December 2, 201213 yr Name might have been part of the blockbuster but I might have gotten my 3Bman. Plouffe there it is. I'm not sure I can argue for/against any part of the Upton/Latos and Medlen/Sandoval trade
December 3, 201213 yr Yeah, Bee Chem is a chump. But the rule is ridiculous in that it only punishes the noble (or the lazy). If the rule was enforceable, I might feel differently, but there's little gained from having a trading freeze, other than giving people a sure-thing break, which the league should be under no obligation to give.He's a weird dude, got banned 3+ years from his sweedish baseball league because he punched some dude in the face during a game. lolol how did you find this out In the other league we were talking about various baseball leagues we are currently in. I think I was thrilled because I hit my first home run in something like 14 years, he mentioned the league that he is in that he was finally able to get reinstated in, I pinged him more about it and he basically said some guy was talking **** to one of his team mates so he went up and knocked some dude out cold haha Bee is a cock sometimes, but I actually have grown to get along with him more often then not lately, if anything else he provides entertainment.
December 3, 201213 yr Author Name might have been part of the blockbuster but I might have gotten my 3Bman. Plouffe there it is. I'm not sure I can argue for/against any part of the Upton/Latos and Medlen/Sandoval trade i think it's pretty even. i just wanted a SP instead of an OF. don't think i couldve gotten one better than Latos (i tried). Any of you guys want Beckett, Blanton, Oswalt, Soto, Marmol or Wilson? Will need to move one or two to make room.
December 4, 201213 yr Unless it's a IF'er or a front line player I don't have any mlb needs right. Beckett would be interesting if I didn't already have 9 starters. I will be shopping ervin pretty hard since I don't need him.

December 7, 201213 yr Well I just lost my only closer for next season and I'm not really willing to pay the price for closers in this league. This does free up another roster spot though. Dave - I don't think anything will work out for Ervin. you're prospects are either good or they are bad (worse than guys I'm cutting). I've got someone else interested with more appropriate mid tier prospects.
December 10, 201213 yr Of course Dave had to trade down to the pick right in front of me so I'm going to have to keep quiet about my favorites in the draft. Psuedo is sitting in an interesting spot although I liked Dave's original spot at #6. Imo Dave traded down because #12 is a semi reasonable spot to pick a Twin not named Buxton. I'm not mentioning guys that I think will be available on purpose but here are the guys that I think will be gone when I pick. Correa, Buxton, Zunino and Gausman - no doubt top picksSoler - I think he's that goodZimmer/Giolito - someone will still take both of them I thinkPuig - the Dodgers spent stupid money on him but scouts don't seem to think he was worth itOtani - will he sign?Almora The next wave that I think I'll be in happily - Dahl, Fried, Russell, Seager, Wacha and even Berrios. that's 16 deep so I think I'll be happy with my pick and I'm sure I can add a few more names to this list.
December 13, 201213 yr Author So Dave and I made the following trade: Fernando RodneyJosh BeckettTeam Name's 2nd Round, #42 MiLB pick for Brett GardnerBrian DozierBMH's 1st Round, #12 MiLB pick *** I'm happy although a bit unsure whether my decision to give Dave Rodney instead of Nathan will bite me in the ass. Rodney is 3 years younger and coming off a historic season but I think Nathan is the more valuable player for the next 2 seasons. I get Gardner back after trading him to Dave for Austin Jackson (and Slolowey) awhile back. Think he's a nice buy-low and speed always has some value in this league. Also gives me a new OF after trading Upton, although McCutcheon, Rios, Ichiro and Chris Young is pretty solid. Love having a high MiLB pick. Like the guys in the 10-15 range. Knowing me, I'll probably flip the draftee for a veteran SP later in the year, but this league puts more value on prospects than picks so whatever. Dave gets 2 guys who don't help him long term but easily flippable if they produce in Beckett and Rodney for moving down 30 spots.
December 14, 201213 yr I like the trade for Name and don't really understand for Dave. It could work out if Beckett has a nice bounce back season but even then he doesn't seem like a guy that will bring in a prospect haul. I DO NOT TRUST Rodney.
December 14, 201213 yr Meh, I didn't need Gardner, I have plenty of OF depth. Beckett could have a nice year and a lot of wins.
December 19, 201213 yr Author man, i didn't realize how many players i've traded to Dave lol. Galvez, JonathanMcAllister, ZachBeckett, JoshCecil, BrettSurkamp, EricRodney, FernandoDe Los Santos, MiguelWRIGHT, AUSTIN
December 21, 201213 yr Author nice trade kab! you gave up a ton but hard to argue against getting Sale and Weeks (or any competent 2B for that matter).
December 21, 201213 yr Sale was the key and now I'm pretty stacked aside from closers. I'm actually trying to get either of Reyes or Tulo but I would rather not give up everything I have left on the farm. My farm system now consists of Bogaerts, Rosario, Hedges and a bunch of fringe top 100 prospects. Still a solid system but more middle of the pack. Sometime I need to make a list of all of the top prospects that I've traded away. It would be a pretty impressive list even though most of the prospects have fizzled. The only prospects that made it to the majors were Alonso, JWeeks and Parker and I've traded the last two already. Is there a backdoor access to the BYTO archives? About a year ago I had compiled a list of all of my trades and it would be nice to look back in hindsight. I think the only one that looks bad is Dan Haren for Jordan Zimmerman (before he came back from TJ), Mejia (before he had TJ), Singleton and Dwyer. And Haren carried me to 2nd place that year.
December 21, 201213 yr I have access to the BYTO archives, if I get a moment free today I will dig it up.
December 21, 201213 yr man, i didn't realize how many players i've traded to Dave lol. Galvez, JonathanMcAllister, ZachBeckett, JoshCecil, BrettSurkamp, EricRodney, FernandoDe Los Santos, MiguelWRIGHT, AUSTINBunch of garbage.

December 21, 201213 yr You can't sort previous years trades (at least I can't). It just shows the whole transaction log for the year. At a minimum I've traded the following but there are probably a dozen other fringe top 100 prospectsJMonteroMyersMesoracoDrabekHicksSanoSkaggsSanchezOdorizziMiddlebrooksCamposArciaMejiaSingleton
December 22, 201213 yr On trading Timmy, I'm not selling low on him, and I'm not actively looking to deal him. I don't expect to get what I traded for him, but I'm going to need a rich deal if I'm going to move him. Make me quality (not quantity) offers and maybe we can work something out.
December 23, 201213 yr I just made you an offer for Lincecum.Not at all interested. I have three closers...
December 26, 201213 yr Author lol going through old transactions and found this gem. can anyone top this?
