fill the league up cause we ain't drafting until spring training is over.

I liked the scoring we had last year and we should keep it the same.

A reason it's cool is because there is always something to look at every day. With football you have to wait a week to see how your players did....baseball adds a bit more drama because everything mounts throughout a whole week.

Scoring is as follows right now:

Runs, Hits, Sin, Dbl, Trp, HR, RBI, TB, Stl, Avg

Wins, CG, SH, SV, ER, K's, ERA, WHIP

10 offensive categories, 8 pitching categories...

Positions:

C, 1b, 2b, 3b, SS, IF, OF, OF, OF, Util, Bench, Bench, Bench

SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, P, Bench, Bench, Bench

10 offensive slots, 8 pitching slots, 6 bench slots....

As you can see there is a slight advantage towards hitting catgories...but pretty even overall.

And does each category get just 1 point? Or is it more for HR and SO and shit like that.....could you elaborate a bit for this rookie.

And does each category get just 1 point? Or is it more for HR and SO and shit like that.....could you elaborate a bit for this rookie.

They all pretty much carry the same weight. 1 home run gets you 1 point in the home run category, 1 steal gets you 1 steal in the steal category.

The only thing you have to remember is that home runs are a dime a dozen. there are several guys that can get you 25+ home runs a year. there are only a few that can get you several steals while maintaining other good numbers.

Another thing to remember Saadmoncometh:

A home run is good for 4 total bases. Since we play with total bases, home runs are slightly higher in value since they boost up the TB category so much.

So a guy like Alfonso Soriano is EXTREMELY valuable in this type of league since he posts good home run AND steal numbers. Another guy who is very valuable is Jose reyes, because he gets you very good run/dbl/trp/stl numbers while still hitting a decent amount of home runs. Carl Crawford is the same way.

Barry Bonds.

It's not really that much different than standard rules...

Standard rules you have:

R, HR, RBI, STL, AVG

W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

This gives a slight advantage to batting...but that's more fun anyway. What it REALLY balances out is the abuse of POWER numbers. You can win a league with a lineup of power hitters because they'll just mash homeruns and the runs/rbi's will follow. With the other categories you have to have some good batters who can hit for average....then the doubles/triples/etc will follow.

gringo don't worry about competition. I'll be playing the whole season. I usually have a couple of fantasy baseball teams per year. Anyway the stats look good. I think you should take out singles because you have hits. And just use doubles snd tripples. I haven't kept up with the off season at all so I'll be hittin the books on fantasy baseball soon.

good to know. i will probably end up taking out singles, but it makes guys like ichiro lethal in that category since he usually is tops in the league in that category.

taking it out would keep fix happy though since it'd be more even as far as offense/pitching goes. 9-8 ratio as opposed to 10-8 or whatever it was.

I have a very good strategy this year. Just wait until you see some of the magic I pull out. I did so well last year because of my trades. I got howard and rollins from someone for chase utley and aubrey huff, i got carl crawford for papelbon, i got abreu/holliday and sanchez (nl batting title) for rollins gayrod and some other folk who i didn't end up missing too much.

It's all in the mid-season moves. If I get a top 3 pick it's gonna get ugly.

I did get #1 and of course I took gayrod who sucked it up big time. If I get #1 this year I'll probably go Reyes, Pujols or Soriano. You can't really go wrong with any of those guys.

Even if you get the 4th, 5th or 6th though...worst you are looking at is Howard, Santana or A-Rod. Not too bad...

A weekend draft is what we need.

Agreed! I vote for sunday night. It is the last day of ST and that way there are no excuses!

this sunday or next sunday?

This one works better for me but next sunday is the last day right???

Actually the Mets and St. Louis are on next sunday. That is the only game but its the first game of the season.

As it stands the draft is set for Thursday, March 29th at 7:00pm EDT. FairPole can't swing that one understandably.

Would a Wednesday (28th) draft at 10:00 work for everyone? Or how about a late draft Monday (26th) night?

Monday works. Wednesday is the same as thursday for me.

I can do it tomorrow or monday, just name the time.

Okay the draft time will be changed to Sunday, March 25th at 9 p.m. EDT.

If you read this, PM everyone else you know who is in the league from boxingscene. I'm getting drunk tonight so I won't remember. Thanks.

Cancel that, the only time open on Sunday is 10 PM. Can you all do 10?

I can, I take it that's eastern time?

10pm is way to late, I have to be awake at 6am mon-fri.

Don't be such a knuckle shuffler! How bout sometime monday night then???

