philliesphan18 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hmmm... I think I recall seeing a dynasty titled like this before... now where do I remember that from?!? - No, it's okay, I don't mind. Good luck in your dynasty, and I hope you don't have as many problems as I had with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliesphan18 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 man all these trades before the 1st game? makes me wanna cryIt's not your dynasty. Whatever keeps the person interested long enough to keep the dynasty going is what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 You released Joe Nathan? :chin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbar Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 I released Joe Nathen because I could keep Crain and Neshek. Their contracts together don't add up to Nathen's 5.1 million or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Personally I would have traded Nathan if you didn't want him. He should have some value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbar Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 He may have some value, but my minors are stacked with pitchers. By the way, Twins have the best farm system if you look at pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Did you trade Ramon Ortiz for Phil Hughes straight up, with fair trades on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 It's not your dynasty. Whatever keeps the person interested long enough to keep the dynasty going is what it takes. you know I'm aware of that and I don't make comment like that in every single dynasty. But if the guy makes so many moves like that he should just have started a Expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm not trying to slam your posting, sorry if my post came over that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbar Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 To answer the question of using fair trades, most I did use fair trades on. A couple (such as Phil Hughs) I did not use fair trades on. The reason I didn't do expansion was the minors and a some players that I liked. Those players are Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer, Tori Hunter, Johan Santana, and Michael Cuddyer. If you ask me, the Minnesota Twins have the best team in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me, the Minnesota Twins have the best team in baseball. Living in Minnesota, and being a life-long Twins fan, I would say the Twins have a good team. By far not the best team in baseball. If you're talking about your dynasty, maybe (though I still don't think so). If you're talking about the real life Twins, certainly not. There's no way that we're the best team in the Major Leagues. However, come next season, it may not be a stretch to say that. Santana, Liriano, Garza in the rotation, Nathan closing. Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer in the lineup. But not this season.

flatbar Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 I played a some games before I decided to make this dynasty on MVPMODS, so I am not starting at the top of my rotation. By the way my injuries so far are Adam Greenberg and Johan Santana with an inflamed right shoulder. If you didn't watch Sportcenter this one time, they had a special on Adam Greenberg. Playing against the Marlins, he had just been called up. First at bat in the majors, hit in the head by a pitch. He bounced back up in to the minors, but kept on getting relapses from the concusion he had. He was released eventually, but the royals signed him to a AA contract. I am a real underdog person so that is why I traded for him. All of you who have dynastys might want to look into him. He is actually an ok player.

I do agree with you that they might not be to full potental this year. But this team does have the one of the best farm systems and will have one of the best futures in the league.

flatbar Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hello, Quick question before I post my first game. How do I insert the photos into the forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 It actually depends on where you are uploading these files. If you are using either ImageShack or Photobucket, they provide you with a forum link that you can just copy and paste for the pics to show up.
