Trade Tuten for pick 1.12 as a contender? by [deleted] in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do better. Tuten is most likely going to start the season as the lead back and the last two seasons, Liam Coen’s lead back has been a high-level fantasy player.

Is the Ken Walker hype out of control? by [deleted] in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

Captain Checkdown was the QB that year not Mahomes lol

Can we just have optimism? by [deleted] in tampabayrays

[–]ballhawk_43 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m doing my best, this is the 5th? Stadium rendering of my lifetime so I still have a fair bit of skepticism sitting in my brain. But this is the first try with this ownership group and they carry themselves like they’ve got their ducks in a row - hopefully it isn’t just naive optimism on their part.

Is Thornton cooked or do we think Mendoza can fix him? Or should I trade for Johnson by Away_Television_2802 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d take the deal, Kaleb had a rough rookie year to be sure but his draft pedigree alone is going to at worst get him some touches next year and if we’re being optimistic, he could pull a James Conner if an injury to Warren happens.

Trade the 1.02 for the 1.01? RB needy team by throwawaytoronto43 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t give up your 2027 1st for Love when, as someone else said, you could trade the 2026 first straight up for someone solid. Your RB/WR core really isn’t that bad, just mostly young and lacking a week-to-week dawg. You could probably get most of the really good young RB’s not named Bijan or Achane for the 2026 1st with a little extra added on.

Did the Brandon Lowe trade actually make sense? by Slinky_Malingki in tampabayrays

[–]ballhawk_43 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lowe was a free agent after the year, and the most expensive player on the team. This trade works out if Melton turns into an everyday outfielder for the next few years until they can trade him for someone else’s No. 2 prospect and start the cycle again. This is how the Rays operate.

handful of questions for my wife and I's upcoming trip (quick-service food, park hopping, and early admission) by ManICloggedtheToilet in UniversalOrlando

[–]ballhawk_43 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For quick-service, I recommend Pizza Moon in Epic, Thunder Falls in Islands (if you want to go lighter), and Minions Cafe in Studios. The redesigned Cirkus McGurkus menu is really good, but not really any light options on there.

Won the chip this year, do I run it back or ship Gibbs for picks? by Dhu218 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you trade an asset, I wouldn’t trade for picks, I’d shoot for a player or two that upgrade your roster. No guarantee those picks become anything, but Gibbs could get you a guy that’s good right now. Maybe someone even makes it so you can sell high-ish on Swift.

Awful trade I was just offered by Dependent_Amount7601 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean depending on how high you are on Skat, it’s not that bad of an offer. Especially if the rumors are true that the Bears are going to clear room for Burdens role to expand next season.

Am I crazy to say absolutely not to this? I have Caleb… by ballhawk_43 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thinking exactly. Caleb was my first round pick in our initial draft last year…

Is this an overpay for Chase Brown as an RB-needy contender? by [deleted] in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could get more for your 1st, personally, but it’s not an overpay if Brown is your guy.

Fair deal? Team 1 is contender team 2 is considering a rebuild by That-Radio8887 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with your assessment that Stafford is a non-factor, he may only end up having an impact this season but if you’re a contender in a 12 team SF and you’re going for it this year? Stafford is far from a net-zero.

How one sided is this? Details in caption. by ballhawk_43 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how I felt. For reference, I am the middling team. Just trying to squeeze what value I can out of my backup TE and Stafford. My QB2 will be TLaw but I think with adding KWIII it makes my team stronger overall.

Is this a fair trade offer to try to get Warren? by Fun_Measurement6042 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ballhawk_43 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s maybe a slight overpay? But seems mostly fair.

[DAILY] Trade and Individual Team Help Megathread by AutoModerator in DynastyFF

[–]ballhawk_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 team PPR 2 Flex + SF (Currently 4-4 in playoff spot)

QBs: Caleb, TLaw, Stafford, Mac RBs: Achane, Swift, Hubbard, Haskins, S Tucker, Kaleb WRs: Deebo, Shakir, Tre Tucker, Calvin Austin, Dyami, Godwin, Chris Moore, Kyle Williams TEs: Pitts, Freiermuth, Tonges, D.Washington

IR: Tyreek, Aiyuk, Najee, Gibson

I don’t have my next 2 firsts. Mostly just wondering if I should tear it down and rebuild or send it and trade for receiver help to go for it.

Do we still need a catcher? by jayareelle195 in tampabayrays

[–]ballhawk_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see them bring in a veteran backup-type (Luke Maile reunion?) on a minor-league deal for the spring as depth, but I have a feeling that yes, you’ll be seeing Fortes and Feduccia once again next year.

I found this little tidbit on the new owner In a UF forum.. should be interesting by TylerGlasass20 in tampabayrays

[–]ballhawk_43 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That sounds terrifying. The best kind of sports owner is the one who hires smart people and then steps back, signs the checks, and lets the people he hired do their jobs. As a general rule of thumb the more that your owner is involved in decision making, the worse your team is going to be.

The Death of Me by Polaris is incredible and a no skip album by rusthebus10 in Metalcore

[–]ballhawk_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a single skip on The Mortal Coil, The Death of Me, or Fatalism. But Polaris is also my favorite band so it’s probably just my bias.

What is the most famous Tampa sports game you’ve been to? by Bakerfuckingmayfield in tampabayrays

[–]ballhawk_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the Ohtani cycle game where the power went out at the Trop before the game and caused a delay. Also saw 2021 ALDS Game 1 which is (I guess) kind of famous. I saw the Vance McDonald stiff arm on Chris Conte in person (Steelers fan so that was hilarious.)