Can everyone swing monday night? Say 8 or 9 PM?

I can swing it!

:luvbed: someone has to make a stand.....9pm Mon night....k fuckers?Gringo hook it up since you in charge......I don't have all week to try and schedule a fucking draft.

I just don't want to hear anyone bitch about missing the draft. But I guess you can't please everybody.

push it back an hour..... i wont be home until at least 7 eastern...

push it back an hour..... i wont be home until at least 7 eastern...

can't do it. yahoo draft slots are all filled up from 7-9 monday through friday.

6:45 is dinner time. i'd think most people could swing that time...but my schedule is different than everyone elses. this wasn't a convenient time for me either, but i think this will be the best for the majority.

fuck...... ill have to rearrange some shit...

10pm is way to late, I have to be awake at 6am mon-fri.

gringo/fix breakdown

infield - me

outfield - you

starters - me

closers - you

you have more power, but my overall hitting is better. sizemore, ramirez and utley are monsters in this format. i have all kinds of up and coming talent like the three i just mentioned as well as delmon young/alex rios/ryan zimmerman/prince fielder/alex gordon/etc.

pitching is close. i have the power pitching approach down. if smoltz has a good season i should be rolling. zambrano is a stud, igawa is supposed to be dice-k-esque, cain is supposed to be like schmidt in his prime, and i have two of the best middle relievers in the game. i think i'll have low era/whip every week...posting a good amount of wins and a ton of K's.

I need another true closer though. papelbon is a stud but tankersley is unproven.

you have a good team though sir. we dont play until like week 10 so we could have a good showdown provided both of our teams do well.

I need a couple people for my Yahoo league. I send out a trophy to the winner at the end of the league, provided you live in the US. Draft is Saturday.

i think my starters are the best in our league...


halladay 16 wins

verlander 17 wins

bedard 15 wins

wang 19 wins

garland 18 wins

beurhle 12 wins

sanchez 10 wins

francis 13 wins

all of these guys are capable of winning 15-20 games this year..... i tried to focus on some of my weaknesess from last year. i tried to beef up on pitching and power/average hitting... i dont have any real speed guys though, only two of my players had more than 20 stolen bases...



my real weakness is shortstop, drew isnt a proven guy, i hope he pans out.



i like the look of your team from catcher to ss.... all 4 guys have some serious potential for some big numbers. i really like hanley ramirez.

I don't know if my team is quite good enough to reach the playoffs. I could be in the same boat I was in last year, 9th place.:(

if i were you, id drop eckstien(no reason to have three short stops) and pick up another pitcher. cla meridith is still available, 50 innings pitched last year only gave up 6 runs. had a 1.07 era and .71 whip.... i would take him, but im pretty loaded up on pitching.

you have some solid pitching but you have no roation of guys.....you could get some extra innings from a guy like meridith. eckstien has no fantasy value...

there is 6 spots, your team looks solid. i could see you in the better half of the league.

I agree, my team looks a lot better than last years old man squad. I'll look into adding 1 extra pitcher though, thanks for the reply.:cool:

It appears I have a solid pitching unit and thats about it.......does pitching play into it enough to do well with solid pitching?

Are you sure meridith gets playing time cause his stats looks less than mediocre.

Here's my breakdown of your team blood...

Batting

Pros:
-You have a few solid power guys. Giambi, Jones and Swisher are all good for 30+ HRs.
-You have a couple of comeback kids in Cantu and Lugo who should return to their 2005 forms.

Cons:
-You don't have enough versatility or sleeper prospects. Wright and Damon versatile guys but that's about it. You need some guys who can hit for average/power and who can swipe some bags.

-Too much dead weight on your bench. This affects your pitching which I will discuss later. You should drop guys like Eckstein and Alou, who will have little value as backups.

-Not enough consistency. Andruw Jones, Giambi, Hawpe, Swisher, etc are all WAY too streaky. Wright and Johjima were nice picks as they will bring some consistent hitting, but a lot of your guys are streaky or don't play all of the time. You don't have 1 single batter with more than 600 ABs!

Pitching

Pros:
-Quite simply, you have two of the very best starters in the game in Peavy and Carpenter. Both guys are power pitchers who will keep their era/whip down this year while striking out a ton of batters. Both guys pitch deep into games and are liable for CG gems from time to time.

-You have two old, but phenomenal closers in Hoffman and Wagner. If both are healthy this year you will have 2 quality save guys who don't blow a lot of saves. Wagner is also good for striking out a batter or two every game or so.

