Road to Glory: Blowout Dynasty League ($25 yearly)

[Dbacksbaseball]

I legitimately have 30 guys I could make an argument to keep this year. Plus I have some Tyler O Neill close to promotion.

I would like to package a few of these guys together for a good arm. This would be good for a team slightly out of contention who needs help in more then 1 area.

Profar
Pereza
Camargo
Anderson
Taylor
Gurriell JR
Anderson
Marwin Gonzalez
Arrieta
Kennedy
Ottavino
Dominguez
Minter
LeBlanc
Bieber
Yarbrough
O'Neill

Obviously doing the math some of these guys will be kept and harder to acquire then others, but I could make an argument on keeping all, and with some of the rosters in this league...these guys are all rosterable. Again looking to package 2-3 together for 1 better player.

I would like to trade for a top 10-20 starter, first baseman and some top tier prospects.

I hope not.....

Yeah, two accounts but I don't see why. Normally its just a double ban... have him pm me.

[Hollywood42]

I sent him a PM to get in touch with you. Says one of the accounts was for his dad, but I'll let you two have that conversation. Please let us know how that gets resolved if he does contact you, if you don't mind

Ok so julu has been asked to be dropped from the league. I told him to PM houdini first and see if the deal can get resolved, but I don't know if he's going to do that or not. I'll give it a few days to see if anything happens. If about a week passes and we haven't heard anything, we can go ahead and replace him

Weird development there. If its just a misunderstanding it shouldn't be a big deal. I think the accounts had a combined 130 post?

[Hollywood42]

I'm with you. Don't know what was up, but with how little either account appeared to be used, probably not an issue. But I'll let houdini figure it out if julu gets in touch with him

[Hollywood42]

I haven't heard from Julu again, so my plan is to have a replacement that I have ready to go take over his team. Thinking we'll give HOF one more shot, but if participation isn't up to par again next year, then he'll be replaced after that

[Hollywood42]

Blowout member Chris Lyle is going to be taking over julu's team. I'm in a fantasy football league with Lyle, and he's very active and always open for trades, so I think he'll have a great time here and will really help improve the league. I doubt this will be an issue at all, but as a general disclaimer whenever someone new is joining a league, I always ask people to be sure not to send trade offers they know aren't good for him. I suggested he take a bit of time to understand the scoring system of everything before diving in, and I will be sending him some impartial tips on how the system is slanted, but the team is officially his and he's free to do as he pleases

As for HOF, I've decided to give him one more shot at things in 2019. If his involvement improves, great, if not and we want to replace him, then we'll do so at the end of the season. He's aware of all that and is in agreement, so I think we're all set there

It looks like we're good to go on the member front now. The only hesitation I have is bshea since he's so hard to contact, so we'll see if he pays up or not in February when I sent out buy in information. If he does, cool, if not we'll find a replacement quick and get them on board

[Chris Lyle]

Glad to be in the league and as Hollywood said I like to do deals and enjoy being active. Look forward to having a lot of fun.

[Cornerstore]

Little loaded in OF so trying to move justin upton, kyle tucker or tommy pham this offseason. Could also look to move cano, kyle seager or happ in any deal. Trevor williams and vizcanio available as well so thats one decent sp/rp out there.

As far as prospects go could be willing to move one of Joey Bart or Keibert Ruiz, Kolby Allard, Luis Urias

Now. What i would be looking for is mostly pitching or high potential prospects in a 2 from 1 for one type deal. If any of these names sound tempting - let me know

Welcome, my friend!

[Hollywood42]

I’m always looking to trade. Out and about right now, so don’t have a detailed list, but I can say I’d be interested in a few pitchers, anywhere from top 5 to top 40

[Cornerstore]

Also - dropping Alec Hansen from the minor league roster

Updated. Speaking of prospect rosters, here is the final service time update this offseason. The following players are over limits and must be promoted to majors or dropped before keepers are due in February. Since adds are frozen for the offseason, let me know if you would like to promote anyone and I will take care of it

Bshea
Willie Calhoun
Ramon Laureano

Firerunner
Joe Jimenez

Silverandblack
Max Fried

Todderfield
Erick Fedde

Dbacks' Tyler Oneill also finished the season with exactly 130 MLB ABs under his belt- how about that?

Yikes! Whats our official rule on that, am I lucky and get to stash him 1 game on Minors roster yet or must I promote? Cool either way. Just a little strategy involved obviously.

And quoting this again.....willing to make some moves.

[Chris Lyle]

Just to give all a heads up I am working on lists, etc. and will be looking to shake things up soon. Maybe even start sharing lists of those I would be willing to move by this evening.

[Hollywood42]

I really don't know what to think. Never expected someone to land exactly on the threshold! I guess I'd be inclined to say that they're fine to keep on prospect rosters for now since they haven't surpassed 130 ABs. But of course, when he gets one more, he'd have to be promoted

[Hollywood42]

Regarding my trading block this offseason, I'll try to get something posted later on tonight. I'm really open to trading like 95% of my players though, there's really only a few guys I'd consider as untouchable, and I'd even move them in the right deal

[Hollywood42]

Ok, my trade block-

Untouchable
These guys aren't 100% off the table, but it'd take a very, very good offer to move them.
Aaron Judge
Luis Severino

Hard to get
These guys are completely available but will be harder to get. Happy to trade in the right deal, perfectly content to hold.
Anthony Rizzo
Manny Machado
Whit Merrifield
Gary Sanchez
Clayton Kershaw
Carlos Carrasco
Kenley Jansen

On the block
My attachment to guys on this list varies, but generally speaking all are available.
Carlos Santana
David Peralta
Jorge Polanco
Franmil Reyes
Joey Wendle
Elvis Andrus
Adrian Beltre
Adam Eaton
Jason Heyward
Miguel Sano
Austin Hays
Anibal Sanchez
Nick Pivetta
Ross Stripling
Danny Duffy
Tanner Roark
Michael Fulmer
Derek Holland
Josh James
Felix Pena
Brandon Morrow

As for my minor leaguers, Yordan Alvarez will be a little hard to get, and while Gonsalves, Toussiant, Hampson, Graterol, and Nate Pearson are available, they'd take a little bit of enticing. The rest (Chavis, Marsh, Martinez, and Rooker) are available

Looking for
Listed in priority order
Quality pitching. Willing to pay up for top 10 arms, but open to anything in the top 40 range
1-2 quality relievers
1 solid bat at any position
Top 50ish prospects

[Chris Lyle]

Don't have anyone that is necessarily untouchable, but some will be harder to get then others.

Hardest To Get: Sale, Arenado, Adell, Folty, Colton Welker, Mahle, Kyle Gibson


Middle of the Road: Castro, Duplantier, Braxton Garrett, Manning, Pint, Abreu, Didi, Blackmon, Haniger, Dahl, Chatwood, Heaney, Kimbrel, Davis, Wacha

Easiest to Move: Dalbec, Trevor Rogers, Brady Singer, McCann, Nunez, Herrera, Cespedes, Kyle Lewis, Villar, Owings, Shields, Devenski


Hope this isn't to confusing, I put mlb and milb guys on the list. As far as wants I look at what I am giving up and make a judgment from there. If I am giving up a pitcher For example Sale then I would like some sort of package that would include a decent Pitcher and other players that would help the rest of my roster.

If looking at a package teams needs are middle infielder, would love to get some other prospects also

[Hollywood42]

That swap also includes me sending Julio Pablo Martinez and Mr. Lyle sending Jo Adell. I will update the prospect sheets after the trade processes
