  1. How is that received on your island?
  2. Does he belly up to the dinner table with his utensil arm hanging like Kimbrel's right arm. That is what I would want to know.
  3. All random.
  4. Yep, and translating the "hard" portion of your statement, the margin for error is very very small. Even the slightest effect from nerves can make the most steely nerved professional fail.
  5. This is going slower than I had expected.
  6. DD is saying that Price will probably not be ready before May. Good news for Slasher.
  7. Possibly building trade value.
  8. I think most people acknowledge that "clutch" is just the absence of choking or choking less than your peers.
  9. If it was proved that a random order was as good as any other, every manager would be doing it -- just one less thing for them to have to think about. Managers love push button decisions.
  10. If I get the first pick again, that would be clutch.
  11. All the permutations and dynamics could never be quantified in a reliable way to prove or disprove anything.
  12. If it was true that lineups didn't matter, managers would do it consistently as it would relieve them of second guessing. Picking lineups out of a hat would become part of "the book".
  13. No need to do that. We can just sum it up with the following. I think you are wrong and you think I am wrong. And neither of us can prove or disprove the other's position.
  14. If it was a fact, that is how managers would do it.
  15. It looks like he responded positively to the pressure from Marco Hernandez.
  16. Karlos has joined. We have 12 teams which should make the draft very competitive. The draft order will be randomly selected half an hour before the draft. The draft is scheduled for 7 pm.
  17. The Rutledge situation is confusing. DD lets him go. He signs elsewhere as a FA. His new team leaves him unprotected and DD claims him with Rule V. He comes with limitations attached in that he has to stay on the ML roster all year long or he can be reclaimed by the other team. Is there a reason why DD, didn't just sign him instead of doing it this way?
  18. The draft will be held on Sunday. Two invitations are outstanding. Gringo has an invitation waiting to be accepted and iortiz's friend Karlos also has an invitation. That will bring the league to 12 teams. That should make the draft a lot of fun.
  19. Marco Hernandez is lining the ball all over the field. If he continues slashing like this, maybe he will beat out Pablo as a starter. It would be funny if he lost the starting job 2 years in a row. Pablo could sit on the bench and be the first one on line for the buffet spread.
  20. Send me your email in a private message and I will send you an invitation to join the league. The dues are $20.
  21. I was also wondering about whether he had come up with a new pitch. A few years ago, Rich Hill started spinning his curve ball more and it made a big difference. I haven't read anything about him working on a new pitch. Some of his success has been due to pitching against nonstarters -- weak lineups.
  22. Is he worth a first round fantasy pick?
