Decided to make a hitter last week. I made a catcher to see how much fun it would be. It is NOT. I have SS picked as the backup position, and got to enjoy playing 80% of my games there the first month of the season. Now, they put me at catcher every game, and it sucks. I just simulate any game that shows me as catching. I don't want to play for 30 minutes a game, and not even rack up points for doing it. I should get points for strike outs too, or some sort of points. It's just not worth it. I have been put at catcher for like 3 weeks straight, even after asking for a position change. This sucks because I feel like all I am doing is simming my guys career at this point.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) MLB Network projected Beckham's #'s this season in their fantasy special: .287 23 HR 86 RBI I'd take that.... Oh, hell yes.

Yes, I am so pumped. This is great news.

Danks stole home huh? That's cool.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Jones in CF again. Should we look into this? Is it just me or will we see Jones in CF, Rios in RF, and Pierre in LF with Q at DH a lot this summer? I hope so.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) I have yet to see anyone say that Morel is ready for the bigs yet. "at some point" was in my statement, not right now. He is going to start the year at AA, and I would be willing to bet he is the next guy in line at 3B if he fails, unless they decide to have Nix or Vizquel be the starting 3B.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 12:43 PM) Morel's upside isn't all that high, in fact I don't really think it's much higher than what Teahen is already doing right now. Maybe Morel can steal a few more bases and play 3B a little better, but when you factor in the learning curve? Hell no. Morel would be giving away AB like there's no tomorrow. At least Teahen is a vet who knows what he's doing. Morel plays a LOT better Defense. And as far as Teahen knowing what he is doing, so far this spring, I would say the opposite is true. You are right, maybe Morel wouldn't do much better offensively, but his defense and fact that he won't be making $3M a year makes me hope that Teahen will be eventually usurped.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) If this was talk radio, you would have just gotten hung up on. It was mostly tongue-and-cheek. But not totally because I really do want to see Morel come up at some point if Teahen continues to suck.

Just starting watching Breaking Bad. 1 episode down, like 25 more to go. I got a lot of online watching to do.....

Trade/Release Teahen. Sign Crede. When Crede is injured, bring up Morel. Problem solved.

I had only missed 4 in the whole first round. I was dominating, and obviously in 1st place in my league. Then my 2 championship teams (Nova and Kansas) lost. I am officially done watching March Madness.

You should be a GM.

My bracket took a HUGE fall today with 'Nova and Kansas. The only positive thing is that I have the East region 100% correct. That's pretty good IMO.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) It is crazy that they are looking at Clayton as their #3 or #4 pitcher. Yeah, I think Hawk said Young, Poreda, Richard, Latos, and the first reliever that came in today. 2 ex-Sox pitchers anchoring the #2 and #3 spots for them. EDIT: Nevermind, it was Correia in the #2 spot, not Richard. However, Jon Garland IS listed as their #4 guy on their depth chart. So that's still 2 ex-Sox players in their rotation.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) Foul balls count? Yes. It's a baseball.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 04:35 PM) I'm worried as much about Teahan as I am about thinking Brian Anderson is gonna have a monster year. S-p-r-i-n-g T-r-a-i-n-i-n-g If you are going to spell out Spring Training, then I am going to spell out Mark's last name.... T-E-A-H-E-N

Brent.Morel.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 04:39 PM) Has Flowers hit one ball hard this spring? Yes. In his AB 10 minutes ago.

Well, Teahen should have 3 errors this inning. Messed up 2 plays down the line, and then lollipoped a feed a Buehrle who would have had the runner easily.

Kenny again mentions how it's great to actually talk baseball, and he has not talked about baseball in a week and a half because all the questions he get are for other things.

Andruw going oppo! Awesome to see, especially after Kenny just said how he loves that Andruw is taking it the opposite way.

I like AJ with a beard. Now he just needs to keep his hair brown.

0-2 with RISP. I predict we go 2-11 with RISP today.

I am sitting back, relaxing, and strapping it down.
