BBFTG 2007 Season Thread

[JordanDL3891]

with the 1000th reply in this thread, I would like to say that the Astros aren't done tonight!

look at this post below comming in in a few seconds...

[Francoeurstein]

Me and Jordan have successfully completed a trade:

John Thomson for Victor Moreno.

[JordanDL3891]

there you have it folks, thats three in two days! :coffee :hyper:

[JordanDL3891]

Jord, you have a lot of catcher, and I need some catching depth badly.

I'll offer up Junior Spivey and Ramon Castro for JR House and a player to be named later.

sorry, House just got delt in the Tejada trade. I might have done that deal, actualy I was looking at your team, and if you want cota, I am interested in Broadway and a prospect

[Erik Bedard]

Why was Mauer elected as a starter? He only has 176 ABs. I voted Buck.

BTW, which Red Sox (besides Damon) were chosen for the team?

[JordanDL3891]

that will be revealed tomorrow :atthepc

More people voted Mauer than any other catcher, idk y, I voted Quiroz.

[jsmets92]

The Padres activate Jason Schmidt from the DL and option Clay Hensley and JJ Trujillo to Portland

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

No way man, there's no way I'd ever do that deal, if anything, you'd have to be the one to give me the prospect.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

BTW, which Red Sox (besides Damon) were chosen for the team?

I voted for Buck too, he's the most complete catcher in the BBFTG right now.

[JordanDL3891]

Cota is better, I just don't use him at all, so his numbers are low.

Look at his mogul stats steve, he is underated in this, hence why I went out and got him.

Heck YL used him as his starting catcher last year, the team that went on to win BBFTG's 1st world series?

[JordanDL3891]

I got a present for all of you!

enjoy (http://www.geocities.com/jordandl3891/BBFTGteamchart.html) it looks pretty crappy, I made it with HTML today, it's actualy a chart, but I can't get the border up for somereason, idk why I never had this problem before.

[-Kyle-]

Can we all see the mogul stats for everyone? :think:

[-Kyle-]

Jord, you have a lot of catcher, and I need some catching depth badly.

I'll offer up Junior Spivey and Ramon Castro for JR House and a player to be named later.

I can trade you Wilmingham (84 power 72 contact) or Olivio (73/69) for a prospect.

I can trade you Wilmingham (84 power 72 contact) or Olivio (73/69) for a prospect.

How does Willingham for AA speedy guy Tyrell Goodwin sound?

Goodwin has 84 contact, a peak of 82 (which is pretty decent) and 88 speed.

He's hitting .332 for my Harrisburg team, and doesn't figure to be part of my team's future...you could use him as a leadoff man one day.

[-Kyle-]

Accepts Padres deal

note I am on vacation until next thurs...

[JordanDL3891]

I think I am pretty much done with trading unless someone wants this


name looking for
SP Gustavo Chacin backup catcher
C Humberto Cota prospects
RP Dan Wheeler prospect(s)
RP David Weathers prospect(s)I don't want to deal Cota and Wheeler alone

I will do a package deal with Cota, Wheeler, and Weathers for a Starter with an era in the 3 range (from 3.00-3.99) or low 4's (4.00-4.50) with a prospect catcher, outfielder or pitcher

You could also take the whole stack up there for a prospect, decent starter and backup catcher (perfer a young backup catcher)

[TheKingofKings]

SP Jeremy Sowers -- Prospect
RP Scott Sauerbeck -- Anything
RP Danny Graves -- Anything

C Jason Varitek -- Outfielder
SS Ramon Vazquez -- Prospect
OF Jason Dubois -- Anything

I am also looking for a package deal for an established reliever and established outfielder.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Accepts Padres deal

note I am on vacation until next thurs...

Padres?

Anyway, I'm so happy the trading is picking up again, it's good that we aren't doing as crazily as last year, but it's still beter than having only 2 or 3.

[JordanDL3891]

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I don't know where YL is, he hasn't answered my pms after he told me he wanted to sim, so I'll go ahead and sim the next 3.

ALL trades posted in last few days will be taken into effect right away.

