  1. Definitely happening if Yahoo ever stops being stupid or if we move to Fx
  2. Bo Schultz is my one projection buster this year. He just 'looks' like he'd be a really good reliever. This is a guy that didn't even really play baseball until his junior year in College. He played beer league softball and studied journalism. Walked onto the baseball team and had a 9.00 ERA but enough velocity to sign undrafted with Oakland. They tried to Ziegler him and make him a sidearm reliever for a few years. Then Arizona picked him up four years later and eventually made him a starting pitcher, overhand. I don't think he's ever really been a full time, overhand throwing relief pitcher. Of course, you probably know all of this already. Great article on him: https://sports.vice.com/article/bo-schultzs-long-road-from-williamsburg-bar-softball-to-the-american-league-east
  3. At first thought, I'm not a huge fan of the rolling schedule. I like playing everybody once, every season. It's good in the current format that everyone gets a "Bye Week"... And most of the imbalance from the current format simply comes from divisional quality. FTD has the toughest sched but he's in the best division.
  4. The new division would have been: jaysblue (4), TCA (7), spanky (13), and kingkat (19). Pulling two strong teams from stronger divisions, and the worst team out of the weakest division. It would have avoided breaking up any major existing rivalries but brings BFFs spanky and jaysblue together. The only major existing rivalries IMO are BTS-SVG, FTD-MIN, and maybe me-North, but not as much. Could have called it the French Dip Division, The Dagwood, The Egg Salad, The Po' Boy...
  5. Yahoo is so weak. I might have unilaterally pushed the 5 division restructure through too, because I think it makes sense.
  6. Is it possible to even do five divisions in Yahoo? I would not be opposed at all to a five division format. Winners get in + three wild cards. The shuffle could help us even out the divisions too.
  7. Still pretty gross staff. Since Stroman is hurt you've got a rookie and a swingman pencilled in and no Ace. Bullpen might be fine because it's a pen but it's still s*** at the wall. Meh. The Blue Jays will be an offense first team again.
  8. Yeah just trying to get the spread within each division reasonably close. It would be a pain in the ads to try to get the whole league between 7 and 13 (impossible).
  9. meh, f*** it. It's good enough. ps. Dinger's 200 win season gets an asterisk due to the garbage division that he got to match up against last year.
  10. Sharpen a pencil and see if you can find anything that works without screwing up the spread on another division. I'm stumped.
  11. Having trouble trying to reduce the SoS spread in the Cheessteak Division.
  12. Reuben: Dinger (1) plays SpG (18) and TCA (7): Average 12.5 z3r0s (16) plays Hurl (14) and Hurl (14): Average 14 (was 16) SpG (18) plays Dinger (1) and KingKat (19): Average 10 (was 8.5) Hurl (14) plays z3r0s (16) and z3r0s (16): Average 16 (was 17.5) KK (19) plays Speedy (18) and Spanky (13): Average 15.5 (was 13.5 and 13)
  13. Wonderful. Monte Cristo changed to: SG (5) plays BTS (9) and Sammy (15): Average 12 BTS (9) plays SG (5) and Havok (12): Average 8.5 (was 9) Sammy (15) plays SG (5) and Havok (12): Average 8.5 Spanky (13) plays jaysblue (4) and KingKat (19): Average 11.5 (was 6.5) Havok (12) plays sammy (15) and BTS (9): Average 12 (was 17) This also changed: KK (19) plays Hurl (14) and Spanky (13): Average 13.5 (was 13)
  14. Kyle Drabek, the dead man walking.
  15. Gindl really hasn't even been in the conversation but I wonder if they'll find a spot for him.
  16. I'm not buying any bounce back for Delabar. Still looked kind of all over the place today IMO.
  17. appreciated you're an asset to the league never leave us again
  18. He's a major league ready potential #2 SP (IMO). Urias is a year away but he's a potential #1 SP (apparently).
  19. Not a wow outing!?!?!? I beg to differ. He has been sublime. Pitching with some type of small bleeding injury, he's shown 60 grade stuff across the board. Left a couple of breaking balls up early but then found his release point and pumped curves and sliders in and around the zone. Blew fastballs by some real major leaguers. I think he got hit hard once, but Pompey caught it in the gap. I don't want to bee too optimistic but honestly, he looks like a potential strong #2 right now. Not very many lefties are out there with his type of velocity, off speed stuff, and refinement. He could be Cole Hamels.
  20. Fastball by Gardner (whiff). Slider in the zone, Gardner way out front (foul) Big Slow Curveball in the zone, Gardner whiffs. K!
  21. 3-2 curveball in the zone to Ellsbury shows maturity and gets a weak groundout. I like Norris!
