    Draft and hold best ball league Only sign up if you can make the draft or will do good prerankings. Currently scheduled for a weekend afternoon end of March. https://www.fantrax.com/newui/fantasy/joinLeague.go?leagueId=5vm65ewtl0q5fprw

    They did that recently if memory serves
  8. Laika
    Yes. Last year.

    I think Castillo is worse than Berrios and Gausman. Also a chance Manoah is better but who knows.

    Yeah hard pass on Votto and Moose. I love Votto but have no interest in his contract
  11. Laika
    Yeah and sinker always works well with a slider. Interesting thing with Price - also no slider. Looks like he had one as a rookie/sophomore but turned it into his cutter.

    If baseball is dead-set on ending games early I think rather than the runner on 2nd rule, I would prefer something like this: If the game is tied after 12 innings the team with the most base hits is awarded the victory. If tied in hits, the team with the most players reaching first base for any reason wins. If tied there too, you just get more granular (least amount of pitches thrown, highest strike percentage, I dunno). And the rulebook would probably have a coin flip at the end that would never be used. Why? No stupid on the field stuff and if hits are the first tiebreaker it kind of incentivizes putting the ball in play at all times. I dunno.

    Votto is a hall of famer for that career transformation alone, lol he is so freakishly good. it's insane.
  14. Laika
    Yeah see Jon Lester is the lefty starter that I think of when I think of cutters. I don't think he even threw a slider.

    I looked at the top 1B in both 2000 and 2010 and a LOT of them fall off a cliff at some point around 33, 34 years old. Guys like Pujols, Adrian Gonzalez, Miggy, Fielder, Tex, Konerko, Helton, Giambi, Delgado, Olerud... ... almost none of them are guys you would have wanted on a big contract for their mid-late 30s. Most gave their teams a bunch of negative WAR seasons and maybe a couple league average years. I don't think many people, even certain SABR people, give age effects the appropriate consideration. They can make all the difference. When it's a 32 year old vs a 27 year old like Freeman and Olson.... I mean history tells us that Freeman may have 1 or 2 more good years before he sucks and Olson should be good for most of his contract.

    I wonder if he should just drop the cutter entirely? Like do you really need a fastball variant without elite movement that is 92mph when you have a 4 seamer that is 95? I wonder if the cutter just does not complement his 4 seamer slider combo well...
  17. Laika
    comp in what sense? plenty of elite 1B types have cratered f***, Miggy fell off a cliff at 34
  18. Laika
    well that's good. babies need food.
  19. Laika
    congratulations daddy boxcar did wife make you get rid of all your poisonous spiders?
  20. Laika
    Was just thinking about you that's all
  21. Laika
    Gasp
  22. Laika
    Craig Goldstein left it out because he's a disingenuous hack
  23. Laika
    welcome to BJMB bring your own towel the safe word is "Boxcar"

    I just cannot wrap my head around how: 1. runner starting on 2nd is an abomination that is disrespectful to the ghost of Cap Anson but 2. letting games end in a tie is fine You can only hold opinion 1. if your other opinions are basically "they should never change anything about how the games are played, judged, or decided" like, even having the pitchers not hit is a fundamental chance to game mechanics...
  25. Laika
    good thing you put your money where your mouth is and stuck with it in all your dynasty leagues right
