greg- so you were willing to go with willie keeler- but not mays stargell or mccovey? i guess i should go look for some pitchers- but those 4 wllies kinda look good.

i looked at today's pitching match ups. yikes. it doesn't always play out like you expect- but some team could have 10 homers and 25 rbis after today. heck- that might have happened yesterday.

ya rich- but man they were great picks! good thing you didn't take a risk and start with kershaw/kluber or scherzer/kluber or maybe kershaw /sale!

gm to rizzo- "you need a closer- we have mr. X. why won't you trade? rizzo-" for the 10,000 time- the mets, the braves, the phillys, the marlins" . seriously- i have seen it twice now on mlb network- they talk about the nats needing a closer and FIVE MINUTES LATER talk about how the phillies, mets, ...

great post greg. i think you meant to write " 4 FOOTBALL" teams 3 baseball, 3 basketball

ya bama you are probably right. i knew all the things you mentioned. when it comes to drafting or signing in college- i think it becomes "they come from a good program' which in a vacuum really means little. they lost 25 games this year. we shall see. the guys that have been selected recently aren't...

cracks me up to see all the analysts going nuts that washington doesn't have a closer. they play in a division that is dreadful. they don't need one until the playoffs. they may have their closer in the minor leagues- or they might wait until they can get the best possible deal- but they could win t...

this is more of an nfl draft thing - but when i see a college team get lots of 1st round picks- i hope to see them win or finish top 4 for national title. works for alabama etc but when you see a team that doesn't do that well- most of the time many of those picks are busts. vanderbuilt has done wel...

1) pretty sure EVERYONE is worth using while they are hot. 2) pretty sure NO ONE knows when that hot streak will end. all the guys that picked up zunino when he got called back up are pretty happy.

gotta love your write ups. was that robbie ray 10th round adp from that same alternate universe as that $11 bid on maliex smith? same math? i bid $225 and you kinda suckered me into thinking i was the sucker- because i hadn't looked at the bids yet. of course i still may be the sucker and the $11 bi...

base stealing now equals-" we suck - so lets steal" the brewers and rockies suddenly got into "contention" and are not stealing. arizona is in contention and stealing- but all the stat heads agree- arizona has no clue what they are doing. cubs and indians- stopped running. yankees- stealing, got int...

i still love trevor story. if i drop him- he may put up a line like max kepler!

holland- i was really surprised how few teams dropped him after dan blasted him after his 1st 3 saves. still time to drop him before the misery starts!

solved

as of 10:30 ct can't check change my lineups or check yesterdays stats

probably- and if you have freeman - you have my sympathy. i think i have 9 in the main- which is hard to do- but i drafted one and picked up finnegan- so i am a glutton for punishment.

on belt- gotta go completely with dan- belt is always over rated by the "perts" - the park kills him. i also think he is a good enough hitter to change his swing if moved to cincy. also agree on mays- not only the park but the weather. changed his swing while playng there.

mostly agree with you on the walk thingy- except the sf giants. i don't care who bats 1st or second - they need to walk. and walk some more. buster posey has 7 homers and ELEVEN rbi. batting .180 and k-ing the moon? nope- hitting around .360! batting 1st? nope- 3rd or 4th. i mean that is just ridicu...

wayne- do you think that the braves would still turn down a chris sale for ozzie albies trade or is he still untouchable like "the difference maker" you have at short stop?

greg- my point was- all these guys are not difference makers right away. some are great the 1st year. some the second and some never. moncada still has a high k rate. trout struggled 1st time up. you just don't know. why bring him up? berrios- ya I had him last year and I like him this year- but who...

maybe greg and dough can fly up to minnesota and walk around target field during a game and greg can ask- so how excited were you last year to see the 2 "difference makers' berrios and buxton play? a typical answer might be "are you f.....g kidding me. i saw berrios give up 12 earned in 3 innings in...

funny on colorado- san diego stole plenty with black and colorado has the same gm as last year so it isn't coming from the top- unless everyone had an "ah ha" moment and decided it wasn't worth it.

as a sox fan i hated they traded sale. didn't mind eaton- kinda a wuss, plus hurt a lot. but since they decided to rebuild- they needed to go all in. i don't think any sox fan feels "robbed' we don't see moncada. the white sox are never on national tv anyway. the national games are 110% some combo o...

on the sox and orioles- i blame buck,manny and that goofy ump that threw out gausman. dear buck and manny- if sale wanted to hit him- he would have it him. a foot behind him? please. get a grip. buck is from the tony larussa camp- we will always have the last word- and it will never die. fun for us ...

dough- i don't know how you do it with these stats. dallas k- i have him in my auction and had zimmerman in my main last year. thanks for that stat. i do have hope- zimmerman had a 1.29 era- so dallas is better! trout- if a guy was playing for colorado or boston or the cubs and hit .364 with 42 home...
