  1. I think that's appropriate, but I also think thank that Fernandez's accomplishments should be recognized beyond just the fact the he was a player who died. Guys like Adenhart and Lidle were tragic, but they weren't Jose Fernandez.
  2. There's no reason to argue because it's a matter of opinion, but I'll say that for me there's a difference between someone who pitched like an all time great and then had their skills erode and someone who only ever pitched like an all time great, then died. We've only ever seen excellence from Fernandez. That isn't the case for Gooden or Prior or Lincecum. I've always been a big hall guy though.
  3. Was gonna PM spittin after the DDL made a decision.
  4. Yeah. Bombed the DDL and BORED and missed the LOD playoffs. 2015 was the year of havok though.
  5. Yeah I'm not sure why there's so much concern for their finances. They'll be a lot less rich than they would have been, but this is still a 20-something mother who is, at worst, a millionaire. His kid is still better off financially than 99% of kids.
  6. I think his bat will really have to be elite for teams to risk running a likely ace out there at bat enough for him to matter in a 20-team league. Most scouty types don't seem to think he's that level of bat.
  7. I was thinking about this the other day. I imagine he'll have two instances in yahoo, but it's far from given that his bat will play well enough to make this an issue.
  8. I'd vote for him. He performed like one of the best pitchers ever, and had the kind of personality that the game doesn't have nearly enough of. The HoF is about recognizing th greats, and in the games that he played, he was on that level. I don't care what might have happened if his career hadn't ended at 24, because the innings he did throw were HOF calibre. Also, the hall takes itself far too seriously if it can't consider including someone like this out of resepect.
  9. Does anyone else think that MLB should waive their 10-year HOF minimum for him? Second best starters ERA- of all time, and best FIP-.
  10. I think this should be handled on a case by case basis. And I don't think we should be judging the 'tragicness' of a death. Nobody wants to debate how tragic, say, Oscar Taveras' death was given that he was drunk and killed someone. And I think we have enough collective sense to handle these as they come. Nobody will expect compensation if a Doug Fister gets hit by lightning.
  11. How's the waiver draft looking this year? Letting Hurl add any unowned prospect and giving him #1 pick in the waiver draft seems appropriate. Would be Maitan and some MLB ready Azn guy probably?
  12. That's so crazy to me. Three guys in the prime of their life out enjoying themselves, and then the lights go out and they're gone without any idea what happened. Life is so fragile.
  13. I think Dinger has the best team in the league. He scares me the most next year.
  14. Also, I'm taking a small measure of satisfaction in beating Boxy for the podium finish after he s*** on my team all year.
  15. First two-time champ. He gets to for the 'dynasty' designation next year.
  16. I'm so happy that we don't have to fold the league after one season.
  17. Is boxy known for lacking integrity?
  18. A win doesn't help them.
  19. Yes, I would appreciate being alerted to the fact that someone I'm scheduled to start has 0 chance of helping me and could possibly cost me a category.
  20. Obviously because I want them to win.
  21. Hey Kingfiller, bench Rondon tonight you jabronis.
  22. This is why Pompey doesn't play.
  23. Mychal Givens just threw 26 pitches, got 6 outs, and induced 11 swinging strikes. I love him.
  24. 'Benoit looking for a hold right now with this game tied" OK Tabler
