Kicking 'em while they down. Always fun to visit Ybor City, the famous cigar manufacturing locale... Sharkman37
get your giggles in while you can FMode. My old guys are all getting just that, old. Hope you have drafted well lately to replace them.
I doubt it's just me, I'm sure everyone would appreciate you not throwing in AAA team stats in a thread meant to talk about sweeps.
concur. Who cares about a bunch of 1 stars. My point is a good chunk of your roster is all the same guys I put there. way back in 2016. C, 1B, SS, 3B, LF, DH, 3 SP and over 1/2 your bullpen. (not to mention Vulcan who you traded last year) That means they are getting old and will your team continue to be good after the player set up I gave you moves on and it is now all your own drafted/traded for guys.
No wonder TB sucks so bad - you can't read. A good chunk, I suppose that's the optimistic way TB has to view things. Enjoy all those top 10 picks and maybe one day you can be like soxandgators too.
so.... who drafted and developed Schloss, Platea, Grinaldo, Marrero, Seager, Hilts, Falcon, Mitchell, Martin, Menke, Brandon Hansen (forgot about him), Frias, A Garcia, Kline, Atlantis, Blackwood, , et al. You got Serna, traded for Ames and are paying 16 whatever million to one star Mat Latos (I will also call out Lopez). Like I said, I will reserve judgement until all my old guys that are humping it for you matriculate out and you are on your own two feet. I wasn't going to say anything until you decided to post that you swept me (which isn't a big deal this year after trying to clean up Pepper's mess) and even then, I was nice about it. Go play in a WS or 2 and win one with your own drafted and developed players and then we can talk. Other then that, please....
You drafted... and developed NONE OF THE LISTED ABOVE (edit: 5/16) ... You can't claim to have developed players when you only invest $3 million in a farm system - which is understandable when you paid Grienke, Cliff Lee, and Joba premium money. With 5 exceptions everyone else was 3* pot best when you drafted them. The majority of the above mentioned players were drafted with no potential, Mitchell was signed as a .5* FA (ref: developing players). Ask around, there's more killing of players going on then getting them to reach their potential. You can continue to go on, and on but the future is bright in these parts, no thanks to a draft strategy that forced the league to adopt a new rule to eliminate it #sheep
Can we get this thread back to the point of people getting swept instead of bullshitting about minor league guys?
