........by virtually slapping me on the back over my latest trade, please.
HDID???
This league counts a fair few from this forum as partcipants I think, so it'll be good to hear from many of you, especially those who made offers for the man in question!
I just traded away Justin Verlander for Kris Bryant and Kole Calhoun.
If you look at my roster, I think it's clear why I did the trade - aging is an understatement, especially where batting is concerned. Batting was also with little to no depth. I think I adressed that and look in better position for the next few years than pre trade. I was a little amazed at the lack of offers for Verlander actually, but this league values prospects/young players more than any other (it's Dynasty of course). That said, I am more of a play for now type guy, and have done quite well in my first two years of this league which has been going some time. That attitude I am slowly changing though, out of necessity!
c - M Montero
1b - A Dunn, D Ruf, D Brown (a prospect!)
2b - M Carpenter, A Guerrero, J Rutledge
3b - A Ramirez, J Donaldson, K Bryant (my only other decent prospect!)
ss - I Desmond
of - A Rios, S Victorino, C Quentin, K Calhoun
we have 2 Util spots.
sp - Y Darvish, J Masterson, W Miley, S Kazmir, S Baker, J Niese, M Gonzales (An apparently sub par prospect these days)
rp - G Holland, E Frieri, G Balfour, S Cishek, L Hawkins, L Hochevar, R Madson.
I finished 2nd in this league last year (won it the year before) with Verlander having a down year and have added Masterson this year.
Alora, what thinks the Pen??
