New forum, new thread. 

 

I wouldn't mind another closer if anyone has one they're willing to trade.

[theboozecruise]

No closers for you!

[Earlybird]

I'll find one.

[redd]

I'd like a closer as well. Quite confident that I can pay more than Earl will.

[Earlybird]

Ignore Redd.  I'm easier to deal with.  Redd ranks right up there with Ted in unlikeliest to make a deal. 

[theboozecruise]

You know what gents, I'd also like another closer or two.  Go figure.

[Earlybird]

Redd and I have finalized our bet.  We are both playing for a bottle of this.  Boo, have you ever had it?

This thread consists entirely of people I've never heard of but feel like I should have.

[Chuck]

Halo Magic, these guys are good people from a fantasy baseball keeper league I'm in. They would rather use our forum than the POS on CBS, plus they love me. :-)

[Chuck]

But hey guys, don't be bashful, we talk other things outside of just Angels Baseball. Jump right in! My casa is u casa.

[Earlybird]

I don't mind guys wandering in.  Someone needs to keep this thread going.

 

BTW, you were right about Trout.  I didn't think he had 30 HR power.  Props to you on that one.

[Earlybird]

Chuck, do you sleep in those sunglasses?

[Lollardfish]

Occupy has closers and prospects for trade. Looking for SP or speed guys.

[Earlybird]

Tyler Colvin has speed.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Whatever happened to our aw league from last year?

[Earlybird]

Justin Smoak.  Has he figured something out or is he a perennial dick tease?

[redd]

Anyone actually feel like trading? I have an itch.

My main league is run on CBS and I couldn't agree more about the message board function on that site. The way they have it set up is atrocious. The reason we stay with CBS in that league is that the layout of the site is nice, and we've been with them for over a decade for our fantasy sites.

Why did several posts get deleted?

No clue Earlybird. My mods say they did not, but I alerted them to leave this thread alone going forward unless they're alerted by one of you guys that there's a problem.

[Earlybird]

Thanks Chuck.

I have "slight" interest in Smoak.  Our draft is April 6.  Please provide more updates on Smoak.

[Earlybird]

Supposedly he shortened his swing while down in AAA in 2012.  He also said he is going back to using his legs and less of his upper body, which caused him to have timing issues and to fly open too quickly.  His floor is 20 HR w/ playing time.  It's a gamble no doubt, but sometimes it take guys some time to adjust to MLB pitching.  Not all players are Braun, just add warter.  I really liked Smoak in college so I'll give him another shot.  I probably wouldn't rely on him as your primary 1B, but he's a good bench/lotto ticket IMO.

I've never tried the 16-year.

I'm looking forward to drinking it next Holiday Season.
