WEll thats how he drafted his team, good strategy IMO. Your talking about Rotto league ( I think thats what its called) Where you set your lineup once and then thats it. The thing is dan you were really the only one that really abused this. Yes Im sure some of us did tha too but for the most part my pitching didnt change unless the pitcher got demoted or hurt.
that's not true. At one point in the season Eric, Whott and Alamo used this strategy when they were getting killed with ERA and/or Whip and needed wins and K's.
And what makes the way I drafted and the way Tim drafted any different? We were both basically punting 2 categories to help the chances of winning 2 others.
Well you drafted and had that mindset going in and did it really help you in the long run, no you missed playoffs even when my team was holding the door open for you and mel. Timvp drafted a solid team last year and made playoffs but he was up against a superior team in Melmarts last year (which ended up winning it all anyways). He tried this tactic and it failed. Yes it can help give you wins and K's but it also backfires and raises your era and whip. I am not saying anyone didnt use it. I had 1 or 2 pitcher slots that were expendable and would envoke this strategy but when you base your whole pitching mindset on this in the long run doesnt work for you. My draft strategy was to go heavy on starting studs and if you look I won on my pitching most of the time. Of course you live and die buy it too. The only reason why I traded you Haren was because you didnt give me the wins I would have liked and the sight of one of the best closers in the league made me think other wise. I prob won saves from time to time with papel alone.
your draft strategy was not showing up and taking whatever the computer picked for you!
Its called pre rank my good friend. Plus I only missed the first 3 rounds, I showed up late.
I never applied that strategy.
I await my price money and trophy.
And to think, I could have put the guys on my roster that got those stolen bases in those spots...my bad. I just....gave you that money I guess.
That comment leaves me no doubt that the better GM did not win...no offense.
Yes he did, he won 3rd
Hahaha, I beat your sorry ass 3 times this season!
How can I take offense when I walk away with the dough?
Take your defeat as a man and stop whining.
I know. He got 5th place. But now Whott sees what I'm saying about this damn auto drafting. Funny that the 2 people claiming to be the best GM are autodrafters.
Its funny how you keep claiming that im an "autodrafter" when I made the draft. Maybe you should autodraft next year and maybe you will actually make playoffs.
i'll never compromise my integrity. I'll never make let computers make decisions for me.
im sure it would do a better job drafting.
Are you still talking trash?!?!?
Hahahaha, you remain the joker of fantasy baseball.
You should be ashamed of yourself to not draft any better than the pre-rankings from Yahoo. I knew absolutely NOTHING about the current MLB and I got the trophy to show for it that therefore I am the best GM in this league this year.
You know what?
Next year is gonna be exactly the same!

Congrats to alamo and to the others who made the playoffs and fell victim to his team.
I will work on getting the payments out today or tomorrow at the latest.
What were the payouts just curious?
You made a stupid comment about stolen bases...hey Einstein, no one on my roster got any stolen bases on Sunday, therefore my decision to leave two roster spots open in no way determined the outcome which means your stupid comment thanking me for the dough was just that...a stupid comment.
Self aggrandizing ass.
You don't even have a clue you were the guy who waived Mark Reynolds do you?
Tell me slick, what was behind the strategy to waive a guy who would go on to put up 40hr and 20sb this year and be eligible for 2 positions....which pretty much made him the most valuable fantasy player in the league this year.
That's not a positive GM move...it's a negative one, a huge one. It's just short of waiving Albert Pujols....you won despite yourself, much like your decision to match my pitching strategy cost you whip.
Nothing you did caused my team, which was the best in OPB and or SB for pretty much most of the season to completely tank this weeek. And it was only as close as it was because you stupidly gave me whip.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the payouts were to go like this:What were the payouts just curious
3rd and 4th each get back their $25 entry fee.
2nd place gets $50
1st place gets $100.
_____________________________
10 owners * $25 entry fee = $250 total funds
2 * $25 = $50 to playoff qualifiers
remaining pot is $150
66% to winner
33% to 2nd
I think third should get more .................. im just sayin
You didn't know up front you wouldn't get a SB from these guys on Sunday.
Leaving 2 roster slots open was just plain stupid on your part.
You benched both Upton and Cabrera!!!
You can come in here and type a lot of words to hide behind, but the fact remains you as stupid as !
Reynolds was drafted in round 25 genius.
I ain't got no crystal ball like yo mama!
I made the GM move of the year trading for the most valuable fantasy player in the league this year.
How dare you put your gay fingers on those keys and pound them to make it appear you are the one talking smack after winning it all?
If I hadn't played along with your filthy game, WHIP wouldn't have been this close smart ass.
I BEAT YOU 3 TIMES THIS YEAR!
DEAL WITH IT!
YOU LOST!
Please come again.

