Google Docs is considered filesharing by most URL filters. It's blocked for DLP reasons.

 

Yup. Google Docs has been blocked at every job I've had in the last 5 years.

re: Sammy's Farm

 

Apparently Trent Clark is now going by Trent Grisham.

It's Projection Season! God bless Coors Field, I hope David Dahl can actually stay healthy and give me this.

 

20/68/75/13, .284/.335/.478

Lol I love how a 95 wRC+ in Coors equates to a .344 wOBA.

 

Meanwhile if you put up that slash-line in Oakland you're pre-Blue Jays Josh Donaldson. Coors is the best.

Will move Matt Harvey or Jung Ho Kang for picks/prospects, or both together for a slight keeper upgrade.

What's the deal with Kang? Is he in prison? Playing this year?

Still doesn't know if he'll be allowed back in the US.

Ugh, BP's website is terrible. I'm on month to month billing because I don't use their content year round. I buy premium access in November, and then get auto-billed on December 6th - that's fine, most sites work that way, I'll just turn off auto-billing. It takes forever to find the area to change membership level, but eventually I find it and switch back to free. For every other site I've ever used, this change kicks in after the month you've already paid for. Not for BP - I'm down to a free access 5 days after buying a month of premium. When I try to change it back to premium, they try to bill me again. The idiots running this site get literally everything wrong.

Well, trying to pay for BP's useless content is your problem in the first place. Have you considered that you are inadvertently supporting the lifestyle and continued employment of one Bret Sayre?

I'm pretty sure Bret Sayre makes like $40k and lives in rural Wisconsin. I'm sure he leads a very sad, sexless life.

It's a good explanation though. It's too bad they didn't give an option to allow one additional roster spot to be assigned to the team if they own both versions.

 

No it isn't. Its f***ing lazy. SP/UTIL seemed like the obvious solution but apparently that's above Yahoo's collective heads. Thanks for making Ohtani boring!

They mentioned that scenario in their answer.

 

A third approach would have been the introduction of a single player with both SP and Util-eligibility. In that scenario, users would have to choose at the beginning of each transaction period (daily or weekly) whether to accept Ohtani’s batting or pitching stats. However, had we taken that route at Yahoo, our engineers would have needed to substantially rebuild the fantasy product. This would have been an enormous undertaking, disrupting other initiatives and delaying the game. And in the end, Ohtani’s owners still would not have received 100 percent of his stats.

That's really annoying. I have a sub, just PM any articles you ever want to read and don't deal with the month to month bs.

So I think the Otani thing can be worked around (best as we can) with the following;

 

1- Otani only 1 player for all cut-down purposes

2- The owner only has to keep one copy of Otani on his roster at any time to retain ownership

 

It sucks a bit for the owner as he needs to use two roster spots for the player, but it looks like the best we can do at this point. Giving the owner flexibility to drop Otani the hitter or Otani the pitcher (but not both) at any time should do something to make up for this. As does allowing the owner to collect hitting stats even when Otani is pitching.

 

All other owners, just don't pick up anyone named Otani. In the hypothetical instance that Otani's owner is going to drop both copies in the future, the gentlemanly thing to do would be to announce it so people can make a claim (and not have to notice that both are FA's before deciding if they want to make a claim). Its one player, I'm sure we can handle it.