-You have some other good pieces like Zito and Shields. The importance of really good middle relievers like Shields goes completely overlooked in this game.

Cons:
-Again, not enough young talent. Dempster is inconsistent and could lose his spot if he posts another year like last year. Mulder battled injuries last year and he has to be watched. You need some young hurlers who could bring some key break out performances to your team.

-Not enough depth. Carpenter, Peavy and Zito are nice, but they alone may not get it done every week. Pitching depth is needed because sometimes you can win the majority of pitching categories by simply overpowering whoever you're playing. Starting a lot of pitchers every week will lead to more opportunities for wins/K's/shut outs/CG/saves...

Notes and Suggestions

-There are a few quality guys out there you should keep your eye on. Jacque Jones can put up numbers at times and he's hitting in a nice spot in that fat Cubs lineup. Another guy who could bring consistency to your lineup would be Luis Gonzalez. His 52 doubles last year were nice and he could give you an upgrade on the bench.

-There are some younger guys who excelled last year with limited ABs that you should watch for. Andre Ethier, Reed Johnson, Kaz Matsui and Jose Lopez are all worth following. they should all see a rise in production this year.

-Grab some more pitchers to stabilize your rotation and give you some options in case someone gets hurt. San Diego has a couple of worthy pitchers around with Cla Meredith and Clay Hensley. Vincente Padilla had a decent season last year and could be a good option as a 5th/6th starter. Other pitching upgrades include Brandon McCarthy and John Maine. McCarthy is a live arm who has filthy stuff when his mechanics are on. He didn't have eye catching numbers last season, as he was used incorrectly as a set up guy in Chicago. The move to Texas' starting rotation should see him post 12-14 wins with an ERA around 4 and 150+ K's this season. He has a lot of potential.

And that concludes it BB. That's my analysis. Feel free to take any advice or to reject it. You could compete with the top 6 in this league if you stay on top of starting your guys daily. You will also need to make some moves throughout the season to ensure yourself a spot at the title. This means checking the hard stats and splits on players early in the season. There are always a couple of guys who have breakout seasons so you need to grab any guys who happen to fit that bill. Boom.

And this is why you are the fantasy baseball king.:cool:

I went ahead and made some moves and took some of you guys advice, I hope this team can contend for the play offs this year because I played every week of the season last year and finished 9th.:grr:

Gringo can you give me an overview like you did of Badbloods team.......

we'll see....I have to sit down this weekend and take a good look at what I got and whats available......I did not know how complex this was.....it is much harder than football and basketball.

we'll see....I have to sit down this weekend and take a good look at what I got and whats available......I did not know how complex this was.....it is much harder than football and basketball.

I'm in 2 baseball leagues, an 8 man league which my team is stacked and this 12 man league which my team is better than last years shit squad. I played every day all season except for the week I was on vacation and finished 9th so yes fantasy baseball is very complex.

Week 1 fantasy analysis:

Matchup 1: Gringo vs. Saad...

First and foremost I won't bet against my team. I had *almost* a flawless draft in terms of needs and got many of the guys I was looking to snag. I'm going to predict something like an 11-5 win coming out of the gates for moi. I believe that I'll wrap up the runs/doubles/triples/rbi/steals/total bases/wins/saves/K's/era/whip categories. I can see Saad beating me in hits/singles/avg/HR and possibly taking era/whip off me. CG and SHO are rare so who knows. This is no discredit to Saad, he's just facing a juggernaut this week. Saad I can give you a BB'esque analysis a little later if you'd like.

Matchup 2: Blood vs. Titletown...

An interesting matchup here. Blood has the clear edge in pitching while Title has the clear edge in batting. Unless Dice-K turns out to be an animal, I see blood sweeping many of the pitching categories. This could come down to who gets those CG and SHO categories. I'll go with a 8/8 split here.

Matchup 3: 14-K vs. Jefe...

14-K is my roommate and he's a damned good fantasy manager as evidenced last year when he finished first in the regular season. He has a versatile team that can hit for power and average. I can see Jefe taking some of those power categories like HRs, RBI and TBs. If Jefe stays up on his team he could gets runs too. 14-K has the superior pitching. I say a 9-7 win for 14-K.

Matchup 4: Trojan vs. Legends...

A close one. Trojan has some injuries to start off, but he has a solid batting lineup with speed guys like Figgins/Pierre and power like Cabrera/Beltran. Legends has a versatile batting lineup as well. I think this will come down to a split because both guys are relatively weak in terms of pitching. 8/8 or something close to that.

