You can try to win the league by a margin greater than the one I won by 2 years ago ...

[Xiomera]

Reminder: The trade deadline is August 26th.

And how much did you win by?

I won by 26 points over Jughead in 2010.

BF won by 19 points over D in 2011.

It's a little strange how wide the margin was both of those years. I don't think that's commonplace for Roto.

I'm up 22.5 now and I don't see that widening anymore so your record is safe for sure.

Welcome back, Roy Halladay!

EDIT: And Sabathia is on the DL ... ************

[Xiomera]

My trade block with 12 days before the trade deadline:

Alex Rios (#17 overall fantasy player in our league this season)
Jim Johnson (30 saves, 3.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP)
Matt Garza
Ryan Cook (12 saves in 2 months as closer, 2.72 ERA, 1.05 WHIP)
Wil Myers (top prospect not in the majors)
Ian Kennedy

I will also trade Ellsbury, Justin Upton, Sabathia, Kinsler, Halladay and MAYBE Bautista for a comparable stud at another position.

[bearsfan_51]

I will also trade everyone I'm not keeping.

[D-Unit]

I can see Xio making a trade, but I doubt BF will.

[bearsfan_51]

I was just giving Xio a hard time for offering guys he has no interest in keeping anyway.

But, no, I seem to have a hard time making a trade in this league.

How is that possibly true? Go count the players you think I will keep. 2-3 of the ones I listed at the top will absolutely be kept. The ones at the bottom are all studs I'm willing to move to get some fresh names on next year's team.

I also happen to be in 2nd/3rd place depending on the day. Of course I'm going to have more keeper-worthy players than some teams farther down the standings.

Mind your business.

[bearsfan_51]

Your business is my business.

I'm not sure who I'm going to keep out of the following, so I'm open to any offers:

-Dan Haren
-Jeremy Hellickson
-BJ Upton
-Michael Cuddyer
-Adam Dunn
-Ernesto Frieri
-JJ Putz
-Casey Janssen
-Nick Swisher

There are other guys I'm not keeping, but those are the ones I figure could make decent keepers. I need to keep four of them.

[Giantsfan1080]

Is everyone really giving up on this year?

[bearsfan_51]

I'm still setting my lineup, but it would take a pretty big turnaround at this point.

Set my lineup daily. Still want to make a trade.

But I see a couple people have quit and I will take necessary action at the end of the year.

I have not. Picked up a couple of gem pitching performances on the waiver wire.

I know you're active.

It's really more routine to me than anything else. First thing I do every morning at work is set my lineup. Takes 2 minutes. Aiming for 4th place. So I can grab that bronze after GF gets caught for giving his team steroids. It's the only logical explanation for his success.

That's inevitable, yes. It's like a USC or Ohio State national championship — You just know it'll be revoked.

[bearsfan_51]

Giantsfan can't have anything nice.

[Giantsfan1080]

I have a winning team built through excellent scouting and phenomenal trades. End of story.

[Xiomera]

Ah, but I have Wil Myers ...
