Good to see we basically have five automatic outs in a row in Johnson, Blanco, P, Fontenot, and Theriot. I hate the Cubs organization. If .280/.357/.400 is an "automatic out," I'd love to have that automatic out in my lineup right now. Wait a few weeks and we'll be seeing .270/.330/.350.

Which of these players should I pick up...
cheapseats replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Fantasy Sports
I'm not crazy about Owings, but I wouldn't even consider Bannister for anything but a spot start. With his peripherals, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up pushing a 5.00 ERA and 1.5 WHIP. -
The hitters should be fine. I wouldn't worry about them at all.

Berkman and Dunn for Helton and Bannister?
cheapseats replied to cheapseats's topic in Fantasy Sports
Berkman/Dunn for Helton/Bannister is bush league as hell but so is Weeks/Wilson for Utley, and I actually like Weeks. After the first two weeks of the season, as well as Utley has played, the other guy in the trade would have a better record than he has right now by three or four points. He wanted Weeks because he has a very good offense in every category but steals, and he wasn't able to draft any closers, so he's lost saves in both weeks so far. Also, remember that total bases are a pitching category in that league, so relievers are more valuable than they are in standard leagues. Anyway, it's a bad idea to block trades for any reason other than collusion. If you attempt to police trades based on lopsidedness, how do you measure such a thing? Yahoo rankings? PECOTA projections? The commissioner's own idea of who's valuable and who's not? -

I'll probably need them, as I've been kicked out of the league. Not a big loss, as I had asked to be removed from the league after the initial episode of self-serving behavior by the commissioner. -

I did. -
So I'm in a private 10-team H2H league. It's a 6x6 league, with all the normal categories along with OPS for hitters and TB for pitchers. The commissioner is trading Todd Helton and Brian Bannister for Lance Berkman. The guy he is trading with has dropped Adam Dunn, and the commissioner has first waiver priority, so the commish will be getting Dunn, too. The same commissioner led a rallying cry to veto a Weeks/Brian Wilson for Utley trade (in which I'd get Utley) before the season started. I personally believe trades should only be vetoed when there is collusion, but if the commish believes that lopsided should be rejected, then he should be ashamed for even proposing Dunn and Berkman for Bannister and Helton, right?

PECOTA likes Liriano better on a per-innings basis than any of your starters but Peavy.

I wasn't here for that part. Were you making references to the penises of infants? That's kind of sick.

Yeah, with 8 LOB. He is not clutch. At all.

May 26, 2006. The Braves score two runs on a sac fly in the 9th. Cubs lose. That was cubbish.

Hart will not blow the save. BOOK IT! He didn't blow the save. Yet. nope. he'd just get the loss. Correct. There was no save opportunity. Had I bet each one of you a million dollars, I'd be rich. Rich, I tell you.

Is that a Heart of Darkness reference? If so, we don't allow literary criticism in game threads. Please see the FAQ.

Murton. He could...but isn't he still in the minors? Or am I a complete idiot? You're not the idiot.

because unfortunately aramis cannot cover all the territory between third base and second base This made me LOL. Bob Horner could cover all the territory between 2nd and 3rd. Michael Moore could too...but in a different way perhaps. Clearly you didn't witness the marvel that is Bob Horner.
