First of all, Nick Johnson is a part of my present as well as my future. I traded away an ace to get him two years ago, and he's about as close to untouchable as you can get... almost as much as... Glauber is still on my untouchable list (a real short one with two people on it). I just wish he'd progress a little faster. I need more great starters to get over the hump. That said, the offer to the Royals is pretty hefty. I included five players, and I fully expect each of the five to be significant contributors to his team in the future, some sooner than others... | |||||
| 171 | Bean Dip ID: 16654410 Thu, Aug 03, 11:01 | I wasn't even aware that the Royals had a present. You might want to reconsider your offer blue hen. ;-) | |||||
| 172 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Thu, Aug 03, 11:22 | Offering him your second tier prospects for his starters Blue Hen? You wouldn't try to take advantage of a new owner would you? :) | |||||
| 173 | Bean Dip ID: 16654410 Thu, Aug 03, 11:28 | That's a little unfair, G.O. After all, we don't know who he offered (except that it wasn't Johnson or Glauber). | |||||
| 174 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Thu, Aug 03, 11:49 | You're right Bean Dip....I'm sure Johnson, Greive, and Greene were in there | |||||
| 175 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Thu, Aug 03, 11:51 | sorry, meant Thompson, not Johnson | |||||
| 176 | blue hen ID: 386331314 Thu, Aug 03, 12:03 | I've said time and time again that Thompson is available... You must not be listening. Greene I have a tough time trading only because he's so young as well as talented. But he's far from untouchable. | |||||
| 177 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Thu, Aug 03, 13:02 | I'm all set with trading right now Blue Hen. I was just wondering out loud if they were offered to Kevin. No need to respond, as that is priviledged information, and they were probably involved anyway. | |||||
| 178 | blue hen ID: 386331314 Thu, Aug 03, 15:23 | They may have been... he hasn't responded yet... One trade I am looking to make is with my third basemen, Scott Rolen and Junior Zamora. At this point, both are capable starters in the major leagues, but alas, there is only one third base in baseball. Two third bases would be a bit awkward, I presume... So if you've got a stud outfielder to offer... I might even throw in someone like Baines or Kirgan... | |||||
| 179 | Scott - Royals ID: 36715121 Thu, Aug 03, 16:28 | Blue Hen , your prsopects are probably better than my starters. Wait , that was a rip on myself , DOH. Ok , well anyways I will go check the trade out. | |||||
| 180 | Scott - Royals ID: 36715121 Thu, Aug 03, 16:53 | Ok , Braves I have sent you a email about a trade , and Indians I have sent one to you too. I am open to suggestions about them , but I think I will end up being the Cubs of this league rebuilding every year. | |||||
| 181 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Thu, Aug 03, 17:54 | Not again!!!!! I hate you Great One. Giants go down in 6. | |||||
| 182 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Thu, Aug 03, 20:40 |
Sorry Sliced Bread. Good season...I really thought you had me this year. Bean Dip, like I told you before the season, see ya in the series. | |||||
| 183 | Bean Dip ID: 16654410 Thu, Aug 03, 22:38 | Anyone having trouble getting into the game? | |||||
| 184 | Josie ID: 4441223 Thu, Aug 03, 22:39 | I am. | |||||
| 185 | Bean Dip ID: 16654410 Thu, Aug 03, 23:52 | A little persistence did the trick. You in there now Josie? | |||||
| 186 | blue hen ID: 386331314 Fri, Aug 04, 08:06 |
Is Chris from the White Sox in our league the same as the guy who does the stats analysis (and our next Guru Jr)? Who needs a third baseman? Scott Rolen and Chris Kirgan for your stud outfielder... Maybe more... maybe less... | |||||