If you announce any deals after this post, they will be taken into effect in 3 games from now.

Thanks! :)

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

The Padres activate Jason Schmidt from the DL and option Clay Hensley and JJ Trujillo to Portland

Schmidt will be ready to go in a few days, I activated him and sent down Hensley...but why Trujilo too? Who replaces him?

[JordanDL3891]

Brian Roberts and Carlos Guillen shouldn't be in the minor league system for Baltimore :nosleep:

[jsmets92]

The Padres purchase the contract of Mike Rabelo, Place Mike Matheny on the 15-Day DL and Designate Shawn Estes for assignment (anyone want him?)

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Nationals reinstate outfielder Val Majewski from the 15-day disabled list, outright C Ramon Castro to Columbus (AAA), I'm interested in Estes.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

The Padres purchase the contract of Mike Rabelo, Place Mike Matheny on the 15-Day DL and Designate Shawn Estes for assignment (anyone want him?)

Rabelo doesn't exist.

I called up LaForest for the time being.

I'm going to sim 3 games now, then YL will sim 3 games tonight, putting us at July 27th, 28th, near the deadline.

Astros Place Blake Hawksworth in the Rotation and Parrott on the 25 man roster.

[TheKingofKings]

The Cleveland Indians acquire OF J.D. Drew from the Los Angeles Dodgers for SP Jeremy Sowers.

[JordanDL3891]

how much longer is Jason Hirsh on the DL?

[-Kyle-]

I have 3 somewhat valuable Catchers now:

Hundley,
Wilmingham,
Olivio

I'll take any none outfield prospect at this point if you would like one.

[-Kyle-]

Padres?

Anyway, I'm so happy the trading is picking up again, it's good that we aren't doing as crazily as last year, but it's still beter than having only 2 or 3.

Can we make the Deadline an extended period so we have time to trade. B)

BTW, I am in Queensbury in Lake George and heading up to Niagara falls then to Toronto tommorrow.

[Erik Bedard]

The Red Sox announce that they will not contact any other teams about potential trades, but will listen if an offer is proposed to them.

[Gashouse6]

STL trades Charlton Jimerson, Jose Delgado, and Brandon Yarbrough to HOU for Greg Sain and Danny Klassens.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Hey, just got back from my vacation from the computer today and simming today and realized that YL had a problem and didn't post any scores at all, I guess I'll have to resume that little job starting tomorrow, I will try to post 3 games in the AM and more later on.

Oh and I don't think I can handle the simming duties in September/October, I hope YL will be able to do so then. :)

YL is going to college so I don't think he will be able to

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

YL is going to college so I don't think he will be able to

Well, I know I won't be able to, I'm heading into an important year and I don't feel that I'd be able to keep up with posting scores every night.

How about you Jordan?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Guys, I'm going on vacation for one week from Saturday till next Thursday, and after that, school starts, and I'm not so sure I can be a regular simmer then.

[Yankee Legend]

Is there anybody looking to trade? I seriously need to improve my team and am looking for a big offensive boost. Anybody on my team except Carlos Beltran, Wright and Reyes are tradeable.

[JordanDL3891]

Pedro Martinez? :nosleep:

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Guys, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I need an answer today on what's going to happen.

[TheKingofKings]

C Jason Varitek is available...

He said a big offensive boost. :)

I'm not the only one who has school starting soon - heck I don't even have mogul 08.

What about other members? -Kyle-, baseballstar, EB, ect...

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I know, but I'm not kidding when I say I probably won't be able to post scores, I don't know how you managed to do that Jord...:D

Anyway, baseballstar said he's interested and could begin simming September 1st.

That'd be great dude! (check your pm's soon)

[Erik Bedard]

I just got back from vacation. And the Red Sox just dealt Wily Mo Pena for a PTBNL. See, I wasn't so stupid.

As for simming, I have school starting in a few weeks (and I haven't started my summer work yet :eek:), and I don't have a PC, and I don't have Mogul, so I guess I couldn't do it.

