Driver Love - I don't see the analogy of playing a tough golf course and submitting a starting lineup each week. When you play a tough golf course, YOU are in control of the shots you make. You have NO control over unforseen circumstances that can occur in the next 4 to 7 days when submitting a sta...

Will Astros and Yankees players lock today when the game should have been played or tomorrow when they actually play?

Bump

Most sincere condolences, Greg. Thank you so much for sharing and celebrating.

I know Dickerson had some injuries last year, but I'm surprised that they only could get McGee and a minor leaguer for him (assuming I understand the details of the trade). Given Dickerson's years remaining under team control, I would have thought the Rockies could have pried away an SP in addition...

Goldy now looking closer to a consensus 1.1 than any other name at the moment.

I was hoping that STATS would add up entry fees from all leagues and subtract this number from our payouts, and only report net winnings While that would simplify life for a number of players, that reporting method may not be consistent with the tax code and IIRC they looked at this for quite awhil...

13 hole started with 4 pitchers. Looks like that's going to be a strategy employed in a more than a de minimis way this year.

Loving the placement of Ryan Braun and David Price. Just do not understand the Carlos Correa, AJ Pollack and Dee Gordon love Although it wasn't all in the majors, Correa went 30/30 with a sustainable BABIP and HR/FB rate. And he's a shortstop. I would disagree that he is likely to repeat a 25% HR/F...

Shockingly tight consensus on MadBum:

#29 Madison Bumgarner (P, SF) 29.5 26 33

No one has liked him enough to grab him mid-2nd, nor has a group been down on him enough to let him slip past early 3rd.

Pretty tight grouping of closers with 7th round ADPs

#89 Trevor Rosenthal (P, StL) 92.17 71 108
#90 Mark Melancon (P, Pit) 93.67 66 121
#92 Ken Giles (P, Hou) 95.33 81 118
#94 Zach Britton (P, Bal) 96.67 86 108
#97 Cody Allen (P, Cle) 100.42 78 117
#100 David Robertson (P, ChW) 101.25 91 120

1 14 Max Scherzer SP
2 2 Jose Fernandez SP
3 14 Carlos Carrasco SP
4 2 Wade Davis MR
5 14 Tyson Ross SP
6 2 Cody Allen MR

Would love to see the next 17 rounds of this roster.

Took both at 2.13 and 3.3 in an early DC and was happy to do so. Injury can hit anyone but they are as stable as power bats come in those draft spots IMO.

BHam won't last anywhere close to 9th round once the real drafts fly, same for Matz in the 11th. Certainly like those picks. Think you popped Crawford a little too early. Closers always seem to go much later in expert mocks than in real drafts.

The top 5 seem fairly consistently, in some order, Trout, Harper, Goldy, Kershaw, and Donaldson. The 6-10 spots are so wide open and there's a number of directions to go. 11-15 seems to be cleaning up whatever talent is left after 6-10 pick. Even with the disgusting turns some people are making at t...

Greg,

Are there any turbo DC's (completed in one night) planned for December?

Sign me up. Last one for me for the winter.

Agree. Tough to hit a ton of bombs when half your balls in play are grounders.

Interesting data. Some players with low consensus: Scherzer Max 13 28 12 6 7 13 Encarnacion Edwin 29 15 11 13 28 20 Greinke Zack 26 32 19 29 9 36 Davis Chris 28 18 22 25 31 39 Schwarber Kyle 21 40 37 48 37 25 Braun Ryan 58 26 36 34 24 52 The market is pretty tight on these: Bumgarner Madison 30 31 2...

Sign me up for #9

I'll take a seat.
