Boo on you for presenting me with a much stronger offer than the one you took. I might have been able to beat that one. Booooooooo!

[Moosehead Jack]

There are still more picks to be had, and sorry if I read you wrong, but I thought you meant you wouldn't go any higher than what you offered for next year.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

There's plenty of baseball left

Yeah, but I wanted Mike Gonzalez, you big jerk. Or at least a dude who will go in the next 2 rounds or so. Jerkface.

And yeah, the 15th we were discussing was too far away from the 10th you said you had to justify my going there. But the difference between 15 and 13 is a lot closer. I don't know if I would have bent and given you a 13 or 12 but I certainly could have tooled around with offers like a 15 and an 18 or something. But we'll never now, will we? Jerk.

And as implied by rule #3 and my excessive use of "jerk" I'm doing this largely in jest. I'm not pissed of anything. I'm just kicking the dirt a little because I can totally accept being beat out on a deal because I wasn't willing to beat it but I hate losing out on a deal because I never got a chance to counter. As we've learned from years of me whining about this, its one of my big fantasy peeves. People don't shop talent enough. There's a weird habit in fantasy baseball for people to take the first good offer they get and then a bunch of messages pop up saying "I could have beat that!"

In Moose's defense, trading is probably his least favorite thing to do. Well that, and winning.

Fixed that for you.

Army's on the clock for another 8 hours or so. At 11:54 PM EST he gets Alexei Ramirez.

The next time i want the guy who's at the top of the list, i'm intentionally letting the clock expire.

Neftali Feliz is another keeper that isn't marked off Mike's spreadsheet. He's one of Grover's.

[Moosehead Jack]

Gimmick, where did you make the offer? I didn't see it (insert blind joke here)

[Sparty]

Via a PM that you opened several days back.

Strikeout machine when healthy. I should know; had him previously. Didn't I trade for him with you?

[Lucky]

I drafted him really cheap a few years back right before he broke out and then I moved him, basically figuring he would never stay healthy enough to be worth the keeper spot. Right call there. I thought it was to Dev but maybe it was to you. It was during that awesome draft/season or two I had where I thought I was king of the world because every move I made seemed to turn up gold. Then the law of averages kicked in.

I've been passing on him for the last half dozen rounds or so hoping that the fact that he won't start until May at the earliest would scare people away but with guys like Sheets and Harden going a lifetime ago and real question mark back end pitchers going now I couldn't wait any longer. If the dude can give me 4 months it should be more than I get from most other available pitchers for a full season. I was worried that when when I tipped my hand on that "upside" bit of talking I did a few rounds back I'd lose him like I lost Cueto. But each round I couldn't justify passing over whoever or whatever for a guy likely to miss the first month or two of the season. So here's hoping this one works out better than a couple of seasons ago when I drafted Sheets when he was scheduled to start the season on the DL and I don't think he ever came off.

[Army Dice Clay]

I have drill this weekend so on the off chance it gets back to me, I'll be hit and miss this weekend but I'll try to hop online once or twice to see where we're at.
