Trade Darvish for Bogaerts?

[Ken]

worse than shocking. it's irresponsible. somebody would've given the owner something he could use in a league that deep.

I agree - he was just traded for Rasiel Iglesias and Domingo Santana (two separate trades) last week in a mixed league I'm in.

I agree. He's always done this and in the past I told him it was a bad move and that someone would have given something for the player he waived but he just said "Nope, right move." He's very reactionary. He kept Nova for $10 in the same league and waived him after the first start. Just plain dumb. He's not a bad owner but he has zero patience for players. There was only one team that didn't put a bid in for Darvish, and that might have been because I mentioned I was going to put a claim in, I am lower than him in the standings so it was safe for me to tell him.

I need to start making this guy trade offers when a player of his has a bad day.

was just going to say that. your first stop each morning after looking at your own squad is to see who is struggling on his squad and buy low.

you just found yourself a new farm team Buck. congrats.

That can't be a sustainable model for success, has he ever won?

[Ken]

... He's not a bad owner but he has zero patience for players...

That seems like a bad owner.

[BuckyBuckner]

He has won, but not often.

Good point

Darvish was waived in my 12 team NL only league. He was drafted for $25 and at the time a few people thought it was a bargain. I'm happy to wait on my $29 Bumgarner.

Maybe he knows more about the Yu flu than you do.

[BuckyBuckner]

Maybe he knows more about the Yu flu than you do.

If he did then he would have just DL'd him, we have no bench but unlimited DL spots.

Yeah, but I really just wanted an excuse to rhyme "Yu flu you do".

I wouldn't want to stand in the way of that voodoo...
