QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:04 AM) Good god.. debating if I should start the two underachievers (Andre Johnson vs KC defense and Trent Richardson vs Denver defense) or start the two with better matchups.. (Terrance Williams vs Philly defense and Eddie Lacy vs Cleveland defense) I got L. Bell on the bench too. (Shady, Cruz and my flex Decker are automatic starters) Could use some advice. Are you in a ppr or standard league? Cause outside one game Andre has been very solid in ppr formats. To answer your question, definitely Andre and Lacy.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:35 AM) Where did you hear Jacobs was out? He's not, he's good to go.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:13 AM) 1. Jacobs is out, Randle is unlikely to get big numbers. Johnson will get those most PT of the three. 2. Even injured, I'd prefer Fitz over Douglas. Jacobs is playing and Randle has a juicy matchup. I'd still probably go CJ but blah.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:15 AM) Keenan Allen against Jacksonville, Greg Jennings against the Giants, or Terrance Williams against the Eagles? Definitely Allen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 16, 2013 -> 08:14 PM) Sorry kid, this isn't the NCAA anymore. Rose broke him down He didn't even defend that poorly, Rose was just narsty.

Poor Peyton Siva.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 16, 2013 -> 07:52 PM) Any impressions of Snell for anyone watching? Twitter says just made his first 3. He's getting more confident each preseason game. I loved the pick and think he'll be able to contribute right away, it just obviously depends on if Thibs will give him pt.

College refs probably got about 20 percent of those block-charge calls correct.

Lol

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 11, 2013 -> 02:25 PM) Every new day you hear or read about idiots outdoing the previous day's idiots- and with remarkable ease. Things that once not too long ago would have been considered unacceptable quietly continue to become the acceptable way of life. It has everything to do with society catering to the weakest link. That Kentucky is stopping handshakes after HS games is not going to stop the world from turning by itself, but it's just another in a long, long line of disturbing absurdities. I'm 26- I can only imagine how some people twice my age feel. You sound like a blast to be around.

QUOTE (staxx @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) pick one trade PPR: alfred morris, TY hilton and jared cook for maurice jones-drew, jermichael finley, danny amendola or alfred morris and TY hilton for danny woodhead and Gronk my team: russell wilson, matt ryan marshawn lynch, doug martin, alfred morris, jonathan stewart, david wilson calvin johnson, justin blackmon, TY hilton, harry douglas, tavon austin jared cook The second one. Keeper league I take it? Not sure how it'd be possible to get Marshawn, Martin, Morris and Calvin otherwise.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 05:40 PM) Why else would they want to dump De Aza? His offensive output is actually pretty nice. It is absolutely because of his defensive and base running IQ. Nobody knows if they're trying to get rid of De Aza or not.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 05:42 PM) I wonder how much Hulk asked for. It isn't like he can work intense crowd pleasing matches Supposedly he was getting like 30k per appearance from TNA.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 05:49 PM) So if Sale is an injury waiting to happen, why would a GM offer 3 top 50 prospects for him??? Remember all the great prospects "fans" thought Peavy would bring?? Well the Red Sox turned down Peavy for Bradley. If Sale is an endangered species as some feel, he will not bring back a windfall. Therefore I expect to see him in a White Sox uniform next spring ready to win 20 games next year. At this point people around the league probably realize that Sale is no more likely to get hurt than any other pitcher.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 05:29 PM) I'm against moving Sale because I don't think any team would meet the asking price it would take to get him but it can't hurt to listen to offers. This is probably the best way to sum up my feelings as well.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 12:55 PM) LOL, WWE is like "Thanks but no thanks, Hulkamania" http://rajah.com/node/36573 That's cause they're going to shell out a ton of money to Austin for the Rowand dream match of Punk-Stone Cold. No they're not but I can dream.

Ya I've met way too many people on this site. Been to 2 peoples weddings and still stay in pretty consistent contact with 2 people at the moment. Very sad.

So if you're in a yahoo league and have Sproles you'll have 2 more points and if you have Pierre Thomas, 2 less points when the stat corrections are added in tomorrow.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 04:00 PM) I don't think there's anything wrong with being a fan of Cabrera. He was and still is a monster. Well duh. But I hate him now cause he's a big fat stupid face who beats up on my favorite team cause he's a mean person.

RB is obviously insanely thin this year but I highly doubt it ever becomes standard to go to 1 rb only spot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 04:19 PM) We are in a thread inspired by an article saying they would push hard for Granderson. Ok sorry, rumblings from fans and mystery sources. Just making a point really that the Sox wont come out and say they use or don't use a specific stat just as they wont come out and claim they're trying to upgrade from De Aza.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) I don't honestly care what baseball fans think. I care if the organizations think it is worthy, and then you actually have hit your standard of "widely accepted" and "state of the art". If not, their opinions aren't any more widely accepted than the "eye test " group out there in baseball today. If the Sox felt those numbers were an accurate representation of De Aza's true value, there wouldn't be rumblings of them looking to upgrade his spot. Rumblings from fans, nothing out of the organization. Everyone would be fine with upgrading from De Aza, it's just not as easy to do as some people seem to believe.

I really enjoyed Captain Phillips.

I actually really liked that Marlins team at the time too, looking back at it some of the players I liked are just gross now. I was a big fan of Pierre, Castillo, Carl Pavano, Cabrera and Beckett at that point, yuck.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 12:48 PM) Rowand, remember how we were talking about how you picked up Julio Jones since a guy dropped him without keeping it through? 2 days later that happened in my league, and I was able to pick him up. I don't think anyone else went for him either. He was a 2nd round pick, so the guy doesn't want to keep him for a 1st...but as a FA, he's now using a spot 3 rounds below next year's ADP. So likely a 5th or 6th rounder. No idea why he wouldn't just throw him on IR, but hey, thanks. Ha, very nice.
