FGM12 Playoff Discussion
« on: August 20, 2012, 03:46:11 PM »
:HOU: Houston beat :PHI: Philadelphia in the NLWC
:BOS: Boston upset :TEX: Texas in the ALWC

:OAK: Oakland vs. :BOS: Boston
:NYY: New York vs. :CLE: Cleveland

:LAD: Los Angeles vs. :HOU: Houston
:STL: St. Louis vs. :WAS: Washington

The stories... Rangers and Phillies falling late season.  While they easily make wildcard, they lose to opponents to fail to advance.  A's, Yankees, and Dodgers highlight dominant teams of FGM history.  Cleveland finally gets to show what it is made of in the AL.  Boston is back in the playoffs.  Houston and St. Louis, both FGM NL Central strongholds are back in the playoffs are making it once in the past three years.  Washington makes the playoffs for the first time ever (for this iteration of the Nationals).

I really think I have a bit more 'star power' than Paul's Cardinals do, but his team is the mark of consistency.  Should be a great matchup, and it doesn't hurt I have three hurlers going tonight. :koolaid:

It should be a great series Jake.  Maybe the Cardinals  got their bad week out of the way before the playoffs this year.

The Rangers are obviously disappointed for being eliminated from contention this year, but hopefully our salary cap will increase substantially in 2014 after a 120-40 season.

My predictions for the first round:

Oakland over Boston
Cleveland over New York Yankees
Los Angeles Dodgers over Houston
St. Louis over Washington

Betting against myself, that way I can be surprised if I advance. :o

Good luck guys!

That reminds me that I have to do the W-L adjustments for you to make them more realistic.  I am pretty sure that will translate to a 100 win season. :thumbsup:

Is an adjustment needed considering most teams' W-L reflects a 160-game schedule?

Well 1-1 will be added but the WPCT will be brought closer to the 400-600 corridor.

  • Daddy: If i have 10 top level AA prospects each in the top 10 of the franchise vs one middle of the road pitcher like Cal Quantrill (or pick a guy) which one of those two packages are more valuable?
    May 05, 2024, 02:39:26 PM
  • Daddy: If you think its the AA guys send me a pm.
    May 05, 2024, 02:40:07 PM
  • Daddy: Also... Ive got a nice private island full of beautiful women to sell you. Pay me upfront and i will send you its coordinates. We call it the Virgin Daddy Islands. $5k reserves it for your future.
    May 05, 2024, 02:41:59 PM
  • 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.
    May 05, 2024, 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    May 05, 2024, 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
    May 05, 2024, 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.
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    May 05, 2024, 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
    May 05, 2024, 03:25:59 PM
  • 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.
    May 05, 2024, 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    May 05, 2024, 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.
    May 05, 2024, 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.
    May 05, 2024, 05:21:23 PM
  • Daddy: Until someone starts a minor league baseball fantasy game or option. Maybe we can petition fantrax? I just dont think they will care for that.
    May 05, 2024, 05:23:07 PM
  • Daddy: Neither should we (so much). Every league i see is MLB.
    May 05, 2024, 05:24:17 PM
  • Daddy: Stcesorp meht kcuf
    May 05, 2024, 05:26:02 PM
  • Daddy: Stcepsorp*
    May 05, 2024, 05:26:33 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
    May 05, 2024, 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
    May 05, 2024, 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.
    May 05, 2024, 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.
    May 05, 2024, 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 ;)
    May 05, 2024, 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
    May 05, 2024, 06:45:54 PM
  • dbreer23: @BigDon you around? Get a hold of me over at FT if you are.

  • Daddy: See for yourself [link]
    Yesterday at 07:06:43 PM
  • Daddy: Now either there are a lot of people copying our style or trying to learn it.. or possibly there is just that much interest by visitors. Maybe both. Either way, we got to be doing something right. The NHL LIVE season, will start with an amateur draft.
