    didn't see it posted, but an Ohio State DL was found dead in a dumpster over the weekend of a self-inflicted wound; just a terrible, sad story http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/11/30/body-found-near-ohio-state.html

    Gardner was awesome two years ago and at times last year (ND, OSU) i think he was just kind of ruined by bad OL/coaching/injuries like is happening with Hackenberg now
  3. sneakypower
    yeah, wonder how they would have responded to a Baez, Torres, N. Ramirez, Wood offer

    does the International League give out individual awards?
  5. sneakypower
    he's Michigan's Plan A, B, C and D they probably write him a blank check, basically
  6. sneakypower
    this is unbelievable
  7. sneakypower
    something comparable or better should easily be gotten using stupid Baez but we're annoyingly reticent to wash our hands of that headache
  8. sneakypower
    we very well should have been
  9. sneakypower
    and the guys they really liked are injured and the rest are rookies/unprovens it's a really ignorant meme
  10. sneakypower
    it'd bother me far less than the Heyward trade did
  11. sneakypower
    damn, nice block by Nova

    If that is what it takes to get a $20 million contract, none of us are going to be able to afford going to the ballpark. Last year NESN generated operating revenue of $230 million and cash flow of $60 million, according to SNL Kagan. [source]

    i'll never play in a league with tenth-points

    To use more relevant numbers, Sandoval has been worth 13.4 wins in 523 games the past 4 seasons. That translates to about 3.8 wins per 150 games. If he could manage to stay healthy enough to average that many games, at that pace he'd be worth about $114M over 5 years. That obviously doesn't take into account decline or a likely position change if and when his body worsens. So yeah, I still don't think he's worth that contract at this stage, but it's probably not as bad as you're making it seem. a win on the open market is looking to be much closer to $7M right now

    fwiw, here's the list of starters: age 35-37 this year http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=sta&lg=all&qual=50&type=8&season=2014&month=0&season1=2014&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=35,37&filter=&players=0

    that seems like a huge bargain, but i'm one of the biggest Hanley fans there is
  17. sneakypower
    punting on their 39, settling for 20 yard FGs Caldwell is...frustrating
  18. sneakypower
    yeah, whomever started Jonas Gray today is probably getting a goose-egg out of it
  19. sneakypower
    no Lavonte David today
  20. sneakypower
    yeah, it's half PPR and he's a safe bet to at least reach something like 4/50 (7 pts) which is close to Murray's upside (16/77? 22/119/fumble?) given that the Chiefs don't allow rushing scores i'm mostly left hoping Cutty/Charles/Gordon approximates Luck/Lacy/Cobb putput since i seem to have the team advantage aside from that
  21. sneakypower
    who to flex Latavius Murray vs. KC Brandon LaFell vs. DET
  22. sneakypower
    fangraphs projects us for 27 WAR (75-87?) http://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=17 23rd in Batting/Fielding, 25th in SP, 6th in RP full league breakdown: http://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=Team

    if they don't like Coghlan, you could probably just instead volunteer to take Carlos Quentin's $8M salary off their hands and DFA him after ST or whatever I'm curious if you prefer Cashner over Ross or if you just thought him a more realistic target. more realistic, but the difference between the two isn't major, in terms of my preference
