• Your top 5 vs. RHP: J.D. Martinez, Corey Dickerson, Adam Lind, Devin Mesoraco, Kevin Kiermaier. (That Trout guy is 6th.)

• Doing some "fun with SSS" research this a.m. As much as my current roster sucks, was encouraged to learn that I'm carrying 4 of the top 9 in vRHP wOBA. Platooning could be fun again next year!

  The Syndicate 💣 on July 3, 2014 7:31 PM

• Madison Bumgarner has pitched 41 IP in Durham's active lineup this season and 42 in my own active lineup. He averaged 7.27 P/IP in Durham's rotation and 4.42 P/IP in mine. #managing

  TTBNL on July 3, 2014 7:00 PM

• Dellin Betances in play right now -- shoot me a message if interested, would be looking primarily for well priced offense

  Hungry Hungry Homers on July 3, 2014 6:29 PM

• Kind of waffling about this since he is playing like the ultimate building block, but I am in a discussion about Lonnie Chisenhall. msg me if interested.

  Eckfords ⚾ on July 3, 2014 12:58 PM

• 5 of the current RP top 10 are owned at $1

  Hungry Hungry Homers on July 3, 2014 12:40 PM

• Highest BABIP, lowest HR%, Swing% fairly static, AND drastic increases in velocity. Time will tell, but I think more anomaly than normal.

• Perfect Pitch, Inc.'s trade block has been updated!

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on July 3, 2014 11:27 AM

• JD Martinez will be good case - made some swing changes with good results so far, although HR/FB and BABIP rates definitely coming down some.

  Caimans 🐊 on July 3, 2014 11:27 AM

• Durham's starting pitching YTD has been 20% better than my own over 47 more IP. My RP have been 18% better YTD over just 6 more IP. Our P/IP have been nearly identical for a month. It just adds up.

  TTBNL on July 3, 2014 11:25 AM

• It's easy to look for regression when huge seasons are driven by luck factors, but when they are driven by actual changes in skill set harder to ignore - on the offensive side, thinking guys like Bautista

• Frosted Mini Weeks's trade block has been updated!

  Koufax Curveballs on July 3, 2014 11:24 AM

• If the results are due to an increase in velocity instead of luck factors, and the increase in velocity is sustainable, I don't see why the results can't be sustainable.

• Trey is the world's biggest apologist for RPs.

  Koufax Curveballs on July 3, 2014 11:13 AM

• Jesus, not this again

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on July 3, 2014 11:07 AM

• I still think great RP are vastly underrated and will have the numbers at season's end to prove it. 9.5 P/IP (and for $1) aren't as available as you think...

  TTBNL on July 3, 2014 11:06 AM

• I can't complain too strongly since I never made an official offer for Doolittle (and value RP more highly than anyone else)...

  TTBNL on July 3, 2014 11:04 AM

• Nice move by Chiefs buying a top 10 RP for $1 for two prospects who didn't even receive a second bid when auctioned a month ago.

  TTBNL on July 3, 2014 11:02 AM

• Call me a skeptic, but I struggle to see this as sustainable (best season at any in his entire career at any level). Pretty drastic increases in velocity. Just sounds too good to be true. I don't think it's sustainable, but, again, that's just my opinion

  Sunflower Seed Finger ☝️ on July 3, 2014 10:55 AM

• For what it is worth, I am willing to be wrong about Garrett Richards. Everyone seems to think I am, and I really haven't proven that I know what the hell I'm talking about.

  Sunflower Seed Finger ☝️ on July 3, 2014 10:54 AM

• I didn't want to drop Hammel; he's been very solid, but he'd have been used least from the remaining guys on my roster. Surprised only one team tried to claim him.

  TTBNL on July 3, 2014 9:55 AM

• Hammel is kind of a surprising drop to me....has been through a rough patch with HRA but man he has been solid this year. WGW are you jealous that I am now collecting Cubs left and right?

• I think they will be relatively few and far between but that just makes them more sweet as they happen!

  Little Red Birds on July 3, 2014 12:47 AM

• WGW: What does it feel like to get a Mookie HR in your active lineup?

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 11:25 PM

• Doolittle is on the trading block. Let me know who has interest. I'll probably give it a day or so before I make a deal.

  Koufax Curveballs on July 2, 2014 8:35 PM

• "Catcher In the Ryu"..."Pence & Sensibility"..."To Kill A Marlon Byrd"...you can see the theme in this league...

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 8:29 PM

• Going through some other leagues to record July 1st standings to see how accurate my spreadsheet is at season's end, and I've come across some awesome team names out there:

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 8:28 PM

• Nice. But John Thorn would raise you a Chicago Whales jersey! LOL.

• It's my third cap from Ebbets Field Flannels. Incredible quality. I'm a sucker for the old short bills too.

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 7:21 PM

• That's an awesome cap

  Hungry Hungry Homers on July 2, 2014 7:13 PM

• Jed, I see your sweet jersey and I'll raise you a cap: https://twitter.com/Fazeorange/status/484462288364396544

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 6:25 PM

• I am alive and ok. I opened a business in mid-May, just my wife and I doing everything so it's a little time consuming. I'm committed to being involved through the rest of the season and into next year.

  Koufax Curveballs on July 2, 2014 5:16 PM

• I learned my lesson after not ponying up for Kris Bryant last summer.

  Eckfords ⚾ on July 2, 2014 5:08 PM

• Was really hoping Jed would get stuck with a $15 Schwarber AND $15 Refsnyder...

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 5:00 PM

• Dellin Betances has more points than Justin Verlander. You can't predict baseball...

  Sunflower Seed Finger ☝️ on July 2, 2014 3:28 PM

• God Verlander sucks too. It's going to be awesome to cut him.

  Hungry Hungry Homers on July 2, 2014 1:12 PM

• With that said, July 1 is probably a good time to confirm whether everyone intends to remain in the league next year. My hope is all will, but please let me know if you will not return for 2015 so we can be well prepared for the off season

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 12:24 PM

• I realize less than half the teams are actually in a pennant race as of July, but hopefully everyone is still committed to staying active for the full season.

  TTBNL on July 2, 2014 12:22 PM

• He rejected a trade proposal from me just the other day

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on July 2, 2014 12:17 PM

• May 4 was the last time I heard from him. Hope everything is OK.

  Asheville Tourists on July 2, 2014 12:15 PM

• Anyone heard from FMW...since May?
