:rofl: You answer your mail dude. That's the main thing!

yes I do and I do trades when I can. one problem with trading draft picks is we only have limited roster spots. I have 5 picks plus there the 3 keepers thats 8 spots I need. I would trade multiple picks to move up in the draft but I suspect most teams are going to be the same as mine.

I would be in favour of a deeper minor roster.

Says the guy with pretty much his entire roster eligible for the minors, haha.

Slack, we had to hold Rob down and pluck a few of his teeth out in order to get him to change the minors rosters from 10 to 15.

Good luck convincing him to increase them further!

For what it's worth, there was 11 trades made in the month prior to the deadline.  With 12 different teams involved in those deals. I think I clear out transactions so fast sometimes that it makes it look like nothing's going on.

Hahaha that is really true. Your just a great commissioner and our transactions are processed so fast that its easy to forget about them! In Backyard and FNHL, I see transactions on the board for days and days. Here its Amazon Prime on steroids  :rofl:

Whats the point in increasing trades at the deadline just to increase them? I feel like we are all competent GMs who can weigh the pros and cons of making a trade and make that decision. I do agree that some GMs could be more active and at least respond to messages but those owners may have already decided they intent to stand pat this year with what they have.

  • 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?

    Yesterday 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.
    Yesterday at 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    Yesterday 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
    Yesterday 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.
    Yesterday at 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    Yesterday 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: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    Yesterday at 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.

  • 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
    Yesterday 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
