I've never seen Yahoo do that in season.
-
You'll probably have to wait a year or two to judge your end...
-
Someone get me Shanahan's number. This is a revolutionary idea.
-
Yeah, probably because they're worse at hockey, generally speaking. It's no surprise that the lanky kid who couldn't skate well that you drafted in R1 took a dozen years to develop into something useful. If I ran a team I would draft only forwards, convert some of them based on things like them having a harder slapshot or slower foot speed (analogize to a pitcher having a plus-plus FB but not enough command to stick as a SP), and we would f***ing light it up. It would be like a constant power play with 6 little Torey Krugs on my blue line.

It's not something that teams really ever try to do. Not sure I could name anybody. But it's no surprise to me that the best defenseman in the game (Karlsson) plays "like a forward".
-
"Defenseman" is a misnomer. D-men are able to play 50% more than forwards specifically because their job is easier and less demanding physically. A huge inefficiency in the NHL is that teams almost never try to convert "failed" forwards to defense. Instead, they sign scrub defenseman to plug into the end of their depth charts. Relegating a forward to the blueline, IMO, could be like moving a pitcher to the bullpen in baseball. NHL teams might be surprised at the gains. It's also very stupid that anybody takes D-men high in the draft.

Well, if he's a top 5 player who had one of the best performances you've ever seen then why did his team get outshot by 15 and lose the game? When top 5 talents have a dominant performance, their team tends to dominate along with them.
-
Odor for #2 (Souza) --> Souza for Pompey, Span, and AJ Cole.
-
It's 10% having a top end team and 90% luck. I mean, he's rostering Chris Owings and Erasmo Ramirez right now. Not phenomenal by any means. It's not like he owns Steven Souza or Danny Salazar.
-
I was the last team to beat North. Week 13 of last year. June 23-29th.
-
look it up, meat.
-
Like a decade. I think they had Ichiro/Beltre/Ibanez/Sexson at the same time. Man Richie Sexson was awesome in his prime.
-
Of course. Odds are pretty bad that Wainwright will get shelled hard enough at home to lift your ERA from 4.1 to 4.5. And even if he does it will be humorous enough to have been worth it.
-
Rodon in the bullpen is going to be unfair. Might even be worth a promotion. Could be Kimbrel-esque rations.
-
Jesus Christ, Nelson Cruz already has 8 ding dongs. 8 in 12 games. Look out Barry.
-
Depends who does it. Like if North did it, as sagacious as he is, we'd have to just assume it was on purpose and punish him accordingly.
-
I'm probably like the 3rd most trade happy owner in this league. All I do is spin my team in circles with trades. You're obviously just jealous of my 2nd tier prospect depth.
-
Well, I probably need a C more than anything and unlike most of the other contenders my farm isn't garbage.
-
Congrats on the debut of your fringe top 100 prospect who might be fantasy relevant ~3 years from now Trade me Mesoraco now. No wait, Santana.
-
I expected Norris to be mediocre but not horrendous like this. He'll find it though. -
Well it's not like they're DFA-ing Hynes. He has options. Entirely possible that they still like him and they just want a long-man for the next little bit, I guess.
-
Options work on a per-year basis. They can call Delabar down and sent him back up as much as they want this year.
-
no, there's always time for that. fawwwwwwk DeSclafani looks good in Cincinnatti. I can never spell Cincinatti right... Cincinnati two n's, one t.
-
Gibbons was talking about the strain on the pen yesterday. This might just be a very short term thing to get some length for the next few games.
-
way too early to even care about stats.
