Funny how the Devils might end up missing a playoff spot solely to give Marty Brodeur a farewell timeshare. He's been garbage all year and has started about half of their games.
-
Almost every BABIP spike (or dip) comes with a correlated rise/fall in LD%. LD% is a dubious stat. I'm saying this off the cuff here, but I feel that it's not like players who get BABIP lucky have a s*** ton of little loopers and lazy fly-balls drop in. No, the players who get BABIP lucky tend to get credited with an unsustainable amount of line drives. Some of this is quality contact that's above their true talent, and some of it might be stringer bias (tendency to call a single a LD, while a fielded ball might have been called a groundout or whatever).

Kevin Seitzer should be a Q-ring bracelet salesman. for f***s sake.

Newest board member = jjippidy. Haven't heard from that guy in a while.

Lol

My farm is probably the best though. #HDMH
-
Silvergun has Sano and Hamilton. Even if those were his only prospects, that would have to be a top five farm. Top 100 lists aren't always extremely relevant to fantasy either. Is Austin hedges even a top 150 fantasy prospect?
-
I think it's a pretty fair deal TBH. As Stras had demonstrated, even phenom arms are flaky assets. I like the idea of trading down, getting Hill for now, and still being able to add someone like Alex Jackson to the farm (or young Beedah!). Not that I have any idea if those two names should even be in the convo at #5.

Yup, if you are going to be AFK just make your decisions early. Nothing wrong with cutting early. What we'll do is have everyone simply make a reply to their team "Roster" thread on proboards. That way we can track who has and has not made their snips! Format will be a numbered list. 20 big leaguers and 12 prospects (or less) must be listed. If anybody is late making cuts for whatever reason, they obviously get a strike, some dirty looks, and their roster gets frozen until they cut down.

Every time I play a The Show franchise, Danny Valencia turns into a consistent .330+ hitting superstar 3B.
-
Anyone know if Justin Turner can play 2nd base well (or acceptably well)? Possible platoon guy there?
-
Not sure, but are these guys still free agents? Berkman Jeff Baker Reed Johnson Andres Torres
-
I can maybe make it 11:56 if that would work better
-
Which cut deadline works best for everyone? Sun Feb 16th at 11:59 pm, or Sun Feb 23rd at 11:56 pm Waiver draft would commence precisely one week hence, on the proboards. This is all assuming that Yahoo is up in time. Superbowl is the 2nd (right?), so I'm guessing Yahoo Fantasy Baseball will be up by like, Tuesday the 11th.

inb4 Tampa Bay gets him cheap
-
Yes please. I doubt he'd take a minor league deal, but I guess it's possible. Even if he needs a big league one, I'd probably give it to him.
-
Seems likely. Good top end and future in that SP corps, but might be thin in 2014.
-
Arizona starters have a recent habit of popping up and then fading into the ether. Hudson - hurt Kennedy - from #2 to BP machine Collmenter - it was all smoke and mirrors anyway. Gustavo Chacin style success. Miley - still good but regressed noticeably after 2012. Corbin 2014 - who knows!!!!
-
Boogers is a no brainer. Paxton is right out. Walker for the pitching risk/reward (take if you can absorb the risk; if you have a fairly deep team and can afford to take a 2014 chance). Corbin for the more bankable pitching contribution this year. Rendon should only really be considered if you have a hole at 2B or 3B.
-
Zaun is a grip it and rip it type of talking suit. I tend to find his analysis to either be right on point, or catching air.
-
Kind of lame. I guess Zaun and his right winged baseball traditionalism gets to just wash over everything by default now.
-
I still think hell be a great IRL player, but it's not easy to hit 20+ in the Coliseum and I wouldn't be prepared to buy into the idea of all of his peripherals not regressing at least a wee bit.
-
Lawrie is clearly a top...
-
I hope you guys are prepared for Handsome Jake to go 20/20 in Miami.
-
Donaldson fantasy impact guesses for 2014? I think hell just be OK. .270/.340, 15 dingers.