| 187 | Chris ID: 25540221 Fri, Aug 04, 08:09 | nope...I only have teams in L2 and C3... | |||||
| 188 | blue hen ID: 534402321 Sun, Aug 06, 00:56 |
OK, as we hit the offseason, I have two things I will entertain offers for... 1. A stud outfielder 2. Stud hitting prospects, below 20 Major leaguers offered: Junior Zamora (or Scott Rolen for the right deal) Mandy Romero Matt Halloran Greg LaRocca Vlad Guerrero Jeff Zimmerman Woody Williams Ricky Bottalico Brett Black All minor leaguers are available (for the right price) except Jeff Harris, Keith Glauber, and Clay Greene. Ben Grieve will also be hard to wrest away, but he's gettable. So get those offers in... | |||||
| 189 | Bean Dip ID: 24456316 Sun, Aug 06, 22:38 |
Wow. Got my series. Fittingly, it went seven, just like last year. Also fittingly, Justin Thompson got the win, and Robb Nen got the save. Minutes later, however, i was shocked to discover that Delino Deshields, Jeff Abbott, and Barry Larkin all retired. I may have a busier off-season than i thought. I'm looking forward to every bit of it though. Bean Dip | |||||
| 190 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Sun, Aug 06, 22:52 | Wow. Stupid Erickson retired. On what was a maybe Cy Young year (few votes left). And someone already is outbidding me on free agents. Didnt get very many last year but need some this year. Gonna be a long few days. | |||||
| 191 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Sun, Aug 06, 23:08 | And I'll bid more in the morning. Already outbid 4 or 5 times. too much | |||||
| 192 | blue hen ID: 534402321 Sun, Aug 06, 23:08 | That's nothing. Your league MVP Valentin retired. And so did Vlad... | |||||
| 193 | Kevin - Cubs ID: 36715121 Sun, Aug 06, 23:09 | Bean , congrads , but who ever is bidding on my Bergman STOP!!!!! I plan on competing the braves , so get ready. | |||||
| 194 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Sun, Aug 06, 23:12 | Ive been competing with them for years and dont plan on stopping soon. Bergman or bust!! | |||||
| 195 | Chris ID: 25540221 Sun, Aug 06, 23:12 |
Just curious...what are players going for in you're league? I set high bids right away and they havn't been topped, but maybe I overpayed... Although "overpayed" may be a relative term as I have LOTS of money to spend... | |||||
| 196 | Bean Dip ID: 24456316 Mon, Aug 07, 10:37 |
I sent you all an email, but i thought I would say it here too: Robb "the best closer in the league" Nen, AKA Robb "hasn't blown a save in 2 years" Nen, AKA Robb "do you get the feeling i like this guy Nen, will not resign with me. Thus, I will be entertaining offers. All you teams trying to jump in front of G.O., this means you. Bean Dip | |||||
| 197 | blue hen ID: 386331314 Mon, Aug 07, 11:10 | I guess that means me, except that I'm quite happy with Jeff Urban. Except he, too, will not resign... Sheesh... | |||||
| 198 | Eustacio ID: 37649270 Mon, Aug 07, 12:13 |
Who are these crazy people trying to outbid me? @#;+) I smell bidding wars... | |||||
| 199 | Josie ID: 4441223 Tue, Aug 08, 15:45 | Just acquired David Ortiz. I am not letting sliced bread beat me again this year. Especially with a sweep in the next to last week of the year. | |||||
| 200 | Josie ID: 4441223 Tue, Aug 08, 15:59 | ooo. I get to make the 200th post. Man I traded for Ortiz and that brings my weekly salary up to 3.75 mil. Plus I have a bid on Colon for 9 mil a year. That will bring me to 4.25 mil a week. I might need to drop some salary. | |||||
| 201 | Bean Dip ID: 24456316 Tue, Aug 08, 18:58 |
Nah, that's nothing. I was dishing out almost $5 mil a week by the end of last year. Bean Dip | |||||
| 202 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Tue, Aug 08, 19:30 | Yeah BD, but you had two years of playoff and WS money to back it up :) | |||||
| 203 | Bean Dip ID: 24456316 Tue, Aug 08, 19:52 |
true. Bean Dip | |||||
