  1. If he continues to punish the baseball, he can be a diva. He wouldn't be our first diva.
  2. And there was nothing wrong with J.D.'s game. His problem was that he didn't play enough.
  3. Salty down on strikes too. What a surprise!!
  4. He kept up his pitches per AB which is soooo important.
  5. Rice said in his day they didn't tell him or Yaz to walk. "No one walked except the mailman.":lol: He said they liked 1 hour 45 minute games. I do miss the days when a game took less time than a round of golf. IMO, the length of the games is the biggest factor undermining the popularity of the game.
  6. This is a pretty even matchup. Both of these starters are on the spectrum between meh and suck.
  7. Oh, I think I said "the league". I was referring to the AL. IMO think he is definitely a top 5 hitter in the AL, but it depends on the metric being looked at. I measure a hitter by how tough he is to get out. Mauer has the 5th highest career OBP of all active players. Runs are produced by getting hits and getting on base. Mauer is one of the best. He is still top 5 AL, IMO.
  8. Nava has fond memories of Blanton. He is the guy who served up the first major league pitch seen by Nava that he hit out of the park for a Grand Slam.
  9. Mauer has been durable and consistently excellent.
  10. From 2006 to present, Mauer has won 3 Batting Titles and finished in the top 4 in 5 seasons. I know Batting Average means nothing , but he also finished in the top 3 in OBP in those 5 years, and that means something. Other than his one injured year (2011), his worst season in that span was 2007 when he hit .293 with an .808 OPS. The guy is a complete stud with the bat. His value isn't just as a catcher. He is a top 5 hitter in the league.
  11. Pedey, Mauer, Ortiz? I have to go take a cold shower.
  12. If they have Napoli when Ortiz retires. Plus, if the big man is still hitting like this next season, I think he gets re-signed.
  13. I have seen that happen so many times to visiting Left Fielders at Fenway.
  14. Hopefully, there is nothing wrong with his shoulder.
  15. That big man punishes a baseball. Wow!!!
  16. Rubby had a good outing today-- 5 innings, 4 hits, 1 Run.
  17. In today's Met's -Marlins game, both starters Fernandez and Harvey had quality starts, but Marcum pitched 8 innings of 1 run ball in relief and Kevin Slowey went 7 innings of shutout ball in relief. You don't see that very often.
  18. We have to keep him on the field.
  19. Doubs needs to stay healthy and strong and not crap out like last year in the second half.
  20. I wanted to get some opinions of other Fantasy players regarding a trade in one of my other leagues. Here it is: Longoria for Keppinger and Trevor Bauer It is a keeper league with 16 teams. Each team gets 4 keepers to carry over to the following season plus 1 minor leagues keeper. During the season you can have 4 minor league guys on your roster, but can only keep 1 for the following season. A player doesn't count toward the fantasy roster while he still has rookie eligibility (i.e. under 130 ABs for hitter and 50 innings for pitchers). Bauer has 32 innings of MLB service. Rosters only carry 4 bench spots. What say you.
