I think I'm being driven by fear. So sad to see Max go :(

Gee, thanks furbush. I've been reading baseball prospectus for 2 days now. That's all I needed. More fuel for my inner nerd. It's pretty embarrassing when my wife asks me what I'm reading.

In the preseason, wild-eyed optimism governs, not realistic concerns about other AL Central teams...getting rid of Jordan Danks was all that stood between the Sox and a WS, and Jordan is now gone!
-
White Sox favorites in the Central? Hahaha, remember we still have a pretty damn good ball club.

Zimms and Fister are walking out in '16, thanks to Scherzer signing. Strasburg is a FA in 2017, that's 2 full years of control for a contending team - best trade bait especially '14 season for Strasburg.
-
Maybe not this year, but Strasburg, Zimmermann and Fister are all free agents in the next 2 years. Not to mention Desmond and Span, and Harper is a Boras client so he won't be signing an extension any time soon.

I'm sure the Nats have tried, still be tough with remaining FA SP: James Shield. Rewind a bit, ask yourself this question: Did the Nats NEED Scherzer???
-
I think the Nats are trading Zimmerman - Not Strasburg.

There is a strong demand for Strasburg in the AL East. Nats would most likely send an ace to a different league. Suprised Texas doesn't abandon Gallardo and unload prospects for Strasburg.
-
Hmm...Nationals need a shortstop with Desmond becoming a free agent next year, right? Perhaps the Yankees could interest them in a shortstop who has accumulated 111 career WAR and is under contract for 3 more season?

Love this league, it's comedy w/o any effort. Let's play which team gets Strasburg! Yanks and Red Sox wooooooooooo
-
Renew deadline is based on the annual anniversary of the date that you joined the league, and my recollection is that we didn't form the league until late February (with a mid-March draft). I can see when each owner's renew deadline is (with those who have a 2016 renewal deadline having already renewed), but cannot change the date. I'd also like everyone to renew before the draft, but my role is as commissioner, not dictator.
-
Draft is March 1. Not February 15. I think everybody should be paid before a week before the draft. That way we have a week to find a replacement if someone bails last minute.

Ok, lets address something, my renew date is March8, draft date feb15th-does this make sense to anybody? I could wait until March 7 and drop the team. How is this fair? Commish how do you know who has and has NOT paid? Do you know everyones renew date? Something needs to be done about this before the KEEPER deadline, and certainly BEFORE the AUCTION IMO! How about the rest of you?
-
More importantly, though, is that, as of last Friday, the White Sox have signed all of their arbitration eligible players and are now ready to look to the season ahead. With Scherzer heading to DC, the White Sox are looking like the favorites in the AL Central. Objectively speaking, of course. Only a month (give or take depending on your favorite team) until pitchers and catchers report, hope you all are getting excited! With the Colts loss last night, I certainly am!
-
Three teams have renewed thus far. Ideally, everyone would renew before the draft (or, if anyone decides to not return, would let me/us know before the draft as it would probably be easier to get a quality replacement if said replacement could control his/her draft). I know it's early, but wanted to throw this out there now. I will circle back to those who have not renewed by mid-February to confirm whether you will be renewing and continuing with the league.

Hey Guys, does anyone know if Past Time is returning? Haven't heard from him in awhile?
-
and Plumbers has been active with a few trades

And Plumbers pulled a trade not long ago. I wouldn't worry either. You and Winterfell signed up within a day or 2 of your predecessors abandoning your teams, so it shouldn't be a problem even if they were gone. Which they're not.

Check the calendar and previous discussion on this issue, draft is set for Sunday, March 1 at 1:30 pm (ET).
-
I have many teams and would like to request the date for our AUCTION! IMO this should be a firm date set BEFORE keeper deadline and before we pay for our teams!

Along with my trade block, I work M-F till 7pm cst so my dealings will need to take place after hours or on weekends.
-
Hamilton Porter's trade block has been updated!
-
Castellanos was almost as bad last year. I'm hoping he can have an Arenado-like transformation or he'll likely have to move to LF.
-
When Miggy was at 3B last year, it was funny to see why every opposing hitter tried really really hard to pull the ball towards LF! I think it worked to Scherzer's Cy Young year, hard to pull off him fairly and a lot of hitters end up in 0-2 foul striked counts.
-
We know the importance of defense. I think it's even more important in the postseason but the Padres are in a much different boat than Detroit. While the Tigers have to hitters already and can piece all glove/no bat guys at SS and CF, the Padres needed bats in a bad way. Weird to see them add this many though.
-
Man, if I were a Pads fan, I'd be terrified at the thought of Wil Myers manning CF and Kemp might be the worst defensive OF in the game. It's one thing to have 1 terrible defender in the OF, but side-by-side there's nobody to pick up the slack. That lineup is going to be fun to watch though!

Also defensive shifts are applied widely in both OF and INF. Statheads can have their say, but honestly, MLB hitters don't hit all 27 outs to the OF nor even LF.
-
Defensive matrices apply when one can not hit, if a player can put up above average offensive #'s at non demanding positions such as 1B and OF, the runs lost to poor range are negligible.
-
Is it? Everyone they acquired is almost as bad a defender as they are good at hitting. I'm personally stunned the Yankees traded an old guy for a young guy. I don't even care for the trade, I just wasn't sure Cashman was aware you could do that.

Junior Lake: I hate to tip my hand on team cuts for Danksforallthefish, but was getting sick of the trade inquiries.

Wait, strike that, if we get Scherzer, we don't need a competent 4th SP...the rest stands, though...
