That's one of the reasons I want to see him promoted. He's not going to walk if he's crushing everything bad A-ball pitchers are throwing. Let him struggle a bit vs. Advanced AA arms.
I don't mean to call the Rockies' developmental process into question, but what exactly is there to be gained by letting Rodgers continue to lay waste to A-ball?
I have no idea how much better 1st round picks tend to do than later picks in our league, but a draft board that's 19 names long sure takes a lot of the hassle out of doing these.
Feels weird having a new DDL member. I mean, I guess GD is new, but he was co-managing with North for a long-time. This is the first straight replacement in almost 5 full seasons.
OK, I've heard from about half the league, and there's no reason to prolong it: it's the apparently universally beloved P2F.
P2F: let me know what e-mail you want the invite sent to and I'll hook you up.
Not a joke. Jim is a longtime poster and knows his baseball. I think it's good to get people who aren't in any forum leagues. Just probably with longer posting track records than Frenchsoup had.
So of the names that were suggested, the following are interested in joining:
P2F
L54
Orgfiller
jays4life19
All four would be great, and I'm not sure I see a way to choose between them without a league vote.
Esteemed DDL members: your input is required here.
