So if the stats from the suspended game count toward the prior period, why are the lineups for these teams locked for this period? Do the rules not state that you should be able to move these players until 5 min prior to the start of the game for the period?

The Dark Side has swallowed their time. I'm sure that's probably the reason Dan. This should be delegated to someone then. It makes no sense to me to run a 27 week competition where you supply a stream of information on a consistent and timely basis for 23 weeks and then don't. This competition is ...

Rockit- I would hope that Bruan would be the bad example for parents to show kids about, drugs, cheating and sports and Jeter the one any parent would want their kids to look up to. Give me a break with the "holier than thou" attitude. So you're saying you want your son to grow up to cheat on his t...

From what I'm hearing the BoSox are showcasing Victorino for a trade so don't give up on Mookie just yet.

Now that's a contact no team wants any part of. To unload him, the Sox will likely have to eat much of next year's salary.

:? Has anyone considered Texas is trying to spark interest in Arencibia so they can unload his contract? All he needs is a hot streak of power before the deadline and some team might bite. Rangers have buyers remorse on JP, if you ask me. :geek: He's in his arb yrs. If they don't want him next yr, ...

and hope the season ends sooner than later.

What a disaster this season has been from a technical perspective. All of the fun has been taken out of the game. I can't wait for the season to end.

Thanks, Todd. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

I hope that you aren't just considering the FAAB as good and moving on. Just telling people to download and use chrome isn't good enough. I still get a pause for everything to load each time I change a sort from the new FAAB (change in position, change in time frame of stats that are displayed, sort...

I expected better results -- I didn't think Cingrani would have as much difficulty adapting. Plus, it terms of pure roto -- much of that value was derived from a high K total. I have Cingrani on a few teams so I'm paying for my optimism. Thanks for the response, Todd. I assume you use some sort of ...

Cingrani was indeed EXTREMELY lucky last season sporting a .241 BABIP. His xFIP was 3.49 but since he's a fly ball pitcher in a hitter's park, his FIP may be more telling and that was 3.78 -- still decent but a far cry from the 2.92 actual ERA. The .241 BABIP was likely to correct and when it did, ...

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/fantasy-sports-wizard-winning-formula-165141954.html Great read, JD. Thanks for sharing. Daily Fantasy is nothing but one Big pyramid scheme... it relies on new players to come in and lose and is nothing more than constant regurgitation of winnings... but that's for an...

He's a much better fantasy player than a real player. That's a lot to pay for a player that can only play DH and hasn't played since last season. Texas also likes to rotate their players through the DH slot to get them a breather without getting their bats out of the lineup. They clearly need to do ...

Come on, Dan. Give us Royals fans some hope. This play from last night pretty much sums up what it's like to be a life long Royals fan.

No wonder your girlfriend associates baseball terms w/ sex toys. She's been replaced by a message board.

Had to be PEDs, right?

:?: Didn't most all the Royals hit better when George Brett spent time coaching the offense last season for a while? You'd think they'd be rolling out wheelbarrows of cash to Brett to continue that again. Is he uninterested? :| Brett is a VP for the Royals so it's not more money He had that role be...

The surprising thing is this is his first demotion. The Royals were not reluctant to send Gordon down a couple times when he struggled. Gordon played 2 full seasons before he was demoted...but a little different scenario. Gordon had a decent 2nd season in the bigs until he tore his quad. After that...

Pressure decrease does not correlate with skills increase. He's just not that good. He never has been. He was a top prospect based on his power potential, but if you can't make solid contact, power doesn't translate. Maybe he is a hard worker, but as a royals fan, I know his focus has been questione...

Not to mention it saves them $$$ and control over Moustakas After 1600 mlb plate appearances- Never could hit lefties, now can't hit righties, very average defender, clearly has a focus/work ethic problem as he's regressed instead of progressed. Yeah, I'm sure they're elated to keep him under team ...

I have no idea why some FAAB results did not display last night. This is a first. I'm hoping we can get those shown ASAP. Sorry all. Standard and not good enough. It seems as though any technical improvement that you guys try to implement never runs properly the first time around...usually not the ...

I'd love to see the empirical data that exists showing a direct relationship between steroid use and increased velocity for a pitcher. Please direct me to that study.

For Rochester (Wash.) baseball coach Jerry Striegel, why fix something that ain’t broke? Striegel went with starting pitcher Dylan Fosnacht for 14 innings in a marathon, 17-inning game against LaCenter that Rochester won 1-0 on Tuesday. Fosnacht reported on Twitter that he threw 194 pitches in the ...

I'll pass Dan... Not into hoping someone gets injured, even if just for a bag of Doritos's. Funny how you took think Ave Ventura will be next one... Judging from his previous posts, I'm not sure Dan is betting on Ventura to "be the next one," but rather he is betting against your "ability" to predi...

On a positive note, One pitcher that appears to be at far less risk than other young ones is Ventura from the Royals. Many reasons, but the Royals got him young (I beleive 17), he's approaching 500 Pro innings spread across 5 pro seasons and has never even had a sore arm. Plus he is a fanatic with ...
