Justin Upton, Nick Castellanos, I'm starting to think that getting outfielders based on their stubbed toe UZR ratio was a bad idea...

I still have the Chris Davis of fantasy bullpens. Zero saves.

Right now I have Doolittle, Givens and Kennedy. Should I drop Givens and Kennedy and use their roster spots to stream vulture saves? It's a Yahoo pro league, so unlimited add/drops, but a 1400 inning limit for the season.

Are Ryan Pressly, Ottavino, or Familia available? I'd rather roster solid 8th inning guys like that, than trying to stream a bunch of mediocre RP hoping you time things just right.

I dropped Rogers for Pressly the other night for the same reason, plus Pressly is going to just rack up strikeouts.

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
You can vulture saves using whatever site tracks those, but obviously it's leaving things to chance

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
So, sometimes drafting a ton of closers works out. Someone in my league offered a 1B for a closer, so I threw out Freeman for Treinen, and it was accepted.

I still have Yates, Hader, Allen, Smith, and Greene.

Years ago I played in a league with a guy who drafted as many closers as he possibly could, and ended up making some pretty savvy trades and won the league.

You should never veto for trade rape you should veto for collusion. Ripping someone off isn't a vetoable reason and he should be mad.

Yeah, you only veto for collusion. Your opinion about whether or not the trade was fair is irrelevant.

I dunno, I don't like to veto good-faith trades, but there is a limit. Like I would veto a Trout for Eduardo Nunez trade even if it wasn't collusion. And probably leave the league if it went through.

There's been plenty of trades where I thought one side was getting the better end of it, but there's been a few so bad that I wonder if the guy trading Stanton is just trolling at this point.

Then why let the other ones through? You guys are being really selective about this one trade. You let the Arenado one through, and the Flaherty deal.

Heyward is currently the #10 ranked player in this league. Maybe he has finally put things together. Stanton is currently on the DL. He could spend half the season there if the bicep injury is recurring. I don't get what it is about this trade that is such an insult to you. I get being a Cubs fan you're down on Heyward, but jesus gently caress you guys are acting like he has negative trade value.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't actually vote against it until he coyly acted like he was just your AAA team (wherein I voted against all of them because then yes, it did seem like he was actually just loving with the league for laughs).

I still maintain my position. Collusion/trolling is veto-able and he was probably doing one of them

Fwiw I also voted against the Arenado trade. But apparently not enough of us did.

Also if it makes you feel any better you're kicking the poo poo out of me this week. Yeesh.
