MLB Salary Challenge Chat

Okay, so is this like fantasy, we're just playing through the end of the season? Or will we pick up again next year?

Basically, I'm asking about the value of youth and how much I should take injuries into account.

 

[Ritzarmy]

HUH?

I said for the first two rounds which would mean we would each pick one player in round 1 then one player in round 2 then starting with the GM picking first we start making double picks which would be round 3...

Damn your math skills

I think Kershaw could very well end up 1 of the top pitchers of all time. He already has the lowest era of anyone after 100 starts, over Kofax and Ford.

Starting off like no other pitcher in history of the game...sure things could change with TJs but we are seeing a phenominal run already, it goes another 3 to 5 years and woah.

Its sorta as bad as saying if Trout keeps up his pace he could be one of the all time greats but Kershaw has a few years of complete domination ahead of him. Nobody has pitched like Kershaw, trout needs to get a few MVPs first.

What is the record for consecutive Cy Youngs?

Oh, I loved watching Bonds, period and Pujols did a 10 year run like almost nobody else ever.

Fair points. Kershaw really can end up as one of the all time best pitchers. I guess i just consider it a bit early to jump him over (IMO) the 2nd best player ever.

Not sure I could put Bonds #2... Not sure I could put him top 5... I was a huge Bonds fan while he was in Pittsburgh but when he turned into giant head Barry not so much.

I get that people dont like him and i get that people may discount him a little without roids. BUT even without them he was easily a HOFer and one of the best players ever. I personally dont care about roids too much and if you simply look at what he did roids or no i think he has to be #2.

How can u change trout and not anyone else?

are we using a 25 man roster?
are we using a DH?
some players are not listed on opening day payrolls can we use them?

If you didn't have the #1 pick would be questioning the Trout salary, LOL. Seriously its only Trout because that's the only big difference in a players worth then his actual salary.

Yes on DH. You can draft 25 SP's if you like however your team wont advance in the playoff voting. Your making the best team for $110million then we will hold a playoff voting on SportsHoopla to determine whose team is best.

If the player isn't listed on opening day payrolls then send Nos or myself the player you like that's available and what salary they are currently making.

No its just us drafting guys then we will hold a playoff poll on SportsHoopla on who has the best team. You draft in order 25 guys under $110million then afterwards we will have the playoffs.
