Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Archives / Drafting prospects.
« on: January 17, 2014, 10:44:15 PM »
I'm wondering how we could be drafting prospects at this point, while the amateur draft is still ongoing?

Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Archives / Players not listed in Fantrax.
« on: November 05, 2013, 08:08:26 PM »
I posted this question once before but don't see it on the board any longer, so I'm asking again about the guys who aren't listed in Fantrax.

I'm not too worried about the kids in the lower-levels but I do have one player who was on my 40-man roster last year that I want there again and he isn't listed anywhere.


SP Alexander Torres with the Rays. How can I get him back on my roster this year?

53
Is there any way for us to know in advance of the draft exactly which picks we own. I joined the league late last year after the draft and most of free agency and had no participation in international free agents last year.

I believe this is the league's 3rd year, so there were obviously a lot of trades which happened before anyone who joined later would not know about.

Would this be listed on the spread-sheet if draft-picks were traded for certain years?

54
In a 30 team league, how does it happen that such a small number of people control all the trades? Shouldn't it take a majority? % is not a majority in a 30 team league.

I manage leagues myself and in my opinion in 25 years of fanatasy sports, allowing a small few to veto deals is not a good thing.

And it's always the same people who are doing the vetoing. That's just not fair in any way shape or form and ruins the enjoyment of such a deep and complicated league and I feel is the real reason so many owners are quitting and have to be replaced each year. Over 20 of them since I joined in March.

This 5 team trade would never, ever be allowed in MLB and shouldn't be allowed here either. And these are the same owners who always block anyone else from trading...unless of course it's with one of them.

My trade was unfairly vetoed. A simple little deal that would not change the league power structure at all and yet 5 teams just swapped their entire rosters, all their draft picks, tons of cash both from the salary cap and the international monies, but my little deal and several others who are not members of this "inner circle" get vetoed for so many petty reasons all hidden behind the statement "equal value".

We cannot have these same 5 people controlling the trades. It's simply unfair and is the definition of collusion.

56

SP Bronson Arroyo
SP Bruce Chen
SP Jair Jurrjens
SP Edinson Volquez

RP Bill Bray
RP Jared Burton
RP Carlos Marmol
RP Dale Thayer

SS Cesar Izturis
SS Ray Olmedo
IF Alfredo Amazaga (AAA)

57
Red Sox trade:

SP Jose Fernandez - '14 Sal / 1 yr Serv Time @ $440k I believe.
SP Felix Doubront - '14 Sal / $518.5k, '15 - '16 ARB, '17 FA
SS Andrelton Simmons - '14 Sal / $480k? '15 - '17 ARB, '18 FA
RP Brian Duensing - '14 Sal / $1.3m, '15 ARB, '16 FA

Reds trade:

RP Aroldis Chapman -  '14 Sal / $3m, '15 - '16 ARB, '17 FA
1B Yonder Alonso -   '14 Sal / $1.12m, '15 - '16 ARB, '17  FA
OF Quintin Berry -  '14 Sal / $440k, ARB 15 - '17, '18 FA
2B Rickie Weeks -  '14 Sal / $11m, '15 FA
OF Ryan LaMarre -  (Reds #9 Spec)
1B Neftali Soto -  (Reds #13 Spec)



The Reds agree to this trade to upgrade my starting pitching and give me some much needed depth. I also gain salary cap relief from Rickie Weeks. I've got a lot of open spots in my bullpen and can now concentrate on filling them with my rotation all set.

58
The Reds wish to offer Hunter Pence a 3 yr extension, but I just don't know where to find or how to use the rankings.

Do we base his future salary on last year's salary? And then match it up with the percentile's on the extension worksheet?

All I know is he made 10.4m last year.

SS Jose Reyes - Looking for infield depth. He's on a 1 yr contract at $21m.

I'd take a 2nd or 3rd tier SS and draft-picks/prospects at high levels or pay a portion of his salary or some combination there of.

60
This might be a dumb question, but are the international players going to be a part of the 30 round amateur draft or is that held separately?

I couldn't find any information of when the international free agents will be drafted. Sorry if it's posted and I just didn't find it.

  • Jwalkerjr88: I get like that too Eric. My goal every offseason is to do at least 1 trade with every gm. Why not? Its fun
    Yesterday at 04:55:00 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Some guys just dont trade for whatever reason. But the guys who dont arent championship contenders.
    Yesterday at 04:55:47 PM
  • Daddy: They trade, about as often as real teams do. For people that love year round trading, being in one league, one sport, its going to be difficult.
    Yesterday at 05:38:13 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Not everyone trades. But agreed, for one sport folk like myself. It requires patience
    Yesterday at 06:10:32 PM
  • Alpha5: NFL LIVE is the most difficult league for me and it's not even close
    Yesterday at 07:22:33 PM
  • Daddy: Cant just trade because its fun. There needs to be a purpose behind trading. Get guys you believe in or need to keep improving.
    Yesterday at 08:44:03 PM
  • Daddy: NFL LIVE has the toughest GMs & football is the toughest fantasy sport for DYNASTY. Redraft will always be King of football.
    Yesterday at 08:45:00 PM
  • Daddy: Baseball, hockey, basketball guys struggle with NFL LIVE because its just so damn fast (football careers, roster turnover etc.)
    Yesterday at 08:46:19 PM
  • Alpha5: Limited assets
    Yesterday at 11:05:53 PM
  • Daddy: We all have the same assets
    Today at 12:14:51 AM
  • Alpha5: If a team has 2 QB1s another team has none. If a team in baseball has 2 1B it doesn't leave a team without one.
    Today at 09:09:33 AM
  • Alpha5: That's what I mean by limited assets
    Today at 09:09:53 AM
  • Brent: And that's why I haven't traded Carr yet.  Someone doesn't have a QB or thinks they'll get one in FA/draft and might be left wanting.
    Today at 09:12:28 AM
  • Daddy: @Alpha if a team in MLB LIVE has two starting 1Bs then there is also a team without one.
    Today at 10:30:34 AM
  • ldsjayhawk: @jwalker I make like 2-3 trades a year for each of my baseball teams, maybe.  I'll tell you part of the reason I don't trade.  Every trade discussion starts out with the other team wanting my top prospect regardless of what I am trading for.  I am not trading Jackson Holliday for your backup catcher who is going to play 20 games this year.
    Today at 10:56:16 AM
  • Alpha5: Nah cause position eligibility. 1B/OF, 1B,3B etc
    Today at 11:02:48 AM
  • Daddy: CB/S >> DE/LB >> Taysom Hill QB/TE
    Today at 12:06:43 PM
  • Daddy: Football is just harder. You can build a team and 3 years later its irrelevant due to injury, retirement, roster turnover.
    Today at 12:07:41 PM
  • Alpha5: @ldsjayhawk I get the frustration but you're gonna have to get over that man haha
    Today at 12:29:52 PM
  • Alpha5: And maybe you should trade Jackson Holiday lolol
    Today at 12:32:00 PM
  • Brent: In an offsite league, I inquired about Mason Miller and the guy asked for Jackson Holliday.

  • dbreer23: Is it like a 4 team redraft league? :rofl:
    Today at 12:40:30 PM
  • 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.
