Putting another player on the block, and this ones the surging emerging Khris Davis. He has produced almost as much the past couple weeks as George Springer.

Anyones interested in Khris Davis, Torii Hunter, or Michael Cuddyer, I need strong starting pitchers.

I am willing to put Jose Abreu or Victor Martinez on the block.

I am looking for a TOP TIER pitcher

Jose Abreu is ranked 34 overall with a stat line currently that is 29 runs, 15 home runs, 42 rbis, .260 avg (remember Abreu has not played for the last two weeks so his numbers are skewed)

Victor Martinez is ranked 23 overall with a stat line that is currently 25 runs, 13 home runs, 34 rbis, 2 sb, .335 avg

I got Kyle Lohse back from Adam by giving him David Robertson.

whew! Exhausting weekend and it took alot of work to convert these last 2 trades with Adam. Brutal landscape right now trying to find starters.

Well Im getting slaughtered in my pitching categories again, and will have to keep pat with my starters till Ive respectable rankings in the pitching categories.

Yoda
06-14-14, 12:59 PM
Heh, I traded Polanco and that very night he gets 5 hits, including the game winning homer.

Always sort of win-win and lose-lose when you trade away a guy on your own team. If he kills, you regret the trade, but at least you get the comfort of him performing well for your team. And vice-versa if he doesn't.

But man, that outfield...Cutch, Polanco, and Marte. I'm so excited to watch these guys play together for years to come.

TONGO
06-14-14, 01:15 PM
Alex Cobb fixed his delivery problem and the results were fantastic. Of course Im thrilled Polanco emerged already, and desperately need him. Funny how Rios and Rizzo get the littlest mention in these exchanges, and youre spot on when you say neither of us really "lose" since we can enjoy the success theyll bring our real teams. If Price can get his era back on track too then the Rays are back!

Yeah, and that outfield is just silly. :laugh:

Yoda
06-14-14, 01:24 PM
Yeah, I said this to you already while we were talking about this, but Rizzo is just stupidly undervalued by most people. He'd been underperforming his peripherals for, like, over a year, so I was thrilled to draft him so late, and I'm not the least bit surprised that he's turned into a 30-homer threat. Enjoy. :)

Clayton Kershaw is now OFF the trading block. I think it was half a day he was on it.

I am hereby announcing that I have no such thing as a "Trading Block." All players are potentially available based on the strength of any offer at any time. They do not become more or less available based on any other concern than whether or not a given trade is likely to increase my chances of winning.

He will be cut in 3 days maximum

Why dont you go work on your team Dustin. You put all your energy into commentary about me, and do random stuff that doesnt further your team any just to make it look like youve been an "involved" owner in the leagues each year.

I got Martinez because of this...

"Tigers outfielder J.D. Martinez completely overhauled his swing during the offseason, according to FoxSports.com. Martinez watched video of both Miguel Cabrera and Ryan Braun, and attempted to take things from their swings. He worked with a personal hitting coach for three weeks, and then tested his new approach in Venezuela. "If you watch video of me in the past, it’s the complete opposite — it’s that extreme," Martinez said. "It’s kind of like I reinvented myself."
Martinez is hitting .300/.333/.570 over 100 at-bats."

http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasybaseball/players/playerpage/1795780/jd-martinez

Dustin I try and make this more fun for everyone. I dont try and be a funsuck to anyone, not even you. So again, cause Ive asked you publicly and in pm before, please show the same respect.

That's a win win trade in my opinion.

Yoda
06-21-14, 04:41 PM
Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. I didn't particularly want to trade Encarnacion, who's probably having a career year, but when the value's roughly equal and the other side so obviously addresses your category needs, I think you've gotta do it.

A big part of it, too, is trusting that my offense can continue to outpace the league even with that downgrade. We shall see.

Made Catcher inquiries to a few owners tonight. George Springer may be packing his bags.

When Encarnacion comes to Tongo land, I'll be offering a blockbuster 3 for 3 deal to him.

TONGO
06-22-14, 11:29 PM
Theres no fit for our rosters Rauld. We cant even agree on a trade for Wil Myers and you want to do a 3 for 3?! The only one Id be interested in is Tulo, and I wont trade Reyes away, so thats out. Ok?

rauldc14
06-22-14, 11:36 PM
Tulowitzki was included but since there's no fit then I won't offer. Though I'm not sure how their is no fit when any team can clearly have a fit with any other.

TONGO
06-22-14, 11:56 PM
No, I explained to you in an earlier post you dont have speed to make up for a loss Id take. Im sure you were interested in Gomez & Reyes. Thats why theres no fit.

He was my white whale, but if Myers does or doesnt perform it wont cost my offense any as Im stacked. I can get another closer in time, Cishek isnt that much of a difference maker player for point totals. Myers, if he comes back hot, can be.

TONGO
06-23-14, 12:39 PM
Using that logic you could trade anyone for anyone.

No it doesnt. Also you said earlier that any team can find a deal with any team, and thats not true either. If both teams have the same strengths and needs, or one just doesnt have what the other needs, then its not a fit.