| 204 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Tue, Aug 08, 23:39 | Wow. I was at about 2.75 millions per week last year. My team was cheap/you guys overspent! | |||||
| 205 | Bean Dip ID: 24456316 Tue, Aug 08, 23:50 |
I won the series and made $20 mil on the year. I wouldn't say i overspent. Bean Dip | |||||
| 206 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Tue, Aug 08, 23:51 | That twnety mill was pretty much all World Series money then. If blue hen had gotten you you wouldve came out even. And I just sent you a trade Bean Dip. | |||||
| 207 | Bean Dip ID: 24456316 Wed, Aug 09, 00:47 |
I wouldn't consider it overspending if i had lost $10 mil and won the series. That is, after all, the goal of the game. Bean Dip | |||||
| 208 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Wed, Aug 09, 11:26 | yeah, I mean the Twins don't spend anything and don't win anything, and I wouldn't consider that a good thing. | |||||
| 209 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Wed, Aug 09, 11:31 | I wasn't so much saying that you guys overspent, I was more trying to point out that I spent a cnsiderable amount less. Although my cheaper players did not make the series, I thought they had a very good chance. | |||||
| 210 | Bean Dip ID: 24456316 Wed, Aug 09, 12:23 |
Maybe its just me, but i could have sworn you were saying we overspent in the post 204, when you wrote: "you guys overspent!" Just my opinion. ;-) Bean Dip | |||||
| 211 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Wed, Aug 09, 12:26 | Comparatively speaking I meant. I agree that winning it all should be first priority at all times. No amount of money could replace the feeling I will get when I win the season 3 series. | |||||
| 212 | sliced bread ID: 23456415 Fri, Aug 11, 11:37 |
A little late but I found the list I was keeping track of voting on. So here goes... NL MVP - Todd Hollandsworth Braves NL Cy Young - Scott Erickson Giants NL ROY - Sean DePaula Padres AL MVP - Jose (maybe John but Im pretty sure it was Jose) Valentin Rangers AL Cy Young - Jeff Austin Orioles AL ROY - Brian Fields Mariners | |||||
| 213 | blue hen ID: 386331314 Fri, Aug 11, 11:53 | It was Jose. What kind of bum wins the MVP then retires? | |||||
| 214 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Fri, Aug 11, 18:44 | He wanted to go out on top. Didn't ever want to be a has-been. Actually though, since ratings don't decrease if a vet plays every day, theoretically, most players will retire at the top of their game. | |||||
| 215 | blue hen ID: 427221210 Sat, Aug 12, 10:26 | I think we need a better system for Northern Leaguers. I put in bids at about 4:15 on 20 or so players. The 15 worst ones all ended up on my roster. All other five are all on the Orioles, conceivably because he logged on for two hours and beat every bid thrown his way while I was stuck in an airport. | |||||
| 216 | Kevin - Cubs ID: 36715121 Sat, Aug 12, 10:29 | I agree with the hen on this one. I had a concert to go to and could stay and make bids all night. I ened up with 4 sub par (Bergman) Northern leaguers who cant even make my top prospects. | |||||
| 217 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Sat, Aug 12, 10:41 | I know that the commish was examining using blind bids for Northern Leaguers and if I'm not mistaken, the system is currently in the test league. | |||||
| 218 | js ID: 5975278 Sat, Aug 12, 11:15 | I was at Driver's Ed while the games were simmed, so I entered my bids at 4:00 or 4:15. | |||||
| 219 | blue hen ID: 386331314 Mon, Aug 14, 09:04 | How do you feel about BJ Surhoff? I love him too, but I want a REAL potent bat in my outfield. Thinking about a package - Surhoff, Junior Herndon, Adam Riggs, Rob Bell, perhaps (names and numbers negotiable) - for your best outfielder. If the cash works, it might get done quicker than you think. Studs only please... | |||||
