It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
12 team roto, behind in HR/RBI, 2nd in AVG. Just acquired Posey in a trade and picked up Lucroy as a FA (guess someone got tired of his poo poo)
Thinking of offering Posey straight up for Chris Davis. Should I do it?

Not quite related to fantasy baseball, but where do you get a custom av these days? I checked SA Mart, Post your request, and mistakenly ventured in to GBS.

I think Posey is worth more than that.

People are obsessed with Pre-season rank on yahoo and it's hard to get them to budge. They're around the same rank which is why I settled on Davis. I guess I can throw some feeler trades out there.

And I meant getting a custom one designed. I know I've seen a few threads for that around.

If you don't want to make it yourself, you can make a thread in SA Mart or just ask someone. I made the blinking Bo one I have now and I <3 it. I've made them for people for AV certs before, which are like $5.

I guess if you really want to chase HRs you could do that, but I would rather go after somebody with a bit higher AVG floor.

And thank you to every other person in that league who was paying even less attention than me and let him pass through waivers and sit there for a few days before I realized he was there and picked him up.

No kidding. I play in a league that locks rosters weekly and starts 5 SP a week. The bench is only 5 deep and there's no DL. With Thor, Paxton, and Kluber on the DL and undroppable, my roster is a mess. Thankfully I grabbed Quintana a month ago when he got dropped because there is loving nothing on the ww right now.

Xander Bogaerts is slugging .448 without a single home run. That would break the all-time record of .442, and shatter the record of .366 in the last 25 years.

Same reason you would build one anywhere I suppose :confused:

For anyone with Kennedy, don't forget he's coming off the DL tomorrow to start one of the games in the doubleheader.

(he was actually coming off today but you get a free pass if you forgot :v:)

I phrased that oddly, I guess I'm wondering more why it doesn't have a retractable roof.

I also didn't realize that Target Field has been open 7 years already. I don't pay a lot attention to the AL Central. :)

Have you heard about this Aaron Sanchez fellow? He's rivaling Rich Hill in the blister and fingernail department.

Also at this rate Kevin Gausman is going to win the Cy Young with a 6.50 ERA because he's simply healthy.

Hey, if you didn't want a guy with ball cancer on your roster, maybe you should've added genetic risk assessment as part of your draft prep, like a true fantasy pro. :smug:

In one of my leagues, only three of the 10 teams have actually changed their lineups since a week after the draft. The dude in 3rd place has been starting Eaton, Bumgarner, Paxton, and Bedrosian the whole time. His team ERA is a 1.72; the next lowest is a 3.27. I'm at a 4.56 almost entirely thanks to Salazar, Kluber, and Robbie Ray.



I really hate public leagues.
