You should pillage GD though, in truth he's infatuated with Benintendi. He prefers your offer to my offer of AJ Reed & Kevin Maitan, which is crazy. Wear him down and he'll accept. He's also taking advice from North, so he's screwed.

It's not like Freeman is 32... he's going to be good for many years yet.

Still Freeman for me. Benintendi is tiny, I see him as a Victorino type fantasy player.

Wilson Ramos though, his season just defies all logic.

He definitely had a big slump earlier this year, which just makes it more impressive that his line is now up to .353/.482. 2nd in HR among catchers, 1st in BB rate. Now if only he could play half his games in Milwaukee and Arlington.

Sorry, are you implying you'd rather have the older catcher with twice as much mileage? Not sure I understand your point.

Man, Yasmani Grandal is on a war path lately. Interesting note, I just looked up for comparison's sake, Grandal has a higher career wRC+ (120) than Lucroy (111).

26 games over .500 SHOULD get you into the playoffs, probably. I dunno. Leave my old team alone, this is clearly its last Christmas.

He's really pressing since the trade... 42.4% K, -35 wRC+ (((

I don't understand why everyone cares so much about the Hall of Fame.

The gap between 1st and 2nd is more than the gap between 2nd and 7th, it should be a good finish.

That's what she said (to you).

You're actually 3rd in TAC, not 2nd. xoxo

1st place in both our redraft leagues. You?

I passed you in BORED and PL, but I'm far too big of a person to gloat about it.

Fielder and Puig are strong cut candidates for you, that's a depressing thought.

Yep, boxy has lost all the ground. The cream always rises.

If by match up gods, you mean my exquisite roster management, category plays, and platoon maximization, then yes, I will give thanks.

I think boxy's team is good enough to make the playoffs, but certainly not good enough that I'd be looking down my nose at others.

Shelby Miller's first month pretty much trashed my PRs for the season. I have little doubt that my team is better than boxy's going forward.

GTFO of here with your season record in place of empirical evidence.

Better to pass in August than May, no?

Thanks, soup! I'll be passing Boxy also.
