Yea this 20 teamer was more of an 'on a whim' type thing. Yahoo public league. Completely random. I suppose I might be singing a different toon if I knew some peeps.

 

[Virtanen18]

I miss having Yelich.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I wish my leagues were more active. Heck, I think there hasn't been a trade all year in three of my leagues, and the deadline is Sunday.

 

[darko]

Hey I'm doing my part. Swung 2 trades (with the same manager).

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Start Ellsbury or Billy Hamilton?

 

[rangerssharks414]

Start Ellsbury or Billy Hamilton?

Billy. He has 16 steals in his last 10 games.

 

[Virtanen18]

Ha, down by 3 after the Harrison RBI single in the top of the 9th. My boy Nicasio comes in and has a clean inning with 1 K to get me 4 pts and a win

That's what the dude gets for starting Brett Anderson.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I traded McCullers in a package to get Greinke, and I am now trading Aaron Sanchez in a package for J.D. Martinez. I'm going for it!

I think you'll eventually regret that trade but hey I can understand why you did it. Similar to my Russell + for Wainwright trade. At some point you gotta go for it.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

In order to truly "go for it" (tm), you need to acquire all the relievers

Yeah, I think you'll regret yours as well. But hey, flags fly forever.

Injuries and not having a deep staff meant I was starting Tom Koehler and co. Ugh.

After losing Stanton I took a shot with Aaron Judge. Other OFs available were Tyler Naquin and Travis Jankowski. Trea Turner is also available and I could slot him in at UTIL.

Add Turner before someone else does!

Edit: Turner may be OF eligible depending on your league's settings.

The irony is basically Judge is who I have to replace Stanton with in my 16-team dynasty league but that's only cause my team has a Yankee farm affiliation so Judge was protected for me. Otherwise I'd be replacing Stanton with like Keon Broxton lol (though he's actually been decent lately for what he is).

You'd think one of these years Stanton would get hurt in May instead of August

 

[Satan]

Billy Hamilton GOAT

 

[rangerssharks414]

Billy Hamilton GOAT

And... now he's hurt.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

And... now he's hurt.

Shocking.

I love watching that guy play though.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Stanton was cut in my 12 team, keep any 6 forever league. Thank you very much... I'll take him.

 

[Brodeur]

Holding 2nd place in my AL Only roto league. A little bit annoyed that this one guy keeps putting huge blind bids on free agents. Mostly because he's in second to last place and was virtually dormant through the first three months of the season. I don't quite get his logic. Six weeks of Andrew Benintendi isn't going to put you in the money.

But alas, free agent pickups cost additional money in our league, so that's more (presumably) for me in the end.

That guy must have 6 other really ****ing good players.

 

[rangerssharks414]

That guy must have 6 other really ****ing good players.

Nope. I honestly think my team is better than his, but I'm 10 games behind him. It's been a lost season for me in that league.

Although... my keeper situation is looking pretty good for next year.

Edwin Encarnacion
Carlos Gonzalez
Kris Bryant
Xander Bogaerts
Giancarlo Stanton
Bryce Harper

 

[Satan]

my league's tdl was today, i set up three trades that sort of interlocked because i was sick of Chris Davis' slash line

traded Lackey for Hosmer

traded K Rod for Salazar

traded C. Davis, Dexter Fowler, Joe Musgrove for Pedro Alvarez, Zach Britton, Estrada


happy with my moves

Division 2 should be relegated.
