I think it's fair too. I had strong teams in the mid-00's, then those teams got stale and so I retooled and had a championship in 2010. It goes in waves depending on how you manage it. I would just be in favor of some logical changes. If we just simply eliminated all offseason trades until after keeper rosters are established, that would be a strong move. We should also be establishing keeper rosters, no matter how we do it, within a few weeks after the regular season ends. I do not know why we wait until the day Spring Training opens (approximately). This would solve a lot of problems.

I agree with a lot of this because the keeper system really de-emphasizes the draft. You can screw around with trades in the offseason, etc to get something in random deals. Here's what I would propose: 1. Keeper roster remain at 10 players (minors + majors) with 3 years when they make the MLB roster. The clock starts after 10 starts, 25 appearances, or 200 plate appearances in MLB. 10 total allows you to not be penalized if your crop of minor leaguers do well when they reach MLB. 2. Instead of keeping no one, you get to franchise a single player (NFL style). So, theoretically, Felix Hernandez could stay with a team year after year. You have to decide on the franchise tag in the week after the MLB season ends. 3. All players who aren't keeper eligible or the single franchise get dumped the second Monday after the MLB regular season ends. Decisions can be fresh from the completed season. 4. With that remaining roster, you can trade all you want amongst those players. I feel like that would simplify things and create a real draft instead of teams drafting fillers and what not by the 4th-5th round.

Just trade me Kershaw and then you won't have to make that same decision anymore! Are you still haunted by the A-Rod deal ?
-
Trying to pick the other 2 starts after Kershaw is becoming very difficult...
-
All-Star short week. Have we confirmed 3 starts maximum for this week ?
-
Everyone needs 7 number one, two, or three starters that week. No four game series after the Break this year, unlike previous seasons.
-
It's not that bad when you consider neither player is exempt after this year and Heyward is on the DL for awhile...
-
Do Australians run around the bases in the wrong direction ?
-
I wil also be out of the country starting Monday through April 28th. The second week may be a little more challenging than the first for Internet access. Just keep an eye out for too many starts.
-
I don't think it'll matter for the W-L outcome this week, but Rodelo has 8 starts against the Dealers. It could factor in a points tiebreaker though.

Re: Roadkill 2013 Major League Draft

wow, also on the yankees. :yahoo: -
Ron Washington's Crack Dealers, 2013 Keepers: C - Buster Posey - 0 (last exemption) 1B - Ike Davis - 0 (last exemption) OF - Matt Kemp - 371.25 OF - Jason Werth - 235.75 OF - Lucas Duda - 0 (exemption) SP - Clayton Kershaw - 732 SP - Anibal Sanchez - 455.5 SP - Matt Moore - 0 (exemption) SP - Jarrod Parker - 0 (exemption) RP - John Axford - 0 (exemption) Total = 1794.5 Please check me on this as I think it is accurate and exemptions correct.
-
Forgive me if this was addressed, but is Reddick exempt ? I thought he had 50+ AB's in 09. If I'm wrong, please disregard.

My $10 are in and will be dropping to a keeper roster soon.

Just from watching MLB Network, I like: Mike Krukow - Giants Jim Palmer - O's Bert Blyleven - Twins Jim DeSchaies - Astros Ray Fosse - A's Rod Allen - Tigers Mark Grant - Padres (My Fav broadcast team in general, love Enberg too) Jerry Remy is solid as well. Another guy who hasn't been given an opportunity, but I'd give the nod to is Matt Stairs. He's done postgames on NESN for about half the season and does a good job of being fair with the players and doesn't really hold much back. The only problem there is that he looks to be at the top of the list for the Phillies hitting coach position.
-
I'll be back. The last two years have been tough after the 2010 championship. Lots to do to get back there...

Darwin Barney is the bee's knees.

Barney is now the W.A.R. leader amongst qualified 2nd basemen in the National League. -
They have good intangibles.

After getting taken down in the last week of last season by a few points to miss the playoffs, my team is finally healthy enough to [expletive] up some chances this week and next. :good:

The Red Sox this season: First 22; 11-11 Next 22; 11-11 Next 22; 11-11 Next 22; 11-11 Next 22; 11-11 Thanks to Baseball Ref for that. And, the point of sharing this is Middlebrooks has basically prevented the club from sucking more. And, Gin & Tonic, I mean, Beckett and Lester have helped the Red Sox to a 13-26 record in games they start.
