Mike,



On your League Homepage, select "League Info" then "Owners List". "Free Agent Balance" amounts will be listed on the right hand side.

At least his BA is up. My team seems doomed to be average, so maybe Casey fits right in. I am holding on to him. He could get hot.



It could happen....just like I could loose weight on the "Beer, Beef, and Baklava" diet....

You guys are going to get really hacked when I go to drop a really good player on MY team like...let's see...who is a really good player on my team...like...ummm...



Oh, hell...who am I kidding...they all pretty much smell the place up....

OK...here is a test. Four starting pitchers with a combined 53 starts year to date. Of those 53, the pitchers gave up a three earned runs or less in 43 of those starts. The combined stats for those 43 starts are 268 2/3 IP (or an average 6.25 IP per start), 76 ER, 247 H (which includes 20 HR), 75 BB...

I know what you mean about being in the middle...I am in the same boat. Been hanging out in the 150's to 180's seemingly forever. We all have a few things in the draft that we should have done different, but there are a lot of things out there not in our control. I am sure you did not expect Mr. Hel...

Are you out there? Haven't seen you post in a while! Wazzup!

The Boss is on vacation, so I filled the void with looking at my leagues FA activity. Just a few fun facts: 56 ballplayers who were drafted have been released and not picked up again (so far) 55 ballplayers who were not drafted have been picked up and are still on their respective teams. The lease e...

What is all this talk about power outages in baseball this year...I PLANNED for Shannon Stewart to be leading my team in HR's at this point in the season...really...I mean it...

Any thoughts on Kyle now? Anyone?

I like the league the way it is. The seven reserve slots is enough space to park a DL prospect. Also, if you see a player hit the waivers (Bonds, Ruth, Aaron, Gibson, Gooden) that you think might be questioned, ask Tom or Greg before you bid. I am sure they do not want nor ask to be informed of ever...

For me personally, I have always drafted looking for the best player available, but still paying attention to position scarcity when it comes to those players I view as my "Starters" (i.e. I do not advocate either discipline wholly, rather believe most success comes from a blended approach). So the ...

I am with Cribgusto!



Sniffle...

How did we end up with 512 names when the league was 195 teams last year and 300 this year? And didn't we end up with an 80+% return rate? No big deal...I am sure I just missed something.

Sorry, but I have already paid my pound of flesh on the issue. See the string on the "Matt Herges Support Group".

The DL bug is really hurting me right now. I have Rolen (an injury they say is unrelated to previous shoulder problems), Vidro (high ankle sprain from hell), Dotel (Pardon me sir, have you seen my slider?), and now Millwood (muscle pull...conditioning...muscle pull...conditioning...gee, I just can't...

Thanks for the opinions, guys. It looks like they are going to have him go on Saturday on short rest vs MIN to give Halladay another day. His match up next week is favorable @OAK probably vs Saarloos. That, plus Millwood going on the DL certainly means I will be leaving him in.

Free Agent market has the likes of Jeff Francis, Jason Johnson, Sidney Ponson, Josh Fogg, Kyle Lohse, and Brian Moehler in it.

I am not looking for any trade secrets, but just a few general opinions. What do you guys (and gals) think about David Bush? I have him and (until this past start) I have been kind of successful in moving him in and out of my rotation to take advantage of matchups hoping for a hot streak. I use him ...

The Reds just need a little luck...I know...bring back a reincarnation of Schotzie!

Hmmmm....9 and 9....sounds like a viable choice number six to me!

Sorry, 'squid. I misunderstood.

How about:
