Team Based Keeper Version I Part II - Season V (2006)

[packleader]

My apologies to all who have messaged me and asked about players available. I have been too busy to think about this league until now and will attempt to put things together tonite so y'all should be getting response in the next 24 hours. Thanks. :)

Seemed to have hurt sandlot's feelings refusing to trade you Vargas. After all, you did ask for him on three separate occassions.

While you older generation people might consider Martinez a liability, I see ways he can be used you obviously do not see. He is the best catcher in the deck.

Personally, we always would rather have the guy we already own than the other guys catcher. part of human nature for the baby boomers. I prefer Redmond, myself. We all have our preferences.

I have won championships using an offense catcher as backup and DH, like a couple of years ago when Ivan Rodriguez had an awesome card but a "4" rated injury. My second catcher was Mike Piazza who did well as DH and filling in for Ivan as catcher. Such creativity can be fun. I see you agree that Javier has better defense, which eliminates his usefulness as a DH since his price includes that.

I stand by the fact that this is a fun game, whether you win or lose, and one can try many strategies to accomplish the same purpose. For some, it is winning and for others, like me, it is having fun.

Team chemistry is important, and I stand on the fact that four of the five starting pitchers I intend to use are not tradeable. That includes Jason Vargas. sandlot, you are rude and combatant in your PMs, and I will not be intimidated by your kind. I intend to no longer respond to your rantings on this message board or in any PM. You can have the last word here, and no matter how much you whine, Vargas is not tradeable.

I will have the last word on the playing field. :twisted:

Whatever ... :roll:

Anyone that wants to waste that much space on mindless prattling has way too much time on his hands for me. :?

And you didn't hurt my feelings btw. That ain't gonna happen in this game. Especially by not trading me a useful but unbalanced player with limited value.

You DID (do) make me laugh though so I am grateful.

Thanks!!! :lol:

And btw -- being the best card in the deck may or may not be a recipe for success.

AND for what it's worth, dollar for dollar and all things considered I consider VARITEK the best "CATCHER" in the set (and I know that there are some that would agree).

As far as the following is concerned: [quote:d868de4574]I will have the last word on the playing field.[/quote:d868de4574]
I relish the oppurtunity!!! :D

G/L!!!

Meanwhile, [b:9865d81841]Shelton[/b:9865d81841] just became available too. Despite whatever shortcomings some may find with him he has a pretty useful card, esp vs. RH's!!!

[ArrylT]

Speaking of catchers - I'm looking for:

(a) a guy who has a C rating (I dont care how bad) that is under 1.5m that can hit

(b) a guy under 1m with a 2 range defense at C.

[BigAlric]

Is geekor around? We were working on a nice deal before he vanished.

Btw, really no interest in Bay? He can be had for a package including a good RP and a LF or RF.

[BigAlric]

I think you are looking for Estrada, Cota, Doumit, who all are available.

[ArrylT]

Big Alric:

Both Doumit & Estrada look interesting. :)

My teams are - CLE/CHW/NYY Pitching and OAK/TOR Hitting. Take a look and send me a PM with what players you'd be interested in and we'll see if we can work out a deal. :)
