Did you put in a bid for Archie? I figured 7337 would wipe everyone out cuz if ur not going 4 babe/stud then you wanna be able to buy players off the teams going 4 them.
I was right.
No, I didn't have enough to bid for him or Russell when he comes up. For me, it is about the value of the dollar and how much I want to gamble vs what I would have to sacrifice if I spent a large portion of my funds.
This year I drafted alot of young guys and spent money on proven players. I thought that would be the best choice with all the money going around for the Bryant sweepstakes.
Syndaargard was on my draft list. You are just lucky I didn't have a pick after the 1st round until the 5th.
I am pretty happy with Tomaz 3B and Heaney SP. Also have several young SS that I drafted hoping one would break out for me like Harrison SS did last year.
Another factor is you can only keep 12 players in our keeper league and you better know your prospects is going to be good or else because you are using a slot for him that could be used on a star player. Risk vs. Reward
It's supposed to be a 16 keeper league but ppl bitched about it and whined us down to 12. They don't wanna stop there either as they'd love to get us down to 8, and I like to think me talking so much shit to them as I was drafting Strasbourg bumgarner kimbrel and helluckson in 2011's draft and despite a well-publicized 3yr plan to not even try and win as opposed to collecting assets so in year 4 I flip the switch in them and "unleash a juggernaught on the league that rains hellfire upon them for years to come all thanks to you guys being dumb enough to give me 16 keepers" helped that choice along cuz without even trying I made the league semis in year 2 with no offense except for trout and migcab.
So yeah I wasn't able to keep iwakuma, cishek, McGee, Kemp, Crawford, or others I woulda kept if I had 16. Hell I was gonna keep darvish over pineda til THANK GOD he got hurt right away so I didn't end up fucked if pineda pitches all year. Once I decided to keep Wong/whoke-infield-outside-C over Kemp, man the last decision after darvish was pineda or boxberger. God bless your soul to let me get boxberger back cuz its like 13 keepers!
Btw man u can't be all UR LUCKY I DIDNT GAVE A PICK cuz you obviously traded those picks to get assets to get you to the league championship. You made the right move cuz you had me dead to rights at 9-17 going into the final day if the season and remember my 2nd TLDR concession speech of the playoffs? Yep. You just lacked TWTW and came across the wrong team (me on a revenge kick. Buckeyheads 24-4'd me in the 2012 semis, nas with the trout trade and keeper reduction, and finally you for being the last team to beat me during the extended ASB week)
Cuz holy shit dude I hate to keep bringing it up but I had no business winning that league. You beat me and I didn't even get lucky... I got blesses by god who evidently decides it was my turn to win tg league cuz I can't explain what happened other rhsn the far and away greatest championship/playoffs run of all time. I'll never top that.
Can we keep 16 now? That'd be the sheeeit. And get dude you gotta get in my roto league next year cuz we've got 8 keepers now and wanna do 10 next year. Chus has babe Bryant and syndergaard there tho

If nothing else, it has been fun to see who can trade the most players for the highest amount of cash. Archie could end up being the best of all of them.
