Looking into it closer is something I'd really like to do, but for 50/50 tournaments I'm not sure a traditional optimal lineup would be the right strategy. You don't have to finish first, just in the money. I suspect reducing some variability may be more helpful than achieving on average a slightly higher scoring, but more volatile lineup.
-
Yup. So was Delgado and Werth.
-
Yeah, that's true. I'm hoping Markov continues his early success too for that reason (especially with the hits, which has always been his weakness).
-
That would be nice...I think. Since I don't think I'll be competing this year, hopefully it doesn't crush a high pick for me though.
-
Ouch... I have Halak too
-
I'm guessing you meant Goins? edited: read back a bit, yup Goins.

We need a NSFW thread

When Tulo is healthy, yes I think he's far superior to everyone else at the position. We're also talking about someone who's cracked 600 PA once (barely) in the last 5 years though.
-
Arguing about Votto's fragility while talking about Tulo doesn't seem wise.
-
Wow. I definitely like that better for you.

This was on Sportsnet: http://youtu.be/uW4zmtvYtxY

At least it's early in the off-season. He shouldn't miss much development time.
-
Oh god, I can't stop watching that. Damn you!

What do you think the budget will be in 2015
Abomination replied to kgm1's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Not all of the Jays revenue is in Canadian dollars. I have no idea how reliable this site is, but this is a really interesting article. http://awfulannouncing.com/2013/how-mlb-splits-your-tv-dollars.html It's quite possible (IF the site is accurate) that more than half our revenue is actually in USD. -
I can't complain about Halak and Johnson so far. I doubt they'll be a top tandem, but I'll settle for average.

Baseball-Reference and Fangraphs use different formulas to calculate WAR. You should see a difference on most players.
-
As soon as you run out of roster space and drop Greiss.
-
Hmm, yup that does work. Very sneaky of Yahoo.
-
Yes, annoying as hell. Just go to player notes under the players menu.
-
I wonder if it would be a good time to take a gamble with Cecil, give him a few years extension, and make him the closer (like the A's did with Doolittle)?

Cuban second baseman Jose Fernandez possibly defected
Abomination replied to ace3113's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I don't think it would be that high (although I'm just guessing as well). It seems like he doesn't have the kind of upside that many of the other did, just a higher floor. I would think something closer to 5/40 would be what he'll come in at. -
I believe Beane was also given a minority share in the team or something, or a least a cut of profits. I think that might have more to do with him staying than the freedom.
-
I don't think I'd be too happy with 5/66. Something like 5/55 (and front-loaded) I would probably be okay with (or 4/44 with an option). I think with Melky, you either give him something like 2 years at high aav, or 4 or 5 at lower aav. He doesn't strike me as someone who will age well.
-
That would be awesome just for the reactions from everyone in the States. Totally fair though.
-
You should flip him for Halak
