:PIT: Buccos corrections
Also, the Ben Revere contract needs to be corrected to remove the prospect notation.

There is an issue with a minor league player on my team.  I drafted John Stilson in 2011 and never released him.  He was on my team last year but is not showing on the official roster.  My Fantrax page has him on the roster.   He can now be released from my Fantrax roster as I am officially releasing him.

Franchise GM: GM & Team News / Pirates Rebuilding with Focus
« on: January 17, 2016, 01:21:08 AM »
The FGM Pittsburgh Pirates have been languishing over the past few years.  After having winning seasons 2011-13, the team fell from grace in 2014 and before the 2015 season started, Wieters, a key piece of the 2013 run that was the closest that got them to the playoffs, was traded away in the Ramos deal.  Last year was a disaster and talents like Forsythe were let go and trades were not made.  As GM of my beloved franchise, I understand the fans are angry and the rest of the league is wondering what is going on with this team.  We are not void of talent.  The starting rotation is strong when healthy and has assets available to trade if needed.  My renewed focus will be cleaning up this mess and giving it a long-term direction, something I didn't do in 2009-13 when I was wheeling and dealing to give the team short-term success.  Those winning seasons were fun, but the playoffs never happened and now the team is one of the worst in the league.  Like the real-life Pirates, we are going to make efficient free agency moves, focusing on reclaiming projects, and putting extra money in prospects.  It may be until 2018 or 2019 until this team finds a winning season again, but perhaps after 10 years of being in this realistic fantasy league, only then will the franchise have a long-term winning formula!

  • 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?

  • Daddy: If you think its the AA guys send me a pm.
    Today at 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
