I wonder if by the time they're in ML systems whatever they do pales in comparison to ages 10-18
-
But the other giant variable is the wear and tear (regardless of velocity) before these guys are pros. Tons of stories about college coaches letting pitchers get overworked, but even in HS I suspect its the same
-
Strikeouts are up, so I guess that justifies the new development processes of young pitchers, but it's not as great watching a great pitcher for five years as it used to be watching them for 15.

I keep reading all these articles about how the average MLB velocity (and even amongh MiLB and amateurs) is going up, up, up. I don't think I need the data to know that most arms just can't sustain 95+ mph for very long without breaking.

I keep waiting for that significant step forward in young pitching health. But anecdotally this year feels like a step backwards

You all know him, but I love Brooks. Here he is showing some data on Fernandez: https://twitter.com/brooksbaseball/status/465975873871826947

I don't think you hold a press conference and have an MRI for non-elbow related injuries. Doesn't look good for Fernandez...

He's fine

Anyone heard from PPI recently? My offers and messages have gone unanswered for days. Again. Hope he's alright.

Not sure why it isn't working. One more try: http://goo.gl/gofonr

None. Is Young offering him to you, because he offered him to me like 8 times.

So when is the whole "BABIP" thing supposed to "regress" down to normal levels? Kenley now at .452, or almost twice his career BABIP...

Soliciting comments on my other league: is there ANYONE here that can offer me ANY REASON to believe Josh Reddick could be useful in an AL only league?

There's been some gold on waivers this season. Norris - .466 wOBA; 205 RC+ Blackmon: .430 wOBA; 163 RC+ S. Smith: .427 wOBA; 180 RC+ LaRoche: .405 wOBA; 160 RC+ Solarte: .376 wOBA; 137 RC+ #SSS

Sorry, that was a pretty lame window of opportunity I opened for Moss offers. My fault.

I may be moving Brandon Moss fairly soon if you want to throw out a bid on him.

Really ticked that the Rockies went out and got Morneau. Cuddyer obviously can't handle the OF. He should be at 1B with a CarGo/Blackmon/Dickerson OF.

I'm sure I underestimate how difficult it is to program some of these sites and features, but you would think he'd build a way to send out a message to every league's message board so he could push updates without Twitter or email.

I'm in no way advocating moving. Yet. But this has happened every season I think. Seems like it's getting worse. The frustrating part is there's no acknowledgement. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

It sounds like I'm in the minority, but I don't see this as being such a big idea. This league is terrific. But it is season-long format, so I'm not sure why 2 days not updating justifies leaving this site.

I've seen nothing. It's annoying. If those goes on for another 48 hours I think we need to consider our options. I think other sites use RotoWire too, right? Their site kinda sucks now, but in 10+ years on CBS I can't remember scoring not working

Would have to test the player pool(s). I'm just not sure what the upside to this site is anymore - though it's possible I'm ignoring some things due to frustration. Sick of hearing issues blamed on rotowire ("the data provider").
-
I realize Niv has a job and doesn't make money off Otto, but he is taking ours and the service we get doesn't come close to being worth cash IMO.
-
The ESPN "league manager" format is free to make for Insiders and could easily replicate the scoring and roster system. Arbitration would have to be organized manually.
-
Just tweeted at them...
-
Love this site and format, so hope we don't have to move...but they SERIOUSLY need to address the bugs and delays....
-
Not yet at the point of seriously suggesting this, but one day we may need to consider moving the league (same scoring, owners, rosters, etc.) to CBS or something to avoid these issues.

Speaking of tactics, it wouldn't hurt if more than one of us submitted help requests for this to leagues@ and Twitter. This is getting absurd.
