Road to Glory: Blowout Dynasty League ($25 yearly)

[Bosox34]

If anyone is interested in the best hitter in Fantasy Baseball right now (Eric Thames) or just wants to make a deal for another one of my players, PM me!

[Hollywood42]

Lots of people still haven't set their trading block in the league- Please do so when you have a minute. Makes it much easier to start trade discussions

[Hollywood42]

Trey Mancini is on a prospect roster, so I undid the transaction for the team that just added him

[Hollywood42]

Now that we're a few weeks into the year, thought I'd look back at my preseason power rankings and compare to our current standings. My preseason rankings were based individually on hitting or pitching, so might not exactly match up

Current rankings:

1. Cornerstore- Preseason bat rank- 5. Preseason pitch rank- 4
2. todderfield- Bat- 10. Pitch- 1
3. julusnc- Bat- 3. Pitch- 11
4. Bosox34- Bat- 2. Pitch- 3
5. Hollywood- Bat- 7. Pitch- 2
6. Sportscards515- Bat- 8. Pitch- 6
7. silverandblack- Bat- 12. Pitch- 9
8. Highroller- Bat- 4. Pitch- 5
9. Firerunner- Bat- 9. Pitch- 8
10. bshea- Bat- 6. Pitch- 10
11. Dbacksbaseball- Bat- 11. Pitch- 7
12. HOFAutoRookies- Bat- 7. Pitch- 12

I'll go more in depth later on but looks like many of my rankings were pretty good so far

[Highroller]

Need to get my guys back off the DL, need to keep my head above water until then.

[Bosox34]

Eric Thames is something else, 10 homers now on the season!

[Hollywood42]

Martinez
Beltre
Ross
Rodon
Richards
Odorizzi
Nola

All on the DL. Unreal

[Hollywood42]

It's Bellinger time!

[Bosox34]

Obviously the projections are almost unheard of, but Eric Thames is on pace to hit 81 homers as he hit #11 tonight. This dude is an absolute beast!!!

[Hollywood42]

So Hahn was a nice stream today

[Dbacksbaseball]

Finally my guys are starting to play....putting together a decent week and then Fernando Rodney happens. -24!

[Hollywood42]

I have 5 pitchers on the DL, a 6th likely headed there soon, and a 7th that's day to day... I need to make a trade or two. Send over some offers or PM me who you like and who from your team is available

[todderfield]

sighs injuries hitting my pitching staff, my backbone..... baum, then felix.... now thor.

[Hollywood42]

Damn, didn't have much confidence in Matt Moore today, so left him on the bench... Missed 27 points. Hopefully this doesn't come back to haunt me. I think I have 3 losses already this year between 2 leagues that I could have won if I had made 1 different sit/start decision on a SP

[Cornerstore]

Eaton out for year now... im glad souza is playing well to be that third outfielder but that one hurts

[julusnc]

This has all been a learning experience so far this season. So many hurt all-stars. I wish I had taken another player instead of Dahl when I did. It seems that is my most glaring error. Maybe not stocking a couple of draft picks makes my team weaker..... I am all ears on trades. If I were to trade Sale it would need to be a great keeper or a couple of good ones.

[Bosox34]

What a game for Anthony Rendon!!! 6-6 with 3 Homers, 10 RBIs! Would've been a 4th homer (Grand Slam) had that 3 Run Double got about half a foot higher.

[Hollywood42]

Gah... I'm going to come up just short this week. So many of my SPs are hurt... Really need to trade for one or two of them, please send me some offers!

[todderfield]

down goes thor...

[Dbacksbaseball]

Great battle this week BoSox. Real good week for both of us but looks like I'm going to wear it again. Great day by Rendon put you over the top!

Yeah man I was just about to give you a lot of props, you put up quite the battle this week. It is always matchups like these that are the most exciting because we were going neck and neck all the way to the end. My team for the most part did not perform that well this week, however I was extremely lucky and fortunate that Rendon had a monster game tonight and that Fernando Rodney blew 2 saves

Yup +39 and a W if I just sit Rodney. It happens. Finally feel like my team is starting to come around a little, have picked up a few more young under the radar arms as well to max out starts.

I thought your guys overall had a real good week. Getting over 300 is solid. Think you were 2nd highest this week. See ya again in 11 weeks

[Hollywood42]

Not trying to discredit solid weeks from you guys, but points seemed down across the board last week. Only 4 teams scored higher than 300 last week with a high of 360, whereas in week 3 there were 5 teams scoring over 300 (including 2 over 400), with a high of 415. In week 2, there were 6 teams with above 300 points, high of 361. Just something I noticed since both my team and my opponents were fairly low on points last week despite having a combined record of 5-1 at the time. I have a ton of guys hurt right now (EIGHT guys on the DL), so that helps explain part of it for me, but curious to look deeper and see why other teams didn't put up a ton of points last week either

My hitting was phenomenal, pitching not so much. I guess this week there were just a lot of mediocre outings by pitchers

[Cornerstore]

I think one thing the teams 2-2 and up are doing more so then the other group is checking daily hitting and putting those in who are playing/out who are not. Maybe a impact - maybe not

if you look at record vs # of activates
corner - 127
juicers - 97
schwartz - 83
monsters - 100
whates - 149
rizzo - 37
highroller - 125
silverblack - 87

those 1-3 and below
al - 70
spring training - 72
wongs - 93
nider - 36
