I was just thinking about this argument the other day not that this has a lot to do with anything, but i saw corey hart's obp the other day and had to do a double-take when i watch him face a rhp with a decent slider i wonder how he made it to the big leagues.
that are taking place on monday and tuesday. and the fantasy week runs monday-sunday...or at least it has every other week in this league's history. i would have guessed neither game counted. Even though I really never agree with Adam about anything, I agree with him here. We don't count games outside of the week of play for anything else, why would we do it now? that's not true. the first week we count the games before Monday (Japan games, the Sunday night opener. yeah, but the japan teams and the sunday night teams usually have fewer games during the actual week. the white sox are getting an 8 game week now.

geez, remember when he was in the running to be the closer during spring training? that would have lasted two weeks and he probably would have been murdered outside wrigley.
if it weren't for these two clowns, i wouldn't care one way or another whether the white sox won or lost. but boy is it fun listening to those two when the white sox lose.
here is a list of people who have inappropriately brought up posters' personal lives in this thread because that is all they are capable of doing because they suck at arguing... mizzou
someone should figure out who his superior is and demand his termination posthaste Shouldn't you be busy starting threads crying about how your wife left you and telling everyone how you can't ever get laid? my goodness, dude, go headbutt your frat bros to release some of that tension.
is that just the only left-handed throwing outfielder you know in the cubs' system? because that's a pretty terrible comparison. and yeah, i remember him (snyder) being a rf at the beginning of his career.
yankees better be careful about trading cano...after trading tabata, they'll only have melky cabrera left as an over-rated name to dangle out there in trade talks.
i see the rationale behind the number changing as the player being further removed from playing that position. in the same way soriano isn't eligible at 2b because it's been so long since he played there, 2009 ian stewart is further removed from being 2b-eligible, so the games played requirement for him to be eligible there is higher. i don't think i said what i wanted to say very well there... i agree with you there.
yeah, except dempster could not be used in any way at all unless he was made a SP. you could still start stewart at whatever position he's eligible at. i mean, i guess i just see that as a tough break for you. just like how fielder got like 58 ab's his first year, thus making him non-exempt for this next season. i'd sure rather the ab limit go up to 100 or whatever, but that doesn't mean it should. it seems like you just don't like the rules all of the sudden because it hurts your team.
the position player eligibility is not analogous to the SP/RP situation. if you didn't make a guy like dempster SP eligible until he made 10 starts, you'd be unable to use him in any capacity for nearly 1/3 of the season. you couldn't start him at RP because he would be starting, and you couldn't start him at SP until he made 10 starts. obviously that doesn't make sense. you can still play alexei and ian stewart til your heart's content at the positions they are eligible at. i don't really see any reason to change the rules as they are now.
geez, quite the sense of entitlement from a bunch of fans who have been cheering for a loser their whole lives. i want it clinched at this ballpark, against this team, on this day, at this time, while i'm wearing this pair of jeans.
