Regarding the first round of a redraft...last comment.  It is not full of player 26 level players.  You cannot compare Jazz to a 26th player.  Every year we have new talent entering the league through the redraft.  Perfect example:  Maybe two years ago or three, I bought a bad team to rebuild.  I drafted Langford, Caminero and Merrill in the first round.  The sad part is I could have drafted Skenes with 1.2 but the team badly needed offense.  1.1 was Yamamoto.  Merrill was someone's cut and kicked ass his first year. I'd take Skenes, Yamamoto or Caminero over Jazz every time.   

That is my last public message on this issue.  Good luck everyone.  

Thh Fri Jun 26 12:21pm ET

Nate, 

You wrote that the picks F the D got would allow him to draft be other people's cuts. I gave you good examples of solid players I like and where they were drafted in a redraft this year to show there is plenty of significant value out there.  If F the D drafts well, he can pick up three solid players for Jazz.    

Last year, you and probably others would have made the same complaint if you replaced Tatis for Chisholm.  Or even Gunner Henderson who has been struggling for a season and a half now by his standards.  There are many examples, whether due to injury or poor performance. Jazz happens to have injury history almost every year. Look at Guerrero the past season and a half.  He is supposed to be a superstar offensive performer who is not in the top overall hitter class he should be in terms of production.  Maybe he will hit 25HR in the second half...or maybe just another 4.  None of us know.  

Good luck to you.  Know that I respect your opinion but just don't agree it is a slam dunk bad trade. I've made good arguments.  If you want more dialogue, let's do it in a private message at this point.  I love a good debate about fantasy baseball.

F the D is getting three players for one. Sum of parts. What is the point of having Jazz and never fielding a winning team? Miguel Vargas (5th round) is leading Jazz in 4 of 5 categories. I targeted him and Muncy for the first 5 rounds of the redraft in the example I gave. Maybe some luck there and maybe not. I have lots of Vargas on my teams.... and many others

When did I ever say I'd trade a 2nd and 3rd round for garbage players? I said trading a 2nd and 3rd round for Jazz is crazy. I'd gladly trade you my 2nd and 3rd for someone of Jazz's level. You willing to do that? I didn't think so bud.

OK Nate and others.  I'll do this once...maybe twice when I have time.  I happen to be very successful winning money in these dynasty leagues, despite how this particular team is doing, thus the 18 teams I have and learning the hard way that I cannot handle so many (doubled in the last two years with winnings only).  A good redraft is a big part of success.  Here are examples from a league I won last year for this year's redraft.  12 team $125.  Read the list...enough said (written 😊).  

This doesn't include some very good young rookie major leaguers or MLB ready players many of us would like in our own pipeline.  Exception is Kade Anderson close to MLB, is fresh out of college and looks like he may be the best pitching prospect since Skenes.

First round omitted.  ***Also, with those 2nd round picks, F the D can likely trade up into the first round with 2nd round picks to spare if he tries.  1st round always has good options.  Best examples:

2.2 Early

2.4 K Anderson

2.8 Muncy

2.10 Dominguez (12 saves)

4.1 B Ashcraft

4.3 May

5.10 C Walker

5.11 M Vargas (I’ve been happy to pick him up this late in several redrafts) 😊

6.4 Soriano (Ridiculous first two months)

6.7 Melton

8.4 Messick

8.11 Detmers

9.3 Jung

9.11 Harrison

...and more

 

You're only proving my point bud. Not a single player there is anywhere close to Chisholm. And u still have to get lucky to even get one of them.

The league does not monitor trades. The only way to get one reversed is to message the commish. This is a really bad start to our dynasty league guys.

We keep 3 benches so you're talking someone's 4th bench spot or worse for jazz chisholm lol. Tell me how thats anywhere close to the same value? Please explain it to me bud.

The Minnesota Tins Thu Jun 25 12:32pm ET
I’m fine with the trade, we just need you to know you could’ve gotten a lot more. Going forward we can’t have too many more trades like this because it will completely destroy the competitive balance of the league. You probably should’ve gotten those picks and another top 100 player.

Jazz is only 28 he's not an old veteran u trade for picks. 2027 2nds will be someone's drops lol.

Nate's Dynasty6 Thu Jun 25 11:40am ET

I'm messaging the commish for a reversal. Jazz was a 2nd round startup pick. A 2nd in 2027 is equivalent to a round 25 startup pick. That's not close at all.

The Minnesota Tins Thu Jun 25 11:09am ET
Shouldn’t be reversed but that is a WILD undersell

Thh Wed Apr 15 1:34pm ET
Agreed...well stated caps and sleeves. Couldn't say it any better than that.
We Wear Caps and Sleeves Wed Apr 15 12:43pm ET

I don’t think the trade should be reversed. That should happen only in egregious situations or when collusion is involved. I think Wood should fetch more than Bubic, but everyone’s opinion is different. I don’t fault any owner hitting the accept button getting Wood. I also wish I would’ve trusted my gut and ranked Bubic higher this year and I didn’t, so there’s that, too.

The Minnesota Tins Wed Apr 15 12:30pm ET
You know it’s bad when James Dinielli isn’t even chirping to defend it. He’s just quietly sitting there knowing he got a steal. And you know what? I respect the hustle James. Good for you.
Thh Wed Apr 15 12:21pm ET
Agreed Minnesota
Thh Wed Apr 15 12:20pm ET
Still shocked by that trade when adding in risk. I slyly never do it, as clearly many of us wouldn't. But, if Bubic is in top 5 or so in AL Cy Young and stays healthy for three years, it is not a bad trade. What if Wood pulls an Acuna? While i stick with my F**king f**k comment, this should not be reversed in my opinion.
The Minnesota Tins Wed Apr 15 12:18pm ET
It’s less about where they were drafted and more about this guy constantly making horrible trades the ruin the competitive balance of every league he’s in.
Thh Wed Apr 15 12:16pm ET
I haven't found a better option. Draft positioning sucks when you have a clear turd in last place and end up with the 5th pick. RTS pays quickly, which is great.

Regarding 3rd for 16th. That is irrelevant. It is about production. Example, I got Raleigh last year in the tenth round twice. As a catcher he is a top ten offensive player. I can find many examples. That being true, Bubic is currently worth much higher than a 16th round pick.
Nate's Dynasty6 Wed Apr 15 12:06pm ET

Yeah a round 3 pick for round 16 lol. There's definitely something going on in this league. There's been a lot of crazy stuff already. Unfortunately RTS lets a lot of shit happen, it's really not the best site for fantasy. Next year I'll be exploring some other options for sure.

The Minnesota Tins Wed Apr 15 11:55am ET
I messaged RTS, they will not reverse that but Packer/DASH is now on admin watch. All trades he makes will need to be approved by admin moving forward.