Matchup 5: Hogs vs. Balls...

Big batting edge to Hogs, slight pitching edge to Balls. Hogs (cracker I think) has one of the better teams in the league in my opinion. I think he jumps out early in the batting categories and his good, under the radar pitching has a solid start. 10-6 win for Hogs.

Matchup 6: Fix vs. FairPolishPower...

FairPole stuck to his name and drafted pure, unadulterated power. Ibanez, Guerrero, Ortiz, McCann, Delgado, Tejada, Jones, etc...all 30 home run+ guys. I think FairPole will grab most of the major power categories, while fix keeps it relatively close because of the smaller hitting categories. Fix has the edge in pitching, I think he'll prevail in a close 9-7 win or something to that effect.

There it is. That's my prediction. Standings at the end of the week:

1 Mitch Bade 11-5-2
2 Groundhogs 10-6-2
3 14-K 9-7-2
3 Fix 9-7-2
5 Blood 8-8-2
5 Title 8-8-2
5 Trojan 8-8-2
5 Legends 8-8-2
9 Polish 7-9-2
9 Jefe 7-9-2
11 Longballs 6-10-2
12 Saad 5-11-2

That's all she wrote.

I really don't get the standing and wins and losses and how that all works.

I would also love it if you could analyze my team a bit and let me know where my weaknesses are and how to better my team.This is my first time and did not realize it was going to be so complex but I am into it either way.I failed to even draft a fucking shortstop and some of the guys I have I don't even know if they are starters.I did feel my pitching stff looked prety decent but I guess time will tell.

I have a good SS in Renteria who I am very willing to part with if I get a good OF or closer in return. I'll try and write up a little analysis later.

renteria is old garbage.....gringo....im going to rape you when we play.

I'd settle with an 8-8-2 to start off the season but I really don't see me losing to titletown this week.

Did last night's game count?? I don't see the numbers on the stat tracker.

the juggernaut has already gotten started. it'll be like this all season boys.

I am lost.....I need to find some more pitchers.This is much more difficult than I thought.....But I will get the hang of it.

I proposed you a trade. Two quality batters and a great pitcher...the SS you are looking for.

I did'nt want to do anything then and I don't know what to do now......I have'nt had the time to really sit down and look things over,I just know I had like 4 pitchers that ended up on the DL.

Yeah. Do a little research and see where you need to need some help. I know I said I'd give you my take on your team but I am busy with school at the moment.

That trade could be a burner though Saad. It honestly helps both teams.

dont trade with gringo.....he'll build up a super power. give it some time before you make any serious deals.

Did last night's game count?? I don't see the numbers on the stat tracker.

i dont have any mets or cardinals....but they should have.

dont trade with gringo.....he'll build up a super power. give it some time before you make any serious deals.

God you're a hater. This deal is much more fair than the pending trade right now. And I thought Blood said his boys knew how to play...Santana for Sheets and Burnett? Laughable.

I'm not a hater though, I'm not going to vote against it.

The trade between myself and Saad would vault both of our teams into the top 5 in the league instantly. It's fair, balanced and it makes sense for both of us. He gets depth, an all-star caliber SS, a power hitting prospect, a proven all-star pitcher....I get an absolute stud and a solid pitcher on a good team.

.......................................

No HR's on the 1st day.:grr:

I say let 14-K & Real Deals trade go through.

I accepted it Gringo......it does make sense for us both from what I can tell so far anyway......

I accepted it Gringo......it does make sense for us both from what I can tell so far anyway......

boosts your pitching and batting, boosts my batting. looks like one of those nice rare deals where both parties win to me.

that trade was pure rape, im looing out for other people right here. myself included, if i can see someone getting assfucked, im going to vote against it.....because it will bight me in the ass later. if that means me not being able to get trades off so be it.



facts are facts.....


pujols is the most gifted offensive player on the planet plain and simple and you want mussina on top of that? fuck outta here.


only think prince is going to lead the league in is strikeouts.... he is unproven. you cant rely on anything....yeah he is capable of going for 50 but than again he could hit 17 and bat .220.... renteria is a nice name....on paper. this aint 97 no more....this isnt team balco.


imo its basically pujols for smoltz......and a chance of 30 and 100 guy...




pujols will get you 50 hr and 130 rbi....


moose will get you 12-15 wins....



renteria may give you 15 homeruns and 15 stolen bases

fielder is anyones guess....