I can cough up a closer for a hot bat, I did it with Springer giving Mikey Uehara. Closers are like players that specialize in stolen bases, help you in one category alot, and a little in the others. Very expendable in my eyes for a true 4 or 5 category player.

rauldc14
06-23-14, 12:42 PM
It is true. There's fits for every team, if the price is right. Saying that you won't trade Gomez away is all well and good, but if the right deal came along regardless of need you would consider it.

Yoda
06-23-14, 12:42 PM
Whereas Wil Myers specializes in not currently playing baseball. ;D

rauldc14
06-23-14, 12:44 PM
I think we all know that Wil Myers is more talented than Cishek, but at this point, someone playing is far more valuable than someone who isn't.

TONGO
06-23-14, 12:52 PM
I got Kershaw when he was on the mend and paid ALOT less than if he was playing, and I paid alot less for Myers than I normally would have had to. If Myers comes back mediocre then I lose out, but not by as much with a lower price tag paid.

Frightened Inmate No. 2
06-25-14, 03:23 PM
eh, he's been consistently solid for most of the year at least, which is more than i can say for a lot of my hot/cold team, and he seems to have heated up a bit in the last two weeks. zimmerman hasn't done much at all since he came back off of injury, except for his home run last night, and i have zero use for chapman at this point. maybe i could have asked for more, but kemp will do.

http://blog.steelcitybuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Gregory_Polanco_2014.jpg

What a week of trading! The top of all our team pages started looking like a roadside billboard. I finalized my last* trade this morning with Patrick giving him Neil Walker & Gregory Polanco for Brian Dozier. T'was necessary for me as I feel Dozier, with a lil help from K Davis & Dickerson, can maintain Polancos SB pace, and already is displaying the power Polanco promises to have.

I hope and think Polanco will work out for Pat, and he deserves it. I respect an owner making moves, and doing deals to improve their team. I think Polancos only gonna get better, and Neil Walker is so on pace for a career year to where he wont even let an appendectomy keep him out. If thats not a gauge of focus and determination for success going forward, I dont know what is.

For me I maximized my offensive starting lineup with as much power as I could muster, shaving off Springer (iffy avg. & hot n cold) & Polanco whose solid, but wont get as many homers going forward than anyone in my OF or UT. I feel CJ Cron & JD Martinez will outpace both of those guys going forward in the HR dept, and not hurt my avg. Gomez, Dickerson, and K Davis make up my outfield.

* "last" meaning the last one I did, not the last one Ill ever do.

TONGO
06-28-14, 09:27 AM
Well the Brian Dozier trade didnt go thru because the Seals would be over their max roster allowance. This happened in a trade with me and Dex last year as I didnt drop someone the night before too.

Yes Ill still go thru with the trade though now Im loathe too :(

Yoda
06-28-14, 02:47 PM
FYI, both owners emailed me about the Dozier/Walker/Polanco deal, so I went ahead and put it through after roster space was cleared up. This is SOP and we've done it a few times in the past when both owners consented, but as always I want it to be as transparent as possible.

Carry on. :)

TONGO
06-28-14, 04:06 PM
No Rauld Im not gonna trade away Edwin Encarnacion for Josh Donaldson & Ben Zobrist.

06-30-14, 12:02 AM
Awesome! Finalized a trade with Tim giving him Brian Dozier (he didnt even unpack!) & Mark Melancon (he lasted a week, but who cares I got Casilla) for Dee Gordon. Bayum! Between Flash Gordon, Jose Reyes, and Gregory Polanco I have 0 worries in SB category, and my Runs should flourish.

Since Kolten Wong is hotter than a firecracker, and Doziers coming around now too, I decided to send a couple offers out Mikeys way.

Kolten Wong & Khris Davis for Torii Hunter. I never should have dropped him :blush: Or...

Kolten Wong & Jeff Locke for Jesse Hahn, though I do worry the Padres can continue their even minimal run support requirement.

If he says yes to either Ill be done trading till the all-star break :)

Edit in - Decided on a 3 for 1 offering Khris Davis, Rubby De La Rosa, and Kolten Wong for Torii Hunter.

Yoda
07-11-14, 12:58 PM
Kolten Wong & Khris Davis for Torii Hunter. I never should have dropped him :blush:
Tim noticed earlier that Hunter was literally the only player on your team from your draft (though not for lack of trying, since you had him on the trading block like eight times). When you dropped him you achieved total roster turnover.

Yeah. Yay me. Its all in to make my crew better, but its an ugly display.

Taking away the embarrassment aspect, now my roster is better than ever.

C d'Arnaud. He now looks to be making good this year in the catcher department. Since coming back 2 weeks ago hes in the top 4 of catchers, has power.

1B Jose Abreu. He will be the #1 overall in 2015 draft. Thats called a prediction-statement.

2B Dozier. Hes coming around from a lower back injury a month ago.

3B Encarnacion. He will go high in first round next year.

SS Reyes. Please stay healthy!

