If I were you, I would dump Gagne to free up a DL spot.

I'll glady drop Gagne when the Brewers finally give up on his sorry ass. Until then, he's stuck wasting a spot on my roster.

Why? Is he on the Can't Cut List?

Does anyone know who A.F.Z. is here? He has five people on the DL, three of whom are on his active roster. This is particularly problematic (for him) because two of them are pitchers, meaning he might not make the 24 inning minimum (he barely made it this past week).

I think it's little unfair because whenever one team doesn't make the minimum 24 innings, the opponent automatically wins the 8 pitching categories. It's fine if it happens once and in awhile (I was on the receiving end of this last year), but two of his active roster pitchers are going to be out for several weeks at least and we could be seeing a string of this happening.

I have no idea who A.F.Z. is. According to Yahoo, his last league activity was on Feb. 7th (before the draft). Interesting that he won last week and is still in 4th place overall.

I don't think he's in danger of missing the minimum innings pitched: He has 3 SPs and at least one of them should pitch twice this week. Still, I really don't like the idea of having an absentee manager.[/quote]
Well, he barely made the minimum last week (25.1, I think) and that was partly due to one of his relievers pitching five innings. But I also don't like the idea of having an absentee manager. Especially one who hasn't been around since before the draft.

What sayeth you, Scout?

The day Gagne ends up on a fantasy "Can't Cut List" will be a sorry day in baseball. I can cut him, but with closers being in such short suppy, I figure it's best to hang onto him. Sooner or later, one of my three DL players will be activated and I'll have room to move my 4th DL guy onto the list.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Ah, I didn't think he was (that would be a sad day in indeed). However, I would say relievers are overrated. Just get another starter.

I'm still looking for my first week win. Thank you Casey Blake for getting the week off to a relativly decent start, but Pegs, I don't think you have anything to worry about. You are playing me this week and that's been a free win for anyone.

Scout sayeth that that sucks. I don't know who AFZ is either, but he signs up every year, so not a random person. Also, not sure if Yahoo allows you to replace a manager during the season, but will check into it if there's no actual managing going on...

Last year, I remember you saying something about how I was the only team you could beat. Hope this year isn't a continuation of that. I'd love to see you pick up a win- just not this week.

Have you found anything out?

 

[Scout101]

sorry, i've been swamped lately and forgot to check it out. Will see what I can find out.

No one knows who this guy is? He really does play pretty much every year...

 

[The Nth Doctor]

He wasn't in the NL league last year (unless he had a different name).

 

[Scout101]

football, perhaps? It's not a new user name.

If you've got access right now, just click on his profile, and it'll show you which teams in which leagues over the years. You can also send him an email from there, so ask him to pop in this thread, if he would.

Sadly, fantasy sports are blocked to me at work. It's a real competitive disadvantage sometimes

 

[Pegaritaville]

According to his profile, he played once before (in 2004). I can drop him an email, but since he hasn't touched his team in 10 weeks, maybe it'd be fairer to wait until after this week, when everyone has played him once.

 

[Scout101]

no other sports? Could swear I've seen his team name around before...

 

[The Nth Doctor]

No other sports and the baseball team he managed in 2004 came in last place, for what it's worth.


TigerBait (aka Niner4pot), I don't know if you read this thread anymore or not, but I sent a PM to you a couple of days ago asking to do a trade. I know it's easy to miss PMs now with the new system (hell, I only notice them because I do My Favorite Forums and PMs show up clearly there). Let me know what you think.

 

[Scout101]

The Yahoo Sports help area seems to indicate that we're SOL on this one as far as replacing managers go. I've shot AFZ an email, so hopefully he'll get back to me or pop in here...

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Cool, thanks for looking into it, Scout.

 

[tomalak301]

So can I get a free win because I was playing against a guy that appearently doesn't exist. That really sucks. I can't even win against Ghosts.

 

[Snow]

Perhaps it's an experiment: to see what would happen if you do nothing.
He was doing okay.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Yeah, until this week when Fostoria thoroughly and utterly crushed him.

tomalak, take heart in the fact that you haven't lost that badly.

 

[Snow]

Well I wasn't going to bring up my crushing victory.

Perhaps he was just a lurker on the board, saw our invite, joined, and then forgot about it.

 

[tomalak301]

How is losing every week not losing that badly. I don't get it?
