• Any contenders interested in adding Joe Mauer for the stretch run? I will cover his salary. Would like a cheap prospect in return...

• Short answers: no playoffs, yes players can be dropped in the offseason w/o a penalty. Rosters can also be above 40 players until the beginning of the next season.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on August 1, 2011 3:40 AM

• can players be released in the offseason without penalty?

  Blue Suede Schus on July 30, 2011 3:26 AM

• are there playoffs?

  Blue Suede Schus on July 30, 2011 3:23 AM

• Aug 31 at midnight.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on July 28, 2011 6:21 PM

• when is the trade deadline?

  Cinéma Vérité on July 28, 2011 3:50 PM

• Hi all. I'm glad to see interest in next year. I'm not sure what will happen with the pitching points, but I did propose this: http://bit.ly/qDAfVO . It produces results that track runs allowed more closely. Makes little difference at season level.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on July 27, 2011 10:53 PM

• I'm planning on playing next year. I really like the structure of the league. The scoring for pitchers has been an adjustment, but I've gotten used to it over time.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on July 27, 2011 9:15 AM

• Wow... that's hardcore. So I'm assuming Bautista will be that guy... And yeah, my biggest issue with the pitching stats is the -12 for a HR given up. I Justin Can't wrap my head around that 1.

• Finally, there is also an arbitration system in which we will vote one of your players into free agency, but you get a $5 discount if you make the winning bid on that player.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on July 27, 2011 1:09 AM

• Also, given the current rules, all players with major league service time will cost $2 more next year, players still in the minors will be $1 more.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on July 27, 2011 1:08 AM

• I'm definitely interested in continuing the league (my roster is constructed that way anyways). Justin designed the points system and recently proposed an adjustment on the rotographs site.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on July 27, 2011 1:06 AM

• I really hope this league is going to be continued for more than just next year. I am also curious about the how much we pay players next year.

  Cinéma Vérité on July 26, 2011 12:14 PM

• I have a few questions... First off, is this league happening again next year? Secondly, will there be any adjustments to the points systems? (I hate the pitching stats!) And lastly, if we want to keep players on our team, do we pay them the same amount..

  La Russa's Drivers Ed on July 26, 2011 11:30 AM

• I only caught the tail end of the game, but Vizcaino looked fantastic. Awesome curveball, great command of it, too.

• I watched it the next day, it seems like Yonder Alonso has been knocking on the door for 5 years. I wish they would play a double header or something so we could see the pitchers for a couple innings

  Blue Suede Schus on July 12, 2011 10:53 PM

• Sounds like you need to invest in a DVR brother

  Blue Suede Schus on July 12, 2011 10:52 PM

• Unfortunately, I missed it. Was remodeling the bathroom all weekend and needed to finish up. I've enjoyed hearing conversations about it. This is the first year I've really delved into the minors, and it would have been fun to see some of these guys.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on July 12, 2011 12:07 PM

• what are peoples thoughts on the futures game yesterday? Altuve was even smaller than I thought. Good to see Tim Beckham turn on that fastball in the 8th.

  Cinéma Vérité on June 28, 2011 2:41 PM

• I was SOOO tempted to bid on Altuve. Probably should have paid a buck for each inch over 5 feet tall.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on June 26, 2011 8:13 PM

• I knew Manny and Morneau were big gambles, but I didn't expect to get zero production from both, lose Posey for the year, and still end up in the middle of the pack. All in all, I'm pretty satisfied with my overall outlook going forward.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on June 24, 2011 4:33 PM

• One of those situations where the pitcher scores seem um, counterintuitive. Monday I got 15 points from Morton in only 2 IP despite 7 runs allowed. Can't beat that 11 points per inning rate, though. Lucky for you Pavano hits like an AL pitcher.

  Jesters on June 23, 2011 1:43 PM

• Bumgarner last night -- in my other league the 216.00 ERA really hurt. Here, it was 3.67 pts for .1 IP. Efficient outing.

• Missed time, plus underperformances by the top four $ players even when healthy. Tried to play stars and scrubs a bit this year, and this is what can happen when you do that. :)

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on June 20, 2011 9:16 PM

• You've had quite the run of injuries Justin. I think I've had a lot of guys get hurt, but nowhere near the quality of your injured players. Kindof hard to make a run when your top 3 guys all miss a significant chunk of time.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on June 20, 2011 3:44 PM

• And down goes Pujols. That's my fault for saying Mauer was back. Time to start thinking firesale....

• I'd like to trade some of my catcher depth: Mauer, Soto, or Lucroy. Looking for SP, RP, or OF. I'll look around over the next few days, but if interested drop me a proposal.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on June 19, 2011 1:01 PM

• This season has been a disaster, but at least Joe Mauer is back....

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on June 18, 2011 9:44 AM

• Thanks, that's what I thought. Rat Morsels - contact Niv about Ackley, I had the same issue with Teheran earlier this year and he fixed it.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on June 17, 2011 1:04 PM

• why doesnt ackley qualify for my lineup when desmond jennings and brett lawrie do?

  Cinéma Vérité on June 17, 2011 10:27 AM

• Felix - I'm pretty sure we don't have playoffs in this league.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on June 17, 2011 10:19 AM

• A rare sighting of the elusive MannybeingManny! And I thought he was extinct!

  Jesters on June 17, 2011 1:58 AM

• Is there a playoff structure in this league, or is it strictly a regular-season deal? I can't seem to find anything in the rules, but I'm curious for determining rest-of-season strategy.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on June 12, 2011 9:13 AM

• Good deal on the player. But he wouldn't have been so cheap if you were buying the performances that resulted in his current rank.

  Jesters on June 1, 2011 1:09 AM

• Did I just get the 10th ranked pitcher for a buck?

  La Russa's Drivers Ed on May 31, 2011 12:34 PM

• Well TLS, that wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen :-) Seriously - there's still a long way to go.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on May 31, 2011 9:08 AM

• Anyone else worried Carry On is running away with this thing already?

  South Side Sufferers on May 29, 2011 9:13 PM

• Just when he was starting to heat up, Posey gets cut down at the plate. This has not been a good season for high-priced catchers.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on May 26, 2011 3:25 PM

• No kidding. If Cruz, Pujols, Uggla, and eventually Mauer (if he comes back) were all to start hitting, I might really have something here.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on May 25, 2011 8:33 AM

• And Pujols has a homer this month, too!

  Jesters on May 24, 2011 10:47 PM
