If Aaron Judge is injured and away from the team, he can't get coronavirus from Sanchez. Looks like my 3rd round pick in TGFBI satellite is safer than I thought :smuggo:

Why not?

Iglesias has been plagued by the long ball but they've stuck with him. The Reds look much improved to me, and yes conceding that bad teams still have save ops, he seems in the right spot to me.

I don't usually pay for saves, but this one seemed good to me.

What are your thoughts on it?

I like Iglesias slightly more than Jimenez. In a league this shallow, Hosmer and Stroman don't do anything for me. It's a wash IMO.

Jimenez to Iglesias is kind of a lateral move but Stroman to Hosmer is a step down, is my take on it.

EDIT: Wait how many teams is it again?

Yeah I mean I agree that it's a wash more than a bad trade, it just seems like trading for the sake of trading to me.

I'm cool with that. If everyone feels like it's a wash and I feel good about it that seems like the essence of a good trade.

So I�m trying to get in on some Yahoo Pro Leagues and neither the credit card info link or Paypal link are working for me. Just getting spinning load circles. Anyone else run into this problem? I�ve tried on multiple devices.

It's borderline impossible to access my Yahoo hockey team, so my guess is it's just Yahoo's servers making GBS threads the bed. Because they are bad at this.

DeepDickPizza: Oct 11, 2012; THREE TIME! THREE TIME!

Yeah, I figured it was on Yahoo's end because they often have server issues, but I hosed around with a bunch of different options and it turned out it was my browser. Weird that Safari didn't want to cooperate on multiple devices, but when I switched to Chrome, I got it through.

My other friend should be in that league later so that'll be 8

Spoeank: Jul 16, 2003; That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

I had just gotten done setting the peace in my home league vis a vis a draft date and now people want to push it back again because of the corona

won't they think of the lowly fantasy baseball commissioners

So my one friend is dragging his rear end. It says we're supposed to draft tonight so if we wanna nix it or push back the draft it's fine with me.

E: and of course now he has joined

Is this the SAS Best League? If so, we going with an 8 team? I'm cool with tonight or a postponement.

Oh I was going to cancel that league if it wasn't 12 people I'll push the draft back a week while we figure it out. I might get a couple guys from work who want to do a league to come in.

MLB already took care of the forget part for us.

being just middle of the road enough in every category to be predicted at 2nd is a surefire way to finish 8th :negative:
