thanks for the write up dan. you and mr. bronx hit nail on head. we won't ever know the answer to this- but last year sale did dial it down and pitch to contact. he also threw fewer sliders. sale does not shake off the catcher much. buerle never did and he taught sale to "get it and throw it". Proba...

crawford and buxton are just 2 of many prospects over the years that people must feel that if they say they are great- they are. at some point ya gotta hit.

yes- dan is the man. i await your chris sale post. i have noticed that: since sale is with "the sox that matter" most of these punk writers and broadcasters act like what he is doing now is new. i also said that he was pitching to contact last year and all off season i read that wasn't true- he velo...

i second what c&d said and will use a platoon example. joc peterson- i think he blows. but even if you "valued" him at $25 it is pretty clear that against lefties he is about a - $50 player. chris young, franky guiterez and to a lesser extent seth smith hit lefties really well. i would bet that any ...

well- he spent all spring trying to throw harder- hey look 106!. now his arm is tired. the mets really are embarrassing. can they keep anyone on the field?

i admit- i know none of the back round on this- but....... why is lucroy sitting? i know he isn't hitting- but he has always hit. you just shouldn't bench him on a week of bad hitting. the worst part is- he isn't signed. he probably still has the partial no trade. if he isn't hurt- they are probably...

the only draft i took heyward in was the premature. you and i then had a spirited discussion on him. i guess i just felt after round 15 heyward seemed like an ok pick. 15-15 150 rbi and runs have a fairly positive value- if the guy doesn't hit .200. of course i have about 70 points in that league.

dan- i know it is way too soon- but any phones calls on jason heyward?

the washington team is the most boring duo in the history of broadcasting- and that is saying a lot.

actually tom- even though i agree with the decision- you sorta reinforced what i said. at least 15 drafters and 2 auctioneers missed twice on this. correct decision though.

wow- too much drinking and partying in new york. seriously- not drafted?

bump

thanks greg- I will talk with some guys and we will work on recruiting guys for next years main- to get at least 2 leagues. mike

the fantasy version of "honey does this dress make me look fat?"

geez- I can't wait for the braves to be done trading. it is getting so old reading things like "braves interested in Quintana" geez really- are they the only ones? and better yet- "braves interested in Quintana and every other teams best pitchers- but they won't trade any of there top prospects" geez

did anyone get so excited by your catcher video that they bought 3 catchers? if they did- you might want to do another and remind people the 100% catcher bump only pertains to catchers playing catcher. the 100% catcher bump is also not used on mastersball or fangraphs but what do those morons know.

fyi- I couldn't move anyone on my draft champions team. maybe they all stay active- which all 50 were.

1st of all- the mets doctors (that is fast becoming an oxymoron) say that all their pitchers are fine- nothing to see here - and nothing to worry about. and carrosco getting hurt is like the alphabet giving up those runs- same o same o.

in example #1 i would say "dan that is what you get for taking starling marte instead of VOTTO in round #2". 6 OF's before round 18? yikes

no worries. i like the videos. eyeballs are eyeballs as they say.

wow- so you are saying take a $19 player over a $13 player? thanks.

coz- you nailed it. when jay is in chicago he drinks about $200 worth of beer. in new york that could be $1000. you guys are gonna need a bigger bucket.

oh wise one- define "overall value" mine= you have 5 piles of $- all $20 bills. mine is 4 $5 bills and 1 $100 bill. are you saying because 1 of my piles has so much more "value" than my other ones that your piles have more "overall value"? hint- my pile has hamilton.

pudge used steroids- so his numbers mean crap. only liberals can defend him. he is another guy when asked if he used steroids gave a non answer. what a douche. carry on.

who am I? a certain hitter- when asked about lineup protection- said he did not notice any difference in pitches no matter who batted behind him. Then he said "who is gonna protect me anyway? Babe Ruth?"