OF Polanco. Cutch Jr

OF JD Martinez. Cabrera Jr

OF Springer. Hits homers at same pace as Encarnacion, Cruz, and Mesoraco.

My pitchings pretty much sorted. I honestly feel I have a shot at winning it all still (, but I think the Rays do too, so theres that.)

I guess I wont be holding onto Wong since Dozier woke up with 2 dingers yesterday.

Looking for strong home run power with runs, rbi's, and avg too.

Yoda
07-14-14, 12:52 PM
Wong hits a few homers, he's "emerging" and you don't need Dozier. Dozier hits 2 homers, so now he's "woken up" and you do need him. What does it all have in common?

Well, I just sent an offer to Adam which I turned down from him a few days ago. Polanco for Granderson. Grandy is legit, he may not hit 40 homers, but hes outperformed Polanco this past month and going into the break. They also have him batting leadoff like Polanco does for Pittsburgh.

07-26-14, 03:47 PM
Alright, I keep thinking my team is going to turn it around but it keeps hovering at around 8th place. I'm last by a lot in wins, but need more offense, so I offered my pitching staff's crown jewel, David Price, to Quickie Marte for Cargo. It seems pretty even to me, even though Cargo is such an injury risk and Price has been so good this year. I need Cargo to return to form to make it worthwhile.

No. I'm so far behind in wins that I can't reasonably expect to make up ground there, so I need to focus on offense. Cargo is a player who has a track record of being a top-10 type of offensive player, so I think it's worth the risk.

Noooooooooo! I wanted Price! :bawling: Sigh.


Though I do think you will make out well on that trade Scott, I dont think Adam will accept.

He hasn't accepted yet! If he turns me down, we'll see if we can work something out. Do you think the Rays are going to hold on to him? They're creeping up in the standings.

Yeah I misread your post then saw the trade wasnt finalized so then changed my post.

Honestly, I think they might keep him. His production isnt the issue as much as does the club think they still have a shot at the playoffs. Weve been dominant the past 2-3 weeks, and our road records fantastic too. Things were just so awful for us the start of the season that it was an anomaly. and I think the tide now is moving that hard to the good.

I think the Rays are being smart, to see if they're overwhelmed by an offer for Zobrist or Price. If they're not, they'll keep them, but if they can get a lopsided deal, then they'll cash in. They are playing well though.

Theyre looking for what they got for Shields & Wade Davis, and thats a couple blue chippers like Jake Odorizzi and Wil Myers. Thats just the only way they operate so they can survive. Odorizzis looking dominant more than not now, and I feel Myers will do alot better in 2015. Shields is now declining, but Wades a great RP.

Well that should do it (yeah yeah yeah, ha ha ha) but seriously, with this trade I finalized with Yoda reacquiring Alex Cobb plus getting Archer from Pat, Im going all-in with my team going forward. Wasnt gonna do these trades even but felt I should to have more fun with my team to close out the season. The Rays have a 10 game win streak, and half my starting pitchers are Rays (Cobb, Archer, Odor, plus McGee too).

Ok not quite done after all, just sent an offer to Rauld - Dozier for Zobrist.

That's a pretty huge homer offer.

Obviously, I'm not a fan of homer deals in general, but I think they get especially suspect near the end of the year, from teams that might judge themselves to be out of contention.

Hm! Well I canceled it, and I wont say there might not be a grain of truth to that, be it subconscious or otherwise.

Zobrist has been doing incredible since coming off the DL and has outperformed Dozier since. Not saying Bens upside is better than Doziers, but it might be a fair trade since Doziers cold right now. Eh? Yes?

Sounds to me like you're starting with the premise that you want another Ray and then working backward to find a justification for it.

Mm, no not quite, though Im enthusiastic to get Zobrist than say another player.

Past 30 days Dozier ranked 212, Zobrist 35
Past 14 days Dozier ranked 945, Zobrist 12
Past 7 days Dozier ranked 1400, Zobrist 7

Plus before season start Zobrist was pre-ranked by Yahoo 89th, and Dozier was 219.

I think its fair since Zobrist is playing like he was projected to.

Why dont we have our FBB trade deadline be the same as MLBs? I think its within 2 weeks anyway, but it might be more cool, for lack of a better word, to have it the same. Is there some learned FBB reason for it?

Thought I'd send an offer Dustin/Raulds way, Longoria & Alexei for Donaldson & Zobrist.

Hey Dustin if youd respond to the PM or accept/reject the deal id appreciate it.

It's been five hours, all of which have been during normal work hours. And yes, I know he's been online, but lots of people check the site throughout the day without reading every new post.

For the record, I see lots of trade offers on my iPad/phone, but it's awkward to check stats and make those decisions until I get back to my desktop.

10 hours is long enough, so offer cancelled.

Trade deadline is coming up. I am willing to move Cobb or Odorizzi with a offensive player to get an even better offensive player.

Not sure why Yahoo doesn't have a special notice up about it, but the trade deadline is August 17th, IE: three days from now.
