: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.

Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Archives / Astros demotions to the minors
« 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".

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Alpha5: Guarantee I know who he traded Kamara to for 1-7 without even looking
    Today at 05:22:42 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: alpha it was a good trade at the time
    Today at 05:29:49 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: my team was in the Crapter at that pt
    Today at 05:29:58 PM
  • Brent: Who did you draft with the 1st acquired in that trade?
    Today at 05:36:34 PM
  • Daddy: Whoever it was, he got six more choices on top of that. The "win win" scenario.
    Today at 05:53:04 PM
  • Daddy: At that time i had no RB1. So i traded an entire draft class to get one.
    Today at 05:54:10 PM
  • Daddy: SF doubled up his pick haul and went to work, using them in trades & draft return.
    Today at 05:54:46 PM
  • Daddy: Then beat me in the NFC Title game.
    Today at 05:55:32 PM
  • Daddy: RB is a hard position to nail down. If someone wants to trade me 1-7 for Kamara. Step right up.
