I'm actually getting a little nervous here.

[Giantsfan1080]

Xio you've never had a season like mine. You tallywacker.

In what respect?

[Giantsfan1080]

Dominance.

[bearsfan_51]

You're also benefiting from a whole lot of people not giving a **** since June. It's easy to rack up the score when you're competing against yourself.

Not really. I've passed mostly you and Xio in everything. You 2 still follow.

[Xiomera]

How is your season more dominant than this?

I won by 26 points that year. You're gonna win this one by 18-20 it looks like.


Also, after the trade deadline, there's really nothing that can be done other than to play out the remainder of the season. Of course BF and I aren't gonna be able to make up real ground.

Yeah but in a roto league, the weakest few links can have a huge effect by simply not playing out their categories.

You have a great team, I just don't really think margin of victory matters that much in roto.

[Giantsfan1080]

I'm just getting everyone riled up for fun. It sort of worked.

D, is that you?

[bearsfan_51]

[Giantsfan1080]

There wasn't much discussion going on, understandably.

Haha, I'd say it totally backfired after Xio just made you look dumb when you thought you were so dominant.

Well I am. This league is way more competitive than that year.

That was year 1 of the league. I'd argue that was when everyone cared because everyone had an equal chance from the start of the season.

I think the only thing that's become more "competitive" is the banter in this thread.

GF, you have a championship team. We all agree on that. Move along and wait for your goddamn trophy.

[Xiomera]

Damn you, Kris Medlen — Just when I was convinced I knew who my 12 keepers would be, you had to go and give up just 6 runs in 10 starts (!).

[djp]

C Buster Posey
C Miguel Montero
2B Dustin Pedroia
3B Evan Longoria
OF Andrew McCutchen
OF Josh Willingham
SP Felix Hernandez
SP David Price
SP Matt Moore
SP Matt Harrison
RP Aroldis Chapman
RP Glen Perkins or SP Jarrod Parker

Looking like my group. I think I may have made a mistake moving Cain for Pence. You guys were right.

[Xiomera]

Just a heads up — March 1st will be the target date for locking in keepers.

I'm expecting to keep these 12:

1B Edwin Encarnacion
2B Ian Kinsler
SS Troy Tulowitzki
3B Miguel Cabrera
3B Chase Headley
OF Jason Heyward
OF Jose Bautista
OF Jacoby Ellsbury
SP Jered Weaver
SP Adam Wainwright
SP C.C. Sabathia
SP Kris Medlen

[princefielder28]

My first 11 keepers (probably)

C Victor Martinez
1B Adrian Gonzalez
2B Rickie Weeks
3B Aramis Ramirez
OF Shane Victorino
OF Nick Markakis
SP Yovani Gallardo
SP Tim Lincecum
SP Trevor Bauer
SP Brandon Beachy
SP Tim Hudson

Not sure who #12 will be

[yodapoop]

1. Molina
2. Pujols
3. Phillips
4. Holliday
5. Jeter
6. Beltran
7. Craig
8. Miley
9. Beckett

The other 3 will depend on how the offseason works with closers and injuries, but people I am considering: Ichiro, Wilson, Perez, Benoit, Bailey, and Garcia.
