    From the message I got the idea that the potential new member is a boardie, if they can step in right away then I have no problem with them stepping in. The sooner a replacement is found the better imo.

    My friend can't do it.
    Doesn't have the time either.
    So we are looking for a manager.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,296 ✭✭✭Coeus


    Also with regard to Trade, if people feel it is an unfair trade then I have no problem anyone vetoing it, but Patterson is an all rounder, check his stats, often bats #2 in front of Bautista and is ranked higher than Prado this season!
    David Freese is also hitting well since he came back from injury and a solid 3rd base replacement.

    EDIT: But Coeus you are right, the new manager might not like the trade so should be vetoed under these circumstances.
    I was just thinking Patterson hasn't done much of late, yes he did have a good April and May, that why his ranking is higher than Prado. Agree on Freese, his stats are actually better than I thought. I just prefer Prado he is proven and has multiple position eligility. Then again I dont have the injury probs of Busters so the manager needs to fill out the starting lineup...

    I don't see anything particularly wrong with the trade but it might be best to leave it up to the new manager


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,332 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    I'm fine with a new manager, very glad it was offered up as such instead of just leaving the team to be walked over.

    Great nip and tuck matchup with Homers Homers this week, he's widened the gap yesterday in a few categories but it's still only a 5-4 lead with tonight to go. Need a bit of luck to tie things up....


  • Registered Users Posts: 444 ✭✭brilliantboy



    I think better news would've been if you woke up this morning to discover that the trade didn't happen and it was all just a terrible nightmare :D

    Games from this Thursday through Sunday will count for this week so it will be game on once the All Star stuff is done...


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,181 ✭✭✭Iang87


    just spotted that there i thought for some reason the whole week was a right off.Happy days then


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 4,970 Mod ✭✭✭✭GoldFour4


    Pujols has started back very well after the all star break.

    All star game is so annoying fantasy wise though, gets rid of a good 3 days worth of stats !

    yes and no my team came out hitting and did so well in the first 2 days it more or less won me all the batting categories letting me plan and plot to win pitching


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 4,970 Mod ✭✭✭✭GoldFour4


    The league is pretty tight 4 thru 9 at the moment.

    Yeah it's crazy. I jumped up like 4 spots in a week, now playing Coeus and will likely drop right back down.

    Great competition though

    +1 on competition. I have gone and signed for the football aswell :)

    I think we're pretty well matched this week.

    You have have great starting pitching and my WHIP/ERA are already blown. Saves is the only category I'd be confident on in pitching.

    You have a an edge on speed and I have a good headstart on HRs but any of the hitting categories could go either way with almost a full week to play. I'm delighted that Dan Uggla has remembered how to hit though :)

    I'm not sure I have enough pitchers to compete on K's but we'll see. Need a few SB's quickly too. Dropped Infante today for Escobar and he's hit 2 homers. :(

    Fingers crossed I can get a few categories. Would take 4/10 right now.

    And now I see you dropped him from your team. Suprised he wasn't in your lineup as he is swinging a hot bat the last few weeks. I'm playing Daniel Murphy for that reason. Hitting 2 homers was probably a bit of a fluke as he had only hit 1 all season.

    When I last looked at the stattracker last night I was 8-0 to the good but that turned round to been 6-3 in your favour by the end of play. Still plenty to play for though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    Uggla has sorted himself out big time!
    And to think, he is up to 22 HRs and on a 24 game streak yet is still only batting .212!
    Madness.

    That Infante double was compelte fluke, he offers nothing other than flexibility.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    Also, I agree, it is really hotting up.
    I'm getting nervous now!
    the peloton are reeling us in!

    Had just brought in Escobar and wanted to give him a run to see what he's like. Infante has been solid but nothing special. I swapped for Barney as SS backup as he has an excellent AVG which is a category I am usually competitive in, and also more likely to get runs. My team aren't that big on HR's or RBI's right now.

    Worth picking up Infante though if anyone's looking for a versatile IF. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    YAY!
    My name is no longer a series of numbers like - 058895500504571


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,332 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    Left another 2 HR's on the bench tonight. 2nd day running. :(

    Playing you this week. Funny, you are hammering me in pitching and we are dead even in batting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    The batting stats are bordering on hilarious!!
    R HR RBI SB AVG
    16 5 15 1 .255
    16 5 15 2 .250


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 4,970 Mod ✭✭✭✭GoldFour4


    I traded for Papelbon to increase my saves. So far this week he has 2 wins, wtf like !
