IanRees Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I made the most moves in the VC Fantasy Hockey league by far and came in 2nd in regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Looking for a second opinion for a non-VC league. I've been offered Jeff Samardzija for Shin-Soo Choo. I've got pretty good depth at OF and would still field: Andrew McCutchen Justin Upton Jay Bruce Carl Crawford Chris Davis SP isn't deep for me, I'm thinking it's a solid win-win. Any thoughts? It's a head to head points league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Samardzija seems like he's gonna have a solid year. Being an Indians fan, I wouldn't trust Choo's durability. If you are short in pitching, I'd prob go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 wait, would you be getting samardzija and giving up choo? yes. absolutely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Smarjzada is a cub, so he's bound to have one awesome year of pitching before mediocrity sets in. it might be a good trade, but what are the other SP that opponent has that you could counter-offer Choo for? there might be a slightly better option... they could be trying to sell high on smarjzaadatrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I suspect they are trying to sell a bit high. He has Matt Cain, Alexi Ogando, Cliff Lee, Peavy, Anibal Sanchez and Matt Moore. Of the bunch Cain and Lee probably aren't going to be a straight swap. So, Smardy vs. Sanchez, Moore and Ogando. Nevermind, he traded Smard for Carlos Beltran and Norichika Aoki.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 he got Beltan AND Aoki for Smarz?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yup. And what is sort of crazy is the dude that traded the bats has a pretty shaky line-up already. He is going all-in on pitching I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 transactions not taking place till the next day is weaaaaaak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 transactions not taking place till the next day is weaaaaaak. This is horrible for a baseball league. The best system is daily transactions with a short waiver period (so that half the desirable dudes aren't on waivers all the time because they are getting picked up to fill in for a day, especially the catchers). I believe we have cut our waivers down to 1 day. Using all your games is a big advantage over dudes that don't. Must for money leagues (or at least come close, it is hard to do sometimes).

thebiglebowski Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It doesn't matter too much for hoops because there are enough off days to catch up where you fall behind. And everyone knows how football works. I've never done hockey. Assuming it is similar to hoops though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just dropped Beckett for Zito. What year is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I thought you were talking bout our league, was gonna say I have Beckett and just picked up Zito.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Haha. Oh man. If you could combine them, you'd have a solid 4th starter. I haven't made too many moves in our league yet. I've got some young dudes and a few flukey little injuries. I'm gonna give it a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I only added Zito cause Weaver went on DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah, I have Weaver in the league I dropped Beckett in. So weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 so i forgot I was in a 12-team ESPN league, draft was monday night (saw toots and the maytals instead)... anyone who thought I drafted DL-heavy in our league, yikes for my espn team... A-Ram Jeter McCann Harrison (TX SP) Motte Billingsley the league is so big that there are literally no every-day options for SS for me to pick up, and my entire roster of pitching is in disaster mode McCarthey, Beckett, Wilson, Burnett, NOVA (fml), Cahill, Hughes, Soriano (WASH), Pestano (???????), Collmenter. I picked up Josh Buck because my only catcher, McCann is out for whoknows how long. my offense is fine, but good god my pitching may be pure awful. any suggetions on some gems that might be out there as a 4/5th SP for anyone?

BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 It's pretty grim this year man. Couple dudes available in my league that are streamable based on match-ups: Chacin, Teheran, Vargas, Norris? Maybe take a chance on someone like McCarthy to turn it around since he is getting dumped in leagues like crazy. You might just sit on a couple prospects that are likely to get called up and try and weather the storm for now. Cole, Hultzen, Erlin and the like. Lots of those dudes owned in like 2% of leagues or less, so you could wait for the call up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
