You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



So I drafted the Atlanta Barves. My record looks accurate, because I was drafting basically halfway blind. I've since purchased OOTP15, and learned that the game hates basically everyone I took a flyer on. Furthermore, I'm starting something like 5 rookies that have like a week combined of major league experience. But I have Miggy so maybe everything will go okay.


EDIT: Wait a second, apparently the commissioner's own team is going to win 106 games, 10 more than the next highest team. I sense treachery is afoot.

Uh, what happened to miggy? Him not being on any of the NL batting leaderboards surprised me.

Sample size happened.

Damnit I drafted him 3rd overall to hit dingers not to be laid low by silly things like sample size

IcePhoenix, you mind posting my hitting stats? I need to know if I should just completely bench Baez.

jesus goddamn christ. Not one player hitting .300?

Okay, time to trade off all my decent players for prospects. Miggy's on the auction block, so's Ellsburry and anyone in my rotation/bullpen you'd want. Just make a halfway reasonable offer in the thread and I'd probably take it. Now, I'd bench Baez except that Tejada isn't actually hitting any better. For the moment

Miggy moves to 3B
Duda moves to 1B
McLouth moves to RF.

Lineup should be

Jacoby
Miggy
Hamilton
Duda
McLouth
Salty
Baez
Lindsey

This isn't a multi year league so I'm not really going to let you trade miggy for prospects

Hm. Okay. Can I trade him for less good players and prospects, or is it basically a case where Miggy's untradeable because of league balance/possible collusion reasons?

It's probably the latter, unfortunately. Like, you'd really need to get another elite-ish player back for it to work out, otherwise it's not really fair to the rest of the league.

Fair enough then.

Rotation/Bullpen and Ellsbury are still on the board though, for anyone looking for some pitching or a CF.

Who the hell is Taylor Lindsey and how did he get on the Braves?

Taylor Lindsey is what happens when you wait like 20 rounds to grab a starting 2B.

Goddamn my draft went poorly. I started like 4 high ceiling rookies, and only one was above average.

Thank god for Taylor Lindsey.
