That's funny. I look at rotoworld amongst other news services. My biggest pet peeve on reading news, is when they offer the most obvious advice possible like "fill in the blank" superstar is on fire and should be started in all leagues this week. Duh. Here's one from the CBS website under Carlos Bel...

I can't see Hanson staying down there much longer the way he's pitching. I understand at the moment there doesn't seem to be much of an opening, but this guy is Crazy good. As soon as there's an inkling of an opening come June 1st or later, he'll get brought up. He's a man amongst boys in AAA right ...

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: I just took a moment to see what I left on the table by using an extra reliever for five weeks of the first six of the contest (I used seven starters one of the weeks). If I used the best start(s) of the starters on the reserve roster, over those five weeks, and l...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko II: quote:Originally posted by Crazy Like a Fox: The funniest part about this Gekko, is that you are showing one of the bigger fantasy mistakes, you talk up your struggling player so much, you'll end up keeping him longer than you ever should. nah, i'm showing patie...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko II: Snell’s peripherals are nowhere close to Balnton’s. Please. I think some of you guys babble, just to babble. Go ahead and pick up Cahill and others like him. On one side we have: Shawn Childs & Gordon Gekko & Todd Zola On the other side we have: Crazy & Dub & ot...

Originally posted by G-X: Got him in 2 of my 3 leagues.... $27 in the main and $52 in my satellite.... didn't come close in my online championship team. One thing I've noticed in the online championship so far. You can get fairly solid players for very cheap with a lot of time not getting one compet...

"Mauer with power" .423-6-16-12 runs - in only 14 games. To put this into perspective.....ok, I can't. This is ridiculous. Maybe they should think about giving him extra offseason time from now on. Every game he does something for his team. The most homers he's ever had in a half (7 in 76 games and ...

I guess all these stats are "contrary" to an alarming trend here for Blanton. Horrible last year, horrible this year, next year, he'll be more a study of who not to draft instead of sabermetrics. How's that for analysis? And it really didn't take much thought. I'm not sure why he was intriguing for ...

Originally posted by Scott Boras: What if McLouth fails to play 145 games and STILL beats holliday in 4 out of 5 cats? That would be funny as Crazy's out clause would cost him a bet he would have otherwise won. It's still a little early either way. Maybe Holliday gets traded back to Colorado in July...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Crazy like a Fox and I do not get along. He thinks me arrogant, I think of him as small for calling names and taking insults about players that he thinks highly of, personal. We'll co-exist one way or the other. Anyway,we made a bet earlier this year that McLouth woul...

Originally posted by NorCalAtlFan: edmonds doesn't belong in the same sentence as hunter. tremendous catch in anaheim, but after that, was just a bunch of fluff. a jones and hunter for this generation. hunter with more agility, but aj was always in perfect position and had the best instincts of anyo...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS:

Another statistical oddity. Jordan Schafer has had 106 at bats. He has knocked himself in twice on home runs, he has knocked in one teammate. He sounds like such a selfish player.

0 walks in 115 at-bats. :eek: Wow. If I'm the pitcher in a full count I'm thinking, either strikeout or hit, don't throw it anywhere near the plate. .287 batting average .286 on-base percentage Anybody have any stats on the lowest walks ever for a batter? Another anamoly is Jordan's Schafer's K's. A...

Originally posted by rkulaski: great thread. only in the nfbc do you get some serious debate about blanton. 3 Sunday comments: 1. Nolasco owners must feel the "most unlucky" to this point. Blanton might have costed a team a pick in rd 23 but Nolasco went at high as the 8th rd at the main. Regression...

Originally posted by Quahogs:

not at all crazy. Actually the guy has shown a lot of fortitude to keep at it after all he's been through. It's just an animal I found with a cast. I know, I was kidding. It was a reference to the cat.



But still amazing that you could read through the asterisks.
