Jesus H Christ, it was tongue in cheek.

Can't wait until they rush Nolin to the big leagues this summer and he blows his arm out!
-
Good thing I didn't start him in fantasy!
-
Makes no sense, unless he's going handle deep. Nightsticks are so smooth.
-
He's nothing special. Definitely not much more than a back end SP right now. But he's still an upgrade at some SP slot for like, 95% of the league. I get trading him for a good Holds guy if you have the depth. But I just don't get handing someone the extra value in the picks. I don't care though so lets stop talking about this don't even respond plz just let me have the last word k.
-
Yeah it's not a big deal at all. Comes and goes, but even when it lags the delays aren't brutal.
-
Of course it's a category. You're still wrong though. For some perturbed reason you think that past ERA is more predictive of future ERA than DIPS is, because all of a sudden fantasy baseball is a different thing or whatever, some asinine theater where past DIPS is worthy of the trash can and an ERA sample the size of one or two seasons is king s***.
-
lol. ERA ftw.
-
I made a mental note to put a waiver claim in on him, but then I was too busy and forgot Um. Wat. That seems kind of dumb. Not even sure how to approach a rebuttal... there are several weird limbs sticking out of that reasoning.
-
I like how 200 innings is enough to prove that someone is a DIPS buster. The "losing his rotation spot" argument might be legitimate. I'm not really following lots of these stories this year with the same type of fantasy slanted hawk eye that I have in the past. I have no idea what they're doing in Boston. I don't think I own a single Boston pitcher in any of my leagues.
-
Really, all you'd be asking is "do worse pitchers have shorter / more shallow peaks?". And the answer, in general, would be "of course". A pitcher with a 7 k/9 and a 3.5 BB/9 = very mediocre, and possibly quite s***** depending on other peripherals like GB%. In general, a pitcher with a lower walk rate is better. Better pitchers can decline a bit and still be given opportunities, since they're still effective relative to replacement level. Pitchers who walk more hitters, in general, are worse. When they start to decline they lose opportunities fast. Their peaks would be shorter and end more abruptly. But that doesn't mean that their talent peaks are any more shallow. They'd just cross a threshold of opportunity.
-
I dunno. Joba? DO? It's not so much that they're always sitting there in the FA pool, it's just that new opportunities pop up fairly frequently as guys get hurt, demoted, whatever.
-
A) 3.87 xFIP in 228.2 career innings = effective. It's irrelevant how many guys he walks. That's not enough innings to throw DIPS out the window and look at his ERA. I would've dropped Porcello before him if I were you. So what? The predictive value of last year's Holds total is basically nil. Mitchell Boggs was 3rd in baseball and now he's dead. KRod was fifth and he's terrible. Holds are fleeting no matter how many a guy had last year, and they are a totally waiver-wire acquirable commodity. You got tangibly more value in this trade, but as has already been said, it's pretty irrelevant.
-
Ok, now I'm starting to feel some lag on this board. Maybe some upgrades are necessary?
-
What is your MiLB.TV info? I always forget it. Email it to me bro
-
Really, this is just Ricky reverting to what he has been for most of his career. The period of aberration was the 2 or 3 years he had as a good MLB SP. Right now he's just being the same guy that he was through 5 years or whatever in the minors. He peaked sharply, but it was fleeting.
-
It definitely is until we fully fill out our minor league systems. I got Tony Cingrani for a middle of the pack waiver priority (I think). That seems like a case in point to me.
-
I'm just not sure why you felt the need to give up Doubront+ for Pestano? Doubront misses bats as a starter, he had a sub 4 xFIP last year and his DIPS are all below 3.50 so far this year. 2012 Pestano had more or less the same peripherals as 2012 Doubront, except as a non closing RP. And he's hurt right now. If anything, Doubront > Pestano IMO. Being said, it's only late picks being thrown around so you can't really lose hard. Maybe you just don't like FD.
-
I wonder how hard he's throwing?
-
That might be on your end. It's pretty snappy for me.
-
None of these names are really in the picture IMO, other than Luongo. Reimer Ward Price Luongo Fleury They'll be fine. Carey Price is really good. Reimer is legitimate. Ward is good. Luongo might still be good. Fleury sucks, but the team should be stacked anyway so they don't need a brick wall.

There will be a thread made a couple weeks before the draft in June (so maybe the last week of May), and people can post any cuts that they want to make. You can cut someone at any time, but there's really no point in doing so unless you want make room to use a draft pick before the draft. Also a date in February where we will cut down to 20 keeper MLB players and 12 prospects (rosters are not capped at all during offseason).

omg, an embedded .gif. I feel like a jew who just survived 4 years in Auschiwtz, and came home to have his first bowl of homecooked goulash.
