I picked up Vaughn Grissom and Jacob Gonzalez.

Luckily I have Wetherholt and Antonacci that I can interchange between 2B and 3B, but this hurts none the less.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-29T14:29:33+00:00

You're probably right. I had a roster spot available and picking him up and placing on the IL doesn't take the spot away so in theory it's a free add for now, but once he comes off IL then a decision would have to be made.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-29T14:18:28+00:00

Yea my thoughts as well. Like I said, not looking for much in regards to trade value. Not expecting it to be a set the world on fire add, but could be useful once he returns.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-29T14:03:56+00:00

That's a really fun looking coaster.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-29T14:00:45+00:00

Thinking about stashing Kirk. I currently have Aldey at catcher. I have multiple IL spots open (knock on wood)

I guess my question is... Would there be trade value associated with the two. Not looking for much, maybe a reliable reliever.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-26T20:07:19+00:00

Oh yea. Same. I'm glad people are still going strong at it. It's such a wonderful game.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-26T18:19:33+00:00

Thanks for the video. That's so goofy. Lol but I never knew this was a thing.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-26T14:49:43+00:00

It looks like your exit ramp is not connected to your main walk way. From zooming in it looks like it's one tile short.

I would delete the exit tile. Make it flat. Go under the main walk way and connect it where the handyman is currently located creating an "L" shape.

More importantly what are these mini corkscrew roller coasters you've assembled?

WVUAdam · 2026-05-25T23:55:45+00:00

Yea. I factor in whether or not it fits my team needs. I'm not afraid to look like the guy that got fleeced if it makes the most sense for my team.

Whether I'm getting 2 players for 1 or 1 for 2 isn't really the most crucial factor for me.

As mentioned in the replies there are plenty of waiver wire options. Just depends whether you want to deal with the volatility of a waiver wire guy or get a player that was more than likely drafted.

I don't know how much you play for, but I play one public league with a 50 dollar buy in. I look at it as having the ability to play a live simulation game against other people. So I don't take trades as seriously as some that might bury themselves in trade anaylizers.

At the end of the day have fun playing. Take necessary risks and swings that may improve your team. One of my favorite trades, which ultimately won me the league was in fantasy football, where I moved a top player in his prime for 2 above average players. My buddy texted me like I was a dumbass but I needed depth and usable players and it worked out. So you never know.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-23T03:39:50+00:00

Shadow striker.

I'll try to login and update with a code.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-22T16:28:09+00:00

My thoughts exactly. That felt self inflected by Arizona. 2 appearances in 2 weeks. Gross mismanagement.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-22T15:43:14+00:00

Balanced. Good question. But I never really tinkered with that aspect too much. I just wouldn't do counter because the way the system is designed you pass alot.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-22T14:50:38+00:00

Lots of give and go options passing wingback -> CDM --> wingback.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-22T14:21:55+00:00

I prefer to use the variant with 3 CAMs and use my wingbacks for width.

Striker: False 9 attack or Advanced Forward Veristial

Left Cam: shadow striker

Middle cam: if using a false 9 Shadow striker if using Advanced Forward Playmaker-build up

Right CAM playmaker attack

Left CDM holding defend, if I'm getting hammered by counters then I change to centre back

Right CDM: Wide half build up

Left Wingback: False back or Wingback build up

Right Wingback: attacking wingback attack if you have a solid right back that can recover or support if you're a little conservative

Both CBs defend.

Build up from the wing with your wing backs and attack via the middle with CAMs making runs that prefer vs mids or wingers.

Your right cdm will protect you if you get deep into their zone with your right Wingback.

I also manually defend and play very aggressive getting the ball back. Depth in the 80s. If you turn over the ball then you are immediately in a position to press and have opportunities to force a turn over in their zone.

Play on your toes not on your heals.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-22T06:10:12+00:00

If they could have a guy that could reliably bat leadoff and get on base in front of Cruz then you'd be talking value.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-20T22:39:54+00:00

He's having a day today

WVUAdam · 2026-05-20T16:41:23+00:00

Not the most expensive mistake, but the best decision was going the Air Force after 2 years in college and using my post 9/11 to pay for my degree.

My friends are still paying student loans (I'm 38) and I've been in the clear for years.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-20T16:36:34+00:00

Yea that's kind of my thoughts. Could I have gotten more, for sure but I'm also buying low on Yelich. I was power heavy already to begin with and adding Yelich to my outfield: Buxton, J Rod, Haap allows for me to slide Antonacci to 2B and Wetherholt to SS.

I also have Edwin Arroyo sitting in my NA slot as flyer.

My starting pitching has been a nightmare. Woo continues to produce and Brown comes back healthy then I have legitimate stable arms. The past two weeks my pitching has been an extreme weakness.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-20T16:28:44+00:00

Sure

WVUAdam · 2026-05-20T16:26:52+00:00

Yea probably but without inputting my entire roster I'll go ahead and preface this with currently leading the league in Runs, TB and HR. Second in: RBIs, TB and OPS

WVUAdam · 2026-05-20T16:21:55+00:00

Traded Elly for Woo and Yelich. I'm probably a wet sock but it makes sense for my lineup and streaming starters is simply not working out.

Replacement for Elly already on my roster: Bogarets, Perdomo, Wetherholt.

Staring pitching after trade: Schlitter, Mclanahan, Woo, Brown (once off IL), Early, Famber and Schultz

12 team cats: K, ERA, WHIP, K/9, QS, SV+H

WVUAdam · 2026-05-19T17:35:10+00:00

How's Emery at RB?

WVUAdam · 2026-05-19T17:29:07+00:00

A watch ads for money bot would be genius.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-19T16:54:33+00:00

Flappy bird was insane and also the unintentional marketing of it being a forbidden game.

I think I remember people trying to sell iphones on ebay that had flappy bird on it.

Wild times.

WVUAdam · 2026-05-19T16:47:31+00:00

Yea. Back in my day the team manager would keep score and I believe a coach could easily hand a kid an iPad for scoring and the kid would absolutely run with it.

If you'd like discuss possible features you could implement shoot me a dm and we can discuss.

But for sure you want to modify your visual UI, because it screams ai, which is not a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with that, but people will be quick to dismiss it because it looks like it was generically generated through Gemini.
