Yankees are available
« on: May 18, 2018, 10:20:40 PM »
The Yankees need a replacement GM.  If you are interested, post your particulars in the Official Waiting List thread.

You can view the roster by clicking on the :NYY: icon at the top of the page.  As much as it pains me to say, this storied franchise is in need of a GM who can have the patience needed for a rebuild.

Im throwing my name in here for the position.

I am going to post a follow-up here. For the most part of 5 (?) years I managed the Padres. They were my pet project, cleaning up the mismanagement, while I admitedly learned how to play a keeper fantasy league. I was bamboozled on a deal for my one stud, Adrian Gonzalez, and traded for Hector Rondon, Mat Gamel (before the knee surgeries derailed the whole career), and Martin Perez (when he was still about 17 and a phenom). It was my worst trade, IMO.

I had to move bad deals and wait to draft good prospects. Jake Peavy, with his 14m per and many years remaining, and Heath Bell at 10m(+?) were burdens for the Padres tight cap, and produced little value in return in order to clear the cap.

Fortunately, I did learn to draft. Many of my prospects have turned out. I think I made many value selections and I think it worked out to rebound the franchise.

I believe I even made good trades along the way. I picked Maikel Franco up as a free agent prospect, and turned him into Anthony Rizzo. Papps would approach me many times trying to get Rizzo back.

Finally, I understand I lost the Padres due to an absence where I did not communicate. To be fair, this is the truth. However, please let me tell a few details to enlighten. Colby and I had been working to re-energize the site during the summer of 2016. When issues arrose between him and I it caused my interest in fantasy sports to fall off. The desire to log in and monitor my team wasnt there. The emails had been sending to an account I had established specificially to do business for ProFSL, instead of my personal email account as previously. I wasnt getting the “hey whats up” from the commissioners. It was out of sight out of mind. Do caring managers do this? No. But thesed details may explain the reason for my carelessness. Colby may be able to attest to this in PM for the admins if it is a serious concern.

I am re-energized. I have fun with fantasy sports and would like the challenge of rebuilding any brand. The Yankees are in a good shape for a quick rebuild, IMO. I think they can be at +.500 next year. And winning in the playoffs the year after. It would give me pleasure and pride to be that manager.

All I can say Chris is that your application will be considered. You left the league under not so great circumstances but you are a past owner.
Let the process play out.

 :thumbsup: I love your new found attitude Chris and relate to an attached understanding how the leagues work at this site.  Myself, I am glad I stuck around to research and able to join more leagues here in all sports.

Hi Ernie,

I’m still in this, for sure. Just haven't made any moves yet since I have not felt it's the right time to, but I have been looking into a possible trade or two. It will definitely take some time to get the team back on track from where it is, but I am confident that will happen in good time.

Thank you

Good to hear from you, although it was a little perplexing to see PMs and e-mails go unanswered.  Activity and communication is the lifeblood of any fantasy league, so with that said, we're all glad to see that you're still with us.  For us, we felt it better to error on the side of patience, and in this case, our decision to do so was most fruitful.

All is well in the Bronx! :taco:

I appreciate the support with staying and everything that comes with it and look forward to continue to build up the Yankees to what the Bronx Bombers fans are used too.

