The GM Shuffle
« Reply #40 on: January 18, 2017, 02:10:26 PM »
Fantasy baseball leagues like our own FGM, sometimes have twists and turns that no one can anticipate. Our response to those twists and turns is often the tell tale sign whether the league is dealing from a source of strength or dealing from a source of impending failure.

FGM, ProFSL's original dynasty baseball league has been able to sustain itself because of our ability to be proactive and meet the needs of the league.  During the past week, we've had to deal with a couple of messy situations:  the sudden departure of the :MIL: GM and the "resurfacing" of a GM whom we thought had left ProFSL.

The challenge for Rick, and me, is how to rectify a given situation in a fair and just manner.  In this instance, we asked for some help from one of our newest members, Travis (soonerorlitigator).  Travis has agreed to fill the :MIL: vacancy so that we could offer Daniel the :TOR:, his former team.

I thought it was in everyone's best interest to get a more in depth explanation in this instance because we do not usually allow switching of teams.  However, we felt compelled to do all we could to reinstate Daniel as the :TOR: GM and because of Travis' compassion and understanding, we believe that these moves are in the best interests of all parties:  Daniel, Travis, and the entire league.  We hope you agree.

So please welcome the return of Daniel as the "new" GM of the :TOR: and Travis (soonerorligator) as the new GM of the :MIL:

Awesome!  Great job in working this out!!!  Special thanks to Travis for being understanding of the situation.  Daniel is a long time GM and its good to retain him.  Great job Flash and BHows in working something out to retain a long time GM.  Much respect.  :toth:

All credit goes to Ernie. He took the abuse and negotiated the deal.
Thanks Ernie!

Wanna take Toronto huh?  <BAD MOVE> Tampa is here to crush your hopes and dreams son.  My sting Rays are going to hurt the AL East this season.

Kevin, TB

PS:  Taking the Brewers was ingenious.  He foresaw the Devil Ray rising!

I think you made good decision especially when Daniel has owned and built Toronto for good length time.

Rockies have a new GM
« Reply #46 on: February 01, 2017, 01:21:33 AM »
The Colorado Rockies have been searching for a reliable GM who will commit to the team on a long term basis.  We have all seen a variety of GMs come and go over the past three years.

Finally, it seems like the Rockies, and the league, have found a GM who is willing to restore order in Colorado and lead the team back to the playoffs.

Please welcome Art A. (Dirty_Sanchez00)as the new GM of the Rockies.  Art comes to FGM with the a lot experience and enthusiasm, and will be a definite asset to FGM.

Welcome to FGM! :toth:

  • dbreer23: Take two to tango, though. Most owners with adequate or surplus SP aren't interested in prospects as they're trying to win now.
    Today at 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    Today at 02:45:09 PM
  • Braves155: My issue in LIVE currently is having Strider/Alcantara/Giolito all on the long shelf, so I am more retooling than rebuilding
    Today at 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.
    Today at 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    Today at 02:49:45 PM
  • Daddy: I here to tell you that ALL major league pitching is good pitching. A great hitter beats a terrible pitcher just 3 out of 10 times. Which means the worst pitchers > the greatest hitters.

  • STLBlues91: Ill be around the rest of the day for any talks

  • Brent: Greg Maddux had the best outlook.  He viewed himself as tye dealer/house and you had to beat him.  Just like in the casino, the house nearly always wins.
    Today at 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    Today at 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.
    Today at 05:15:18 PM
  • Daddy: There shouldn't be many innings available in FA in dynasty fantasy leagues IMO. Thats guaranteed money! To hell with High A ball.
    Today at 05:21:23 PM

  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development
    Today at 05:57:14 PM
  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen
    Today at 06:02:39 PM
  • Daddy: Mr Braves you are my guy. There isnt anything wrong with minor league studs or flops. I get it in REAL baseball.
    Today at 06:20:28 PM
  • Daddy: This is fantasy baseball. We dont generate revenue selling prospects and merchandising. Our top farms dont get a write up in Sports Illustrated.
    Today at 06:22:29 PM
  • Daddy: Load up on MLB guys, then near MLB guys, and only then is the quality of your prospects matter. Ya dig ;)
    Today at 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
