Taking adderall durring the draft will require league permission: the 2015 I Love Baseball fantasy league thread!

fucking baller move, dropping Cain!

that confused me

my team sucks but i finally thought of a baseball/music pun so that's progress

Why are people not responding to my trade offers?

I need more offense, I'm willing to trade a good SP in return.

i don't think i got one... i'll at the very least shoot you down promptly.

my hail marys have paid off for what will likely be only one day!

Four teams within five points of first place!

Me, two years ago, almost to the day:
This rate stats thing is ruining my liiiiiiife~~~ HOW DO I GET OUT OF THE PITCHING GUTTER

At the start of last year:
wow, this year same as last year -- top 3 in almost every stat, bottom 3 in the pitcher rate stats

Just so you all know that I am, if nothing else, consistent: first place in RBI, SLG, OBP, 2nd in XBH, top 4 in all other batting stats... and bottom half for all pitching cats except sv+hld.

HOW DO U PITCHER?

(also consistent with at least last year, and possibly the year before: my first-half lead followed by inexorable descent into high-mid table)

so, with Sano hitting really well i might not have room for Heyward (26) anymore. And with Lucroy stinking i might be interested in someone a year or two older than Jason (27/28). still not sure about this move, but if anyone is interested in swaying me, hit me up.

When's the trade deadline? Must be soon.

fuck, i'm a terrible commish. didn't realize the deadline was two days ago! i suck.
in my defense we just (sort of) finished sleep training our kid and am dealing with a nightmare tenant in our basement we've been trying to evict for months now.

is his name jason heyward?

my child is not named jason Heyward, no.

i might not have room for Heyward (26) anymore

dealing with a nightmare tenant in our basement we've been trying to evict for months now

my joke sucked so i am not sure why i am blockquoting this agh never mind I AM GOING TO LOSE THIS LEAGUE AGAIN

i was just being a pain! ;p

12 runs, 5 HR, and 12 RBI's yesterday (thx Gardner and Joey Bats) and I barely moved in the standings. Tough league.

I want 5th place and you're in my way!

congrats (n)omar!

p happy finishing 2nd tbh think if waino hadnt suffered his injury i coulda made a better run @ it

Congrats Omar! this is championship #2?

having spent the fist half around 10/11th i'm pretty happy with a 4th (or possibly 3rd?!) place finish. i'm in a good spot for next year with Bryant Sano, Fernandez, Felix and other (maybe Quintana since i accidentally dropped Pineda).

Yep I won in '09 too! I thought for sure my team was sunk at one point, but I managed to plug some gaps and keep battling and you know it was a team effort, my hats off to the kids, they really played with a lot of heart and just knew how to win in the end.

btw I'm tentatively finished with fantasy, allowing myself the possibility to change my mind if my schedule gets better. So these guys I was debating on keeping may be out there for next season:

Marte
Bogaerts
Gray
Kluber
Chapman
Pollock
Kipnis
McHugh

nooooooooooo..........

There's not a good time to do it, so may as well say I'm most likely out for bext season as well. It's lame but I got really into daily fantasy this year and although season long isn't as much work, it's too much to do both at the same time.

I have mookie, Addison Russell, Strasburg, Carlos Martinez, lance Lynn, and I think a couple other potential keepers.

;_;

fug.

well I may be back. the grind of 162 games really runs me down at age 40 but if Julio Franco can play real baseball at 48 I might have another season in me.

i for one am shocked

Congrats nomar! There were a lot of strong teams in the first half of the season but you crushed everyone in July and by mid-August there wasn't really any doubt about who would win.

It was a disappointing season for me, I had a good two month run where I was in the top three and even had a two day cup of coffee in first place, but it turned out that my offense was playing way over its head. I like my keeper options for next year though.

I think I've changed my mind on quitting already. I need at least one fantasy league to distract me.

I went into first place one day and I thought I'd be done bc there were several other scary rosters but cargo and ortiz kept hitting. pollock ended up being a great pick, I was going to use him as a reserve and he ended up the fourth best offensive player or something ridiculous like that.
