2013 HBT Fantasy Baseball

[WildGingerBrewing]

It's all up to the players. I've done a few the last few years. Not every week though. I can't afford that much shipping all the time. Add to that, I will be sleeping on the couch if I gamble away a lot.



You're so full of sh!t. There is no good beer in Texas, just cold beer. hahaha

There's good beer at Wild Ginger Brewing! bwahahaha Yeah shipping can get expensive so I try to only a few swaps a year, but since I will win the bet, it won't matter to me

That's the spirit, loser. hahaha

Question for you guys, Suppose I propose a trade, 1 of mine for 2 of yours. I have to drop a player in order to take two. The trade proposal will not go through until I have dropped a player to make room. What happens if the trade is rejected? Am I now one roster spot short or does the "no agreement" on the trade, over ride the dropping of a player?

Pretty sure that you have to designate a player to drop, but it won't matter unless the trade goes through.

I bet everyone who I play a sixer or a few bombers as it makes it more interesting...some people aren't interested in it as the shipping is expensive for them. I'm more than happy to wager a sixer in our matchup.

I am always up for a friendly wager. With anyone, too. Living in Colorado, there are a lot of great beers here as well.

So I just figured something out. When I post from my laptop I am signed in as Bosoxdave which I think I lost my password to years ago. Which is why I re-signed up as Bosdave and on my desktop I am auto logged in as that. Hence why it is both.

Othan already picked up a sixer from me. It is riding across the country in a brown truck. Sadly my kegerator was empty at the time so they're all local brews.

If thats the case i will try again later. I sent you 2 PM's in the meantime. Not sure how do a trade request from the app but i will look.

Thanks again. No offense, but I prefer local brews to some of your homebrew

I also won a sixer off of Alfred and Lost one to Johnny sitting here looking at some great Speakeasy brews I'm sending his way

Thought I would figure this out for you and anyone else that wants to utilize it during the season.

On your app, go to the gray bar near the top, slide it over to the right until you see Teams. Select that option and then select the team that you want to propose a trade to, select that as well. At the top of their roster - near where the gray bar was - select propose trade and go from there.

Dave

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Nice. Easy too.

 

[MMTG]

Wow, Price for Dempster?! Have you been drinking today? This is a keeper league after all I'd have asked for a better pitcher Like Moore if I was giving up Price. its a "fair" trade points wise at this point, but will significantly weaken EYD and strengthen BSD rotation.


But hey what do I know? I'd make the same deal if I was Dave!

 

[Darwin18]

Did you start the weekend early Darvish? It's technically fair but Price is an ace type pitcher while Dempster is good, but not great.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Yes, yes, yes, I know. But right now I need some points. Badly. And Price is not providing. I will probably regret it later but for now, it also got me a hitter. My OF sucks balls.

And now for something completely awesome...

"Oh Son!(Tommy Johnson) You traded your everlasting soul for that?!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Love that movie and maybe so. I have always found that once you fall behind, it's real dang hard to catch back up. I'd rather get what I can now.

 

[bosoxdave]

Trade is a lot more balanced than people are giving EYD credit for. No doubt that Dempster is a step down from Price traditionally, but he currently has better numbers and I had to give up a quality OF to make it happen. I am assuming/hoping that he can return to old form.

For what it's worth, I did a quick analysis after week 3. Pitching had only counted for 38% of my total scoring output. Pitchers are not worth what they have been in this league in past years with the new scoring metrics that we are using.

Yiu dont have to try and justify the trade to me i got what i needed and so did you. Fair trade as far as im concerned.

I'm about to take my first loss. Congrats to Black Sabathias.

 

[Darwin18]

W00t!

 

[MMTG]

Damn, I scored over 500 points for the first time this year and will still lose! Only had 6 starting pitchers this week and it hurt me...oh well, that's fantasy baseball. Congrats PEI

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Well ****. I trade Price and he has his best day of the dang year??? At least i got the points!

 

[bosoxdave]

Likewise with Carson. Nice win.

Sam ting.

And to make things worse...Tulo goes out with a shoulder injury yesterday.

 

[JohnnyO]

And to make things worse...Tulo goes out with a shoulder injury yesterday.

Damn. That sucks. I'm really glad I traded him two years ago now.

I emailed Desert Rat Squad through HBT just now. I'll give him a couple days to respond, and then we'll find a new owner if he hasn't gotten back.

I know I've given him more slack than other teams. I only did so because he has been with the league since we started. I had to go back to the beginning of last season to find his post in these threads.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

So no one has heard from him at all?

 

[Guidry]

Last week, I picked up a FA SP who happened to be scheduled to pitch that day. Didn't realize that I was 3 minutes late after rosters locked for the day. He goes on to score over 30 pts that night. Nice! :|

Next day, crisis at work and I neglect to reset a couple of pitchers who I had moved to the bench. They both started that day and both scored 25+ pts.

Missed out on 80+ pts on two consecutive days....Lost the matchup by less than 50. Kinda par for my season so far.

Oh well, good thing I like beer.

 

[MMTG]

BoSox Dave...that wasn't meant to be taken as a bull sheet trade proposal. It was as almost identical trade based on points. You just made an argument for the recent trade you made with EYD.
Sorry if I offended you. That's what counter offers are for.
