Hitting .165 on the year and slugging .297

OPS of .604

Is this guy done, or is it just a slow start?

Rich Hill avoids the DL this year and wins 18 games with solid ratios. Gabe Kapler is fired before the all-star break Josh Donaldson has a superb year until his season comes to an abrupt end after getting punched in the face by Rougned Odor Justin Smoak out performs his breakout season from last ye...

Yes - definitely interested in early auctions as the auctions are a much more fun way to draft.

One of my favorite Doughboys write-ups.

I read Martin's biography and remember reading about that fight at the Copa.
Interesting how the times have changed.
And Kudo's to Eckersley for calling it like he sees it.

If I had to guess on whether the ball is juiced or the players are juiced "again" (with top of the line masking agents), I'm going with the latter . . . and willing to bet a decent amount of money on it. I agree with this, and one thing comes to mind. The quality of the pitching seems to worse than...

Smoak has to be the biggest surprise on this list. He's headed for a monster season after never really being even an average hitter in the past. Is he juicing? Who knows.

I'll give you another huge surprise.....Tanaka. What is wrong with this guy?

This guy is headed for one of the great reliever seasons of all time.

Joey Gallo continues to smoke the ball, up to 11 home runs, and he's contributing in every area except.....batting avg, where he sits just above the Mendoza line at .205.

What do you guys think the Rangers are going to do with him when Beltre is ready to play again?

I promosed a 'Best Team' for today. I don't know weather it is the perfect team, but it would certainly be number one in the Main Event Overall right now. Lets have a look. I've pretty much stopped caring and commenting about the spelling/grammatical errors in Dan's posts but the one today made me ...

Think your fantasy team is bad? Are you feeling down because of too many injuries or under performance? Let's help you out! Three weeks into the season and drafting out of the eighth spot, I will build a team that is worse than yours. It's a mindless draft, meaning that all picks have to be adp-dri...

Can't we all just get along?

Special song dedication for anyone who drafted both Bumgarner and Marte., round 1 and 2. Do yourself a favor and avoid any form of risk taking for a while.

The real problem here is that it could be just about anyone who is juicing. Maybe Dallas Keuchel is juicing this year as his numbers are obscene. Maybe Andrew McCutchen decides he needs to juice to get his numbers back up to previous levels. Maybe it's player X or player Y, a scrub, or a star, on a ...

LOL good stuff

Steve "Nobody" Jeltz would have been a fine candidate for this league.

Spring training announcers are already getting on my nerves. I know, I know...they are paid by their teams. They are getting paid to promote their own teams. At the same time, sounding like an agent for every player gets tiresome. Here are a few examples... "His stuff in undeniable! He has been one...

1970 is before my time....I was an infant.

But I will give you 1980 instead......all of the opening day lineups!

In case anyone forgot, the Phillies won it in 1980.

Hope you are right on Tanaka, Mark. My plan going into my auction draft was to spend whatever it took to get Darvish and Tanaka, and then let the rest of the chips fall where they may. I did get both guys....now they have to produce.

$16 -- or half what I paid for Darvish

I'm far from the auction expert myself. I have 2 major holes on my AL only auction team, at 3B and SS. My pitching staff is very good but full of gambles -- like ChipChop I also have Price, as well as Tanaka and Darvish. The starting staff will give me a shot but I need luck on my side as well, as d...

I'll second that one, GG

Twitter is not bad though....

The only 3 givens in life: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Every year there are a few bad drafters, and every year, the same MB thread comes back, like clockwork. Improvements have been suggested over the years and haven't happened. Maybe next year with the new software company running things, they can come up...
