Spurs Talk Fantasy Baseball 09

[Thunder Dan]

I'm .5 game out of the organic league, so that's pretty good. If Cantu doesn't have his career season all in one week I'm up. So I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Cantu doesn't hit 4 homers and 11 RBI's a week from here on out. You take his line out and I'd win this week, and seeing as he is a bum, you can't feel too good about that.

[ATRAIN]

I took a flyer on Teahen bc I watched spring training, the computer took a flyer on Jorge Cantu who for whatever reason is Lou Gerihg/Babe Ruth this week. That's the difference, you made minor moves that really don't matter and you hid behind the foundation the computer drafted for you. There is no coincidence that you and Atrain are leading- the computer drafts very well and give you very deep teams and sets you up to win, it takes out any bit of skill out of it.

I'll talk to anyone but you and ATrain because you 2 are computers, I'd just talk to a microwave and get further

HA

I came in late to the draft so not much would have changed had I been there since I created my pre-ranks. I have made moves to what I want my team to produce, (pulling off a few trades in the process). Ultimatly we can have a DEEP Bench but its choosing who to start and and not is all about coaching. Go ahead and keep crying about "computer" drafted teams, its just making you look like bad. Maybe you should autodraft your teams from now on. You seem to be the only one bothered by it. You call it a computer draft but the computer drafted my first few rounds based on guys I wanted it to draft. You are aware that you can do that right? Whats the difference from pre-ranking to cuing up your picks in your draft cue?

[Thunder Dan]

the difference is knowing the players to draft besides the rankings. Human drafters don't take into account what teams they play for and things like that, the computer won't draft guys on the same team so one night you only have 5 guys playing. They pick so you hardly ever have more than 1 guy on a team. That's the difference, it's not about rankings. Like last night, I think I had 4 guys that had games, and Alamo had a full roster- that's the difference. Humans don't have the time to think about the schedule and all of that, it's built into the computer to draft that way.

Besides all of that, I'm still in good position to get a 5-4 win this week. I'll be like Dwight Schrute and beat the computer

Thats retarted....plus pay attention......IF I PRERANK 2 guys on the same team it will pick them if they are avail. Knowing that there are times you wont have a full roster I pre ranked based on this. there has been plenty of times I havent had a full roster. It happens. I guess you couldnt have pre-ranked and auto drafted since you decided to draft based on trying to exploit the "pitching" rules or lack of rules.

I will prevail. I didn't need to prerank anything since I was at the draft. I am a champion and champions always prevail. I will say though that a) I can't run faster than a car, b)I can't do math better than a calculator, and c) I can't out draft a computer in fantasy baseball

LMAO so WHEN I win am I getting an * by my championship?

I would vote yes on that.

You and Alamo are like Charlie Weiss, you win with Ty Williamhams recruits. I am like Pete Carrol, I build from the ground up so when I win I can feel good about it and not get fired when I actually recruit my own players and suck. It's exactly like that.

Maybe your just a bad GM. I drafted my team as a rookie GM last year and GUESS what I made the playoffs. The draft isnt always what makes your team successful and a good GM. Waiver wire pick ups, trades and knowing who to start does. My draft was decent last year but it was my free agent pick ups that put me into the playoffs that made me successful. Yes the draft is the foundation but you still have work to do from there. So can I laugh at you when you DON'T make playoffs?

you're crazy if you think I'm not making the playoffs. My team isn't preforming in the least bit (Rollins hitting .200 with 1 SB!, Manny with like 10 RBI's, Lester with a ERA over 7 and 1 win, Mags hitting like .230 with 1 homer and 2 homers) and despite all that, if the season ended today I would be in the playoffs.

Your not making playoffs, im calling it right now.

you are about to be humbled

[ATRAIN]

oh its on

[ATRAIN]

Oh yeah Dan on got Carlos Q on my team now...........BOOM CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

If anyone is looking for outfielders with any number of different skill sets, I've got them and am willing to make a deal, particularly one for pitching:

Carlos Lee (power)
Jacoby Ellsbury (speed)
Nate McLouth (power + speed)
Bobby Abreu (OBP + SB)
Jermaine Dye (power)
Johnny Damon (OBP)
Nick Swisher
Conor Jackson

While none of these guys is untouchable, they will come with differing prices (their order above is not necessarily representative of my valuation of the players)

[EricB]

IF anyone is looking to trade a closer, I'd be more than happy to make a deal

[Melmart1]

Sorry Commish, it's nothing personal.

Now time to send Atrain off the rails.

Good luck trying Mel!!!!!

[ATRAIN]

Damn I trade Crawford and the guy goes nuts and steals 6 bases in one game!!!! Good thing I won that cat. or else I would be pissed.

[TheTruth]

Got dang Stephen Drew. How long does a sore Vagina really need to heal?

[Melmart1]

Good luck trying Mel!!!!!

Your SP tonight is 4-8 all-time against the Rangers. Just sayin.'

[ATRAIN]

Dont be scared.

You can ask melmart next week. She is going to know after I give it to her hard this week.

[TheTruth]

I didn't pay much attention to this league last year, so I'm not really sure if Whott was any better then. Because damn, his team is bad right now.

[ATRAIN]

Or I guess you can ask Thunderdan. Alamo gave it to him pretty hard this past week.

[TheTruth]

Nah, I can't talk much to Thunderdan. He caught me the week I went on my bachelor party and left Stephen Drew, Brandon Morrow, and a few other injured players in my lineup all week. He beat me like I'm going to beat Alamo this week.