I have no idea, because it ain't mentioned anywhere.
I'll accept this proposal though.
P.S.
Whottt should get fined for being a bad loser though.
I think it got mentioned in the thread from last year, which is where the conversation for this year's league got started. But I'm almost 100% sure it's the payout scheme I used last year. It strikes me as being fair.I have no idea, because it ain't mentioned anywhere.
I'll accept this proposal though.

No, if you want to see what a bad loser looks like you should check some of your threads in the dynasty league from last year. This is what xsomeone putting someone, who is wrong, in their place looks like...
It's not so much your smugness irking the out of me btw, it's the the fact that you're wrong and think you're right. That always irks me no matter who it is or when it is. And you think you are right because you won....and that's even more wrong.
You beat me 3 times this year? Whooo, I think my streak against you in dynasty leagues is like....80 or something.
Like I said...feel free to show me the guys on my roster that got the stolen bases since you are thanking me for passing them up and thus giving you the league. Hint, it wasn't Cabrera or Upton, and it wasn't Stewart, and it damn sure wasn't Dan Uggla either...so just where are these missing SB you wrongly think gave you the league?
Otherwise just stfu and keep your gloating based in reality. And btw, I feel I was plenty cordial in congratulating you, it's you that took it to the ass level. Winning doesn't give the you the right to be wrong....especially when you are being an ass on top of it.
I figure what I was doing will hit you sometime in March of 2015 at the earliest, although you actually had to ask me why I waived Josh Beckett and think my streategy to use my closers is some kind of devious act...so I may be overly optimistic....then again, maybe I should just say if ever, because you think you know everything and that usually closes the door more thoroughly than anything else.
Until then, Mark Reynolds for Marcu Scuatro gming?
On the roster limits during the regular season, I don't care if we do it or not but anything under 5 moves per week is pretty draconian, and Dan was the only one to average over 5 moves per week this season during the regular season and that's including the playoff totals in the regular season totals for everyone else. I hate that streaming pitchers strategy....I did it twice this season once against Bashers and once against Dan...neither time did it work(and it seldom does but always has a chance to do so). I don't know that I've ever seen it work....but it sucks during the playoffs because if someone is doing it and you are counting on winning wins and k's you pretty much have to do it.
No idea what you are talking about.
I was being cussed out for not trying to win the whole thing immediately, but instead I am enjoying the following of high school players and therefore expanding my knowledge of the game and putting together a dream team for the near future......still thinking on what to do this upcoming draft.
Of course the winner is always right!
You realy need to lay of on thinking you are the king of smack or whatever.
You ain't getting the best of me. I am a man of facts and I will smash you around the head with them. Your strategy failed you, I beat you.
We are talking baseball here! You bring up DYNASTY Fantasy League Basketball?
.............................
You realy don't get it.
You screwed up!
Those 2 I mentioned had 20+ stolen bases on the season and you played with 2 empty roster spots!!!
Read it and resist the temptation of being an asshole in writing again!
You didn't give me anything, during the entire season I was in the upper rankings. I started on top and I finsih on top. It ain't a crime to give me the deserved respect. I DO NOT ASK FOR RESPECT, but I certainly didn't ask for your ing.
I deserved to gloat.
I beat 9 US MLB followers, so damn right I am beaming like Kobe Bryant's chick's ring. If you think that is acting like an ass, you're just a bad loser...hey, that ain't a question, you most defenitely are a very bad loser. Even Dan ain't as ed up as you are acting recently.....he didn't congratulate me yet, but he doesn't have to.
You admitted in the matchup comments that you ed up by dropping both Beckett and Buchholz because you failed to see that the last matchup week concisted of 2 weeks. So don't come in here acting like you knew what you are doing. You have no ing clue.
I made that move less than 2 weeks into the season. Did you see in your mama's crystal ball that Reynomds would have a career year? I never even heard of the guy, when I saw him on my roster after the draft. I did research and found out that Scutaro had a great start and picked him up. Turns out he weas the surprise of the year. GM move gone bad? Nah, not in my book.[/QUOTE]Until then, Mark Reynolds for Marcu Scuatro gming?
