As long as bigboy keeps an open roster spot on his roster, I don't see the issue. If he has a max roster and he still had 11 guys, I'd definitely see a competitive advantage problem. But bigboy is at a disadvantage by carrying one less guy so I don't see why it is so unfair to everyone else in the league. If people have a beef with it then cool but I don't think many of us really care. mahalo

Attention everyone. Benny and KG have had their add/drops locked because they aren't picking up their graduated prospects. I've sent emails, made announcements and etc. and they have both been given much more then the regular time to pick up those players. Benny and KG, please post here or contact me directly to make a roster move.

Also, bigboy, you need to get down to 10 prospects. I've been flexible, now you need to follow the rules in the situation you created. If none of your prospects are in the Yahoo! system, I guess you'll just have to drop someone.

I renounce my rights to Daric Barton and will add Votto as soon as you unlock my lock.

Thanks benny.

Re to Chach and bigboy: I didn't even know Rasmus was in the Yahoo! system before and that just makes it even easier to get down to 10 prospects if you want to bigboy. This isn't a matter of competitive advantage, it's a matter of following the rules.

I've been flexible, albeit with some nudging from Chach, and I simply can't allow the rules to keep getting pushed or else the commissioner isn't really the commissioner and the rules aren't really the rules. I did my part before allowing the 11 prospects, now you, bigboy, need to do your part and get your prospects down to 10. I don't care it you add Rasmus or drop one of your 16-year-olds, just do it.

[bigboy1234]

Oh, so harsh.

Drop one of my 16 year olds, please. Those are my babies. I'll drop one of my old guys in Fautino de los Santos.

PS Damn Samardzija sucks.

[CFan21]

Thanks bigboy. All is well in the Dynasty League right now. For those interested, Ryan Church and Jose Guillen are on the block for a closer.

[bigboy1234]

No problem, someone needed to tell you he sucked.

[CFan21]

Whoa whoa whoa. I meant thanks for dropping Fautino de la Mancha. Samardzija is nasty. 2.19 ERA over his last three games.

[bigboy1234]

Yeah, that TJ he just had really did rise his prospect status so it was hard for me to let go.

And good point, Samardzija=stud. Probably the best 3 games of his life.

[Chach]

There is a trade to announce. Fukudome is being traded to SportsWorld and I will be receiving the rights to Jacob McGee and Kevin Aherns. Because I am trading for the rights to players, I will be dropping Fukudome and SW will pick him up after he clears waivers. Or Sett can simply add him to SW's club with his amazing commish powers. mahalo

Let the Jed Lowrie era begin. The Ryan Theriot stop-gap thing is getting old. If anyone has a good SS or closer to part with I'm willing to pay a pretty penny.

[TyCobb]

Hi, I'm Danny Duffy and I'm one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball. But let's keep this a secret and not tell anyone about me, because I like being underrated. Till next time!

[bigboy1234]

Fun fact, Dan Duffy dreams about Neftali Feliz who went after him in this leagues draft.

[CFan21]

Just so you guys know, I'm interested in trading my surplus outfielders for a closer or a good starting pitcher. By surplus I don't mean that they're crap players, I've just decided that my OF core is Vlad, Beltran, Ichiro, Pence and Delmon. That leaves Ryan Ludwick and Jose Guillen for those interested.

Ryan Ludwick was an All-Star this season who is currently ranked 21 in the Yahoo! system. He's hitting .289 with 21 HR, 65 RBIs, 60 Rs and even 4 SB. Ludwick has a .962 OPS, 10th in all of baseball.

Jose Guillen is currently ranked 118. He has a .270 average with 13 HR, 65 RBIs and 41 Rs. But if you take out his bad first month of the season when he was hitting below the Mendoza line, he's really been hitting .300 since straightening things out.

[Chach]

Do you smoke rocks? You think I'm trading Lackey for half a great season by Ludwick? mahalo
~Chach~

[TyCobb]

Why are people picking up other peoples prospects?

[CFan21]

Just caught on to Kevin Slowey. What others were you talking about Ty?

[TyCobb]

Is Ubaldo no longer BG's?

[CFan21]

Is Ubaldo no longer BG's?

BG no longer owns Ubaldo. I think he dropped him.

[CFan21]

Do you smoke rocks? You think I'm trading Lackey for half a great season by Ludwick? mahalo
~Chach~

Chachi, Lackey is like, what, the third best starter in that rotation now?? Ludwick seems like the real deal though, to me at least, I've just got a really stacked outfield. Seriously, nobody wants Ludwick?

[TyCobb]

My outfield > yours.

Make sure you update the first page of prospects. Morales is now available to everybody now since Chach dropped him.
