• And Belt's wrist goes "Pop!". Seriously?

  Quasi Muto on June 4, 2011 7:52 PM

• Wow, my 5x5 league really must be dead. I just found out that Kyle Lohse is unowned. 7 wins and a 2 ERA is unowned in a 12tm 40man 5x5 league? What's up with that?

  Quasi Muto on June 4, 2011 9:30 AM

• Yeah, I started Shields the other night in picksix too. 4 HRs allowed to the Ms in Safeco, unreal.

  Montgomery Biscuits on June 4, 2011 6:56 AM

• -7.5. Brutal.

  Plakata on June 4, 2011 12:37 AM

• Isn't the point reduction in picksix wonderful? Sonnanstine so far has been not as bad as Avila, once you factor in the SP scoring reduction.

  Quasi Muto on June 3, 2011 10:58 PM

• Right, in picksix, that was -8 or so.

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 10:04 PM

• Well, I started Shields in safeco last night for a tidy -33, so good luck out there.

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 10:02 PM

• I started Andy Sonnanstine today in picksix. Somehow I think that's going to come back to haunt me.

  Quasi Muto on June 3, 2011 9:29 PM

• Of course, but there's a risk associated with players that, you know, play: they might score points. So might as well agree to pick guys that will play.

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 7:51 PM

• Ah, but for the Mariners award, you not only want players that'll play, but play poorly. Therefore it's in your best interest to have everyone play.

  Quasi Muto on June 3, 2011 7:41 PM

• Lowest score wins, but you gotta spend $110. As an on-your-honor gentlemen's agreement, I say no Sherrill (still costs $25+), and no players you know aren't playing.

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 7:20 PM

• Mariners Monday sounds like a plan. I could care less about the overall standings. So for Mariners Monday, lowest score wins? (We should keep track of this within our league to see who wins the most of our "event" days at the end of the season)

  Quasi Muto on June 3, 2011 7:10 PM

• Thanks man. I would be up for a Mariners day. Good point about the BABIP. He's stolen a few bases, so maybe he has some sneaky speed.

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 3, 2011 5:56 PM

• Ligers, another great showing in picksix yesterday! Folks wanna try for the Seattle Mariners achievement sometime next week?

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 1:12 PM

• As for his ROS ZiPs, they're buoyed by a 330 babip (current babip is 395!), which I'm dubious of. But you're right, a 340-360 wOBA out of 2b is great. Of course, now you have to trust LaRussa to play him...

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 1:06 PM

• I'm not questioning his rosterability, I'm just surprised you were willing to pay $11 for him.

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 12:59 PM

• There are 10 middle infielders with a higher ROS ZIPS wOBA (all of whom cost $20 or more) and I think ZIPS is underestimating Craig's power.

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 3, 2011 12:14 PM

• Good power and walk rate, which minor league stats and prospect pedigree say is sustainable, still fairly young, second-base eligible for at least this year and next year. What's not to like?

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 3, 2011 12:11 PM

• Ligers, you bid $11 on Allen Craig? Do you have some kind of insider info on this guy?

  Plakata on June 3, 2011 11:54 AM

• Detroit Ligers's trading block has been updated!

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 3, 2011 10:37 AM

• He's been on my watch list, but he wasn't really ownable until he hit AAA, imo.

  Quasi Muto on June 2, 2011 5:15 PM

• that is really strange, I just assumed someone had him. I guess we all might have dodged a bullet

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 2, 2011 3:28 PM

• Weird, how was Lamb unowned in this league?

  Plakata on June 2, 2011 3:00 PM

• Breaking news via twitter, John Lamb of the Royals to have UCL replacement surgery tomorrow. AKA Tommy John.

  Quasi Muto on June 2, 2011 2:16 PM

• I didn't even realize it, but I think I also spent less than $80.

  Plakata on June 2, 2011 1:36 PM

• Taking another shot at TBRays achievement today, wasn't much in the way of expensive talent that I liked.

  Quasi Muto on June 2, 2011 1:10 PM

• Great picksix showing yesterday! 2nd and 4th is awesome. I was looking at the pts/entry leaderboard yesterday, and Mike is 5th all time. Very impressive!

  Plakata on June 2, 2011 12:23 PM

• I don't think people really understand just how big a deal Alabama/Auburn is here in Alabama until they live here. I'm from here and it still scares me. And I'm every bit as football obsessed as I am with baseball.

  Quasi Muto on June 2, 2011 2:41 AM

• 2 and 5... I can't score any more though

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 1, 2011 11:00 PM

• And as soon as I said that, it fixed itself and I'm now in 2nd.

  Quasi Muto on June 1, 2011 10:20 PM

• I never pay attention to it till the next day. Although Bautista is listed as scoring me 0 points, when he's 1-4 on the night.

  Quasi Muto on June 1, 2011 10:19 PM

• hah! did you notice that we're #4 and #7 in pick six for today for the moment?

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 1, 2011 10:07 PM

• Haha, you think our news has anything else to cover? Alabama and Auburn football practices won't start till July or whenever. There's nothing to cover until then.

  Quasi Muto on June 1, 2011 10:02 PM

• yeah thanks for asking man. I doubt that this would even be news where you are but pretty crazy to have even one legit tornado in these parts

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on June 1, 2011 9:49 PM

• If he can ever figure out how to not walk 18.9% of the batters he faces, he's going to be pretty dang good. All you MA guys handling the weather ok?

  Quasi Muto on June 1, 2011 9:22 PM

• You really want little Tim Collins back?

  Plakata on June 1, 2011 7:45 PM

• Correction: So in regards to "our" email chain regarding...

  Quasi Muto on May 31, 2011 12:55 AM

• So, in regards to "our" (or at least that which took place between Tommy and I while the rest of you were off having a life) regarding inactive teams, a) how will we determine inactivity, b) what will the time period required be?

  Quasi Muto on May 31, 2011 12:50 AM

• This is true. But how can one ever live up to a player who spent years on a team known as the Boston Beaneaters?

  Quasi Muto on May 30, 2011 2:12 AM

• Dude's got a lot to live up to... http://bit.ly/lICPYf

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on May 30, 2011 1:04 AM

• Note: He is in A ball, and OBP'ing .286. Partly that makes my jaw drop that he's that terrible with a bat, partly that makes me go "how did he attempt 46 steals with a .286 OBP?"

  Quasi Muto on May 30, 2011 12:27 AM

• If anybody's looking for a sneaky steals play down the line in a dynasty format, take a look at Billy Hamilton, 2B/SS for the Reds. 40 steals in 45 games.

  Quasi Muto on May 30, 2011 12:26 AM

• Projected order of finish: Ligers: 18048, Umpire: 17746, OMG: 17664, Grudge:16936 , Kings: 16770, Babip: 16578

  Quasi Muto on May 29, 2011 10:02 AM

• After the end of game action tomorrow, I'll update the scoring paces. This one will be a google docs spreadsheet, so everyone will have it.

• Per Bochy: Belt to be used off bench. ... Is it a requirement to have a sub-80 IQ to be a major league manager?
