The spot represents Forrest Whitley SP, whom I emailed ESPN about and they said he will not be added until he makes his MLB debut. I am dropping Boyd to make his spot That’s not how that works. In draft ok but in season it goes to waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we need to make one for this league now that the line has been crossed, but there is not one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even remember waiting for a guy to clear waivers before out of fairness. But between ESPN slacking and that line having already been crossed...I am getting my guy. He stands a huge chance of becoming a keeper now that I traded Kluber and everyone is valuing SPs so high. Keeping him is cheaper than trading for him later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we need to make one for this league now that the line has been crossed, but there is not one yet. When he pops up in the league I wouldn't be at all against someone adding him. I don't think that this is legitimate at all. In fact, I almost want to pick him up as soon as he's added just to prove a point. There's no rule that says that you CAN'T do it, but there's also absolutely nothing that says that you CAN. Can someone take the #1 overall pick in the amateur draft this year as soon as it happens? That's a super slippery slope. As for pitchers being undervalued, I think that it's because of the categories and roster makeup. Streaming is a very viable option to win the categories in which you accumulate stats to win, those being K, QS, and W. That's only 3/8, I know, but if you've already put together a really good hitting team, that's enough to tip the scales in your favor. A lot of leagues give you a "win" for each category that you take, which gives those other ones more meaning, but this is a "winner-take-all" league each week, which definitely changes things. I would like to see either another roster spot (maybe even for RP's) or an even higher innings minimum to help balance that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballPhreak Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Almost impossible; Trout, Harper, Whitley Hard; Mejia, Keller, Davis Rest can be moved at or even some below value. Some useful guys; Andrus, Porcello, Darvish Lots of this junk roster can be had for a 17rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slippery slope started when X drafted a guy. We are on it now though and there is no way we can allow one but not the other. Allowing draft picks to take place of waiver order? That makes less sense than claiming an open roster spot for a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded the #1 rated SP last year, a .300/100RBI 2B, and a 1rd pick (likely to be very high)for a single guy. I would say I overpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give you Gennett and Upton for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't matter if he was 60yo, he was #1 last year and showing no signs of slowing down. I essentially gave 3 solid keepers+ for a single player. No matter how you spin it, that is alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the trade works out for both sides. I have Juan Soto. He’s the future of baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
