Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
I'm still lamenting the sheer number of injuries my team has suffered. And yet I have clawed out of dead last, where I have been most of the season to 7th place.
So when i get trade offers, I think "how much better would my team be with a healthy Votto, Wil Myers, Matt Harvey, Kris Medlen, AJ Griffin... If my 2B was injured most of the year (Hill and Gyorko). If three of my 5 closers hadn't retired or lost their jobs.
So I'm skittish on trades right now. All anyone wants is what little offense I have.
I'm willing to trade Harvey or Medlen, but i'd need a two top prospects near MLB ready. Both could be a difference maker in a rotation next year.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
it is a bit amazing to me how many closers lose their jobs over the course of one season. The Mariano Riveras of the world are rare.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
I now have 10 players on the Disabled List. Could be a record. Some of them were injured when I acquired them but still that is a lot of good players on the shelf.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
Im looking at 7 on the D.l. a good chunck of my S.P.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
I have three... interesting offers.
Consider this though. I lost three legit #1 starters before the season started and I'm second in the league in K's, my WHIP is dropping like a stone, and I expect my ERA to be around 3.40 by seasons end.
For some reason, the flyers I take on pitching seem to pan out.
I need OFFENSE!

I currently have 6 on the DL, had as many as 10.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
On a side note just wanted to say thanks again for having me in the league. You guys are great. My baseball knowledge (and time spent reading up on baseball) has increased exponentially. I used to simply be an NL Central guy.
And down the stretch they come! Fun to watch the race for #1 play out. I had Dan pegged for the win...but that Goldschmidt injury just made things interesting.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
We are thrilled to have you in the league kaldaniels. You are exactly what we were looking for in a replacement team owner. You are doing a good job with your team and I am sure you will soon be a threat.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
Yes it looks like we are going to have an exciting finish this year. Will M and camisadelgolf have made some key improvement to their squads. There are still two months of baseball to play, so there is plenty of time for teams to make a run for the championship.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
My team just stinks, but I am proud that I've raised my batting average to a respectable number over the run of the season through the use of the waiver wire. I am aiming to contend by 2017!

You had the disadvantage of inheriting a really bad team. I think you have things headed in the right direction. Make lots of trades to speed things up!
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
if you look back over the transaction history you realize just how many good players were available in the free agent pool. you'll also probably cry when you realize just how awesome your team would be if you had picked up Keuchel, Arrieta, Jake McGee, Doolittle, Blackmon, Duda, Josh Harrison, etc, etc, etc
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
I'd like to point out just how much everyone has enabled redsfandan. That rotation is sick! I'm pretty sure we have all traded him a SP at one time or another. :)
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
So I say i need offense and I get offered pitching.
To be clear, I'm not trading closers, so don't bother asking. in this league, they are just too rare.
If you want Harvey for next season, I need to see better offers.
I'm also open to trading Medlen.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
For what it's worth, Latos is available too. . . . and Kinsler.
Re: Redszone Dynasty League 2014 -- Season 6
Is there a tiebreaker if two teams finish with the same point total?