  • dbreer23: Cris, there is a reason that you are a good owner, bc you can discern a value deal vs. a BS deal. Not all owners are that savvy. They will eventually leave...
    Today at 12:42:49 PM
  • Brent: Nope, 32-team contract league.
    Today at 12:49:09 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: I don't have Holiday.  Just used him as an example since he was the #1 prospect
    Today at 12:56:05 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: @Alpha I do make trades.  I am just not giving up the entire farm to land a guy I can get out of the FA pool
    Today at 12:59:21 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: Trading should be a win-win situation for both teams.
    Today at 01:00:32 PM
  • dbreer23: Agreed. I think the Devers deal in FGM is a good example of that. Devers gives SD some now (and future) pop, giving up substantial pieces to get him (Mayo, Keith, and one other).
    Today at 01:03:48 PM
  • Brent: I had Holliday in FGM before I stepped away.
    Today at 01:24:07 PM
  • Brent: I am glad I cut back on leagues, I was spread too thin.
    Today at 01:24:25 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: @idsjayhawk i understand that. To be clear, i wasnt judging anyone. I just know in NFL Live, you cant just draft 1-7 rds every year and sign a few FAs and be the champion. It wont happen
    Today at 01:52:08 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Trading isnt easy. But neither is winning
    Today at 01:52:22 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: If you made a list of the most aggressive gms to have stepped foot in nfl live, you will notice the champions will be among them
    Today at 01:53:06 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You arent gonna win every trade and you HAVE to have a plan. Ive made some horrible trades. I have every year
    Today at 01:53:50 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Carolina has kyren williams right now cause i traded him for a 2nd and a 4th. Id rather have kyren today lol
    Today at 01:54:28 PM
  • Brent: Agreed.  I have Amon Ra St. Brown and Aiyuk because I traded JJ.  I couldn't have acquired a player like ASB where I was picking in the 1st so I down tiered at WR to make a trio of Chase, ASB and Aiyuk instead of JJ, Chase and fill in the blank.
    Today at 02:09:02 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: That is probably even more true in baseball since your drafts don't payoff for 5 years or so.  And I will admit my conservatism may be the reason I only have one championship here at ProFSL
    Today at 02:10:04 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: jwalkerjr88 is right
    Today at 02:25:49 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: on that u havat trade a bit here and there
    Today at 02:25:57 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: although my last draft class and fa class kinda lead me to a run so it can happen
    Today at 02:27:21 PM
  • Brent: Yeah, it does help to have a big draft class and available cap.
    Today at 02:36:56 PM
  • Brent: I'm contemplating doing a complete tear down in NFL Live and rebuild.  Honestly, I probably should have postered for it to be this season.  I still might, but I would legit need to go into the draft with 3-4 top 10 picks/+ many others.
    Today at 02:38:21 PM
  • Brent: postured
    Today at 02:38:35 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Yea nailing drafts and some key FAs helps too. But if you remember BAB you traded alvin kamara for the rams 1-7 draft picks. So the extra picks helped you nail the 2023 draft the way you did
    Today at 03:13:02 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Its the combination of all three that is required is what im saying
    Today at 03:13:31 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: And brent a tear down with you assets would look interesting. Personally i just think you need break one big asset down into 3 good ones and move carr and go from there. But you have an A1 nfl mind so im sure you will nail whatever it is you decide
    Today at 03:14:39 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: *your
    Today at 03:14:50 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: very good pt yes i did gain lot of capital which propelled me to make more moves from that trade
    Today at 03:34:25 PM
  • Brent: Thank you.  Yes, I agree.  I do need to break one asset down to 3.  I did that with JJ, went from S tier to 2 A tiers.  Now I need to potentially go from an A tier to 3 Bs or something like that.  I've had some inquiries on Carr, but nothing worth moving him.
    Today at 03:48:17 PM
  • Alpha5: Guarantee I know who he traded Kamara to for 1-7 without even looking
    Today at 05:22:42 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: alpha it was a good trade at the time
    Today at 05:29:49 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: my team was in the Crapter at that pt
    Today at 05:29:58 PM
  • Brent: Who did you draft with the 1st acquired in that trade?
    Today at 05:36:34 PM
  • Daddy: Whoever it was, he got six more choices on top of that. The "win win" scenario.
    Today at 05:53:04 PM
  • Daddy: At that time i had no RB1. So i traded an entire draft class to get one.
    Today at 05:54:10 PM
  • Daddy: SF doubled up his pick haul and went to work, using them in trades & draft return.
    Today at 05:54:46 PM
  • Daddy: Then beat me in the NFC Title game.
    Today at 05:55:32 PM
  • Daddy: RB is a hard position to nail down. If someone wants to trade me 1-7 for Kamara. Step right up.
    Today at 06:02:30 PM

    Today at 06:05:04 PM

    Today at 06:13:59 PM