[Erik Bedard]

Steve, send down Hansen and call up.... hmmm... Kyle Jackson.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Hey EB, yeah, don't worry about it, Josh (baseballstar) is going to take over the simming duties, at least till the end of the season and playoffs with an occasional pop-in by me.

You'll have to all alert Josh for any transactions you make, not me anymore. ;)

You guys take care, I'm heading out for my vacation (to the US of A) :D

[Yankee Legend]

I'm gonna be in college soon so I dont think I'll be able to do the simming. To be honest I've been thinking of retiring after this season is over. I haven't made up my mind yet.

[jsmets92]

I will take over the simming. However, I probably won't be able to start until after I go away from 8/24-9/1. Hopefully starting then we can make up a lot of ground.

[-Kyle-]

What about other members? -Kyle-, baseballstar, EB, ect...

Actually, my parents disconnected my internet because I have summer reading and a ton of football. School starts for me on next tues. I havent been on for four days...I can only get on when my parents arent here lol. :nod:

fun stuff

[Erik Bedard]

Ah, summer reading. The most diabolical thing school ever invented. :evil

I would have football as well, but I tore my rotator cuff (partially). :(

[JordanDL3891]

(BS = box score heh...)

it's still messed up so I will try to re sim it this week and see what I can do.

[-Kyle-]

Your so lucky, I have a week of double sessions (full pads 8-5 with hitting and conditioning) before school starts.


*sniff* I wasn't invited to share my infinite knoweledge of bbftg team managing on that new thread? oh well your loss :laugh well not really

[JordanDL3891]

[Erik Bedard]

I guess Reed can take the final bench spot that Mogul says Kyler Burke can't have.

[jsmets92]

I just got home from the Mets game. Mota blew another one :mad:

Anyway, Mogul came and I am installing on my computer now. I don't know if I'll get to posting anything tonight or not, but I will definetly post some tomorrow before I go away on Friday. I'll edit the standings so new GMs can pick their teams

Edit-I revised the lineups but i'm exhausted so i'm gonna watch Joba pitch and then go to bed. I'll post tomorrow

[jsmets92]

I guess Reed can take the final bench spot that Mogul says Kyler Burke can't have.

Kyle Jackson is not in mogul either.

Also, tell your brother that Jeff Conine is not in Mogul. I replaced him w/ JR House for the time being

Against righties it's Vento, Bruntlett, Spann, Bard, and Bailey. Against lefties it's LaRoche, Ellsbury, Vento, Bard, and Bailey.

[JordanDL3891]

If it wasn't for aquiring gagne, I would not have won that game, as the team would not have pulled Gomez, but if they didnt the run would not have scored. Thanks to my 1-2 punch of Gagne-Lidge for making the game like always aginst the astros, a 7 inning game :laugh

[jsmets92]

I have posted 4 of the 6 games I simmed. I'll do the other two later. That will leave us on July 31 in BBFTG so pending Wilk's approval, we will have the trade deadline be August 31 in real life since I get back september 1st. All teams have until then to make deals

Standings updated thru all six

I'm going away tomorrow, but I have no use for Jeff Kent and would like to deal him by the deadline. If anyone has interest pm me a reasonable offer by around noon tomorrow and i will decide if i like the offers

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I've updated the ratings and changed something to make it more accurate, instead of counting the posts that don't include Jordan's and mine and calculating the percentage on the total number of posts, I've decided to only count mine since I am the commish and technically (literally, I would consider a few staff-like members, but I don't want to cause any "oh, he's Steve's favourite" type of feuds), there are no "staff" members.

Behold:

Previous rating system results

2005 BBFOTG- 7.2
2006 BBFTG- 6.9
2007 BBFTG- 4.1 (2 months ago)

Current rating system results:

2005 BBFOTG- 7.2
2006 BBFTG- 8.2
2007 BBFTG- 7.3


2005: 2901-824= 2077
2077x100/2901= 7.2

2006: 2383-441= 1942
1942x100/2382= 8.2

2007: 1101-299= 802

Nationals designate RHP Victor Santos for assignment, recall RHP Shawn Estes from Columbus (AAA).

