Yankees are available
« on: May 18, 2018, 10:20:40 PM »
The Yankees need a replacement GM.  If you are interested, post your particulars in the Official Waiting List thread.

You can view the roster by clicking on the :NYY: icon at the top of the page.  As much as it pains me to say, this storied franchise is in need of a GM who can have the patience needed for a rebuild.

Im throwing my name in here for the position.

I am going to post a follow-up here. For the most part of 5 (?) years I managed the Padres. They were my pet project, cleaning up the mismanagement, while I admitedly learned how to play a keeper fantasy league. I was bamboozled on a deal for my one stud, Adrian Gonzalez, and traded for Hector Rondon, Mat Gamel (before the knee surgeries derailed the whole career), and Martin Perez (when he was still about 17 and a phenom). It was my worst trade, IMO.

I had to move bad deals and wait to draft good prospects. Jake Peavy, with his 14m per and many years remaining, and Heath Bell at 10m(+?) were burdens for the Padres tight cap, and produced little value in return in order to clear the cap.

Fortunately, I did learn to draft. Many of my prospects have turned out. I think I made many value selections and I think it worked out to rebound the franchise.

I believe I even made good trades along the way. I picked Maikel Franco up as a free agent prospect, and turned him into Anthony Rizzo. Papps would approach me many times trying to get Rizzo back.

Finally, I understand I lost the Padres due to an absence where I did not communicate. To be fair, this is the truth. However, please let me tell a few details to enlighten. Colby and I had been working to re-energize the site during the summer of 2016. When issues arrose between him and I it caused my interest in fantasy sports to fall off. The desire to log in and monitor my team wasnt there. The emails had been sending to an account I had established specificially to do business for ProFSL, instead of my personal email account as previously. I wasnt getting the “hey whats up” from the commissioners. It was out of sight out of mind. Do caring managers do this? No. But thesed details may explain the reason for my carelessness. Colby may be able to attest to this in PM for the admins if it is a serious concern.

I am re-energized. I have fun with fantasy sports and would like the challenge of rebuilding any brand. The Yankees are in a good shape for a quick rebuild, IMO. I think they can be at +.500 next year. And winning in the playoffs the year after. It would give me pleasure and pride to be that manager.

All I can say Chris is that your application will be considered. You left the league under not so great circumstances but you are a past owner.
Let the process play out.

 :thumbsup: I love your new found attitude Chris and relate to an attached understanding how the leagues work at this site.  Myself, I am glad I stuck around to research and able to join more leagues here in all sports.

Hi Ernie,

I’m still in this, for sure. Just haven't made any moves yet since I have not felt it's the right time to, but I have been looking into a possible trade or two. It will definitely take some time to get the team back on track from where it is, but I am confident that will happen in good time.

Thank you

Good to hear from you, although it was a little perplexing to see PMs and e-mails go unanswered.  Activity and communication is the lifeblood of any fantasy league, so with that said, we're all glad to see that you're still with us.  For us, we felt it better to error on the side of patience, and in this case, our decision to do so was most fruitful.

All is well in the Bronx! :taco:

I appreciate the support with staying and everything that comes with it and look forward to continue to build up the Yankees to what the Bronx Bombers fans are used too.
