The "Wobble Wag Giggle Ball" ???? That has to be the most ridiculous commercial I've seen in a LONG time, and that's saying something since it seems to be an actual product.
I'm just having fun tonight and winging it, not running any analysis on it (hence Moss vs a lefty for example, and Lowrie and Carter in there vs Kluber). Here's my FD:
Bumgarner
Gomes
Moss
Zobrist
Lawrie
Lowrie
Choo
Rua
Carter
Do you know the percentage of tourneys that you were in the money for, and was the total tourney profit due to one big win somewhere, or was it more consistent smaller ones?
Payouts are scaled to where you place, and only the top few percent (varies) qualify. Everything else is the same. The problem with the tourneys are that luck can play a much more prominent role.
I think DC is regressing pretty heavily. I'd be shocked if either of those players ended up anywhere close to as "bad" as those projections suggest at the end of the year. Both probably outperform Kelley.
Hopefully they'll both be back up fairly quickly and we can find out.
Whatever they just gained in picking up Kimbrel, they probably just gave away by demoting arguably their two best holds guys. I suspect this is just to buy time in order to trade one or two other guys though.
I'd love to get either / both.
