I probably paid too much to claim fuller but severely thin at WR, and also claimed chris thompson for small fee.

If NY keeps winning I think it's Tanaka otherwise I think Sale may honestly do this. Unless Q keeps this up

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Bill Simmons needs to realize podcast wise, there is such a thing as too much. I like his shows and 1600 but all this other stuff is awful The Ringer is putting out. As an old school wrestling fan, the new Bruce Prichard podcast is great. To some extent I agree but I'm a big greenwald/Ryan fan, and really like Robert mays and especially Kevin Clark for Nfl. Also enjoy 1600. So hit or miss like any channel

Great thread. I'll post thoughts soon

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) The real question isn't what to do with Saladino but can Lawrie recover from what appears to be a very serious injury. Lawrie proved his worth to the Sox and so did Saladino. Having them both on the team is a very good thing for next year I thought he just kept reaggravating a hammy. Is there an update?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) The MLB average for 2B in 2016 is .773. Throw into that Saladino ranks 22nd in all 2Bs in defensive WAR according to fangraphs while only playing 87 games so far this year means you are looking at a middle of the pack second baseman as is. Sure if a stud comes along you don't turn it down, but if this really is Tyler Saladino, he is a pretty acceptable player, assuming he doesn't improve or fall off. If he continues to improve you have a top 10 2B. Further - losing your starting second baseman, and being able to recreate that production, is the depth that playoff teams require (see Jose Ramirez). People should be excited about that.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) Came into last night down 68 points with Antonio Brown and DeAngelo Williams left to play. Ended up losing by 0.4 points Also, in my other league that has weekly payouts to top scorer, I had second most points by only 1.3 points because the refs refused to do their job and review the Kirk Cousins non-INT with 18 seconds left that they wrongly called an INT on the field Hah I wondered if that would affect anyone.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) It's amazing the amount of people that in here clamoring for a .750 .OPS player. He's fine. Not special by any means though and would be best suited in a utility role. .750 OPS players that can play 4 infield positions are valuable, especially when you have 4 more years of them for dirt cheap. This is the exact type of player we've been able to supplement into our lineup for the last decade.

I had no idea that Griffin was knocked out for the season on Sunday. McCown is the anti-Chase Daniel at this point.

Stryker's hate of saladino is among the more bizarre grudges on the site.

Phew, I thought our marketing had fallen off.

I find this very funny for some reason: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archiv...denmark/497543/

You need to reverse. I have baldwin. It's .5 ppr, I still think eventually Bryant will start getting those "every third down throws" he used to get. But bird in the hand, you know.

Friend is giving up on Dez Bryant. Offering him for Baldwin plus i get keenan allen in a keeper league. Thoughts?

I would like to borrow your cat please.

No need to play that game. Lets just admire this 3 position, great base running, great defense, super sub we've developed.

I really enjoy the roundtable pieces where you got writers from across different sites to talk on topics. Obviously, not expecting you to force those writers to always write, but I liked the format to steal from. For articles like "prospect of month" I think it'd be interesting for each to bring their spect vs. just an authoritative article. Since you are also covering the leagues by way of following the sox. I think it would be interesting to get occasional Sally league or other league notes of interesting players or happenings as you come across them.

You guys really spend a lot of time on whether some group of posters you can't remember ever believed or did not believe in a player at any one time.

Don't go in the attic

FYI, posted in financail thread but just some incredibly great news from the census report today. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/14/business...-2015.html?_r=0 2015 was a great year for people. Incomes up, poverty down, inequality down.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) I have a hard time believing that keeping those tournament games would have cost the NCAA money. People aren't going to stop going to North Carolina or Duke games because of a law that doesn't affect 99.9% of the population. As caulfield mentions, you aren't thinking of TV. They need CBS to be profitable to get huge deals in future. It's easy choice for them to make, plenty of states have stadiums.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/14/business...-2015.html?_r=0

The poverty rate dropped from 14.8% to 13.5% year over year. 5 million people are out of poverty from year before. That is incredible\ Hell, just read Justin Wolfers twitter: twitter.com/justinwolfers This is one of the best census reports ever recorded. Largest ever gains from 10th-80th percentiles. Income inequality decreased.

I think you are all overstating the pessimism of Saladino at SS. When we started acquiring, I think it was just weighted with "if we are going to compete you need more than a .620 OPS player at short". That was true, but was least of our troubles.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) I do agree with the NC GOP lady re: her comment on Baylor. If you're willing to remove your tournaments from the state, why not remove Baylor (or other schools) from competition? Right, the thing about the NCAA is it is too morally corrupt to ever make moral stances, but, they do respond to money. I think this is a sign that hosting there would take a bigger hit due to PR than having things hosted there. Then throw in NCAA moral outrage.
