lol, surely there was some better option to start this game, or be on the roster at all.
-
Lourdes looks incredible. The Franchise.
-
CF - Pompey DH - Morneau LF - Tyler O'Neill 1B - Freeman 3B - Eric Wood RF - Rene Tosoni C - Kottaras 2B - Orr SS - Jonathan Malo SP - Ryan Dempster ...... Dempster is going to get his tits lit. 20% chance Canada wins? It is baseball.
-
trash just hit the ball the Bautista and Reyes on the left side, and win the game
-
That he doesn't play as many games at 2B as Travis? sure
-
I think it's more likely that Steve Pearce will not play any 2B this year
-
Set to process on Saturday. It's basically just a pause on action so we can sort rosters out after the Big Flub.

Schimpf slugged .300+ at various levels, in various seasons. He played important positions. He walked a lot and didn't strike out an egregious amount. The mistake was labelling him an org/utility player. A massive but not uncommon scouting failure. There was probably some ageism and same batting average bias skewing all opinions of him. -
Okay, that's my bad. I'll drop Bettis (your worst player) and give you Crawford. You'll have the rights to Bettis until the season starts or until you make any other acquisition that is not Bettis (because having illegal Blanton would have prevented such moves anyway.)

Okay, the league is reset. I was able to enter the majority of the rosters through the offline draft tool. Please check your roster via https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15xd1v6IbtyDrTBxks1ZLQj9OLbwu5YiChPb3wXBmc7s/edit#gid=1654393122 and let us know if there are any missing players or errors so we can fix. I was only able to enter 25 players so teams with NA stashed players right now might be missing a guy. Also, some recent trades might not be processed. I just need to fix waiver priority. Honour system - who made a waiver claim after the draft? Players right now are back on waivers for fairness. They'll process Saturday. After that, business as usual.

If any other commissioners are up late and Yahoo exits read-only... Commissioner Tools >>> Submit Draft Results The tool is actually pretty quick. It only takes ~2 minutes per team. The archived rosters are six posts up ^^^
-
Reset the league. History is still there. I put in 50% of the rosters through the offline draft before Yahoo went into "read-only mode" and prevented any more input. I'll finish up tomorrow. Rosters will probably be 98% correct. I'll ask everyone to make sure their roster matches the March 8th save tomorrow.

Who here uses MLB TV to watch the WBC?

Saved today's rosters: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15xd1v6IbtyDrTBxks1ZLQj9OLbwu5YiChPb3wXBmc7s/edit?usp=sharing. I'll probably reset the league tonight and see what happens. My big worry is that resetting the draft will delete our old league histories, somehow.

I think I just broke the league. I was fiddling with the roster settings to see if you can add BN spots after a league drafts (trying to think of ways to reduce auction time in the new league.) I switched our BN slots to 10 and added some players to test. Turns out you can. I then dropped the players and went to switch it back to 6. Nope. You can only add BN slots after the draft. Seems like there's no way to reduce it without resetting the league. And it even says this in the fine print of the commissioner tools... Sooooo we might have to reset the league and re-add everybody's roster lol. In my defense, this is a really stupid technical limitation that should not exist

Miggy is so locked in already that he's literally murdering babies Bernie Pleskoff @BerniePleskoff Home run to right/center field for Miguel Cabrera-his first of the spring. Hit a small child sitting on the berm in the head.
-
I think you are absolutely correct. Scouts absolutely LOVE to talk about guys "filling out" and moving down the defense spectrum. Whether that be 3B --> 1B, SS --> 3B, CF --> LF... it seems like every prospect who is is 6'2", 6'3" or greater gets some caveat about it. There are probably historical examples of this happening, but "filling out" is almost never the primary cause. Players age, lose range, wear down, are no longer competent at positions... even the one example that comes immediately to mind, Miguel Cabrera, wasn't a case of him all of a sudden being too big to play third base. I think the myth of "filling out" and losing defensive skill or utility is just a weird way for scouts to express that they don't think the player is good enough at a position to play there long term. Like, if you have a fringe capable shortstop, of course if he gains 20 pounds and loses a bit of range, you'll move him off the position.

To be completely fair to the Twins, Brian Dozier exists and they were 7th in MLB in FB% last year. Perhaps it is just Kepler who is dumb. And Buxton - I've read in other places that his approach is super old school and awful. And yes of course, players like DJLM who have decidedly below average power should probably not max out their FB rate. Kepler has pop though.
-
What does "long ground balls" even mean? He tries to roll them to the outfield wall? lmao
-
SELL SELL SELL all of your shares in Max Kepler! The Twins are awful. I bet Buxton spends his entire BP trying to squirt groundballs through the right side.
-
No I meant the storage space filled with popularity

Wow, Lourdes seems extremely tall. Wasn't expecting him to look that... tall. Supposedly he is 6'2" but in that video he looks bigger than that. Height listings for MLB have to completely bogus. There's a lot of talk about how rare Tulowitzki is to be playing SS at this size for this long, but look at these listings (Fangraphs): Seager 6'4" Correa 6'4" Bogaerts 6'3" Tulo 6'3" Didi 6'3" Alexei 6'3" Machado 6'2" Crawford 6'2" Is it possible that Tulo kind of kick-started a "Taller Shortstop" trend? Anyway, it's possible that Lourdes might have some personal structural limitations in manning shortstop long-term.

The five tools of music are Instrumentals, Vocals, Looks, Personality, and Creativity. (Present/Future) 40/40 - Instrumentals - it is what it is at his age. he's not an average guitar player. 40/50 - Vocals - he needs to find himself on the mic but the tools are there for him to be a league average Tom Petty cover singer. 30/35 - Looks - an important tool in a market based business where you have to sell yourself. Barry's stature is a huge obstacle, but HDMH and he's not like, classically hideous or anything. 30/30 - Personality - he's a shrill little dweeb... the cachet from being on TV will sell some tickets and keeps this from being a 20 grade. 20/20 - Creativity - he's in a cover band... I definitely think he's a tool. OFP - 40. I think Barry Davis can front a slightly below average Tom Petty cover band in the Ontario market. There will be the odd stinker of a song, so he needs to find a track list that suit his personal tools (or lack thereof.)

Dinger is having a weird, NJH style offseason - spinning his tires in both directions.
-
He probably should break. Team looks thin af
