• Until Fister gets his SwStr% over 8%, his value is going to be almost entirely determined by home runs though. I'd like to see some sustainable strikeout stuff first.

  Quasi Muto on September 6, 2011 2:51 PM

• Wow, Homersapiens owns Fister for $1, nice value!

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 6, 2011 2:27 PM

• Worth noting, all three of them are fly ball heavy pitchers. So, the BABIP should be lower than average due to a heavy fly ball profile.

  Quasi Muto on September 5, 2011 5:30 PM

• among pitchers with > 140 IP, only two others are in that BABIP neighborhood: Beckett at .236 and Verlander at .238.

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 5, 2011 1:05 AM

• Yeah, I was very surprised to see that his ERA is now under 3, despite posting much worse K/9 and BB/9 rates than he did throughout the minors.

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 5, 2011 1:03 AM

• Hellickson has been pitching like that all year--.237 BABIP, ERA is 1.21 points better than his FIP

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on September 5, 2011 1:00 AM

• Yeah, he had a 6-run lead through 3, so his approach might have changed a little. A very efficient 97 pitches on the day.

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 5, 2011 12:53 AM

• Pitching to contact? Pulling a Buehrle?

  Quasi Muto on September 5, 2011 12:20 AM

• Interesting game for Hellickson today. CG, 4 H, 1 ER (HR), 0 BB, 1 K. Second career CG, both against the O's.

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 4, 2011 6:06 PM

• Gordon is the perfect example of this. But, Alex Avila at $1 takes the cake. Putting up those kinds of numbers at C for $1 is simply outstanding.

  Quasi Muto on September 4, 2011 1:24 PM

• Alex Gordon? BABIP looks a tad high but: 13th in total points among all hitters, 2nd-best 3B, 7th-best OF, $5

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on September 4, 2011 12:17 PM

• Who's been the most quietly effective player on each of your teams? I nominate Jim Johnson ($1). He's been good for 6.3 FP/IP this year and has contributed 76.2 IP out of an SP slot.

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 4, 2011 11:35 AM

• Wow my lineup went off for 97.6 pts yesterday with another 65.1 (including Josh Reddick's 25) on the bench.

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 4, 2011 11:29 AM

• Detroit Ligers's trading block has been updated!

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on September 3, 2011 6:50 PM

• Everyone's Grudge's trading block has been updated!

  Quasi Muto on September 3, 2011 4:49 PM

• Sad, the Reds purchased Mesoraco's contract, so now he's $3 for 2012 instead of $2. Poo.

  Quasi Muto on September 3, 2011 10:24 AM

• 47 points out of Holland on the bench? Yep.

  Quasi Muto on September 3, 2011 9:52 AM

• Marc Rzepczynski'd

  Chicago Socks on September 3, 2011 1:38 AM

• Classic Derek Holland

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on September 3, 2011 1:30 AM

• Close race for first place here.

  Chicago Socks on September 3, 2011 12:57 AM

• Lack of facial hair is always the prime suspect.

  Quasi Muto on September 3, 2011 12:16 AM

• I'm blaming the fact that he doesn't rock the Guy Incognito facial hair anymore.

  Chicago Socks on September 2, 2011 10:34 PM

• What happened to Gregs? Certainly not the same guy he used to be. Another victim of the slider?

  Plakata on September 2, 2011 10:27 PM

• Gregerson is on waivers, in case anyone was interested.

  Chicago Socks on September 2, 2011 10:21 PM

• Huff and I are using league waivers to make a "trade". Bundy, Peacock and Grandal for Quentin.

  Quasi Muto on September 2, 2011 9:14 PM

• Won an important H2H matchup for me that is in our ESPN points league. I'm sure that White Sox-Mariners tilt was important to some as well...

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 2, 2011 5:50 PM

• Danks basically won an important matchup last week with that 10-K SO of the Mariners. So if I was a little exuberant in my bidding, that's why...

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 2, 2011 5:48 PM

• Wandy over his career has scored a lot better in this format, so I'm surprised I got him for 9 given Danks went for 8. thought Wandy would go for at least 11-12.

  Quasi Muto on September 2, 2011 2:37 PM

• yeah, I guess we agree, sorry

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on September 2, 2011 11:22 AM

• Danks is considerably younger and has been unequivocally better over the last three months

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on September 2, 2011 2:34 AM

• Kind of surprised Danks went for 8 and Wandy went for 9

  Quasi Muto on September 1, 2011 11:03 PM

• I got a free 1year sub to ESPN-mag once, it was amusing, but it definitely caters to the mainstream fan, which I am very, very far from being.

  Quasi Muto on September 1, 2011 1:39 AM

• Also, I don't think ESPN insider is all that valuable, but for $1 a year, totally worth it. The mag, which is also bad, has this article written by an anonymous athlete about some typically scandalous topic (sex, guns, drugs, race), so that is pretty fun.

  Plakata on September 1, 2011 1:37 AM

• I wouldn't say that I love Klaw or Goldstein's work, but you know other people are reading it, so it certainly has value.

  Plakata on September 1, 2011 1:35 AM

• But, I like Goldstein, LOVE the Up & In podcast

  Quasi Muto on September 1, 2011 1:22 AM

• After subscribing to them, my opinion of their work has gone down. I don't think it's worth paying for. You learn more from their twitter feeds.

  Quasi Muto on September 1, 2011 1:21 AM

• The Klaw is all kinds of fun to follow on twitter.

  Quasi Muto on September 1, 2011 1:21 AM

• To be honest, I can't stand BP (and told Eno Sarris as much tonight!), but I really enjoy Goldstein's work. I basically only read his stuff at BP. I also enjoy Law, and think he might have a better eye for upside, but he isn't as prolific.

  Plakata on September 1, 2011 1:21 AM

• The espn thing is a once a year promotion. Keith Law always tweets it out, and it usually happens in Nov/Dec. I'll let you know if I see it.

  Plakata on September 1, 2011 1:19 AM

• Yeah, I was curious about that. No big deal, imo.

  Quasi Muto on September 1, 2011 1:15 AM

• I proposed that final deal around 11:45 and Brendan accepted it around 12:10. Other trade offers I made do not appear to have been canceled.

  Montgomery Biscuits on September 1, 2011 12:49 AM

• So the trade deadline appears to be over now.

  Quasi Muto on September 1, 2011 12:44 AM

• Also: Kimbrel has scored a ridiculous 9.93 points per inning pitched on the season. The average Kimbrel inning is an extra 4.93 points over a standard "inning". That's just ridiculous.

  Quasi Muto on August 31, 2011 10:47 PM

• haha, thanks!

  Montgomery Biscuits on August 31, 2011 10:46 PM

• I just wish it were possible to subscribe to Insider only and not get the ad-filled mag.

  Montgomery Biscuits on August 31, 2011 10:45 PM

• And I like the new team name, Mike

  Quasi Muto on August 31, 2011 10:44 PM

• * Anywhere else, not anything

  Quasi Muto on August 31, 2011 10:44 PM

• I'm not quite as impressed with BP after I've subscribed to it, I seem to get more info following the guys on Twitter than I do anything else

  Quasi Muto on August 31, 2011 10:43 PM

• Debating whether Insider is the better deal or not

  Quasi Muto on August 31, 2011 10:42 PM

• Joe, where do you find this $1/year ESPN the Mag & Insider deal? That is way cheaper than anything I've seen.
