Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Volquez and mclouth were "low-level" guys b4 this year too. McLouth looked like a young guy on the verge of putting it together late last season (at a typical age), Volq was an upside prospect who is living up to his potential, so far.
Church is a 30-yr old journeyman who has had chances and disappointed. I would put him in the same category as Thames actually - be thankful for the good production but don't expect it to continue. If we're lucky they keep it up all season, but its not something I'd bet on.

Ryan Church are you kidding me. He was aviable in two of my leagues and went about 40 bucks.You cant be pulling out guys like this or even Martinez.Martinez hasnt even hit a homer and will miss another 6 to weeks 8 weeks. I didnt think Tulo should have been pulled either. The rule should be for stud players not journeyman and good players who are hurt. You can go to any league and find players like these three. It will be a long season if we are worried about a hurt Ryan Church.Like i said he went 40 bucks thats 15 guys who could have bid and didnt, why because he's a risk with the concussion.I saw Oliver Perez this week , best free agent pitcher out their this year with upside.If you think their is collusion thats a different story and needs to be looked in to.

Agree on Martinez too. I have him in the mag league and I'll drop him if and when I need his roster spot.
Martinez has been worth minus-$4 in value (position-adjusted) while healthy this season.
He shouldn't even be contemplated for removal unless it was highly likely he'd return to pre'08 form. I doubt he'd even get many $100 bids, if any. He is a speculation at best worth a few bucks if you have room for him.
If you look at the STATS player rating system, he is the 25th-ranked catcher this season. Guys he's been worse than: Kendall, Bako, Yadier, Flores, etc ...

It has nothing to do with collusion, and everything to do with fair access to players throughout the Main Event. When Tulo, Hafner and Martinez are dropped in the same league and in no other Main Event leagues the entire year, it can potentially put those in the other leagues at a disadvantage for the overall prize. These are "potential" game changing players that are not being dropped in other Main Event leagues for a reason.
Additionally, when Church is dropped one week and picked up for the 2nd highest FAAB amount in the Main Event leagues the next week, it demonstrates there was significant value dropped. And when no other Main Event league drops Church, it supports the fact that he is not the type of player that every league has access to picking-up.
If Tulo comes out, then the other players should come out as well. Can't change Church, but Hafner and Martinez should be pulled. Both are underperforming due to injuries/DL and have the same "potential" as Tulo to return to fantasy "difference maker" status upon return.

They've been more valuable than VMart. Same goes for many OFers ahead of Church. None of these players should've been pulled. Everyone has a finite amount of FAAB which they should be free to use or waste as they see fit.
McLouth is the only guy all season that warranted removal; he was healthy and performing like a top-tier player.

not everyone has access to the same free agents.
when four "stars" (Tulo, Hafner, Church and Martinez) who are dinged up, are all dropped in the SAME league, this is reason for concern.
we can keep going back and forth on this, but it won't solve anything. greg already pulled tulo. church was okayed to stay in and went to the 2nd place team in the league
. now martinez and hafner are in the cross hairs. hafner i don't have a problem with. martinez may be a different story.

on top of that he was moving up in the mets lineup to bat 5TH. those stats and piece of news makes him damn more valuable than $40 in some satellite league. at least in my book.

Week 12 Drops
Since more or less being named the starting LFer 3 weeks ago he's hit 271, 9 HRs, 12-16 r/rbi. And, he's healthy.
That projects to:
271 BA
78 HR
104 R
139 RBI
Which is only slightly less realistic than Church hitting 300/30/100/100.

Another comparison, Church is 40th among OF, Thames in 61st with only 60% of AB. If you assume equal playing time going forward, no doubt Thames would be rated higher.

both would equate to better production, of which, he's done to a tee. now if he can ramin helthy, i'd expect more of the same with a slight dip in BA, but more steals. he's always been an extra base hitter even in a bad ballpark in washington.

That doesn't make him a top player. No more than it makes my guy a top player after a few good weeks.
BTW, I'm not wound at all, just killing time. I know you're focused on trying to maintain a top spot and don't want anyone else getting an unfair advantage, but when you start believeing Ryan Church is one of the best hitters in the league I think it's clouding your judgement just a tad. someone may be missing the point of where he hit the last two years and where he's hitting now. better ballpark. better lineup.
both would equate to better production, of which, he's done to a tee. now if he can ramin helthy, i'd expect more of the same with a slight dip in BA, but more steals. he's always been an extra base hitter even in a bad ballpark in washington.

Week 12 Drops
I won't say you'll be wrong on your Church projection because its in the realm of possibile. But much worse numbers are possible too, and it wouldn't be shocking.
Bottom line is Greg pulls top players from the pool, and Church has neither been a top player this year nor any other year. He is rated 40th at his position on an objective NFBC model (not mine). Better players have historically been dropped and available.
