Welcome to the party!

Our league has not changed Miggy's eligibility to 1B yet. Any idea if they will? I sort of drafted my infield around him moving to 1st and possibly playing 3rd. If the league doesn't make it official, I will need to rethink some things.

 

[JohnnyO]

I'll trade you Bartolo colon for miggy. Hahaha

They don't add eligibility at a position until the player plays a certain amount of games there. I forget what that number is, but it is a painful wait when you're in that situation. Sorry.

 

[Darwin18]

I think I recall seeing on the ESPN website that to qualify for a new position, the player who need to appear in 10 games at that position in the season. I'm not 100% on that though.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Thanks for the info. I can live with 10 games, I guess.

 

[Darwin18]

Don't quote me on it! I could be totally wrong about that, although it does kind of make sense.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Doesn't really matter either way, I guess. It's not like I'm going to drop/trade Miggy and I can't do any better than Freeman right now anyway, so I will wait and not worry about it! ha

 

[Guidry]

The eligibility rule is 20 games in previous season, or 10 in current and the status will change on the day after he plays his 10th game at the new position.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Perfect. Thanks.

 

[Darwin18]

Okay - HBT has been acting a bit weird....

I was originally asking why walks don't accrue TB's like hits do. Is a single really valued as being double a walk? It would seem they accomplish the same thing.

 

[nickfern]

I just took a look through the teams. There are a few with DL-eligible players in their starting lineup. If I don't see those change by the end of the week, I'm assuming the person is no longer interested, and giving the teams away.

Have any of the teams been completely inactive this past week?

 

[JohnnyO]

Check your PM/email.
Welcome aboard!

Folks, I had to give the Goose Boners away. I haven't heard a peep from Ray about the team. The last activity was when he set his keepers, which may have been at the end of last season. Couple that with his not interacting at all here on this thread, and I figured it was time to give someone else a chance.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Welcome nickfern! Good luck to you. Let the trash talking begin!

 

[JohnnyO]

Welcome nickfern! Good luck to you. Let the trash talking begin!

Agreed. Nickfern? Do you have a thing for plants or something? lol

 

[nickfern]

Now that I'm in the league, I have a ton of work to get done to rectify the mess that auto-draft has left me.

I'm looking to part ways with some hitters. Any takers?

 

[bosoxdave]

Welcome to the league, Nick. That is a proper mess that you inherited.

I am always up for trading so feel free to send offers my way.

Thanks Dave. Good to know about trades. I have a ton of guys that do all the same things (Ortiz, Lind, Adams, Butler). If any of those guys spark interest, let me know.

 

[bosoxdave]

I guess it would somewhat depend on what you are looking for in return.

I value flexibility highly and after Joe Mauer gets 5 more games at 1B I will have Goldy, Craig and Mauer all eligible at 1B. All of the guys you mentioned are either DH only or 1B.

However I have a level of interest in Papi, as a Sox fan, so let me know what you would want in return there.

Dave

 

[JohnnyO]

Nick, was just looking at your roster, and I think you have an open bench spot that you can fill with a FA.

 

[Darwin18]

Feel free to propose a trade. If I like it I'll accept it, if not I'll decline it. No feelings hurt!

I'm ok with working a deal for Big Papi. I'm a Braves fan and I have an eye for two (former and current) players.

I think I might use that open spot to stream SPs.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Checking now...

I think you canceled the trade offer before I replied (which is fine). Not really looking to move Prado right now. He was a big target for me before the draft and I really love his versatility.

Ok, no problem. Thanks for listening.

 

[bosoxdave]

Not a problem.

It is hard to make trades after just a week, too. I know that I want a larger sample size before making significant changes to my team. I imagine that a lot of the guys are going to feel the same way.

With that said, I am always willing to listen and consider.

 

[Darwin18]

Injuries are already taking a toll. I've got three guys on the DL with a couple more likely to join them. I'm glad I drafted 3 3B's because I'm on my last one! Now Matt Moore may need Tommy John surgery....It's only April Fantasy Baseball gods come on!!

 

[Darwin18]

Out of DL spots now that Hamilton's done for the next 6 - 8 weeks...

I'm full too. Wilson Ramos potentially back in a month. Jose Reyes back who knows when. Harvey out for the year (yeah, I know I'll likely have to drop him).
