this man the MLB has some loathsome restrictions IF YOU CIRCUMVENT, OR ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT, ANY BLACKOUT RESTRICTION OR OTHER USE RESTRICTION: YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE TERMINATION AND A CHARGE OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) FOR EARLY TERMINATION; YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL ACTION; AND MLBAM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REPORT SUCH MISCONDUCT TO APPROPRIATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES. you used to be able to mask your IP but that seems like a dicey thing to try
thats pretty much why i've sworn off points leagues. it seems like im the only one who notices the inherent biases towards a certain type of player pre-draft. but to be fair, couldnt you have quickly perused last years stats and noticed the point distributions heavily skewed against starters- saving you from the wasted picks of peavy, doc, etc?
and if we had traded Marshall, he might be putting up quality starts every time out and we'd wish we still had him. i'm not really crying over spilt milk.
San Diego's biggest problem right now is offense. Pie certainly doesn't fix that. one could argue that a SS producing right around a .600 OPS has contributed to this problem
true, that does bear mentioning. before this past offseason i had felt Beane was being a little overrated in comparison to the other great GMs because of the book. but my god, his two trades netted an incredible return. and am i the only one tired of the phrase "pixie dust"?
it really is a legitimate question as to why there's so much grousing about a player who has OBP'd .400 for us thus far and the ignorance has festered to the point that these types of asinine statements are being made
am i the only person who thinks Cedeno's gaudy stats would be considerably lower with additional ABs? a full month of .400 on-base and Theriot still can't get anybody off his back on here. tough crowd.
SportsNation Jerry Crasnick: John, It was a good, low-risk pickup by Jim Hendry. You could tell that Piniella wasn't very enthused about running Felix Pie out there day in and day out, so Johnson is a nice security blanket. In case you haven't noticed, Sweet Lou doesn't deal well with young players making mistakes when he's in "win now'' mode.
