Der Kommissar Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Raza, even if Will went about to change it I actually don't mind the trade as much as other people, believe it or not. I am kicking myself more over my itchy trigger finger than about the trade itself. I wouldn't even change it, since I am now somewhat curious as to how good of a team I can build minus Morneau. As I said to you though Will, I do think Towers will still be a worthy pick up for you from me. However, I got him off of FA to replace Santos for this coming week. Well, yeah. If I thought he was absolute crap, I probably wouldn't have traded Justin Morneau for him. My hope is that upgrade of getting him over Jason Jennings is greater than the downgrade of losing Morneau and replacing him with Nick Green or whomever I end up using in my utility spot. If I am still in first place come August, I'll say it paid off nicely.
Cuban Linx Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Amazing, i actually won a matchup and climb out of last place. My offense does what it was designed to, and now that i have a very good pitcher in AJ Burnett maybe i can actually start to win a few pitching stats other than Saves as well.
razazteca Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 I bet Holliday will hit 5 HRs this week now that he is at home and on my bench.....
Lightning Flik Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 lol! I went dead even in my series at 5. Well, that's at least better than losing it. AWESOME! I even moved up a place in ranking! Wooo! Now then, let's see how good my lineup really is now!
Lightning Flik Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 Oh geezus... I just can't help myself. Trade offers made. Yes, I just honestly can't help myself.
razazteca Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 I'm offering: Monroe Holliday Westbrock Lamb and others
Lightning Flik Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 You expect me to trade away Morneau and Edmonds? Your one crazy little man.
Cuban Linx Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Once again a player goes on the DL for me just after the weekly rosters lock. First Benson, then Molina, now it looks like Troy Percival is out for over a month and leaves me a position down, though at least it's only relief pitching, not a starter with the minimum innings pitched limit.
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 I'll include #1 draft pick. Um... Let me think about that one. I had Edmonds as a keeper, so it costed me nothing. I got Morneau for giving up nothing. Let's see... If I was a smart man, that would then suggest that giving these guys up would be stupid beyond belief. Hm... This is assuming I was smart, and considering I gave up nothing to get both of these guys, that would then suggest I'm smart. ...I think you see where this is going. Once again a player goes on the DL for me just after the weekly rosters lock. First Benson, then Molina, now it looks like Troy Percival is out for over a month and leaves me a position down, though at least it's only relief pitching, not a starter with the minimum innings pitched limit. You know, if we could make it so that pitchers were locked and batters were day-to-day, that would honestly be more awesome. Sadly, we can't. And you ain't the only one dealing with this type of problem. I've now had my second guy go down and I can't do a thing about it.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Gagne's gonna be back next week! *happy dance*
razazteca Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Looks like Team Back & Groin finally got its swing back and I found a Closer.....I'm going with a 3 man starting rotation
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 Raza, pray hard that you make the cut off for IP. Pray man, PRAY.
razazteca Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Well Arroyo got his appeal for the fight, right + Kenny Rogers is unhittable and will have perfect games since Cordero blows so many Saves + Pavano is good enough for 6 innings a week + another 6 innings from the RP = 24+ innings. 6 * 3 + 6 = 24
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 Update: Arroyo will drop the appeal of his six-game suspension after a May 16 start in Oakland, the Boston Globe reports. Um... Raza... You lose Arroyo. Sorry.
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 Yes... I honestly can't help myself: On The Block Barry Bonds ~ Trade must include giving me a 2nd rounder for a 7th Tino Martinez and Jorge Julio (package deal) ~ Wanting: Good 2B Juan Rincon ~ Wanting: Offers, willing to package Scott Podsednik ~ Wanting: Offers, willing to package Rondell White ~ Wanting: Offers, willing to package
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 Two things: One, if the guy I have has better stats the guy you are trying to pawn off of me, I ain't going to be interested unless I know I'm able to screw you over. Two, I've stated that I would be an idiot to trade away Morneau or Edmonds. Hence, don't package them with one of the suggested above players unless you are going to give me a hell of a deal that works out for both clubs. Oh and Komijul, looks like your aquistion of Towers paid off for you. >_< Dammit.
razazteca Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Come on Morneau, Edmonds, Podsednik for Holliday, Lamb, Monroe + #1 pick...
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 Raza... You are simply nuts. I can't believe you actually offered that to me for real.
Brett Favre Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 You make it sound like I tried to rip you off by offering you Mark Loretta. It's not as bad as offering Marquis Grissom for AJ Burnett.
razazteca Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 You could of clicked the wrong button and let it go thru....
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 I'm not one of the people who seem to confuse the reject button with the accept button.
Lightning Flik Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 Hey Harley! You've got a trade offer. ...accept it damn you.
treble Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Well, Schmidt going on the DL looks good for me.
Styles Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Well, Schmidt going on the DL looks good for me. Yes it does. Oh well, he'll be back, still don't regret the trade.
Lightning Flik Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Posted May 11, 2005 treble I thought you were an idiot for making that trade. But apparently you knew more than we did, so I salute you on a good trade!
Vern Gagne Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 For what I was expecting has a team. I'm suprised how competive i've been so far. 1-2-1. I don't know how long it will last, but for having such a young team it's nice to at least put up a fight.
Lightning Flik Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Posted May 11, 2005 Juiced Up, Brockvegas Posse, It's the R, The Best Team, Hawai'i 5-0... You've got trade offers from me. Get back to me on them.
Styles Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 So, now 2 guys I've traded for are on the DL, in Scmidt and Matos. Great. I will persever somehow...