smoltz is a legit starter who will get you 14-18 wins...

im going to veto bad trades and straight up, those were bad trades.... shit throws the balance of the league off. im not hiding behind that shit either, i will tell you right now, i voted against both trades....however, if you dummies still believe those trades help your team( they dont), go ahead, i wont veto a trade twice.


my exact words on the fantasy site....


i just that whoever posts here reads this shit.....its not liking iam making shit up..... before anybody accepts a trade they should really think about it. its 160 plus games a year.





that first trade was stupid as hell



when was the last time either burnett or sheets played a season healthy? never....or atleat not in sometime.

santana like i said, is the best player in baseball.... he lead the league in wins, strikeouts, era, and whip..... thats the quadruple crown....

I have to agree with fix, the last 2 trades was pure shit and I cant believe some of the people that actually tried to sell off some of the best players in the game for decent guys.

Oh and fix, my team isn't old like it was last year, my draft in 07 was far better than my 06 draft so kiss my ass.

i made that in reference of last years team....also known as team balco.

Renteria is an all star caliber player who gets solid numbers everywhere. Guess what Fix...SAAD HAS NO SS! He'll get better production from Renteria there than from anyone else. 100 Runs, 14 homers, 70 RBI, 17SBs, 40 Doubles, near .300 AVG. You don't know what he's good for this year, so shut it.

Everything that has been said about Prince Fielder is positive. Young upcoming slugger who could go for 80 Runs, 30+ HR, 100 RBI, 10SBs this year. With guys like Rickie Weeks, JJ Hardy and Bill Hall hitting around him he can definitely pull those numbers this year.

Smoltz is better than Moose, simple as. Moose had a comeback season last year, he won't post those numbers again. Saad needs the pitching (Oswalt and Kazmir aren't enough on his shallow pitching staff) and Smoltz is a direct upgrade.

So really I'm losing pitching numbers because I can...and I'm trading him two good bats for an elite bat. Pujols is a stud...theres no denying that, but I'm giving him quality 3 players and depth in return.

So to sum up, I'm glad all of you fear my team already. If Saad makes that trade he's already better than 2 of the teams that may have beaten him before. Trades aren't going to be perfect looking to everyone all of the time, but I suppose you guys are just looking for pretty names who have been good in the past. If I trade him Bonds and Smoltz instead will it be fair? They are name guys right? That's fine though. We can have a bullshit league, where no trades go through. You guys are babies. Sorry we couldn't get it done Saad...good luck on the season bud.

i made that in reference of last years team....also known as team balco.

That team was a joke I'll give it to you but I think the 2007 Team BALCO is much better.

Wow, I love it! It's only the 3rd day and this shit is getting heated. Someone give up a closer you cheap bastards!!!

Trust me, I'm open for trades that will help my team but some of these trade deals were fucking god awful and for the commish to even try to stand for that trade he did with Rae was bull shit.

Trust me, I'm open for trades that will help my team but some of these trade deals were fucking god awful and for the commish to even try to stand for that trade he did with Rae was bull shit.

look at his team, his needs...then look at mine.

think about it this way...

if this were the beginning of last year, and i was offering him, say, ryan howard (whose numbers were similar to fielders), renteria and smoltz...for moose and pujols...would it have been bullshit in retrospect? what happens if fielder has a big year like howard did last year and the other guys post the same numbers? not such a bullshit trade huh?

the point is that none of us know what the fuck is going to happen in terms of fantasy numbers this year. that trade made sense for rae and myself. i could get pujols and he could have season ending surgery in a week. whatever though...you guys want to play this league out like this then we can do it. abusing the veto option is quite a bit gay but it's all good.

Trust me, I'm open for trades that will help my team

ha....HAH!

Wow, I love it! It's only the 3rd day and this shit is getting heated. Someone give up a closer you cheap bastards!!!

yeah i could use a good closer too. i only have papelbon and some quality middle relievers.

ok look I know baseball and I know the players we that were in question.....I don't however know very well how all this fantasy shit works.I am learning tho and like I did with my football team which was also my first time playing fantasy with,I will work with what I got and see how it plays out for now.It is a long season like everyone said and shit so far Pujols it hitless....not like thats going to keep up but either way I did think that trade would help my team in the long run especially since I have 2 other 1b that may be able to equal what Pujols does this year between them......anyway I will wait a few weeks before considering anymore tardes just to see how things play out.I am new at this and don't want to fuck myself or anyone else who is playing in the league with us based on my bad moves so fuck it and lets see how things play out for a little bit.

