I'd be game for a goon league or two as well. Prefer H2H, but I don't really care how out there the categories are. Somebody had a league that counted putouts, which would be hilarious.

Hah, I'm in that same league. I think the change to the keeper rules means I get to keep Arenado again, this time in the 15th. I'm thinking him, Lindor in the 24th, and Syndergaard in the 25th.

e: Or maybe Dozier in the 6th, I'm not sure yet.

I guess this 10-team H2H keeper league I'm in is actually happening. We got a new commish who changed the keeper rules and I get to keep Nolan Arenado in the 15th round for basically his entire career. Also I guess I'm keeping Lindor in the 24th as well, because drat.

As for the third keeper, I could keep Syndergaard in the 25th round (which is probably what I'm going to do), or go with one of Dozier in the 6th or Yelich in the 16th.

Any thoughts?

Why is keeping Thor in the 25th round even a question

Eh, not really. I was mostly just curious if anyone thought Dozier could do last season again.

Which seems less and less likely the more I think about it.

e: Also partly unrelated, but I think the commish is not good at fantasy baseball.

Same $20 league as the others:


1. (8) José Altuve (Hou - 2B)
2. (17) Noah Syndergaard (NYM - SP)
3. (32) Ryan Braun (Mil - OF)
4. (41) Jon Lester (ChC - SP)
5. (56) Christian Yelich (Mia - OF)
6. (65) Justin Upton (Det - OF)
7. (80) Khris Davis (Oak - OF)
8. (89) Cole Hamels (Tex - SP)
9. (104) Albert Pujols (LAA - 1B)
10. (113) Cody Allen (Cle - RP)
11. (128) Aarón Sánchez (Tor - SP)
12. (137) Adrián González (LAD - 1B)
13. (152) Dansby Swanson (Atl - SS)
14. (161) Aaron Nola (Phi - SP)
15. (176) Adam Wainwright (StL - SP)
16. (185) Tony Watson (Pit - RP)
17. (200) Héctor Neris (Phi - RP)
18. (209) Pedro Strop (ChC - RP)
19. (224) Evan Gattis (Hou - C)
20. (233) Jedd Gyorko (StL - 1B,2B,3B,SS)
21. (248) Luke Gregerson (Hou - RP)
22. (257) Mike Napoli (Tex - 1B)
23. (272) Carlos Gómez (Tex - OF)

Aside from stealing a couple relievers from Teemu Pokemon, I'm not that confident. I think I might drop Gomez for another hitter. And on second thought I don't know that Altuve works well in this league.

Who's likely to get playing time in Marte's place?

Jesus Christ Jon Lester.

Somehow I still have a 2.53 ERA this week thanks to Aaron Nola and Robbie Ray.

Trade question:

R/HR/SB/RBI/OBP/SLG for hitters
W/SV/K/HLD/ERA/WHIP for pitchers

I have Christian Yelich on the trading block, and I've been offered Danny Duffy for him. I can't decide to accept or maybe counter offer Yelich for Carlos Martinez, maybe? I'd like a bit of advice on it first. Thanks!

I'm getting better with that. Goons in the goon league have been waiting on my trades all year YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Yeah that was me.

To be fair I've been so busy with work I barely have time to set my roster some days.

Like today, when I benched Mike Leake by accident and he stunk up the place.

Didi Gregorious and Nick Castellanos carried me to the semifinals in the $20 Goon League.

Sometimes I love fantasy baseball.

I eked out the slightest of wins in the semi-finals of the goon league yesterday, winning the tiebreaker and only getting the tie during the final game last night. Go me. Even if I don't win the finals I still get :10bux:

e: The guy I'm facing in the finals has Judge and Trout, I have... Justin Upton and Jose Altuve as my two best hitters.

Hmm, my teams all seem to have poo poo themselves in the finals. I'm proud they've both made the finals but way to blow it on the big stage :smith:

You guys down in the dumps about the fact that you chose head to head over roto? No matter!

To be fair if I had chosen roto with the team I had in the goon money league I probably wouldn't have won any money at all, instead of the second place prize that I'm going to get.
