Covers Fantasy Baseball Discussion Thread Part 8

I love the trade deadline.

Woke up early today to follow it. Stayed by my computer to see if there were any relievers to pick up who may be new closers. I was curious to see who the Yanks would get.

Very disappointing trade deadline for me. Well...as far as the 31st goes.

If you face the Phillies or Giants in the World Series than yes. But until then...you're riding the offensive wave that should take you to the World Series.

And then you have that whole thing with Bedard and hating the big lights and has shown that his "character" is a problem.

But yo shouldn't worry. Your offense is stacked in a scary way.

And this was a terrible week for me. I tried to play it conservative by just getting my max innings and keeping a low ERA...but Hellboy messed that up on Monday and URISS just had a sick pitching performance this week.

Then I lost Youkilis for a game and a half.
I lost Cruz for 2 and a half games.
No Beltre or Cargo for at least another week.
And Jeter and Granderson had an off day AND Girardi held them out of Game 1 of the double header.
And now Jeter is hurt.

It was just one of those weeks for me. Never had a chance.

Anybody want Espinosa? He's going to be moving to shortstop next season. That's some nice production for a SS if you want to give him your prospect contract...

sparky: not interested in espinosa cause i have ackley and jennings..  and i dont want latos back unless u want a 5th Rd'r for him.. or a 4th and 8th  

and u know Jamoaks doesnt trade so why bother ??  he's not gonna trade so stop wasting your time then getting frustrated over it..  what SP is it ?? and what Rd ? i might be interested

It's Chacin for a 2nd and Hellboy for a 3rd.

Even if someone doesn't like the offer or finds it stupid...there's a decline button. I know he doesn't trade but I figured I'd gve it a shot. Apparently he doesn't trade players and completely ignores draft picks.

even if guys are taking a vacation its no excuse to leave your team untouched.. you can set the roster for a week in advance or ask ManRam to edit it for you for a few days..  i went on a 4 day vacation and still edited my team every day and also added and dropped players and kept checking in on my team cause i was down 10-0 when i left and wound up winning 5-4     i guess some of us take it more serious then others but i cant see jesron being mad and acting that way just over the roster lock situation.. 

hey ManRam, im thinking over your one proposal, waiting to see if 2169 wants to get back to me cause he offered me an ok deal also.   

Nothing since the 28th, though.

Whatcha lookin for buddy?

How so? I thought the winner of the comp. tourney gets the #1 pick. So they have something to fight for. It's not something that was ever set in stone but I remember talking about that and phillyfan told me I was right the last time I mentioned it.

Doesn't matter to me, however, since my team is fucked draft wise.

As for what I'm looking for. I'm trying to trade off Hellboy, Espinosa and Chacin for some picks. I guess I read it all wrong. Nobody seems to care about the prospect contract that can be put on the first 2.

I sell the guys as this. Hellboy is expected to be a STUD. He's shown signs of greatness and is still good when he's pitching poorly. And Espinosa will be a power/speed guy (low average) and will move to SS next season.

Wow. It's amazing. If you follow that WAR stat at all...the WORST among all of MLB is Adam Dunn at -1.8. The 2nd worst is a tie between Aubrey Huff and ANOTHER WHITE SOCK in Alex Rios at -1.7.

That's AMAZING that 2 people on the same team are the worst in baseball.
