Jongkers Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Good thing I have him in other two leagues. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
bubuy Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) if i was in those 2 leagues, you would NEVER have gotten him.. not even his shadow nor the dust in the tracks when i pick him up.. dh, right now it looks like a nice deal, but 5-7 years down the line, we'll never know considering the players that were involved in the deal are all relatively young.. back in april this was just a gamble.. im pretty sure he wont keep this up the whole season.. no way.. plus i lost a capable 3B in another trade to make this deal happen.. what the f was i thinking putting my hopes on an injury-prone 3B as my long term plan..

Jongkers Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Ampness! Five to seven years down the line, here's the line of the players that I took in that deal-- Lidge: career 2.25 ERA, 1.10 WHIP with 350 Saves; Pence: .320 AVE with an annual 120/20/100/25 output. I wish! :thumbsupsmiley: Edited June 3, 2008 by Jongkers Quote Link to comment
gift_of_game Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 hey, that's as good a gamble anyone can make. makes me wonder though if you're thinking of selling high eventually... Quote Link to comment
bubuy Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) in the annual league, maybe. i dont know how high the bid would be though.. i havent tested the market in my other 3 leagues that i have him (i have him in all 5 leagues that im in).. in one league i offered manny r, bruce, longoria for pujols.. i dont know if the other owner would bite.. hopefully this bruuuuuuuce mania would make him think about it.. justin upton is sitting on the FA in that league and my 1B is giambi and helton :thumbsdownsmiley: Edited June 3, 2008 by bubuy Quote Link to comment
gift_of_game Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 well, bro, he's picking up accolades like a well-traveled woman. buster olney even went as far as calling him "the future of baseball". and with that bat speed, there's no doubt that he's gonna hit his fair share. Quote Link to comment

bubuy Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 partial answer to my bruce's market price question Jay Bruce just may be the new Ryan Braun, so it was only fitting that while Bruce was setting the league on fire in his first week with Cincinnati, Braun was making sure everyone knew that he's hardly yesterday's news – he's hitting .455 with two home runs in 22 at bats since Bruce's call up. But there's nothing quite as alluring in fantasy like a "New" tag – see Cueto, Kershaw, Scherzer, et al. So it made me wonder if anyone playing in a Yahoo! league was already so caught up in the Bruce buzz that they were willing to deal Braun for Bruce. A look at Bruce's latest trades didn't show any straight up arrangements, but there was an owner who was willing to deal Braun and Aaron Laffey for Joey Votto, Mark Reynolds and Bruce, which I'd argue is close. Bruce, in one-for-one deals this past week, has returned a Hanley Ramirez, Jonathan Papelbon, Nate McLouth and Cole Hamels (Bruce was packaged with non-factor Jeremy Guthrie for Hamels). amazing isnt it.. han-ram was basically the #2 overall pick, papelbon is 1st to 3rd among relievers to be drafted, hamels maybe 7th rounder at worst? braun was a first rounder too in perhaps 95% of leagues..

agentjackbauer Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Even more amazing is that McLouth is the 5th-ranked player in Yahoo leagues. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

kingsville Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) If he's indeed the new Ryan Braun, it would be shocking to know what'll be his value next year! Kung ginawa nating totoo ito, mangungulelat ang team ni ajb. Makakarami tayo ng free passes and stolen bases! Edited June 3, 2008 by kingsville Quote Link to comment
agentjackbauer Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 And your post just goes to show that I would be hard-pressed to sell high on McLouth because everyone knows I'd be selling high. In any case, considering his average draft position, he has been the fantasy bargain of this season... thus far. :hypocritesmiley: Fingers crossed. :zorro: which means you should sell high Quote Link to comment
gift_of_game Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 kainggit naman yung inuulan ng SB's. kami, kailangan pang umasa kay Fielder na maka-isa. :upside: Quote Link to comment
agentjackbauer Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) GoG, Trade tayo. Tutal, di rin naman ako makapasok sa top 6, eh di enjoy na lang the season by making trades, he he. Contreras and Loney for Mark Teixeira? Edited June 3, 2008 by agentjackbauer Quote Link to comment