as long as you finish ahead of blood and fix i'll be happy. i could have traded you my two best players for pujols and they would have voted against it because i have em shook. true story.

shut it...


me and blood werent the only ones who pressed the veto button.....maybe there was some substance to what i was saying.

all im saying is give it some fucking time before anyone makes a trade like that... anyway, your trade may have been bad but what the hell was the first one? did you actually think that was a fair trade?


btw i need another closer.....i notice you have joel zumaya(sp?).

what would you think of a possible francis for zumaya deal?

as long as you finish ahead of blood and fix i'll be happy. i could have traded you my two best players for pujols and they would have voted against it because i have em shook. true story.

Yeah I hear ya and even tho the week is not over I would be faring better had I had the players we were talking about trading for initially.....lol either way it don't matter like I said...I am a n00b at this but I am no dummy and I will end up with a fairly respectable team come the end.....lol If I beat them fuckers great....especially badblood.:lol1:

shut it...

No I wouldn't trade Santana for Sheets and whoever else was in there. But I won't vote against it unless people are dumping their best players onto teams for the other guys worst. Real Deal and 14-K don't know each other and both wanted to do the trade so I won't veto it...it takes a lot more than one player to win a league (14-K had Pujols AND Reyes at one point last year).

My trade involved a couple of guys who are all star type players in Edgar and Smoltz and a young up and coming hitter in Fielder. Again...think about Fielder ending up somewhat like Howard last year. He's projected to have a breakout season...the trade would actually favor Saad in that case. Pujols just carries the big name and it scares you guys.

I don't like making insignificant trades...like Zumaya for whoever Francis is. The whole, "it's too early to trade impact players" thing doesn't float with me. I'll trade anyone on my team at any point, but I'm not going to trade minor parts of my team for someone I'll end up dropping.

Fix pay me my 1k and stfu beeeyoch.....:lol1:

31 total bases today. team is deep as fuck. granderson steps in and hits a grand slam for me. barry hit a homer too. this is gonna get ugly.

all i need is real closers and it's gametime.

Fix pay me my 1k and stfu beeeyoch.....:lol1:

i gave you 5000.....whoreface.

No I wouldn't trade Santana for Sheets and whoever else was in there. But I won't vote against it unless people are dumping their best players onto teams for the other guys worst. Real Deal and 14-K don't know each other and both wanted to do the trade so I won't veto it...it takes a lot more than one player to win a league (14-K had Pujols AND Reyes at one point last year).

My trade involved a couple of guys who are all star type players in Edgar and Smoltz and a young up and coming hitter in Fielder. Again...think about Fielder ending up somewhat like Howard last year. He's projected to have a breakout season...the trade would actually favor Saad in that case. Pujols just carries the big name and it scares you guys.

I don't like making insignificant trades...like Zumaya for whoever Francis is. The whole, "it's too early to trade impact players" thing doesn't float with me. I'll trade anyone on my team at any point, but I'm not going to trade minor parts of my team for someone I'll end up dropping.

jeff francis won 13 games last year in colorado.....thats impressive. he aint minor at all.

OG offers me yet another OF for Julio Lugo and I'm in desperate need of a 2B, see what I mean about OG and his trades.:rolleyes:

I'm tired of the bitching already, if you want to trade David Wright for Jorge Cantu I don't give a fuck. I wont veto trades anymore, in fact if I see a trade go through I wont even look at the motherfucker. If people want to trade their superstars away for trash that's up to them and I will finish towards the bottom yet again in OG's league.

The only solace I have is that I'm in another league that has only 8 players in it and every team is stacked.

yeah it's fun when you don't have to try. 8 team leagues suck...10 man leagues are about the minimum. you will only finish towards the bottom of the league if you complain all year like you have this year and last year.

blood that's why theres a "reject trade" button. nobody is holding a gun to your head. i have a plethora of good OF's, i'm trying to shop them. trust me, granderson is 10x better than julio lugo. you could pick up 2 guys better than him right now on the FA wire but i doubt you'd know who to pick up.

Julio Lugo is a transition IF and I need him to rotate, I'm not saying I wont shop him but I will lose my transition 2B,SS,3B for an OF and then I will be stuck with Vizquel as my lone SS and that fucking sucks. I'm not trying to wreck my already shaky team.

I am so lucky that I got to play Gringo in the first week......lol He is shutting me out so far 15-0.....:lol1:

Get the bad week out of the way early man....you'll rebound. I think you have a good team, but there are some pickups you could make to help your team out.

