Trades:

I got both of them up, so you can pick which one .. if it comes to that. Good luck with your other offers.

Thanks man, I was warming up to the first one but I will check out the new one with Hunter a little more.

Errrr...edit. I will look at which pitcher I really want more.

No, I'm a dumbass. The ones out there now are cool.

Oggy did you see my offer?

I'm having a hard time picking between Gallardo and Hughes. My limited baseball knowledge combined with my Yankee hate make it difficult for me to pick.

This is fucking ridiculous honestly. The trades weren't that bad and this is coming from someone who knows baseball. Yeah, LA got the better end of the deal, but it wasn't that lopsided. LA is right, he bought low and sold high...if he's lucky it will end up that way also. I'm usually the first one to throw a fit when the integrity of something I'm involved with is compromised, fantasy teams included, and the trades that were made with Kings don't bother me. Hell, I wish I would've made them first, but they weren't so bad that I'm gonna pitch a fit and quit the league.

Let me ask you a simple question though. If Kings actually gave a shit about his team, you think he would have done those trades? Do you think anyone, in any league would have done either of those trades if they cared/knew what they were doing? No.

i let the 1st one go without saying anything. This time i felt the need to speak up. I know i am right about this. You guys can hate me if you want but i do take this seriously, probably too seriously. Im a very competitive person. Im sorry if that rubs you the wrong way.

Well.. Hughes is young and has better numbers as of right now than Gallardo (W's, ERA, WHIP), and he also plays on the Yankees who will most likely give him more run support.

Gallardo will have more K's and is less of a question mark than Hughes being that Hughes is a rookie.

I would say Potential wise Hughes is the better pitcher.. but Gallardo could be more dependable. I like them both, they are my two best pitchers by far.

Yeah I'm leaning toward Gallardo, but I'm sure Hughes will probably give me more wins. But Gallardo could be just as good if not better in every other catagory.

I think I'll accept that trade here shortly

Fuck it, I accepted it. I'm going to be less gun shy with all the recent activity of the league.

what's the trade?

Send Ian Kinsler, Tex 2B from 2B/SS to Mantis
Send David Wright, NYM 3B from 1B/3B to Mantis
Receive Howard Kendrick, LAA 2B from Mantis to Bench
Receive James Loney, LAD 1B from Mantis to Bench
Receive B.J. Upton, TB OF from Mantis to Bench
Receive Yovani Gallardo, Mil SP from Mantis to Bench

I had the choice of Gallardo or Phil Hughes

hmm, pretty even. Good trade.

damn Golbez, you giving up on starting pitching? Send me a trade if you want. I've got some good starters and im looking for a bat, maybe some steals.

Good, I was hoping it was. I'm hoping BJ can come around strong for me.

I love your pitching. You know I have BJ Upton now?
Take a look at my bats and tell me if anything interest you.

yea i mean you gave up the bigger names for sure, but i think Gallardo will really help you. Upton will give you steals and eventually he'll start hitting.

i was just looking. I could use a hitter. Let me see if i can make something work.

BJ (as LA puts it) "is a notorious slow starter" .. you are picking him up at the right time i think.. plus the Rays are good as hell..

Yeah I'm really hoping BJ can pick his bat up. I also have some slight concerns about Wright that allowed me to finally let him go. I really didn't want to get ride of him though. But I'm hoping Gallardo and BJ can make this deal work for me.

yea Wright has def had some issues this year. he just doesn't play very well at home...

No I havnt. Dont think the trade would have been fair if I didn't offer a solid pitcher. I know that I am having to scrap for SPs now, but I am confident in my FA pickup abilities to stay a float.

so no you've got Andrus, Hamilton, and Kinsler. A true Rangers fan. I think you guys both improved with that trade.
