Seems analogous to the way pitchers crap the bed immediately after pitching a perfect game/no-hitter. See Humber, Santana, etc.

Cheers!

I can't see bidding more than 10% of your FAAB$ on a player who has a good chance of playing less than a month in the majors this year. Unless you're desperate for SB and have a solid BA. In my case I am last in BA and have plenty of speed. My middle infielders are awful so I would use Dee Gordon if...

Probably already owned in most leagues, but if he's available in yours you might not want to wait to make a bid.

Brandon League looks ripe for losing his job.

Will he stick with the Dodgers if/when Hanley and Mark Ellis are healthy?

Sure, he will if he plays above his head but we know it's Dee Gordon so how much do you pay for a player who might give you only 3 weeks?

If you own and start Marmol, you've already given up.

Thanks for the donation.


Cheers!

Marco Scutaro is obviously reading the Online Championship Drops.

One day after I drop him (he's been blowing chunks all season) he decides to show up to play.
Now that he's signed a new contract I'm expecting him to play like a major leaguer about once a week.

Thanks, Marco!

I passed on him because Brian Wilson will be the Tigers closer starting in a few weeks.

He went for $506 in my league so I wouldn't win the bid regardless.


Cheers!

Now it's Cozart. I benched him for the weekend because he's been in a slump.
Nice day today so I'll be starting him on Monday, fully expecting him to go back to multiple 0-fer games.

It's not like I'm going to waive him for Marwin Gonzalez. That's fool's gold!

Cheers!

Straily will be called up Monday to fill in for the wonky Brett Anderson. He could pitch well and get another win but if he's sent back down by Saturday he won't be available as a free agent in NFBC, again. Yet, I'm still able to pickup Colby Lewis, Beachy, Pineda, Feliz, and Daniel Hudson who haven...

I don't understand this request. If you go to Player Search and you type in Upton, for instance, you get Justin or BJ. You click on Justin and it tells you what round he was picked in and what team in your league he's on. What are we missing here? You just said it yourself, you have to click on Jus...

At least my other benching, Martin Prado, seems to have been justified.

Yet another 0-fer

You ride with a player from day 1, in my case VMart, and he sucks eggs.

You finally decide to bench him (Ruiz comes back Sunday) and he immediately starts producing.

2-for-2 with a run and rbi already tonight. This game drives me insane!

You don't delete the list! You click "Edit Add" right beside the player at the top of your list and just replace him not the whole list. And for the guys who don't like scrolling through the list of players to find someone alphabetically - click the check box at the top left of his profile then when...

I haven't seen it suggested yet so maybe I'm alone but I'd be happy to see:

Player search results that include the team name if owned.
This would save a step where you currently have to open the player profile to see if they are owned and if so, by whom.

Gattis was drafted to be my stop-gap until Ruiz comes off my bench from suspension. I wasn't sold on him after week 1 so I grabbed the hot Buck as insurance and ended up playing them both along with VMart but I wish I'd have known earlier to sit the rusty Tiger. Gattis may yet become a super-utility...