It's anybodys game against BALCO vs titletown terrors.

Now that I got another closer my team is pretty good. A starting pitcher and some quality off the bench are all I need to fix my weaknesses. I think I can compete with anyone in the league now. Some speed wouldn't hurt but you sacrifice too much offense to stick a speed demon out there.

Fix, Liriano is out for the year and the Twins gm, Terry Ryan said that he will not play till next year. Just lookin out for my fellow Minnesotan...

Baseball players are so streaky.......Even if you have some great players they take a shit on ya some weeks.

come on you cunts....i need a closer. quit sitting on your asses and throw some trades my way.

if you don't it'll make me angry and i'll be forced to actually try and out-manage you.

iwas hoping to use him at the end of the year, i thought he was just on the 60 day dl...? oh well cabrera aint shit anyway.

Offer up some of that quality offense that I'm so desperately looking for and maybe we can strike a deal.

i refuse to propose you trades because you whine about them if they don't look good enough to you.

that's why i asked everyone else to propose ME trades if they have a closer they are willing to part with.

cards are on the table. i have many quality outfielders to deal.

im getting my ass handed to me...... no worries though, i cant remember when i last won the first matchup...or i ever have.

Bonds
Granderson
Young
Sizemore
Rios
Markakis

Come on people i'm rolling with the best outfield crew in the league. I don't even know who to start anymore. I could swap these guys for starter and closer upgrades.

Looking for a package deal. All of these guys will put up 80R+ 20HR+ 80RBI+ 5-10SB+ .280AVG+

I also have Renteria and Adrian Gonzalez who will be hot commodities by seasons end.

I'm not the only one who hit the veto button so dont you point your fuck'n finger at me dick head.

While Gringo did brutally rape me.....I noticed my numbers would have faired much better against a lesser opponent.......Fix is going down this week.

And BTW, you offered me an OF for Lugo who can play 2B,SS,3B leaving me screwed on my IF. I didn't bitch about that trade so I don't get where your coming off saying I'm whining, I simply rejected the offer and told you that trade would leave me heavy in the OF and empty on the IF.

You need to lay off the attitude on me cause I haven't done anything or done anything anyone else (fix, etc) has said. In fact I have said I don't give a fuck what you people do as far as trades go, if you want to trade David Wright for Jorge Cantu be my guest. I have plenty of great pitching talent and some decent bats, I asked you if you wanted to do something fair and you blame me for all that has gone wrong.

If you want you can just boot me out of the league if you don't want me to play because I have had just about enough of this fucking blame game.

Quit whining bishes.....it's just a fantasy game.

Quit whining bishes.....it's just a fantasy game.

I'm tired of the blame game already. Fix expressed his feelings and I expressed mine but yet the ENTIRE blame lays on me, figure that one out for me would ya?

I would like to get some trades going for my team since I have some decent guys to deal but this I REFUSE TO TRADE WITH YOU bull shit is getting on my nerves. So I'll tell you what I can do. I'll dump my entire team to FA and y'all can scavenge what I drafted and I'll just play with the 8 man league I'm already in and you all can have fun.

You won't.....I dare you.:D

You won't.....I dare you.:D

Before I play like this for the entire year I'll do it today and just play the other league it's not that big of a deal to me because in the end it's just fantasy baseball and it's not like I have a second team to fall back on. I'll be damned if I'm going to get messages like that all year long from other players.

Yeah and they will regret making fun of me for drafting Aurillia too.....dammit.:lol1:

OG offers me yet another OF for Julio Lugo and I'm in desperate need of a 2B, see what I mean about OG and his trades.:rolleyes:

Weird blood....this looks like whining about the trade to me...

NOT whining would constitute simply rejecting it and saying nothing...or just counter-offering.

And BTW, you offered me an OF for Lugo who can play 2B,SS,3B leaving me screwed on my IF. I didn't bitch about that trade so I don't get where your coming off saying I'm whining, I simply rejected the offer and told you that trade would leave me heavy in the OF and empty on the IF.

Yeah...sure you "simply" rejected the deal. You complain about everything. First it was league settings, then which people were in the league, then a trade I had with someone else, and most recently a trade I offered you which was pretty trivial.

I don't blame you two alone for rejecting the trade, but since you two actually speak on this board and voiced that you rejected it I'll give you a piece of my mind. Obviously others rejected it too, but you two made yourselves known. I have given Fix just as much shit or more about it as I have you, but it's in the past now. I have forgotten it but it seems to have really gotten under your skin.

