    Why do you say stuff when King and I mention our prospects but not when Dinger, Boxy, et al. do?
  2. NorthOf49
    He can't. Only a few guys like Rivera and knuckleballers have consistently influenced their allowed contact. It isn't a skill that conventional pitchers like Loup can have.

    Derek Fisher is having one of the greatest games in affiliated baseball history... three dingers (two grand slams), a double and 12 steaks.
  4. NorthOf49
    I think I vouched for Coke the other day. Love this. He's very similar to Loup.
  5. NorthOf49
    It's not on Loup at all either, he can't really control quality of contact. Blame it on the guy who actually hit the scorcher, Brian Dozier.
  6. NorthOf49
    No, because more hitters hit right-handed. If there was an equal distribution of balls around the infield, then arm would be the only determiner of 1B/3B positioning.

    Why would you want a bad pitcher to leave the game? Their bullpen is better.

    People literally get paid to advise us about effects that demonstrably do not exist.

    They're not even comparable in terms of innings thrown; Blyleven has nearly 1.6 times as many as Buehrle. Mark Buehrle has had a great career and was a good pitcher for a long time. He is not a Hall of Famer and that's okay.
  10. NorthOf49
    Wins and ERA were though and he won 20 games and pitched to a 2.52 ERA (63 ERA-).
  11. NorthOf49
    I don't know how Blyleven got the reputation of a compiler. He truly dominated the game for two whole decades. His 1973 is the fourth-best season of the modern era by fWAR, better than any season from legends like Koufax and Mathewson: 325 innings of 59 FIP- ball.

    It's less work because you can streamline it into the rest of your baseball attention-paying processes. There is no value adding by maneuvering through free agent lists like you would in Yahoo! leagues. I already read MLBTR posts and monitor Twitter news, which give me all I need for LOD. If I happen upon news that some scrub I like is getting called up, then I quickly look up his availability. Once a minor leaguer I have is nearing 14 days in the majors, I make a move and add a new minor leaguer from my watch list. Aaron Hicks reached 14 days, so I flipped him and added Ian Thomas, who drew praise from Andrew Friedman in an MLBTR link. It's a system that doesn't actually take much involvement. And you're right about lineups. Erasmo and Frias have been on the same schedule for a while, so every five days I just need to sub them in. And I do a little bit of shortstop mix-and-matching between Castro and Semien. In my Yahoo! leagues I have to constantly check to make sure I'm not sitting pitchers.

    If you're so great, why is your LOD team in last place?
  15. NorthOf49
    Pretty fair trade imo. NJH wasn't going to trade Scherzer without getting a premium bat in return, and he gets one. Scherzer is the more valuable asset though, he's a workhorse with super-elite skills and CoreDick has some questions. So NJH getting extra stuff kicked in make sense.

    Jose Reyes + $5MM to Washington for Ian Desmond.
  17. NorthOf49
    Those are the ones released during Spring Training, though. You referenced the projections we were looking at during Spring Training.
  18. NorthOf49
    I got an email about it and am pretty excited to see what it looks like when I log in later tonight lol
  19. NorthOf49
    This game is not that easy.
  20. NorthOf49
    Speedygose, your inbox is full! Liberatore just entered a tie game in the eighth. They trust him.
  21. NorthOf49
    Cameron's whole thing recently is that proven players with 0.5-1.5 years of control don't fetch nearly as much as they used to and we should adjust our expectations. And he's right to some extent. But two low-end guys is taking the concept too far. The Brewers could get a premier talent of some sort.
  22. NorthOf49
    Meh; my team is rounding into shape. I have an extra reliever with the Lindgren call-up... anyone want Adam Liberatore for very cheap? Has been great out of the Dodgers pen.
  23. NorthOf49
    I wouldn't be too hesitant to get excited. Looks like prime Braun is back.
  24. NorthOf49
    Pollock is the type of youthful hitter Boxy should be building around, not moving for pitching prospects. I didn't understand that at all.
  25. NorthOf49
    I trust Harry Pavlidis, but without a lengthy explanation this article is just a bunch of hot air.
