Anybody in an area that is being heavily affected by the virus? I'm in Northern Minnesota and no one has tested positive locally. Going grocery shopping on the other hand has been ridiculous.

I'm in Canada on Vancouver Island. I did a LOT of prepping in February and we are very lucky so far. There are reports that is circulating up and down the Island but it's early days yet. I just wrapped up a construction project and my wife is working from home now so we've gone into lockdown. We're in a good spot out in the country.

Chicago has all bars/restaurants closed for the month. Grocery stores cleared out but they're being restocked pretty fast.

Think we're headed for an enforced lockdown in many areas. North America's situation is probably comparable to Europe's. Hope everyone is prepared to dig in at home for a couple of months.

Probably taking my business 100% remote after today.  Scary times.  I hope you're all well, healthy and safe.

Very cool that you can do that. Think it's too late for me to learn to code so prolly have to wait for vaccine day.  :rofl:

Slack, no wonder we clash so often, I'm on the Mainland, haha.

You crazy island people, you!

On a serious note, hope everyone is staying healthy and is able to make ends meet financially in the coming weeks!

  • 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?
    Today at 02:39:26 PM
  • 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.
    Today at 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.
    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.
    Today at 02:50:33 PM
  • STLBlues91: Ill be around the rest of the day for any talks
    Today at 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.
    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
  • 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.
    Today at 05:23:07 PM
  • Daddy: Neither should we (so much). Every league i see is MLB.
    Today at 05:24:17 PM
  • Daddy: Stcesorp meht kcuf

    Today at 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
    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.
