Am I the only one that likes to go to random pages in this thread to see what was going on at certain times?

That tendency comes from having won it all, methinks. You'll be cured of it by the end of this season

Nothing has changed since May of last year

2. SAF barely has any starting pitchers.

Other than that, I think you got a slightly better deal in this trade.

I just looked into that trade and it was SAF trading Henderson Alvarez to sam for Jake Marisnick. What a blockbuster!

Well, it's official. Carter Capps to have TJ. Awesome.

Damn, sorry man.

If it's any consolation, you still have 5 high quality relievers left and arguably the best "bullpen" of anyone in this league even without Capps.

Hopefully Bum figures it out for the sake of my team. It's nice to see you posting again in here. I hadn't seen you around for awhile

On a side note, I'm absolutely ECSTATIC to see how good the White Sox have been playing so far in Spring Training. Just about everyone is raking and it's awesome to see even though the games are meaningless.

[Hollywood42]

If only you had ANY other pitchers to replace him

3B- Todd Frazier
SP- Trevor Bauer
P- Collin McHugh
RP- Trevor Rosenthal
RP- Hector Rondon

[Highroller]

If I traded away a player that I originally drafted but reacquired them later, do they count? If so, mine are:

1B - Edwin Encarnacion
SS - Addison Russell
SP - David Price
SP - Daniel Norris

and that's it lol. Price and Encarnacion are the only guys I've had from day 1 to now.

[Hollywood42]

Nope, doesn't count

drop his ass, seabass !

[Hollywood42]

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people are completely opposed to the idea that anything they do or have done can be modified to be made better. I don't care if you change things based on my suggestions, but if you're not even open to the remote possibility of changing things for the better, that just doesn't make sense

C- Wieters vs. Posey-------------------Advantage- Homerun. No catcher in the league could top Posey, but Wieters probably won't even be on my roster come draft time
1B- Goldschmidt vs. Encarnacio-------Advantage- Hollywood, easily
2B- Dozier vs. Pedroia-----------------Advantage- Hollywood. All homerisms aside, I'd take Dozier over Pedoria 10/10 times now, Dozier is entering his prime and has improved each of the past few years, Pedroia has gotten older and begun his decline
3B- Sano vs. Seager-------------------Advantage- Tie. I'd take a full season of Sano over a Seager any day, but will mark this as a tie as to not be a homer. Still predict Sano to be superior though, but can't say that yet until he plays a full season
SS- Escobar vs. Russell---------------Advantage- Hollywood. Russell may improve, but for now, it's Alcides
OF- Heyward vs. Eaton----------------Advantage- Tie. Depends on the type of player you're looking for. I'd go with Heyward, and I think most would too, but Eaton puts up surprising comparable numbers
OF- Cepdedes vs. Kemp---------------Advantage- Hollywood. Even if we can't expect a repeat of last season from Cespedes, Kemp is getting up there and I doubt a reasonable regression from Cespedes would drop him 100 points to meet Kemp
OF- Rosario vs. Upton-----------------Advantage- Homerun
Util- Frazier vs. LeMahieu-------------Advantage- Hollywood. Had a crap 2nd half and still ended with 75 more fantasy points. No reason to expect his 2nd half is his new norm
Util- Buxton vs. Piscotty---------------Advantage- Homerun. For now....
Bench- Desmond, Panik, Span, Brinson vs. Yunel, Yelich, Bird----------Advantage- Hollywood. Younger, deeper, would rather have my players as backups than Homerun's backups

Totals:
Hollywood- 6
Homerun- 3

Includes 2 ties, one of which being Sano/Seager where I fully expect Sano to be better in the long term

SAF vs. awz

C- Schwarber vs. Gattis------------------Advantage- SAF. Gattis is solid, but man can Schwarber hit
1B- Belt vs. Duda-------------------------Advantage- Tie. Pretty close here, neither is super good or super bad, both are about average
2B- Phillips vs. Kendriks-----------------Advantage- SAF. Both are aging and might not be relevant too much longer, but Phillips wins this one
3B- Castellanos vs. Tomas---------------Advantage- awz. I'll give awz this one, I think we know what kind of player Castellanos is already (below average), but there's still lots of time for Tomas to turn into the player he was hyped to be
SS- Igelsias vs. nobody-------------------Advantage- SAF. Igelsias sucks in fantasy, but it beats an empty space
OF- Billy Burns vs. Harper----------------Advantage- awz. Not close
OF- Alex Gordon vs. Puig-----------------Advantage- SAF. Should be good when he comes back from injury, and I'm kinda thinking Puig won't reach his level he hit early on in his career again
OF- Garcia vs. Gomez--------------------Advantage- awz. Neither had incredible numbers last year, but this one was pretty easy for me
Util- Plouffe vs. Springer-----------------Advantage- awz. They were similar last year, but I think Plouffe has about reached his ceiling while Springer can improve a lot still
Util- Lindor vs. Ortiz----------------------Advantage- awz. Don't know how much longer, but Ortiz easily beats Lindor for now
Bench- Matt Adams, McKinney, Soler, Gallo, Yan Gomes vs. Sandoval, Swihart, Moncada, Judge--------------Advantage- awz. Moncada and Judge are big reasons why awz's bench wins

Totals:
SAF- 4
awz- 6

Now that our offseason moves are basically done, Hollywood should do these random matchups again. Would be interesting to see if any team significantly improved.

[SportsAutoFreak]

Got my Berrios back from Spring Training yesterday.

[Hollywood42]

Nah, because HR will just request I do he and Gum's pitchers again

Lol we need a good debate to get this thread going again.

[Hollywood42]

If people request matchups that are interesting and haven't been discussed 80 times before I'd do a few in my free time

Exit vs HR vs Gum

Nah, I request that you compare Highroller's and Bam's hitters.

[SportsAutoFreak]

So I guess Meadows got hurt. Ugh.

Can't compare my offense. It's too nasty

I replaced conforto and choo with Stanton and Cespedes

You would be correct, your offense can't compare to mine.
