A ProFSL Renaissance
« on: January 25, 2016, 04:26:51 PM »
It certainly is refreshing to see the flurry of activity going on in FGM.  After our discouraging FYPD, where auto picks seemed to govern the day, it's great to see GMs actively seeking to make their teams competitive through a barrage of trades and Free Agent biddling. 

We've had some new GMs come into the league, but it's great to see some of the "old guard" awaken and engineer a variety of trades.  There seems to be a bit of a revival, a Renaissance of a sorts, and it sure makes things more interesting.  The vitality of the league has been questioned during the past few years, but in the last couple of weeks, there seems to be a wave of enthusiasm unlike any we've seen for awhile. 

As a league moderator, but more so as a long-time league member, it's great to see what is transpiring!  It all points to a more competitive 2016 season--and that would be awesome--although it's going to hard to match the competitive drama of the 2015 World Series between the :PHI: and the :OAK:.

Bravo to all!  Keep up the good work! :toth:

Dan Wood is behind most avalanches.  He's like the Bumble from Rudolph.

I can remember when I took over a middling :CLE: team in 2013 I think it was and traded Choo to either Jeff or Chris than had Paul beat easily after 1 week in the World Series than he came back and defeated me somehow.  :doh:

I'm thrilled to see all the activity!!!  I was running out of trade partners.  I know Rick was getting sick of me asking about all his players!  I hope the activity keeps up and we have a great season!!  :taco: :bacon: :thumbsup:

The flurry of activity has continued through the "Pitcher" part of free agency.  It's encouraging to see so many GMs looking to improve their teams--we're even seeing some activity from some GMs that we haven't heard from in awhile.  There's been multiple trades and some new additions to the league.  It's great to see the "newbies" work free agency in an aggressive fashion and maybe it's motivated some of the other members to get involved.

Whatever the case, the next phase of free agency, Outfielders, should be very entertaining as GMs seek creative ways to deal with shrinking cap dollars.

  • Rhino7: @Daddy, thanks for what you said lol. It was the ultimate challenge to beat JWalkerjr88 last season, I wanted my path to go through him so it makes my title run that much better! I just wanted to get to the SB and figured at that point anything can happen and lucky for me, my boys had enough left to take out BAB. Live is the most challenging league I’m in and most fun, so thanks for what you all do to make it that way.

    Yesterday at 10:46:37 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You did well Rhino. I appreciate the battle. The loss didnt sting more because i was undefeated, i know fully that being undefeated in the reg season doesnt mean anything in the playoffs. When rhino and i played this past season, the better team won.

    Yesterday at 11:07:13 PM
  • Daddy: I hate losing. Especially when its the biggest moments. I hate my teams i root for to lose. I really hate for the teams i built myself to lose.

    Yesterday at 11:10:05 PM
  • Daddy: Im not a perfectionist in my dynasty life. I make all kinds of bad trades and make all kinds of mistakes.
    Yesterday at 11:10:51 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: If i traded all my picks to a division rival in a rebuild and he beat me in the title game with Desmond ridder or lose undefeated. Its all a loss at the end of the day
    Yesterday at 11:11:08 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody is right all the time. Its the beauty of sports.
    Yesterday at 11:11:13 PM

  • Daddy: It helps to know sports but ive signed guys ive never heard of like SP Dallas Kuechel. Nobody knew who he was. I saw he earned a spot. I took a chance. A couple years later the dude wins the Cy Young.
    Yesterday at 11:14:05 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: 3 out of the 4 starting QBs in the title games have been traded this offseason

    Yesterday at 11:14:22 PM
  • Daddy: It helps just to fill up your roster and sign good contracts. If you dont know crap but keep a full roster and manage finances, you will kick ass.
    Yesterday at 11:15:26 PM
  • Daddy: I wasnt a genius signing Kuechel. I was just filling an empty spot. I got rewarded with the best pitcher in baseball for a few seasons.
    Yesterday at 11:16:59 PM
  • Braves155: I love it when one of your Dynasty teams you've been rebuilding starts showing up and being competitive early in the season. Especially in baseball
    Yesterday at 11:19:42 PM
  • Brent: Agreed.  I'm decent at building, but I need to get better st winning.  I did win an offsite 32-team football league, it only took me 1.5 season to rebuild and win.
    Yesterday at 11:25:50 PM
  • Daddy: Thats what you should be doing @Brent. LIVE sharpens those skills so you can go elsewhere and dominate unsuspecting leagues.
    Today at 12:01:29 AM
  • Daddy: I use the same screen name on every site. So the sites I'm visiting/competing, know who is putting foots to them.
    Today at 12:02:47 AM
  • Daddy: And they know where they can find me. Along with the growing list of LIVE GMs who would put more foots to them.
