Official 2011 MLB Thread

I’m out of the fun league. I just want to take a fantasy break after basketball fun league ends this year.

No more math and stats for me until basketball fun league next year. Whoever takes over my team gets a pretty baller pitching staff though.

You following in my foot steps? :rofl:

Baseball season just too long, and it’s in the summer. No one wants to have to crunch numbers in the summer. We want to go out to the park, and beach. Enjoy the freaking sunshine!

Anyways I would still like to be a 2nd owner for whomever takes over my team. Just so I can troll the chat box and read Lint’s update every now and then.

We gotta start off with this: ALBERT PUJOLS!

He is the one man in this league that deserves a 10 year 300 mill. contract.

Go Gigantes! Go A’s!

No one deserves a 10 year 300 mil contract at the age of 31.

Maybe if he was 21 and you’re 100% sure he not going to fucking die then maybe.

No 21 year old could ever deserve a 10 year contract, theres no possibility he’s shown enough to be worth it. 300/10 is too much for Albert too, but if anybody deserves it, he does.

People quitting because I am too beast.

I sad.

EDIT: My team is pretty fucking buff though.

CLint -

Aren’t the two open spots in the League going to myself and Thai?

Don’t leave me hanging bro.

I had a heart to heart with the fans, and I am NOT quitting. The owners talked to me and after my baffling consecutive GMing strategies (second basemen and pitchers respectively), they think the third time will be the charm.

I can fix this! MONEYBALL, ANALYTICS, MATH, LETS DO THIS.

God I am going to have to read so much. There are like 3000 players. I only know Phillies, Giants, Yankees, and Red Sox.

Who is Paul Branyon? WHY DID THE MARINERS TRADE FOR HIM?!?!

This is SO HARD.

It isn’t so hard. Just remember what Mets fans say about Jeff Francouer. He has HEART.

(and is about as useful as Ma-Ti)

I think this year is the Pirates year, goodbye consecutive losing season streak.

I remember when Frenchy was the future of the Atlanta Braves. And then he forgot what plate discipline was.

You are wrong because he NEVER had plate discipline

Just do what I did auto draft to the win.

But he could still make contact with those pitches 4 feet off the plate

Yes, I am just lazy and haven’t sent out the invites until now.

I have sent you an invite as the second owner of Ckrazy’s team. Once you accept, you will inherit his team and his keepers shall become your keepers.

Morph will inherit Team Smith, by luck of draw.

Oops. Rename your team whenever you have a chance.

No.

Make Buckley the 1st owner and make me the 2nd owner.

I’m just there as the hype man.

He’s Blake Griffin, and I am Kenny Smith.

Let him choose his keepers.

I think I have Cano and Ichiro, follow by a bunch of bums.

Does this work like the NBA where he get picks if he doesn’t take the keepers?

See these decision should be in his hands!

I’m just singing in the choir.

?It?s critically important that they understand, and we all understand, that 2011 is not going to be a year where small bits of incremental progress are adequate. I reminded them that the goal of the organization has been, since the day I got started, to build an organization that can compete and win a championship. Until we can win a NL championship, we?re not going to be satisfied with incremental progress.? - Bob Nutting, Pirates Owner

Nutting: Pirates must commit to winning title | pirates.com: News

What planet is this guy living on? lol

Haha apparently after 1500 failed 5 year plans he just hopes that wishing really hard will turn the team around.

I am on the Pirates bandwagon now, THIS IS THE YEAR

Oh, I was just going to add Buckley as the second owner, and then delete you from the league. Obviously he would get to decide everything, including which players to keep.

Did everyone get an email from the league when it started up again? I think I’ll just set a random draft time and wait for the reactions from everyone to that. And any owner that doesn’t respond with a week to go before the draft will be replaced. This is a hot ticket, I gotta keep it moving!

Don’t ever forget you’re the hype man. That Ichiro picture is not going to last long as the team photo. We are entering the era of Borbon On The Rocks. You’ve got Lee, Felix and Soria. This team is going to be about pitching…get at me with offers for an elite RP/SP people. Ichiro is on the block!
