Man, I went to bet a cool V-Grand on Samardjiza and missed the cutoff by one minute...my luck hasn't been so good lately.

Not a bad way to spend the sunset years of ones baseball career. I know Fernando went back and played a little after he retired. Cantu was a decent player and fantasy option for a few years.

And I am just glad that I do not have Samardjiza and Cain on the same team. In fact, I lucked out BIG TIME with Cain, as he was only 1 of 4 pitchers going on that team, with the others being Wilson, Gio Gonzales, & Masterson. Kind of evened out Cain's suckage.....

Yeah, same for me with Liriano...did I just say that?


Liriano evened out Samardijza's suckage....is this Bizarro Fantasy Baseball World?

More like Liriano just taking about 5 more years to become both good and consistant than most baseball folks thought he would.

A perfect fit?

A perfect fit?

Not much of a better fit ever. The uber-demonstritive Valverde, wearing a uni featuring a hot dog, with a color scheme remenisant of the old Tequila Sunrise Astro uni's of the 1980's.

Ryan Braun placed on the bereavement list. Word is he's attending the funeral of his baseball career.

Somewhere, Tlance is doing a happy dance in honor of the fact that I didn't accept his trade offer...

 

[Philabuster5]

What IS a fair Braun offer?
In a redraft? In a dynasty?

Geesh, if I had to guess (and it'd be a guess)
Mujica in a redraft? Fowler type OF
In a dynasty? Shit...that's even trickier. I could see G.Cole for Braun...could see Rendon maybe.
Tough to gauge his value. Other than half of what it was.
Maybe even less in a dynasty.

I dunno, make me an offer and let's find out!

 

[Chef99]

Well, here we go...if anyone thinks this trade is insane, I understand...but i'm making no apologies. He had to go.

We'll see what we see. Philabuster, you must LOVE dealin' with me!

 

[Philabuster5]

Well shit we did it again Chef
I'm predicting 4-5 weeks of Braun before appeals run out.
Worth a gamble for more

Considering what you're giving up, I don't see it as being much of a gamble.

This is the point where I stop posting for a day or two until I decide how badly I screwed up this time!

I'm just sayin', though...you never know...something could be ::ahem:: brewing...

 

[Philabuster5]

I'd say there's a better than 50% chance Braun isn't around for our playoffs.
But, if it gets me a one week bye, for having him until then, I think worth it.
Of course Holliday gets hurt badly tonight, bringing Taveras one step closer...I just couldn't carry a 7th OF.
Taveras isn't healthy enough YET...but Adams and Jay better perform.

Damn, you moved fast on Adams. Poor Arenado, but I think next year will be more his time to shine.
