Re: Trevor Bauer - can he be Cut?

Greg, I can see how adding a superstar to the FA pool can be perceived as an unfair advantage to the team that gets him but I question how much that one player would really impact the overall standings. Has there ever been a season where a superstar was cut and picked up as a FA and as a result adve...

Re: Trevor Bauer - can he be Cut?

Chthroop, if the person was "giving up/checking out" he would just leave Bauer on his roster.

Re: Trevor Bauer - can he be Cut?

Greg, what is the rationale for pulling a superstar, who is dropped, from the free agent pool? With blind free agent bidding, it seems to me that every team in that league would have a fair chance to pick up the player. Once the player is rostered, there's no guarantee the player will continue to pe...

Re: Team/Player Lineup Deadlines

I would argue that it's already a volume game. In addition to trying to get more wins and Ks, we're trying to get more HRs, RBIs, etc. Streaming pitchers MAY help you get more wins and Ks but it MAY also be at the expense of ERA and WHIP. With 7 bench spots, if someone wants to load up on 7 pitchers...

Re: Team/Player Lineup Deadlines

Dan, you mentioned replacing a closer with a starter on Friday as another idea, which I agree with. I don't understand the logic that we can swap out hitters but not pitchers on Fridays. Why is streaming pitchers frowned upon if everybody is playing by the same rules?

Re: OFFICIALLY CANCELLED: 2021 NFBC Solo Shot

The 2nd place overall prize for the NFBC 50s is a free entry in next year's solo shot. So, would you then award a $1,000 credit to be used in any contest?

Re: Drafting Without Making a Pick

Perhaps it's an experiment to illustrate the randomness of a 60-game season. If his auto-drafted team finishes in the money, he can make the point that you can have a computer make your picks in a shortened season and still do well in the standings.

Re: DRAFT!

Dan, I agree with you on pitching. I don't see the rationale to devalue starters in a 60 game season. At the end of the day, nobody really knows how players will perform and managers will manage in a shortened season. My thinking is not to overanalyze and predict what could be and draft projected t...

Re: Rotowire Sprint Online Championship Format

The original contest with a $350 entry fee and an overall prize of $125,000 was very attractive. At the moment, I don't think I'd be interested in this contest unless the overall prize was in the $75,000-$100,000 range. I don't think with the current price points and the time available to draft you'...

I had a co-worker in the baseball card industry who had Yogi-isms spew out of his mouth faster than Yogi could.

Re: The Challenge of 2020

Well said! I would think everyone would see a 60 game season as a challenge (but apparently not). If prize money is guaranteed from prior drafts, what's the difference if you win money in a shortened season?
