:NYM: deal late contract impact players to a team with higher ambitions than ourselves in order to get Dean Green who we love and draft picks for our future. :MIA-MLB: to confirm.  Thanks Nicole for the easy trade talks.

Well, as usual, the same person vetoing every deal he's not involved in personally. What else is new.

Aren't 'vetos' designed to prevent collusion between teams OR to prevent a newbie from being taken advantage of?

I see neither happeneing here. All trades have a 'winner' or a 'loser' and that is usually not truly known for several seasons. Our personal perceptions of what fair value means are subjective to our own opinions and are therefore, prejudiced.

Fair value is not what we hould be voting on, for those reasons.

The Mets are simply trading present value for future value. Nothing wrong with that at all. Miami is willing to trade future value for present production. Nothing wrong with that either.

Anyone who claims to know what the actual value of this trade will be down the road, is fooling themselves.

I feel trade committees invite disputes. The same people always making trade decisions, who also participate in trades themselves, opens the door for partisan voting.

Other than the draft, there is no other way to improve your team in this league, as there are really no free agents worth rostering.

Having a small group in control of what trade is fair or not, isn't good.

I think the scoring for pitchers could use some work. I know we can't change anything until at least 2016 at the earliest but the negative points in particular dont make sense for pitchers.

Example from a couple of days ago....

Shoemaker gives up 5ER on 7 hits, 3Bb, 2K in 3 innings
De la Rosa gives up 7ER on 9 hits, 1BB, 3K in 2 innings

Looking at the lines they seem close with De La Rosa a little worse giving up 2 more earned runs in one fewer inning.

Fantrax scoring?
Shoemaker  (-25.6)
De La Rosa (-5.6)

The difference was Shoemaker gave up 2 HRs while De La Rosa didnt give up a HR

The way the scoring is now a pitcher gets roughly the same negative score for giving up a solo HR as they do for giving up 4 runs on 5 consecutive doubles.

There should be less focus on HRs in the pitcher scoring, more on earned runs (which there is none)

The league prides itself on accuracy and realism but shoemaker didn't put his team in a much worse position to win than De La Rosa

I agree completely.

Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Archives / New rule idea for 2016
« on: July 30, 2015, 10:02:40 PM »
I'd like to see a debate regarding rules for MLB rosters. I feel that every team should field a full roster of MLB players.

Having an MLB roster of minor leaguers is not in-line with reality.

There are no MLB teams which do not field a team of players on MLB contracts.

This league loves to refer to itself as being about replicating MLB.

As long as teams are allowed to have a roster of players who are not in the Majors, this league is NOT replicating major league baseball.

This "non rule" needs to be heavily revisited by the league.

« on: June 09, 2015, 02:38:14 AM »
I noticed the Astros demoted 19 players to the minors a few days ago, but I couldn't find where they were exposed to waivers in any transactions folders.

Aren't all players in the majors exposed to waivers for 48 hours, before being assigned?

I'm sure our league doesn't have "options".

  • Braves155: Been starting to get into these older games that originally ran off DOSBOX for those who know what I'm talking about. The idea is you build your team with a salary of XXX and then every 2-3 seasons you have decisions to make. Field a 26 man roster, control your own pitching rotation, pen, lineup & bench like the true MLB. Draft every season where there's a lot of turnover. Interesting for sure.

  • indiansnation: NFL Report: Commanders' rookie QB Jayden Daniels may soon be banned from the NFL Jayden Daniels, the 2nd overall pick in the 2024 Draft, has made a huge mistake that could get him banned from the NFL even before making his debut with the Washington Commanders.  NFL News: Commanders' president unveils team's plans for name change NFL News: Magic Johnson makes his first big decision as co-owner of the Commanders Updated on May 10, 2024 10:51AM EDT  Jayden Daniels was selected by the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL Draft ? Julio Aguilar/Getty ImagesJayden Daniels was selected by the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL Draft By Fernando Franco Puga  The Washington Commanders have received some very bad news. Jayden Daniels, who they picked with the 2nd overall pick in the 2024 Draft, may soon be banned from the NFL after violating a very important rule.   In the 2024 NFL Draft, several teams were in need of a top quarterback to bolster their offenses. With the 2nd overall pick, the Commanders decided to select Jayden Daniels, one of the best prospects at the position.  Daniels had a remarkable path through LSU, even breaking some of Joe Burrow’s records. However, the quarterback’s career is now in jeopardy after he admitted to breaking the league’s rules regarding gambling.   Jayden Daniels openly admits to violating the NFL’s gambling policy Worrying news has arrived in Washington today. Jayden Daniels, their 1st-round pick this year, has openly admitted to violating the NFL’s gambling policy, and his rookie season is in jeopardy.  NFL Draft: Jayden Daniels admits whether he'd like to play for the Washington Commanders SEE ALSO  NFL Draft: Jayden Daniels admits whether he'd like to play for the Washington Commanders  During a recent appearance on the “All Facts, No Brakes” podcast, Daniels revealed that he has a bet with Malik Nabers, the New York Giants‘ 6th overall pick, on who’s going to be this year’s NFL Offensive rookie.   “Man, he wasn’t supposed to tell nobody,” Daniels said about Nabers revealing the bet. “We got a little something going on. I mean, he put it out there, so it’s like I can’t say he cap.”  Keyshawn Johnson, host of the podcast, asked Daniels about the bet. The quarterback admitted that the wager for $10,000 is real, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the question.    Jayden Daniels Jayden Daniels with LSU “Going against him is gonna be fun,” Nabers said, via the New York Daily News. “We got a bet going for Rookie of the Year. Whoever loses gotta pay, I think it’s $10,000 cash.”  Nabers and Daniels were teammates at LSU. They are set to meet in at least two games in the upcoming season. However, this gamble could get them both banned from the NFL, as they are clearly violating the league’s gambling policy.  What does the NFL gambling policy says about betting? This situation will pose a huge challenge for the Commanders and the Giants. The league strictly prohibits players from engaging in any form of gambling related to the NFL, as it undermines the integrity of the game.  SEE ALSO  2024 NFL Draft picks by team: How many picks does each team have?  The policy explicitly prohibits ‘private wagers between teammates, family and friends, or others.’ This situation could land the two rookies in trouble, potentially resulting in a ban for the former LSU players.  SURVEY Should Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers be banned over their bet?  Yes No ALREADY VOTED 1162 PEOPLE  Fernando Franco Puga Fernando Franco is an accomplished writer and sports journalist specializing in soccer, NFL, MLB, and MMA.