Speaking of skin, grow some of the thicker variety. Quit acting like a victim.

Fix expressed his feelings and I expressed mine but yet the ENTIRE blame lays on me, figure that one out for me would ya?

Laughable...somebody get some tissues. I said I refuse to propose trades to you because I get responses to them like they were the worst deals of all time. You make WAY too big a deal out of trading...like someone offering you a somewhat unfair trade is violating your integrity. Generally one would just counter propose and such, but you seem to want to go the next step and project like I'm trying to swindle everyone. "See what I mean about gringos trades"...that's bullshit. I traded more than anyone last year, with a lot of success for all teams involved.

Ease up, take a breath, and manage your team. I talk a lot of shit and don't get bothered by other people saying stuff...just how it is. The whole, "I'll just quit and fall back on my 8 man league" talk doesn't concern me at all really...sorry.

While Gringo did brutally rape me.....I noticed my numbers would have faired much better against a lesser opponent.......Fix is going down this week.

You started heating up at the end there. Once Pujols gets his bat going you'll be fine.

yeah I had a crappy week from some of my better players.....so it should get better.You are a beast.....lol

Week 1 fantasy analysis:

Matchup 1: Gringo vs. Saad...

First and foremost I won't bet against my team. I had *almost* a flawless draft in terms of needs and got many of the guys I was looking to snag. I'm going to predict something like an 11-5 win coming out of the gates for moi. I believe that I'll wrap up the runs/doubles/triples/rbi/steals/total bases/wins/saves/K's/era/whip categories. I can see Saad beating me in hits/singles/avg/HR and possibly taking era/whip off me. CG and SHO are rare so who knows. This is no discredit to Saad, he's just facing a juggernaut this week. Saad I can give you a BB'esque analysis a little later if you'd like.

Matchup 2: Blood vs. Titletown...

An interesting matchup here. Blood has the clear edge in pitching while Title has the clear edge in batting. Unless Dice-K turns out to be an animal, I see blood sweeping many of the pitching categories. This could come down to who gets those CG and SHO categories. I'll go with a 8/8 split here.

Matchup 3: 14-K vs. Jefe...

14-K is my roommate and he's a damned good fantasy manager as evidenced last year when he finished first in the regular season. He has a versatile team that can hit for power and average. I can see Jefe taking some of those power categories like HRs, RBI and TBs. If Jefe stays up on his team he could gets runs too. 14-K has the superior pitching. I say a 9-7 win for 14-K.

Matchup 4: Trojan vs. Legends...

A close one. Trojan has some injuries to start off, but he has a solid batting lineup with speed guys like Figgins/Pierre and power like Cabrera/Beltran. Legends has a versatile batting lineup as well. I think this will come down to a split because both guys are relatively weak in terms of pitching. 8/8 or something close to that.

Matchup 5: Hogs vs. Balls...

Big batting edge to Hogs, slight pitching edge to Balls. Hogs (cracker I think) has one of the better teams in the league in my opinion. I think he jumps out early in the batting categories and his good, under the radar pitching has a solid start. 10-6 win for Hogs.

Matchup 6: Fix vs. FairPolishPower...

FairPole stuck to his name and drafted pure, unadulterated power. Ibanez, Guerrero, Ortiz, McCann, Delgado, Tejada, Jones, etc...all 30 home run+ guys. I think FairPole will grab most of the major power categories, while fix keeps it relatively close because of the smaller hitting categories. Fix has the edge in pitching, I think he'll prevail in a close 9-7 win or something to that effect.

There it is. That's my prediction. Standings at the end of the week:

1 Mitch Bade 11-5-2
2 Groundhogs 10-6-2
3 14-K 9-7-2
3 Fix 9-7-2
5 Blood 8-8-2
5 Title 8-8-2
5 Trojan 8-8-2
5 Legends 8-8-2
9 Polish 7-9-2
9 Jefe 7-9-2
11 Longballs 6-10-2
12 Saad 5-11-2

That's all she wrote.

So I was off on just about every prediction except for my own teams matchup with Saad. Polish stomped out fix, longballs took a hard fought win over hogs, titletown terrorized blood, trojan man did a little better than i thought he would, and jefe's bats were hot all week.

This weeks predictions coming up...

gringo/balco - gringo W 13-3-2

saad/fix - saad W 10-6-2

14K/titletown - 14K W 10-6-2

polish/longballs - Tie 8-8-2

There it is.
