Made another trade today with the roster crunch in mind and trying to deal from a position of relative strength. I get a bit older, but we'll see.
BJ Upton and Darwin Barney for Brandon Phillips and Jeurys Familia. How'd I do?

I made my roster cuts today. Now I'm ready for an uneventful draft after the first picks.
I'm kind of thinking we should start a private FB group to take these discussions off here. I think I'm headed towards multiple suspensions in the future here because this place is overrun by idiots. Either that or I simply stop coming here.
That's fine with me. I'm not sure I'm fb friends with you and mike though. I am with Dave.Quote:

Odd turn of events today.
Lololololol
Whatever. It makes me glad that I've traded most of my prospects to go for it.

i never got into the whole facebook/myspace thing but you guys have my e-mail should you stop visiting these forums. this thread is my only use of this forum. one time i ventured out into the twins chat area and couldn't handle the stupidity, so i'm not shocked to hear kab's concerns.
Meh, I needed to drop a league anyways, and this one is full of mouth breathers. Tim is a piece of **** though, he easily could have made the picks I asked for. Good luck to you guys this year.
you ended up getting Jake Arrieta (not sure if anyone ever answered you in the emails) and he actually mightve been the highest rated SP/2B/SS by CBS. he was on my radar.Quote:

I don't blame kab either, but while I'm sure I have your email somewhere, will you PM me it just so i have another record or it.Quote:

Tim's problem is that he's running and playing in like 20 leagues (an exaggeration). I have no problem with him although he doesn't really take charge of situations. The rest of league leaves a lot to be desired. Steve is a schmuck that enjoyed all of this controversy and didn't even try to explain it until the end. I will continue to deal prospects heavily because this league seems to have a blowup like this often.
Its been building up with Scott and Tim in other leagues I am in. It is really bull**** that they couldn't make the selection I asked for. Especially when we pay CBS to host this league.Quote:

I bet there will be openings next offseason. Dave got replaced immediately. It's a fun, complicated league. I'll keep you in mind.Quote:

Sounds great. I'll PM you with my email.Quote:

Good to know. I didn't know you had interest, because there was some openings this offseason. I might give your guys' email to the commish for reference. PM your email, Ben?Quote:
