Re: Havin Fun With 2023 ADP

ROUND 5 ADP 61-75 We punish and applaud players for the previous season through ADP. Julio Rodriguez is being taken number one overall in some drafts. That's a standing applause with three curtain calls and shouts of "BRAVO!" Then, there's a guy like Noah Syndergaard who is much like the previously ...

Re: Havin Fun With 2023 ADP

ROUND 6 ADP 76-90 Would you draft a guy with this line in the sixth round? .244/39/12/32/9 Neither would I. Yet, every year, for his eight MLB years, this player has been drafted highly. Mostly higher than the sixth round. Crazy, right? The player is Byron Buxton. Buxton breaks hearts every year. Ye...

Re: Havin Fun With ADP

ROUND 8 ADP 106-120 There are some things us folks from Colorado know that other states do not. For us, we know it is very hard for athletes to play sports here. We know that our teams will hardly ever have a 'Rookie of the Year' for example. Players need that year to acclimate to our thin air and o...

Re: Havin Fun With 2023 ADP

Round 9 ADP 121-135 We all love success stories. Last year, Clay Holmes was a success story. He was the man who replaced Aroldis Chapman. And did it flawlessly. He Closed games when the Yankees were the best team in baseball. He allowed two earned runs in 36 2/3 innings. Amazing really. That is what...

Havin Fun With 2023 ADP

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. My brother's wife passed away recently and he hasn't coped with it to well. I've been sorta babysitting him through his void and loneliness.

The PreMature E-Draftulation League

Once again the PreMature League has started drafting for next year while this year of play continues. It looks to be a wide open year of drafting. For sure, their is no dominating player that teams just have to have. I would say that no one player will be the consensus number one player on over 50% ...

When questioned why by some players, he told them that there would be some situations where pitchers would try to avoid him and get to the next hitter in the lineup. He...

Sorry to hear about your health bout, Al. At the same time, happy it is in your rear view. We have a tendency to take good health for granted. Then it bites us in the ass. I like your list. I believe Vlad may be going a little lower as a penalty for not having a proper follow-up to last year. I also...

Re: WHIR

Just an addendum on WHIR... It's telling on others besides leadoff hitters. Analytics kisses Juan Soto's ass because of his .OBP As of now, it's .402 They shouldn't kiss his ass. His WHIR is a horrible .370 A signal that although Soto receives accolades for reaching base, the pitchers are the one's ...

Drafting in...August?

I was both mortified and stunned when asked to draft a team for next year. In August? Seriously? And of course I never hesitated in saying YES. :D Rob DiPietro put together 15 drafters that were annoyingly on their game when it came to draft time. Most of these drafters were of the podcast ilk.

Re: Fantasy Jones and the Mrs.

Fantasy Jones was on pins and needles. His Closer had been struggling. When a Closer struggles, fantasy owners hate to see him come into a game, while on the other hand, love to see him come into a game with a Save on the line because it means his Manager still has faith in him. It's something that ...

Re: He's A Superstar

Since first writing about Soto, he has gone 10-20 with three homers, seven RBI and seven Runs. Sure, it's not enough for his owners. His owners believe he should be hitting 100 points higher than his .245 batting average. But, it's a start. Soto is too good to be hitting .220 or .245. or even .275. ...
