  1. I'm not a fan of ESPN's trade interface. You can't explain why you are declining a trade, which is usually a help to me if I was the one that made the offer.
  2. Anybody interested in a top 5 closer? I'm thinking about punting saves outright, so Edwin Diaz is available for a worthwhile bat (my team is Viking Quest).
  3. Yeah the one liners are so stacked that it often gets funnier on the second viewing. Veep continues to be #1 in my book in terms of the sheer artistry of insults/putdowns that were delivered.
  4. Mine definitely sucks with top three hitters out and IL slots stashing pitchers. Keep telling myself it's a feature not a bug, and will be worth it at the end of the season.
  5. Yup, was bound to happen with the way this season has started for me. On the flip side, I think I'll get back a probably rusty Kyle Schwarber to bring down the batting stats.
  6. Gotta love it when your top 3 picks (Bellinger, Yelich, Rendon) are all on the IL in week two.
  7. So I guess JD Martinez got over those cold like symptoms pretty fast...
  8. Even within the Top 5, it seems like there is a clear Top 3 of Cade, Mobley, and Suggs. Which of the three would y'all want if we picked first? I think I lean Cade because he might have the highest ceiling. Suggs /Mobley are basically tied for second.
  9. Probably overpriced, but I chuckled. https://www.fantasytrophies.com/baseball/armchair-ace/
  10. So did we end up deciding to do simple redraft next year, or are we going to have keepers?
  11. Only similar thing I can remember is Mets v Braves NLCS and the walk off grand slam single.
  12. My guys, imagine if you drafted Bellinger like I did and then watched what he and Justin Turner did this afternoon to my home run. TOOTBLAN on steroids.

    In what world is Lindor worth more than Betts, especially in the uncharted post COVID baseball economics era.
  14. Agreed on not wanting a dynasty league. That's why I prefer two keepers per team max and a draft pick being replaced for each guy you keep. Whether the guy was drafted by you or not doesn't matter as much to me.
  15. I actually like having the option to keep a FA or trade addition. Otherwise every trade is for a rental, which seems weird for a keeper league.
  16. If I am reading it correctly, the issue is that teams out of the playoffs trade for injured guys they will keep (because their Tommy John recovery will be complete by next year), and in doing so freely send studs in exchange to the playoff teams. Limiting the number of players each team can keep will usually fix that. And in my proposal two things address the problem: players drafted in rounds 1-3 can't be kept, and players carry their keeper cost all season long.
  17. I'm just the new guy but I would vote in favor of this.
  18. Keepers can get complicated fast. But, if we do kerpers, I like the idea of keepers with "progressive draft round" prices and a max number of consecutive years kept. At the risk of inviting a bunch of TLDRs, here's a proposal to get discussions started. A fantasy basketball league and a fantasy football league I was in have each used it successfully. 1. Each year before the draft, you can keep zero, one, or two players from your previous season's roster. The vast majority of your roster must thus be drafted each year, which keeps things interesting even if you don't have anybody worth keeping. 2. You cannot keep a guy if he was drafted (not kept, see below) the first 3 rounds in the previous season. This makes a bunch of superstars unkeepable each season. And you cannot keep a guy if he has been kept each of the past 3 seasons. 3. If you keep a player, you forfeit the draft pick corresponding to N rounds before the round in which the player was drafted or kept the previous season. N=2 is a good balance imo. So, if N=2 and I drafted Otani in the 5th round in 2021, I can keep him instead of my 3rd round pick in 2022. I could also keep him for my 1st round pick in 2023, and if I did, my 1st round pick in 2024. In 2025 I could not keep him because of rule #2. 4. A player carries his keeper price tag all season long, even if dropped to waivers/free agency. So if I drop Ohtani after drafting him in the 5th, and HG then picks him up, it would cost HG a 3rd rounder to keep Ohtani next season. 5. Any player not drafted or kept carries a Xth round keeper price for the following season. X can be set depending on how valuable a keeper you want a waiver wire gem to be the next 1-3 seasons (and directly controls if there is a potential young guy pickup frenzy at the end of the season). For example, lets say X=12, i.e., undrafted free agents can be kept in round 12 next year. Combining rules #3 and #5, if you keep two undrafted free agents next year, you would keep them in rounds 12 and 11. --- If we do keepers, we should probably agree not to mess around with roster settings or scoring settings from here on out because doing so usually impacts keeper value. If we allow draft pick trades, there would be one more rule involved, but I'll assume I don't want draft pick trades.
  19. I assume that would also take a flamethrower to his pitching ratios for the week.
  20. I 100% agree that if you have OPS you should not have either of the individual components as an additional category. If we want to reward extra base hits then SLG or TB instead of OPS makes sense to me. No idea what is actually supported in the fantasy league stats.