Nationals might have a deal in place with a rival AL team, so get your offers in, if you like, he's 4-2 with a 4.57 ERA.

I'll give you Victor Santos for Tom Glavine

Santos is making $3.05 million this season, and Glavine is making $3.85, sounds about good.

Have any interest in Marlon Byrd?

Before going on a slump, Byrd was hitting .365 in over 200 and so at-bats, he's currently around .330 and has 93 speed.

I'd be willing to deal him along with Santos for Glavine and a power hitter, Byrd is valuable, a good leadoff man, something you need...still keen on moving Carlos Delgado?

I'm not too sure about dealing Delgado to a division rival. I'll just go with glavine for santos strait.

If it involves me getting a 2b or pitching prospect, yes. :p
Ray Durham (very good contact from second base), Jim Edmonds (on pace for more than 40 homeruns), and Joe Borowski has a 3.06 era as a reliever.

Just wanted everyone to know that there is a chance i won't be home until the second. I think the trade deadline should still be the 31st though

[Erik Bedard]

The Red Sox would like to make at least one trade before the break, to show that they still can. Anybody want Kason Gabbard? (actually, he could be traded after the deadline without passing waivers -- he's not on my 40-man)

your right about that! He's not just on your 40-man, but he isn't even in the mogul file! :laugh

[JordanDL3891]

steve, I believe a-rods contract is 25 mil not 13 mil a year.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

steve, I belive a-rods contract is 25 mil not 13 mil a year.

Yes, I know, but I'm responsible for 13 million.

[JordanDL3891]

Yes, I know, but I'm responsible for 13 million.

yankees paying the rest? (Don't tell me rangers.. - if you do, then a-rod has a player opt after this season.) :)

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

yankees paying the rest? (Don't tell me rangers.. - if you do, then a-rod has a player opt after this season.) :)

Don't think so, it's the Yankees, we're in the BBFTG, not in the MLB here. :)

*I know you wanna steal A-Rod away from me* :D

[JordanDL3891]

we're in the BBFTG, not in the MLB here. :)

Thats what I would have said if you said Texas, but it is harder to stand up to a commish, so I said it right away :laugh


speaking of stealing a-rod from you, if I got him, would I be paying 13mil? because if so, I might be more interested in an offseason deal than I was before. From toying with the idea to actualy maybe wanting to do the deal.

[jsmets92]

I'm back. I'll try and get as much as I can simmed between now and Thursday, when I start school. After that, I'll probably only be able to do one or two games a day.

[Erik Bedard]

So the trade deadline has passed? If so, I place my entire team on waivers.

[Erik Bedard]

[jsmets92]

They don'r really have anyone young but their best rated prospects, who are all 27 are Jorge DePaula, who is out for the year, Frank Brooks and Matt Smith (Brooks and Smith are leftys)

Do they have Ian Kennedy?

[jsmets92]

If not, he can be traded to anyone, if he is claimed, he can only be traded to the team that claims him.

[Erik Bedard]

Wow. I just scored ten runs, and only two people got extra-base hits, and there were NO HRs.

[Erik Bedard]

The first game after Jordan posts that I'm leading the league in save percentage, T.J. Tucker blows a save.

BTW, if we want to talk about bad deals, the Dye for Bay, Tucker, and Vento one has to be up there. Bay's hitting .320, and before he got hurt was leading the AL in HRs. Tucker has been outstanding as the Red Sox closer, especially compared to last year, where I had twelve different guys in that role. Vento hasn't been that great, but he's started a few games and been somewhat productive off the bench.

Well, I caught up as much as I could before school started. I'll probably do 2-3 games on weekdays and a few more on weekends until we catch up. Hopefully that will be in the next few weeks before playoffs start.

All lineups have been updated after one more game which I didn't get around to posting.

Majewski, in limited duty with the Nationals this season, is hitting .235 with no homers and 7 RBI in only 29 games.
He missed a chunk of the season due to injury, though the Nationals think highly of the young prospect.

