Has this ever been done before?
Thanks Russell...I was thinking it had never happened before. Still looks pretty rare though!

Has this ever been done before?
Double digit HR's, SB's AND Outfield assists by 3 OF's on the same team in the same year? I find it pretty amazing! So take a guess if you don't know yet.... Kansas City Royals OF Alex Gordon 14 HR's 10 SB's 18 OF assists Melky Cabrera 14 HR's 15 SB's 10 OF assists Jeff Francoeur 15 HR's 18 SB's 12 ...

Stuff, A Lot of Stuff
There is simply no doubt in my mind that Bautista is juicing. He had almost 1500 AB's in the minors (1471) and hit a total of 52 HR's. That's 1 every 28 AB's. In the majors, before last year he had 1751 AB's and 59 HR's. That's 1 HR in every 29.6 AB's. So then he gets a hitting coach that tells him ...

Arlington Park Near Chicago Closing?
They have been threatening to close for about ten years. It seemed things would get better with the Churchill Downs people taking it over but so far no luck. It would be unfortunate because the track is beautiful. If you've never been there for a day of racing you should soon!!!

Morneau turning the corner?
I was tooling through some stats and I found something I think is a promising sign for Morneau. After today's 3-5 he is hitting .304 and slugging .507 in day games. I guess you could say this is a disturbing thing if you want to be a glass half empty, but being the owner of one Justin Morneau, I pre...

Glad I got 7 shutout innings out of Lilly on Monday
The wind is blowing so hard he may actually give up a Lake Michigan ball if A.Ram, Pena or Soriano get one up in the gust today! Aye Caramba! Glad I got Soriano playing atleast. Maybe he'll sprain a cuticle in warmups :D :D :D [ April 23, 2011, 12:07 PM: Message edited by: Bullgod ]

See if you can guess these players...
I was driving around listening to sportsradio today and heard a caller say something that almost made me drive off the road. My first thought was, why don't they screen their callers a little better because there is no way that is true. So I did some research and turns out it was a true statement. P...

Hey guys...I've Yelped it and Facebooked it and am not sure. I'm going to D.C. with the wife and kids in June to see the sites for four or five days (then on to Cooperstown from there :D :D :D ) I've looked at the hotels on the internet and they all look fine. I've read reviews and can't decide whic...

I Hate Closers!!!
I agree with this sentiment. I drafted Feliz,Aardsma & Rauch as my closers. I haven't "enjoyed" any blowups yet but they will come. It is amazing to me just how bad some of these "good" closers hae been this year. My favorite closer this year? Aardsma!!! I read about him throwing 20 pitches, then 41...

players added to free agent pool
I didn't play last year but two years ago there was a pull down that showed any players added to the free agent pool as they are called up. I can't find that. Does it exist?
Thanks

So I went Holliday/Youkilis to try and build my BA and get some solid counting stats. Wanted to focus on BA and guys who should play 280-290 games without much question. Both guys are fast starters with career averages over .300 in April. Say what you want but I'd rather start hot it makes other dec...

I guess it's just Manny being Manny...translation Manny being a selfish egotistical jag!
Glad I didn't waste a pick on him. Sorry to those that did. He bit me two years ago when I took him in the 2nd round and he got caught juicing then. Swore I'd never take the pud again.

Draft Breakdown w/ Thoughts and Insight
Love your starting pitching and you've got enough saves there it looks like. BA will be low i think and steals after Crawford and Andrus might be tough but you can usually add steals in FAAB. Overall I like the team. A nice gift to start with Crawford that late. I love Morneau this year from where y...

Ok I've sacked up and am putting my M.E. team out here. As the Subject states I did not watch one inning of baseball last year. I was a baseball junkie for my entire life and last year I just lost my love for it. Played a TON of NFFC instead :D So here is my draft and a little insight into what was ...
