    Middlebrooks starting to heat up. Nice blast.
  2. a700hitter
    Are we on for the $20? Essentially, we are just wagering the entry fee for the league. The winner plays for free.
  3. a700hitter
    The Guardians are lighting up King Felix-- 5 runs after 2 innings.
  4. a700hitter
    BTW, while Trout was the # 1 player in the Opening Rankings, he is ranked 16 now versus a #4 ranking for Segura. Wow, this is so one-sided!
  5. a700hitter
    No, you are not getting what I am saying. You rarely do. I am not saying that Segura is the better player than Trout. That's not my point. My point is that he is a really good player. He is my top offensive player and he plays a premium position. Pairing him with a good pitcher and meeting 2 needs of the other team in return for Trout would not disrupt the competitive balance of the league. I made the offer of the bet to keep this issue out there with a light on it. I think the outcome will be close, and I think Segura will be the top fantasy player at his position when the year ends, and that will show that the trade would not have disrupted league balance, except to the extent that it would have improved my team and iortiz's team. That is what a trade is supposed to do. But no, there will be no sig bet. I only make a sig bet when it is a sure thing. Do you agree to the metrics beginning on Monday?
  6. a700hitter
    I'd go with Victorino, Pedroia and Ortiz at the top. I want my best hitter getting an AB in the first inning.
  7. a700hitter
    So, do we have agreement to these terms?
  8. a700hitter
    Iortiz, these guys are just sore that I had the good fortune of scooping up one oft the best players in the league off the waiver wire. So, they have to denigrate the guy's talent and achievements as he is tearing up the league. You need pitching and your SS isn't very good either. It is a completely fair trade, but they are in a snit that I picked up both guys on the waiver wire. Let them veto the trade. The proof that the trade was fair will be that Pal will be tracking Segura's and Trout's fantasy point totals every week and it will be close. If Trout wins but doesn't win by a blow out, I don't know how they have any argument as SS is a high premium position.
  9. a700hitter
    Scoring System RBI -- 1 pt R -- 1 pt TB -- 1 pt SB -- 1 pt total points measured beginning on Monday. Agreed?
  10. a700hitter
    So, trades have to be exactly equal in your opinion or they should get vetoed? That's just ridiculous. Your argument is far from compelling. If you are so sure that this is a one-side trade, you should have no problem making a side bet on Segura vs. Trout using an agreed upon fantasy point system. I'll take Segura. You take Trout. Nothing extravagant. How about $20?

    A productive Middlebrooks is a must for the Sox to be a playoff contender. Wow, Nava has really produced some power this season. He continues to do a great job.
  12. a700hitter
    Papi is a lethal weapon
  13. a700hitter
    ^I was close. He couldn't get through 5 when we get him 7 runs.
  14. a700hitter
    Trades that disrupt the competive balance of the leage are the ones that are supposed to get vetoed. We are 2 games apart in the standings and we always play each other to a draw. We will probably be neck and neck with each other right to the end. I guess UN is paranoid being at that top of the standings. He's used to being at the bottom of the heap.
  15. a700hitter
    He'll be lucky to get through 5 innings tonight.
  16. a700hitter
    This is the Dempster that I remember from the Cubs. High pitch counts and lots of walks. He escapes again.
  17. a700hitter
    Lavarnway has the graceful mobility of Frankenstein"s monster.
  18. a700hitter
    Dempster is one of those guys that pitches just well enough to lose each game that he pitches. Give him 8 runs of support and he will not make it through 5 frames.
  19. a700hitter
    Of course if my good friend, Israel wants to reverse the trade, I would not force him to make a trade that he regrets. There would be no hard feelings on my part.
  20. a700hitter
    Segura's numbers are almost equal to Trout's. He's a big upgrade over his current SS. Kendrick is having the best year of any Phillie pitcher. i think the trade helps both teams.
  21. a700hitter
    It's the damn Twins and Vance Worley. With Buch on the mound, we should be trashing these guys.
  22. a700hitter
    or possibly she was someone else's wife. Crazy s*** happens. Eck's wife left him for his room ate and best friend -- the Guardians CFer Rick Manning. . Ironically, he was know more for his glove than his stick type.
  23. a700hitter
    They all cheat on their wives. He must have something else on him.
  24. a700hitter
    I would have Nava or Drew lead off and drop Ellsbury to the bottom third of the lineup. Ortiz has to get hacks in the first inning.
  25. a700hitter
    I'd prefer that he get a pilot's license.
