Thanks Fred, I needed something like that
-
Funny me, I thought their name was a beer growler due to Bells Brewery in town , not a bear growler
-
I might need to get one of their caps. This one (https://kalamazoogrowlers.square.site/product/growlers-blue-and-yellow-stripe-hat/90?cs=true&cst=custom) has kind of a Ukrainian thing going on too. Unfortunately it’s one of those 1-size ones, which don’t work for everyone—in particular people with gigantic Bondsian horse-heads. And their marketing people call it a “hat”, which is annoying.

The Kalamazoo Growlers have issued a lifetime ban for Rob Manfred :https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2022/03/04/at-least-one-baseball-team-has-now-issued-mlb-commissioner-rob-manfred-a-lifetime-ban/

The league never ceases to surprise ; just heard about a single A pitcher that throws 102, look him up, and Brent owns in both leagues !
-
This league has always loved prospects.

its 9 degrees here , football is over so i'm hardcore baseball prep no matter what the lock out status is . One would think Id have more to show for all the work i put into this
-
So 61 of the top 100 prospects ( CBS list which is midgrade at best ) are rostered . Including 40 of the top 50. Charles has 5 of the top 20 numbers, 1, 2,3, 11 20. Taco has 6 of top 20 numbers 4, 8, 9,10, 13, 14
-
I thought Harper would be in draft too, but Charles was able to work his magic
-
Mike Trout is available. That should be interesting.

Not so fast Charles, Henry looks formidable

Since we can't improve ourselves via draft, and Charles has most of the too prospects to trade ,why not just send him the trophy and the money now and save the aggrevation ?
-
The auction really doesn't look that exciting to me. Maybe two guys with no question marks. A bunch of big names with a ton of question marks, and a bunch of $10 guys that will go for $20. There's a lot more to buy in Capped.
-
1b and C the shelves are empty
-
3b is stacked with stars and studs wow !
-
Now I’m wondering which is which.

Mikey their names are Waldorf and Stadler . An even better analogy is George Burns and Walter Matthau from the movie the Sunshine Boys ( which Joe would say he never saw or heard about )
-
Joe is also a specialist in the bad take (though he’d never talk up Orel, or any Dodger). Too much time driving around listening to sports talk radio and the sirius mlb channel and inadvertently soaking some of it in. But unlike Fred (though perhaps like some of us) he could be provoked down an endless rabbit hole.

So true. But I prefer the analogy of the two old curmudgeons up in the balcony of the muppet show.
-
Joe vs Pat was like old SNL skit , Point Counterpoint
-
It’s times like this that we really miss Joe, as that last comment would surely have prompted a multi-message response complete with statistical analysis.
-
Indictment for what crime? That’s a bad take. I’d much rather have Burnes’s 168 IP in 2021 than any of Orel’s seasons, even when he had 100 more innings. And that’s letting Orel pitch to 90s hitters (and he couldn’t even strike them out).

Old Wainwright got 206 innings last year
-
what a sad indictment of todays game it is when 180 innings is considered a lot. where have you gone orel hershiser

But I feel good about my team overall with the little cash I have to fill some holes.

I still think after last season though the 180 plus ip pitchers are fading and honestly I want as many of them on my team. Don't want to rely on guys that are on limits abs so in when I need them down the strech

I don’t know Fred, looks to me like there’s too much cash ($1455) chasing not enough talent in the auction. Especially SPs—only 1 SP in the auction (Mad Max, now 37 and a Met) scored more than 825 points last year, and only 2 more (Gibson, Flexen; excited yet?) scored more than 675. Not sure where all this cash will go. I was a little surprised none of you other wanna-be contenders besides Charles made an offer for Buehler.

Looks like cash is king this year
-
Fred's inspired me. I need to shed more salary, someone make me an offer on Nick Castellanos.
-
This is the great reset year that I have long prophesized about
-
And I am very much up for another season or two of SOM while we wait for real (and fake) baseball.
-
That box was pretty wrecked by the time it got back to me, I am pretty certain I retired it. I did reuse the bags and bubble wrap though.

Just saw the umlaut :D

If folks are serious about the strat league I can reach out to Kris and Mike to see if they’re interested in playing again. I wonder if anyone still has that beer box?

Still deciding about Freeman and Buehler. Looks like trades can still be proposed…if you’re interested in either at these salaries offer me someone I’d keep.

I suspect that this group does not need a reminder, but don't forget to get your last minute cuts in by 11:59 tonight.

Henry kicked my ass sideways in our matches
-
Mikey whoever was on slack thread was in the league
-
Sorry, I meant to respond to the earlier message. I'm all in if someone wants to start the Stats league up again. And I'm pretty sure I can get Nancy and Dan back. Was George part of that league? If so, I can work on him as well (having a bit of a flashback to the Seinfeld episode about worlds colliding).

For strat-o-matic players , new " cards " set comes out Friday. John Hook, you are not allowed Coors as your home park
-
Yes, I really wanted to explain my "other" reason as something like "Owners lockout".
-
Thanks for the reminder. I just cancelled. Too bad you can't select "lockout" as your (required) reason for cancelling.
-
Fred, one might argue that it’s not so bad.
-
I just canceled my MLB.tv subscription so it wouldn't auto-renew on March 1. I'm not giving MLB owners a dime during the lockout. In case any of you want to adjust your subscriptions before the auto-renew draft on your accounts.

looks like there is some meat on the bone in this years draft , too bad NGB isnt here to see it , as his position was always strongly that there wasnt going to be anything i
