This being my first sim league ever, I know I've probably made a lot of them.

Just go through your "team history" and see how many future stars/starters you gave up.

#43 Bruce "Cadillac" Rybicki, Designated Hitter, 33 yrs, Texas Rangers - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#34 William Swader, Shortstop, 33 yrs, Chicago (N) Cubs - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#78 Chuck Bumgardner, Reliever, 36 yrs, St. Louis Cardinals - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#56 Jared Sanor, Starting Pitcher, 29 yrs, Pittsburgh Pirates - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#38 Florencio "Rabbit" Preciado, Starting Pitcher, 23 yrs, Chicago (A) White Sox - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#81 Timo "Dr. Destiny" Criado, Reliever, 32 yrs, Texas Rangers - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#97 Fede Carrion, Second Base, 34 yrs, Detroit Tigers - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#64 John McKee, Starting Pitcher, 35 yrs, Detroit Tigers - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#38 Gil "Music Man" Davila, Starting Pitcher, 32 yrs, Cincinnati Reds - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#23 Wesley Chalmers, Shortstop, 32 yrs, San Francisco Giants - Out of the Park Baseball Report

I think Sanor bugs me the most, because he hadn't developed a point since being drafted and was nearly 26 when I dealt him. He had to of been like, 4-6-5 or some shit at that time.

Preciado would hurt more if he wasn't on Bwitty's team.

Rybicki stings.

The rest suck too. Some more than others... but hey, atleast I kept Bernal Valverde all of these years.

[General]

Wayne Hage. He was sux when I traded him for a rental catcher (Rene Rivera) and the sim that I traded him, he turned into a future HOFer...talent went to 10-10-10 and his actuals increased from like 2-3-3 to 7-6-7 or something like that.

Rene Rivera!

I'll give you Rene Rivera for Escalona.



When I traded Rybicki-- probably the worst of any of my deals, I think I got Belizario in return... and he had 3 or 4 good years with my team, and I think I made the playoffs atleast twice with him on my team. The only two times I've ever made it in S3SL I think... unless I won the wild card twice...

[OrioleMagic]

Off the top of my head... I sent McCarthy to General and General gave him steroids and he boosted from a 4.0 SP spec to a Cy Young contender/winner.

Butera to Oakland should have been a mistake, but Butera's ratings are far better than his stats.

Louis Bator to LAD shouldn't be a mistake since I got Crouch in return, but since I seem to be just not good enough for the WC... It was a mistake.

Kudos to KoZ for rehabilitating Sixto "Beer Barrell Belly" DeStefano. I wish NOW that I didn't trade him, but at the time and up until this year... It was a good trade.

What I have learned from this thread is how bad my first round picks have declined almost EVERY one... Why I ask? WHY!?!?!

I love you Hage

I found one of your mistakes
#89 Ryan Setser, Second Base, 29 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report

Best player I've acquired in a trade, I think...

actually wait:

#14 Luis Reyes, Third Base, 28 yrs, Oakland Athletics - Out of the Park Baseball Report
He's lead the AL in hits 3 straight seasons since I acquired him, but I remember paying a pretty high price to bring him in... dunno how much the guy I sent albbla's way has developed though.

[Saber]

Christopher Shrout

[nick]

Jose Muecke!

[Porter]

#39 Ramon "Hillbilly" Crespo, Starting Pitcher, 32 yrs, Baltimore Orioles - Out of the Park Baseball Report

Dam just rolled over in his grave. Financial reasons caused me to trade him to Houston but I wouldn't have the run I'm having now without him.

McCarthy was a 5.0 when you traded him. He was 7-8-7 or 7-8-8, can't remember, but he wasn't spectacular.

[General]

Hey, I gave Chalmers away too, Nick!

[Saber]

I thought I did pretty good trading for Muecke.

So did Hammer.

Thanks for that.
