2009 MLB Dynasty League (bigboy shocks the world!)

Pitching is hella easy to find. I already have Greinke, Weaver, Johnson, and Billingsley. Not to mention there are about 4 to 5 pitchers on the waiver wire that would be on my team if we didn't have a roster limit.

Aaron Hill coming into the season was a .750 OPS guy with no speed. Now his true talent is at best .800 OPS with no speed. ZiPS projects him for a .780 OPS the rest of the season.

What do you want for Howie?

Edit- Sett you suck at math, go look at Hill's age again.

Shoot me a proposal.

Can't sneak anything by bigboy.

Teixeira is loving life hitting in front of A-Rod. If anyone wants Tex for some good young pitching or something like that and will pay me for him like the fringe top 10 player he is then he's available.

Ouch, Schafer gets demoted just as he loses rookie eligibility... it's a cruel world.

Post #646 » by **CFan21** » Thu Jun 4, 2009 6:26 pm

If anyone wants dibs on Jordan Schafer, you can have him for a third round prospect pick.

What, for that worse than waiver wire fodder. I'll give you a third for Hanson.

Cobb, Zobrist for Greinke?

Looks like Stanton is moving up to AA, kid is good, I'm thinking he'll struggle a little though.

Accept the trade or your not moving in.

Man I can't do that, he's on pace to steal 100 AND the best reliever in the game. Plus I don't need Howie anymore now that Ben "Chase Utley" Zobrist has 2B eligibility.

You can take a 2nd and 3rd round prospect pick too. Just send me some trades and lets work something out. I don't want Bruce. I need some change in my fantasy life.

I have way too much badass pitching than I know what to do with. Alderson, Parker, Bumgarner, Cain, Peavy, Beckett, Scherzer, and Hughes if he ever decides to not suck on a consistent basis.

Milwaukee needs to call up Alcides Escobar so I can get me some steals. Bonifacio was only good for a week and I've been holding onto him all this time.

I could really use Evan Longoria right about now with how God-awful Garrett Atkins has become. Brett Wallace needs to become a stud for reals ASAP. F*cking Homer Bailey...

I used to think pitching was my weakness, but it's turning into a strength lately. I think Verlander, Gallardo, Halladay, Wainwright, Carpenter, Lee, Burnett and Zack Duke with Tommy Hanson and Brett Anderson in the wings and Tillman and Wade Davis soon after is a comparable, if not better group.

That said, I'd probably switch pitching staffs with Chach right now.

Post #653 » by **Chach** » Sat Jun 6, 2009 12:43 pm

Eh, maybe two years down the road right now. I'd consider trading staffs with you right now as well. I have a TON of talent but where the hell am I going to fit it all AND when is everyone going to start pitching to their potential. Everyone has been inconsistent and now I need to find a place for Detwiler and Holland. I'm considering punting saves just to make room on my roster because Porcello and Holland have RP eligibility and Holland should have it next season as well. If only my offense would stay healthy and productive, I might actually win a week.

Sorry bigboy, that trade was just too over-reaching to wrap my head around it. mahalo

TRADESSSS TRAAAAAADESS. Propose me stuff people. I'm revamping my team.

Post #655 » by **Chach** » Sat Jun 6, 2009 9:21 pm

I have four guys on the DL and two N/A minor leaguers. Can you say "There's always next year"? Christ almighty. mahalo

Just as a heads up, Sett your add/drops get locked tonight at midnight for not picking up Schafer. Also, Bigboy, your add/drops get locked on Tuesday for not picking up Rasmus. No one else needs to worry at the moment.

Also, I am not sure the ruling on past IP and AB because there would be a couple of players that have lost rookie eligibility in 2008 and 2009 combined and would require a pick up.

Post #657 » by **TyCobb** » Mon Jun 8, 2009 3:38 am

Yet bigboy was still picking up people...

He meant it in a future tense, not past. Silly you.

Its all AB or IP in the players MLB career, so whoever those players are need to be brought up.

kazanovicz · Post #659 » by **kazanovicz** » Mon Jun 8, 2009 1:20 pm

I think Sett needs to step in here because I don't feel I have the power to tell managers they have to pick people up seeing as I joined the league at the beginning of this year. Being a newbie still sucks

Post #660 » by **sunshinekids99** » Mon Jun 8, 2009 3:57 pm

Nothing against you Kaz, but I don't understand why Sett is not doing this to begin with? My biggest concern with it is Kaz can't lock anybody and has to wait for Sett anyways.

As for my issues, I'd like to announce that one of my closers can be had for trade.

We have four attractive options out there:

1. Bobby Jenks 13 Saves with a 3.51 era
2. Brian Wilson 15 Saves with a 3.58 era
3. Trevor Hoffman 15 saves with a 0.00 era
4. Frank Francisco 12 saves with a 0.46 era

I'm really looking for bats, but I'll move one for the right starter as well.
