2013 HBT Fantasy Baseball

[JohnnyO]

Local sixer sounds good Johnny! On a side note, Fawk Carlos crybaby Quentin! He its on the damn plate and ******* when he gets hit? Take your base or back off the dish. Now Grienke has a broken clavicle. A J Ellis should have dropped quentins dick in the dirt before he ever made it to the mound.

Vent over.

That sounds great, O. Local sixer it is. Senders choice, or figure out after next week?

Sorry about greinke. I was not surprised though. He strikes me as someone who needs a slap every so often.

Pisses me off too! Now I am without one of my keepers for 1-3 months.

Johnny,

What's up with Lin Lindsey? I am pretty sure that s/he did not set keepers, was autodrafted, and clearly has not touched their team yet this season. Can we give that team up before the season is gone?

Dave

Thanks Dave. I'll check in with him.

Im no fantasy expert nor am i a baseball expert, i just love both. But, can someone explain the thought behind trading a productive player for a player that is on the DL? Just curious.

 

[Darwin18]

Othan, I have your sixer. Can you send me a PM with your mailing address?

You are operating on the belief that when that player returns, he will provide more value than the person that you are trading plus the time missed.

This was my assumption. It's a gamble but that's what it's all about. I see that we have 2 roster spots designated as DL. Does that mean you can add a player that is on the DL or is it reserved for an existing player only?

Big Risk/Reward for me trading Panda(3B) for HanRam(3B,SS) trust me I know. My reasoning is similar to what BoSox Dave is thinking with this addition-I hate the Giants and have a hard time rooting for Sandoval(even though I like him as a ballplayer)also to acquire a player like Hanley I had to give up someone with equal production value. I don't insult people with bull sheet trade propositions, not my style...

I have Machado(3B)Carpenter(OF,3B,1B and soon 2B) and Cruz(3B,SS) who are all part of very productive lineups and my team is way better with A HEALTHY HanRam than without-hopefully he comes back swinging hard.

 

[Guidry]

I believe you can add a player who is on the DL but you have to have an open active roster spot to add initially and THEN move him to the DL. You can't add straight to DL.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Makes sense to me. I just thought i would ask. I'm digging playing in this league so far, so thanks again Johnny. Doesnt hurt that im having an fantastic week either! Ha

 

[jump_xiii]

On a completely unrelated note- and sorry if this is considered off topic- but I brewed a SMASH beer today. All pale malt and challenger. What about you guys?

Good to have you aboard!

How. Dare. You?
lol

Brewed last weekend. 10 gallons of pale ale using simcoe and Amarillo.

Ramirez when health (and if his head on straight) is a potential impact player, particularly at 3B/SS, which is why I had him as a keeper despite being on the DL for the next couple months. My stand in at 3B, Alvarez, has been atrocious this season - 3 for 35 with 15 Ks and a grand total of -1 points this season. My other keepers, Hamilton and B.J. Upton, haven't exactly been lighting it up so I didn't think I could afford the luxury of a black hole at 3B for a player who may or may not come back strong, and is a bit of head case.

Othan is making a gamble here but had the luxury of depth at 3B (so it's not a huge gamble). Win-Win for both us, I think.

 

[JohnnyO]

MERCY!!! Harrison, Reyes, and now Cueto are down.

ugh.

 

[JohnnyO]

Awarded the trophies for the first two week's matchups.

Week one high krausen award went to Carson (surprise surprise - this guy is like the damn yankees). Low Attenuation award went to Guidry. Sorry fella.

Week two high krausen went to PEIYanks. Robbie Cano carried him to the top with over 60 points. Low Attenuation went to the incumbant. guidry, are you even trying? hahaha

I emailed DRS about his having four guys on the DL on his active roster. Waiting to hear back. Hope everything is okay with him.

 

[Guidry]

 

[JohnnyO]

hahahaha
buck up, camper.

 

[MMTG]

ugh.

More bad news....Hanrahan is on the 15 DL now. Sorry Johnny

 

[bosoxdave]

It seems like Johnny and I have all of the bad luck. Aaron Hill just hit the 15 day dl to go along with Greinke, Aramis Ramirez and Freddie Freeman.

Don't feel too bad Dave, After all both you and Johnny are 2-0 and tied for first in your respective divisions after all. The injury bug will affect us ALL at various times throughout the season.

Ouch! I thought it hit me hard the first week, but at least i was able to make some adds and drops. Thats a helluva list of players to lose.

Oh I know. I am not too bummed, better now than September.

 

[JohnnyO]

Yeah, I'm more concerned with our wager than the standings lol.

 

[Guidry]

Anyone interested in Ryan Howard?

 

[JohnnyO]

¡Crickets!

Sad to watch Howard hobble around the field.

 

[MMTG]

Anyone interested in Ryan Howard?

Is he giving guided tours of Philly now?

 

[JohnnyO]

Is he giving guided tours of Philly now?

Slowest. Tour. Ever.

Week two...... Low Attenuation went to the incumbant. guidry, are you even trying? hahaha

I vote we institute a new weekly award......Most points by bench players. Y'all aren't in the same park with me!

 

[bosoxdave]

I just checked it. He ain't kiddin', sitting on 60 bench points since monday.

 

[Guidry]

I have a knack for knowing exactly when a guy will go from a 5 day average of -2 pts to a 20 point day. Also, I am fully convinced that someone has secretly set my notices from ESPN telling me when a player is a scratch for the day to 1.5 seconds before game time.

***ALERT*** Ryan Howard and Adam Dunn are about to go on a hitting rampage

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Al the postponed games is killing me this week! I set a roster, and 3 friggin' guys actually play! Dammit!!!! How do double headers work in this league?

 

[bosoxdave]

If they play a double header, you get credit for all at bats/ pitching performances for the whole day.
