Re: Roasting Mediocrity on a Hot Stove
you just can't tell me that boras doesn't pay some of these writers to write about these offers- but then again- maybe he doesn't. maybe he just calls them and makes it up. either way- forget trump- baseball really is the home of fake news. ALSO- boy am i glad i don't bet football anymore- if i had ...

Re: Drafting, Injury, and Anticipation of Continuation
i think yankee management reverse engineered that dismissal. joe pissed off one of the steinbrenners and they decided to fire him- then came up with those reasons. "too intense" ya- right. it is new york- everyone is intense. doesn't get analytics- please- he went to northwestern. george must be rol...

Re: Drafting, Injury, and Anticipation of Continuation
Dear Dan, AKA Doughboys. To play "professionally" means to get paid. I began my professional career after the June 2014 draft. I played in 69 games- about 85% of the games available to play. In 2015 I played in 143- over 90% of those available. In 2016 I played 156- virtually 100% of the games avail...

Re: Something to think about!
right now jason heyward has the worst lefty swing i have ever seen. not only does he hit a ton of ground balls - he has the 6th highest pop up rate in baseball. so the braves need another average outfielder? maybe they can platoon heyward and kemp. kemp can hit and heyward can play right field. the ...

Re: Something to think about!
so didi is good offense- average d? sounds like jeter. man- that evaluation of the yankees is about as harsh as i have seen. to me they have a really good lineup. pretty good starting pitching and the best bullpen in baseball. it could be worse, they could have paid 350 million for carl crawford and...

Re: 1961 and 2017
ya- i don't i don't like defensive war at all. but offensive war lines up pretty well. the 1st group are outfielders with higher war than andre dawson- the all time out maker. the second group along with the 1st has a higher war than jim rice. chet lemmon for example was a much better baseball playe...

Re: 1961 and 2017
to see how much YOU know- and keep in mind that you forgot the boston media- pinson maybe should be in the hall- but what do these OF"S have in common? andre jones, carlos beltran, larry walker, jim edmonds, dwight evans, kenny lofton, and gary sheffield. and then add these for answer #2 luis s gonz...

Re: PreMature Draft 2018
I took pham. in this really early draft I will take a "heart" pick because you can make up for 1 bust with our 1st free agent period because there will be about 8 really good players available that none of us saw as starters at this point. travis shaw was one of those guys last year because of the t...

Re: PreMature Draft 2018
plenty of guys could be in that 5th round- but man the hitting and pitching is pretty flat. an aside- i love kershaw in fantasy- but has there ever been such a great pitcher so bad in the playoffs. he is literally a #4 starter on an average team in the playoffs. most of the stud pitchers i remember ...

Re: PreMature Draft 2018
year after year- i just love the ny/boston bias on the boards. when guys on those teams have great years- the east coasters thrive. when they don't-not so much. i would be very very wary of sale. the white sox had him dialing it back a bit but this year looked like max effort. we will see what happe...

play till the end, try till the end. at the least-it might help you get more practice for when it really counts.

Re: Said and Never Said....
it depends on how much fair market value is on that ring. you can't just give someone a gift of any amount and have it not be taxed. for example if edward kings sent you 1 million bags of doritos- you might owe some taxes- if caught.

nice try dan. we all know you saw most of those guys!.

THEIR choice= willy randolph. a runner up? Shoe less Jo...
