In my defense, I don't think I ever actually signed up last year at any point. I was on ESPN one day and got a notification y'all were drafting and I was very surprised.Quote:

I had a dream I took Albert Puhols in the draft and Veil criticized the pick in the chat and I quit the league and deleted taoforums because I couldn't deal with the pressure.
Hopefully I don't draft Puhols.
Ill draft him for you Hulky.
He was my only pick in my dream, the rest was autodraft and I had 0 pitchers when I took Puhols lol.Quote:

Posey should be good to go for catcher, and Lucroy was my last pick and could theoretically get some starts if Posey goes to 1B (but not likely since I drafted a bunch of 1B).
1B: Eric Hosmer, Miguel Cabrera, Chris Davis
Hosmer is likely my every day 1B, and Cabrera is my UTIL. If Cabrera's back flares back up hopefully Chris Davis is healthy to give my team UTIL power.
2B: Eduardo Nunez (Paul DeJong, and Chris Taylor)
Edwardo Nunez is my second baseman, but should injuries strike positional versatility of my other guys wont pigeon hole me into picking up a 2B.
3B: Mike Moustakas (Edwardo Nunez)
Probably isn't "elite" power, but he's one of my power guys. Should be a solid third baseman.
SS: Paul Dejong
Picked him up last year and really liked him. Cardinals picked up Ozuna too so his lineup improved around him.
OF: Charlie Blackmon, Andrew McCutchen, Chris Talyor (Mark Trumbo)
Chris Taylor starts the year as my third OF while Trumbo's leg gets better. Once Trumbo is back I can readjust for more power if I need it, and Taylor could move to 2B if Nunez is under performing at that point. Blackmon was nuts last year and should lead off again. McCutchen I've wanted for years and never have had the opportunity, and this year I got him and I probably will get to follow him more this year as he is local with the Giants.
RP:
Kenley Jansen, Aroldis Chapman, Cody Allen
Imma rack up the points with my P and RP positions.
SP:
Madison Bumgarner, Noah Syndergaard, Justin Verlander, Luis Castillo, Johnny Cueto, Taijuan Walker, Julio Tehran
I think I might have the best pitching group. The issue is injury concerns, but unless I get hit wicked hard I should have depth to allow any of them to miss time and keep it rolling.
Overall I think my team is super heavy on pitching talent and will need someone to break out in the 2B/SS/OF3 spots to be a playoff team. I think it's possible though and I'm chill with my team.
Stretta's pitching is top tier, he stacked the fuck out of that shit. Though fwiw I really like my team as well (you can't really not in a 10 teamer)
C - Gary Sanchez, Austin Hedges
1B - Ryan Zimmermann
2B - Brandon Drury
3B - Kyle Seager
SS - Alex Bregman
OF - Giancarlo Stanton, Khris Davis, Nomar Mazara, Adam Eaton
SP - Max Scherzer, Gerrit Cole, Aaron Nola, Danny Duffy, Jon Gray, Colin Mchugh, Lance Lynn, Aaron Sanchez
RP - Craig Kimbrel, Felipe Rivero, Sean Doolittle
What I like about this though is there's a high floor, with potential first to third round production from like 80% of my team. I'm projected for 275 Homers this year, and that's probably undervaluing 3 guys on that roster (Drury, Eaton, and Hedges)
Madison Bumgarner broke his pitching hand.
...
god damn it
my team is good, fuck you spencer
Lol!
Get some relief pitching and then we'll talk.
you can relief pitch these nuts
UNDEFEATED TWO WEEKS IN A ROW!x
Talk to me when you get it to 13-0. Pass that, I'll give you respect you desire. #Robbed of the championship that yearQuote:

I got fucked in 2015 vs Thunder when I lost by 1.5, I still remember it vividly,someone bunted, fielded by Nunez, had no chance whatsoever to get him, Thunder's pitcher was going, Nunez fields, he was already one step from first base, he fires, over throws, runner on 3rd scores with 1 out, guy counts it as an error and an unearned run. Would of counted as -1 and -2 for the QS giving me the win. Cause it should of gone as a hit, but because Nunez is a fucking twat...
Broke my heart, considering it was literally a base hit that Nunez just went "FUCK IT" and threw it into the stands, thus ruining my year. I forgot this year, but I was planning on trying to find a way to fix the playoffs slightly. It's kinda boring to have 1 person dominate the entire year then get waxed round 1 cause he had 1 bad week out of 30 y'know? lol. Maybe Ottoneu might be able to fix it
Ya the playoffs 1 week elimination is pretty lame. And I find it funny you've not been able to actually win the championship honestly. I think you and hulky are due.
I've never won fantasy any sport any league and I've done it for a decade.
lol.
I've never won fantasy any sport any league and I've done it for a decade.
lol.
I crushed Thunder's league once, I still remember that pitching rotation (2013) I had King Felix, Bumgarner, Kluber, Iwakuma, Cliff Lee, and Liriano. Never looked back lol
I'm winning it with rookie phenoms drafted for cheap.

Maybe a lil premature but lol
Looking to trade one of Cruz, Devers, or Sano for some starting pitching help if anyone is interested. Can also package with one of my outfielders not named Bryce Harper.

robbie ray for ohtani
somebody do a 1/3rd of the season write up after this week and I'll give them a firm handshake and a pat on the butt, good game style.

Detail is bueno
I will. I've been slacking hard on the power rankings because I'm a bitch like that.
1/3 of the season over. Ed if you're still doing it message me on FB. If not I'll type one up tonight.
Go for it sano. I was gonna write one yesterday but got a little busy.
Can the commish put Ozzie Albies in the guy who is inactive's lineup over Corey Seager who is on DL? He's like the hottest 2B and is wasting on an inactive teams bench while a 60 day DL guy starts at UTIL. Probably doesn't win anymore games, but at least holds a shot in hell.
I think we have 10 teams and 8 playoff teams and if this goes on much longer only 1 active person fails to make playoffs so it snipes the competition a bit.
I'm mad he has Betts and Albies. Literally the best at their respective positions right now and he's not gonna do shit with his team.
To be quite honest, i'm 2 seconds away from assuming direct control of his team and just holding a "redraft" of his team to everyone else, I don't use the word much anymore, but he made this huge deal that he wanted to get into fantasy baseball and all this shit, then when he found out it was a free league, he didn't want in cause "that's not fun" and got drunk on the draft day, he literally acted like the biggest fuckboy faggot over it afterward to. I haven't talked to him since we drafted. Dude is legit dead to me, don't fuck up my league.
Also 6 out of 10 make it Hulk. I had to lower it.
What's really fucked is I somehow still lost to him because my real life favorite players shit all over me (well, JD isn't really one of my favorite players yet, but he's certainly putting the work in to get there)..
My team has just had some shitty luck to start the season. I feel like I'm due to reel off a solid few wins in a row at this point.
My team has been on fire lately and I don't think it's gonna slow down.
