2015 MLB Season

[MalaCloudy Black]

In less happy news, Darryl Hamilton, the former Milwaukee Brewer and holder of the record for consecutive errorless games in the American League, is dead in an apparent murder-suicide. Hamilton was shot more than once and his girlfriend had a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Fantasy baseball players, lend me your advice.

Here's my dilemma. I have no hope of winning this year, so I'm going to start to trade off guys I won't keep for keepers. What do you think of this trade:

I GIVE UP: Felix (too much to keep), Dallas Keuchel, and Hunter Pence

I GET: Noah Syndergaard, Carlos Carrasco, Corey Dickerson and Steven Matz

Am I giving up too much for these keepers?

Pedro Strop apparently pissed off Bob Costas something fierce

[Your Mom]

Fuck off Bob

Jake Peavy takes failure HARD. He gave up a 2 run homer and got pulled and he was in the dugout pulling his hair out

[Meacon Keaton]

There's much more to it than that. When he walks in the house at night, his wife stands there with hands on her hips, "Did you give up a homerun tonight?"

"...Yes."

"Then you're sleeping on the couch again, Jake."

[Your Mom]

This feels like a baseball night. Mets/Dodgers later and I'll probably watch that too

[Your Mom]

6 RBI for Bryant so.far in 2 innings! Fuck yes Cubs! AMERICA'S TEAM!!!

He kindly helped me into the lead in every batting category in fantasy against you as well. KBoom is an American hero.

I was gonna say, you want a baseball jersey too?!

[Maxx]

Was really happy there was some baseball on to watch tonight, even better that it was Red Sox/Yankees.  Unfortunately, I've had to hear Harold Reynolds pretty much talk to himself for an hour.

Not like the Braves were actually going to contend this year, but losing your closer for he year ain't helping things.

Guh. This is a team that is at least two years from being a threat. At least the Cubs are actually showing upside. 

[Meacon Keaton]

And now you get to watch the wonderful "closing" of the one, Jim Johnson.

[MDK]

Are you lot still hitting a ball in such a rustic fashion? We didn't give the world cricket just for your lot to ruin it. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Then go back to your cricket thread and go on about your wicket!

[MDK]

Listen mate: Boundries, LBW, slips, weak IPA, THE Oval, smashing the fucking colonials (Australians) is what your weird, archaic sport is based on. Probably, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what my original point was. This is why day drinking isn't the best idea in the world. 

[SeanDMan]

too many weak IPAs, that is your folley.

[MDK]

Considering that cricket last for weeks, weak beer is always a good idea. Unless you want to piss yourself three hours into a five day test match.

[thatshortguy]

If your argument actually leads to the point that Major League Baseball is the quicker, more efficient use of time, then I strongly advise you skew the debate elsewhere. ='P

As for Johnson, I could see Fredi going by committee in the hopes that someone steps up as a closer for the future.
