If it is cutline, there is no starting lineup to change.

Thanks Oak.

Oh, and you say you would send him to AAA to put some "polish" to his game but you need him for the pennant run so he goes to the bullpen. To do what? Throw mediocre curveballs or change-ups? What does Bryan Price know about pitching?

You have a 23 yr old in his first year 'cept 5 IP(where he struck out 9). He goes 7-4 in 105 IP with 120 K and a 2.92 ERA and a 1.1 WHIP. But he does it "relying on a fastball." You need to fix him. Give him more major league pitches like the breaking ball and change-up which "will be good for his d...

One league I dropped Matt Cain instead of Lorenzo Cain somehow. Surely my mistake but Greg took care of it and saved me the disgrace.

Class act.

Glad to explain Greg. I admit Kipnis is a reach and I ranked him below several others that were available. I list Kipnis as only a borderline first rounder. But I wanted to get a MI and I was afraid he would not get back to me in the second. Tulo was there but I do not like his injury issues. I do n...

If you take Miggy, who will I have left?

In spite of Gordon Gekko, I made a 30% return last year from Wall Street. Much more than Bernanke allowed on any interest bearing account...just sayin'

Humbly, I would enter....

Per my friend's GET request, humbly, I enter...

Why would ARod get 200 games while the others get 50 except Braun's 65? Braun, a native born Californian, lied about PED's, got away with being caught, and now receives extra punishment. I get that. But why ARod so much more? All the other new suspended players were all Hispanic. Seven are from the ...

I saw Glavine his rookie year in a trip to Atlanta for a doubleheader (why don't they do more of those?) where there was lightning all around one game as I remember. He faced San Diego and Tony Gwynn against a lineup where no one was hitting over .260 in June(?). His first time thru the order he use...

Paula admits using the "N" word and no one is hurt and her world is destroyed. The Obama administration destroys freedom and the right to privacy for everyone and illegally persecutes half the population and denies it their civil rights and there is no outrage. This is a dangerous time for anyone wh...

Maybe teach them not to use too much tine par...

Very cool.

Wayne, you were a pleasure to meet and sit next to in our ME. And you are one of the original 10-yr NFBC guys. That was pretty cool and I hope we can do it again. Good luck to you suh. I think you will need it.

Midfield Thinkers

If a player has unusual circumstances and requests understanding from the other drafters, I am sure few will have any objection. This is a competitive yet compassionate crowd in my experience. Communication is all that is required as in many of our daily activities. The irritation comes from those w...

Very flattered I was profiled...Big thing to me....My quote about the Barons was significant...One thing I saw Jack McDowell come thru with a 6-0(?) record to play at Rickwood only to get racked up by the Barons for his wakeup call to pro ball..Watched him warm up for the game...He was good...Great ...

I plan on going to St. Louis every year. Had a great time...met a lot of good people...plenty of space in the room but not so much on the tables. Facilitator Jim was weak in the beginning but improved as the day went on. I did not hear many picks and did not hear the facilitator repeat them well. Bu...

I am a better player then Jody Gerut and probably not as good looking as Jody Watley. And it was an honest question that deserved an answer. I am glad to set the record straight.

Last time I checked, I was male.

Jody Earley, Midfield, AL

GET me in please.

To be exact-Huff started RF in 13 games: Mar 31, Apr 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17. He moved to LF in six of those games: Apr 1, 6, 8, 12, 15, 17. He started and finished a game in LF on Apr 10 and Aug 16. He started at 1B and then moved to LF on Apr 19. He played RF in 13 games. He playe...

Easy to blame the programmers. But this is a management problem from the top down to the programmers manager. Ya'll in Missouri folks. The "Show me" state. The managers are shown the stuff works before it is released. No way around it. NFBC rep has taken a serious hit. And it is the fault of those i...
