I would still rather own Hernandez

 

[TREFF]

all of this closer talk makes me realize the silver lining of the autodraft hosing me on closers...I may not have gotten a team built to withstand punting saves, but at least I don't have to worry about scraping together a couple closers from the scrap heap. It's the little thingsl...

Funny you mention that, been toying with the idea. Sigh...i'm also thinking about making a move that might turn out to be a "seemed like a good idea at the time" kinda thing.

Well, did not get Bell. Waiver 4 was not high enough. Got Hernandez so now hoping Bell folds like last year. In the meantime will go with Bentancourt and Melancon at RP-must start two RP in this league. Waiting game for Madsen and Bailey has officially started.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I don't think Madson is any kind of lock to become the closer.

*** no interest in Jimmy Rollins out there hmm?

About the same amount as Andre Ethier it seems.

.280/20/80 OF guys are not all that hard to come by actually. More valuable in real life than fantasy though. That said, I am actually hoping the Dodgers can find someone to unload him on, so their uber-kid Puig can start his MLB career.

Good point. I've never owned Ethier before and never really paid attention to him, but it seemed like he always had decent numbers. I've watched a good amount of Dodgers games this year, and he just seems like a soft player. No fire at all.

 

[Chef99]

Now that I think of it, Kevin McReynolds comes to mind...

Chef, BigDDude, Reverend Jim and Philabuster - this is wilwhite from the football side of the MBBRL. Most of the guys in the baseball side are in our Suicide League for football, but we have a spot left. It's Suicide because we're drafting in May and there are no waiver claims or trades. Jump up and down and scream if you're interested.

No fire is a sadly apt description. And, he has no wheels at all, which is kind of weird, as he is not a big guy at all.

Thank you very much for the invite Wil. Let me just say that your love of football preceeds you here. That said, it will be a no from me, as I don't do fantasy football, as I use that 3 months to give my brain a break from baseball.

 

[Philabuster5]

Thanks Wil, but I'll have to pass too.
I had heard rumblings of other sports existing...... I guess it's true. Hmmph.

I do appreciate the offer, I just have no clue about football...or basketball, or hockey (not all us Canadians care)... that's it right? I'm trying to remember from my childhood

 

[Chef99]

Thanks also, but i'll have to pass as well. My brain is overloaded with baseball as it is right now.

 

[wilwhite]

I know what you mean. I love baseball, and I can't handle fantasy baseball.

Now, if I can only somehow magically stay awake for the next 6 hours........

 

[Reverend Jim]

I know what you mean. I love baseball, and I can't handle fantasy baseball.

I'm just the opposite, I love football but can't handle fantasy football. It took me almost 10 years of playing before I could admit how bad I suck at it.
That would be a no from me as well, but the offer is appreciated.

 

[wilwhite]

Cool, guys. Good luck. Which poor schlub has Harper?

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Cool, guys. Good luck. Which poor schlub has Harper?

Not me! I have Hamilton.........wishing I had Harper

 

[BigDDude]

Not me! I have Hamilton.........wishing I had Harper

Not that it is really hurting you.


At least not right now, at this EXACT time and date.