Should he falter, look for 1B Larry Broadway to get a crack at the 1B job with Berkman likely moving to the outfield.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Nationals trade RHP Chan Ho Park to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for two players to be named later. (TBA tomorrow)

Nationals acquire non-roster RHP Brian Slocum and outfielder Jason Dubois.

The Nationals assign both to Columbus (AAA).

Val Majewski? Young prospect? He's gotta be what, 26 now?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Val Majewski? Young prospect? He's gotta be what, 26 now?

And the Nationals streak continues, now at 4 games to the Phillies, 4 ONE RUN losses.

I'm at a loss, I really don't know what to do now.

Slocum's been struggling, so I think I'll send him down.

Nats option RHP Brian Slocum to Columbus (AAA) and recall RHP Colin Ballester (have him take Slocum's spot)

Wow, this might the turning point of the year for me (hopefully not!)

Just got swept by the team I had been holding off all year, and they have just taken a 2 game lead in the division. :silent:

If you want, I can send you the recaps, you have no idea how close you were in all 3. one went 11 and the other two, the last out was made w/ a runner in scoring position

BTW Dotel is back

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.

Just email them to me.

And as for Dotel:

Nationals activate RHP Octavio Dotel from the 15-day disabled list and assign RHP Greg Maddux to Columbus (AAA).

Make him the closer, and put Burnett in a setup role.

Maddux doesn't clear waivers? or is that because he already did to get to your team

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

He does, the official term is "assign", evidently, he has a lot more than just 5 years of MLB experience.

I don't know why anyone would want him though, he has an ERA of 5.79 and has been plain bad, same as Glavine, who's in AAA too until they both get their acts together.

Indians put in a claim for Maddux.

Pm me.

I might not need him, but I won't dump him for none.

No trades can be made after August 31st. Period.

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

Sorry guys, I haven't checked in here since I made my last post. And that was about 10 pages ago. I've essentially resigned, but I guess I'll make it official. Starting university makes it tough to have the time to devote to a fantasy league, so I'm calling it quits here.

It was certainly fun, especially when I was active. Thanks alot to Wilk et. al. for running it, it was a blast. Sorry I can't go on.

Happy trails Geoff, it was great to have you around while you were active and we certainly will miss you.

I wish you luck in your schooling and perhaps one day you'll return again?

For now, adios!

Steve:cry: :waving

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

Thanks Steve. It certainly was fun, while I had the time.

[JordanDL3891]

Thanks Steve. It certainly was fun, while I had the time.

bye, you were a great GM, hopefuly we can find another to follow up. Your team has a lot of potential, just a lot of injuries this year.

Hopefuly we will see you next summer :laugh if not, good luck at college.

- Jordan

[JordanDL3891]

It looks like the wild card is going to be between you and me Steve! (which stinks because we both deserve to be in the playoffs :sigh: )

[JordanDL3891]

It's confirmed I never got a PTBNL from Baltimore yet

so EB can you tell your brother that for some reason even though we discussed it I never got it?

it is the PTBNL to go with the Tejada trade:


7/20/07 HOU Aquire SS Miguel Tejada, SP Edison Volquez & PTBNL from BAL for SS Carlos Guillen, RP Joey Eischen, OF Freddy Guzman, Prospect C J.R. House & Prospect OF Jose Flores.

[Erik Bedard]

Will do.

BTW, T.J. Tucker has been struggling lately. Please install Sisco at closer for the remainder of the regular season.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

And I never got my PTBNL from the Cards deal where I got Ivan Rodriguez.

Jord, next time you message Chris (Gashouse), tell him to send me a list of 5 players, mixed with pitchers and hitters that I'd be able to choose from.

It could be from his minor-league squad.

Thanks! :)

Congratulations to The Texas Rangers, the first team to clinch a spot in the BBFTG playoffs. :applaud:
Updated Magic Numbers in the standings thread

[Erik Bedard]

This is kinda odd.

[JordanDL3891]

Pena is 3 homeruns away from 50. I think he got 49 last year.

[Erik Bedard]

IIRC, he had 47.
