    Thanks Jerry Narron. Sincerely, My fantasy team

    P Justin Berg The odds of that guy ever reaching the majors are about 1 in a million. Is he really that bad? I haven't followed his career. Nope, but he's not exactly a top prospect either. Bad season at rookie league, followed by a very good showing in Short Season A ball before being dealt to the Cubs, where he only appeared in two games. He turns 22 in June, and has worked as a starter and a reliever.

    That's what I do, I figure the benefit in the counting categories outweighs the risk of hurting you in the rate categories if the other player isn't as good. So for example, I should replace a player (even though he's a better player) if he doesn't have a game that day with a bench player that has a game as a rule? And pitching wise, I should activate pitchers on the day they pitch and activate bench pitchers on other days (assuming I should start my closers every day they have a game)? That's what I do, I'm not a fantasy pro so I don't know what the most common way is.

    Continuing the trash talk from the league site, Vance is going to pay for taking all those outfielders I wanted.

    I think the 75+ IP he had last year at the major league level with a .219 BAA and 10.6 K/9 matters more than the 8+ IP he has in spring training this year.

    1:00 class with computers that I do stuff on during class anyways = gameday until class is over

    Agreed. That crowd was so jacked up when he hit that. I thought for sure the game was going to the Cubs after that. I'll never forget Len Kasper saying that Wood's home run was the loudest crowd he's ever heard. Now excuse me while I go puke for a moment. Uh, Kasper wasn't around back then.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    What are the good moves that he makes? Putting his team in the best position is what he's supposed to do, anything less than that is him hurting the team. That's why the manager can do little to help and a lot to hurt.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Not with all the time Wood and Prior will miss :( With them missing a bunch of time Z is our only big HR threat from the staff. I dunno, Maddux and Rusch can both swing the bat pretty well. On the other hand, Marshall doesn't inspire much confidence with his career .322 OPS(15 PA's, but still...)

    while I don't know what the Indian's bench situation is, I know many people around here would be going ballistic over this move. A bench role is much different than a starting role. Also consider that the Tribe are an AL team that doesn't have to use it's bench as much, and according to some friends I talked to when I was up there this week, Gutierrez and Snyder are close to being ready in the corner OF where they have Michaels and Blake now. In addition, going by ESPN it looks like they are only carrying one backup outfielder, so the ability to play all 3 OF positions(even though Michaels can play CF as well) is more valuable in this instance. Cleveland also has the benefit of seeing all of last year's performance from Dubois. Sorry for the hodgepodge of thoughts.

    There is absolutely such thing as winning despite the manager. It's unfortunate for those who hold the position, but managers can't do a whole lot to help a team. They can do plenty to handicap, but outside of instruction(which a manager doesn't do a whole lot of anyways), there's very little they can do. If Dusty starts 9 pitchers in the lineup and we win 1-0 because Zambrano went the distance and hit a home run, I'd say we won in spite of the manager's foolishness. The same thing applies to a much lesser degree when managers do stupid things like ignore L/R splits or OBP, or favor some players over another without valid reason. Also, evaluating a combination of 2 hitters by W/L record says nothing. Comparing Neifi/Patterson and Hairston/Patterson is easy, it's simply Hairston v. Neifi. And offensively there's no contest, Hairston is the far superior hitter, and much better suited to hit at the top of the lineup.

    Rowand is their CF. Victorino probably goes back to the minors or is wasted as the 5th OF. Ack, forgot about Rowand. Dellucci seems excessive, wonder why they picked him up. They paid a decent price for him.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Are they unhappy with Victorino? I can't imagine Dellucci replacing Burrell or Abreu.

    12 teams, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, OPS, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB C Varitek 1B Dunn 2B Roberts SS Peralta 3B Wright OF Giles OF Drew OF Holliday Util N. Johnson Util DeJesus BN Michaels BN Willingham BN L. Gonzalez (Col) SP Peavy SP Zambrano SP Hudson P Linebrink P Betancourt RP Nathan RP Gordon BN Blanton BN Shields At first glance I'm really happy with how it turned out.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    I think you have a pretty good team. Not fantastic, but far from mediocre.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Cubs were using as a starter for a few games in the minors last year. He started 3 games, and relieved in 30.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    I would think Ardasma and his 99mph fastball and knucklecurve. Aardsma at 99 mph? McKamey's prospect book has him 88-95 on the FB.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Dusty takes old hitters from scrap heaps and helps make them better. TLR does it with the pitchers. They have a lot in common in a lot of ways. What hitters are those? In either case, I'd have to give more credit to Duncan and the hitting coaches than the manager.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Nothing quite like Bhogg starting a game thread.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Are you sure about this?
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    I can't believe that Koronka is the best they could do. It's just impossible.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Go Vance go!
