Re: Andrew Miller

Giolito's "stuff" not performing as expected, at least this year. if he was throwing as expected it would cost alot more than andrew miller. the yankees can afford to go out and buy the next break out RP who could be as good as miller, but they are going to have a really hard time finding someone a...

Re: Player nicknames

sure.. i got Triple F or FFF.....for Fat F#ck Fielder.... also known affectionately as Fatty if he happens to get a hit which is rare.

I hate andrew cashner's beard and frankly his pitching so i refer to him as White Trash Cash.

But in general... "Loser" is what most of my team goes by.

Re: New York Fantasy Sports Legislation

while on the subject. i have never been able to understand why STATS is bothering to count LF, RF, and CF games played (or appeared at) as opposed to just OF games played. Are there NFBC leagues where this info is important? I just picked up Paredes this week and while seeing where he stands on game...

Re: Free speech be damned --- Curt Schilling fired

Obama was the best President of my lifetime, but I don't view him as much of progressive . The people who believe he is flawless give him credit for things like nominating a moderate Supreme Court Justice to put pressure on the Republicans. The truth is Obama likes Merrick Garland and his support o...

Re: Let's revisit Friday lineup changes for P

Okay here is one more example of why we need a change in the current procedures.... Archie Bradley (AZ) was placed on the 15-day DL Thursday with right shoulder tendinitis. Robbie Ray was called up from Triple-A to start Thursday's game, essentially taking Bradley's spot in the D-Backs' rotation. S...

Re: Lester

Lester is a slow starter every year out so i think its a bit early to be jumping ship or calling him out as draft bust. now im not sure anyone but theo would disagree that financially he will probably be a big burden to the cubs down the line. his intangibles, like his incredible work ethic, were wo...

Re: Accurate ADP by position

Is there someplace I can find the March 1st forward ADP listed by position? If I try to do this on the current ADP list it is not accurate. Billy Butler does not show up on the first base list for example. It gets very confusing. I was hoping there is some place that I can gather that info. Thank y...
