CVE posted:Hmm I kinda need Klein since he can play both LF and RF. Anything else I can give you to sweeten the deal? Something from my feeders or minors preferebly? Haha. This was basically the reason I wanted to keep Klein. How about Klein/Curt Davis for Rixey/(Sparky Lyle or Steve Reed)?

The Merry Marauder posted:I believe you advocate discarding "early seasons," so let's throw out SL V and VI at least, and probably even SL VII, given the people throwing baseballs in the DL that season (e.g. the Radbourns). That's fair. The Pharmas problem is that they're largely "acceptable" at all positions, but a team of acceptable dudes only goes so far without elite talent. Fisk is acceptable, I think, and you can live with him at catcher if you've got some other cool poo poo going on. But trading elite talent (or a pick that'd get elite talent) to get several acceptable dudes isn't going to take you places. Except to the championship series when your division has a down year and you catch a superior team in a short series, but that's not anything you count on. "Holy poo poo lucky" is not a viable plan. Back on board with the Blyleven/Abreu trade assuming Forzelt and CVE can work out their side.

<@SmasherDynamo> One has something great! One has something pretty good! One has....not as much. <&McFreeze> what if you collect them all <@SmasherDynamo> Well, yes, if you get all three, then you get the Mystery Envelope Gold. <@HulkaMatt> WAT <@SmasherDynamo> Now, what's in that, you might ask? <@HulkaMatt> yeah i wanna know <@SmasherDynamo> I guess there's only one way to find out. <@Monathin> OH poo poo <@CFBalla> God dammit smasher <@Monathin> IT BEGINS <@SmasherDynamo> Is it worth destroying your team? <@SmasherDynamo> Is what is in that envelope better than what you'd have to give up?

Oh Christ, here we go again. I'm somewhat annoyed that I'm not feasibly able to get any of the envelopes without destroying my team in the process, and in the event that there's another RNG God/MACHINE level player hiding in there, I'm going to be more than somewhat annoyed. EDIT: Oh god, it's going to be a bidding war. Never mind my previous annoyance, I'm just looking forward to the Schadenfreude for when it turns out that Smasher wanted to throw a curveball this time and the golden envelope was not worth giving up a ton of good guys for.

It will be (probably really) good, but will it be worth a bidding war for three DD picks? Probably not.

Take the Mystery Envelope and then make Smasher play Monty Hall and then watch the beginning of 21, I guess.

God dammit, Beet, I was gonna do a thing with a 2nd Rounder-for-Cronin pick, but then Llama tried to counter-offer and I wound up having to go to work and then you do THIS. So here's my counter-counter offer: Convince me not to blow it on one of the Mystery Envelopes. They're all in the LF slot on the spreadsheet, and I need a new LF (mainly as an excuse not to put HoJo or Hamilton there), and I dare not take my chances on the last remaining Old Bonds because there's no way to prove he was The Worst's weak link.

Hmm, what would a pick in the near future cost me? I kinda want to take a chance on old Bonds probably (don't have nearly the ressources to fight the fight for the envelopes) and might be convinced to trade for a pick.

You know, I didn't think that the next two draft picks after the reveal of the envelopes was going to be regular players. Nobody want to take a dive on a single envelope?

Not with a Cobb and a Bonds still on the board. Later on when you're taking best available reliever yeah, envelope away.
