OT - I'm bored, Part Cinco!

Plus if you got into the playoffs as the 4th seed, you'd face the guy who basically traded away most of his draft picks next draft to get a bunch of guys. His team is going to be pretty bad next season unless he drafts amazing.

The weaker teams are starting to play better and vice versa with the good teams

I decided to avoid trades this year. See how my team would fare with just FA and the waiver wire. Next year, I might look into dealing a little bit, either selling off parts of my team for draft picks, or buying a bit.

 

[ritari330]

I want to sell, but nobody seems to be buying

 

[Darkstone42]

Yeah, I might sell if I drop to 5th after next week, if trading is still active, but if there are no buyers, I guess we'll see.

I got this trade offer today though:

I would send:
Chase Utley
Nelson Cruz
Sean Marshall

And would get:
Brandon Phillips
Brennan Boesch
Jon Rauch
Roy Oswalt

Not a horrible trade, but Utley and Cruz are 2 of my keepers and while Phillips is a keeper, I don't think Boesch is, nor do I think Oswalt is either. I'd rather just get Picks. I really wanted to trade Josh Beckett after the year he's had, but no one seems that interested

 

[ritari330]

You could buy from me?

You could buy from me?

I'm a Pirates fan. I don't know how to buy! :p

 

[ritari330]

It's easy, you just fork over your 1st round draft pick for the next 4 years....

 

[ritari330]

What's your thoughts on that deal I was sent though?

Hope y'all are having a great weekend.

Howdy

I should probably look at it, eh?

And, eloco!

So Monday after work, I am being dragged to the mall because I need to buy clothes. Most of my clothes are now too big and don't fit right. Anyway, my female friends thought they'd like to make a to do about it, so I am going with 5 chicks to help me shop. I feel like I'm going to end up being like a dress up doll...whatever though. I need new clothes

 

[Darkstone42]

Don't do that deal.

 

[ritari330]

I already declined it, I was just wondering what your thoughts about it was.

 

[ritari330]

If I were still in the race, or if this was earlier in the year, maybe, but now? No

 

[ritari330]

On a related note to me getting new clothes, I now weigh 194.5 LBs as of this morning
