    Wow. Shit got real while I decided to go rent Moneyball.

    Pretty safe to say after watching it that all of your teams are utter shit and mine is best.

    Ok this might get closed before I get an answer but 100 million for Ryan Zimmerman? Really?

  • Options
    Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    He has a higher WAR over the last 6 seasons than Adrian Gonzalez, Jose Reyes, Mark Teixeira, and Adrian Beltre, and that's even with being injured.

    Source: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/the-cost-of-making-ryan-zimmerman-a-national-for-life/ Which also says his offensive numbers are comparable to Matt Kemp's (not skillset, just his production).

    And then there's this article that claims he's an elite defender and a good bat: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/comps-for-ryan-zimmermans-extension/

    I think its a great move for them.

    Looks like a reasonable deal to me.

    $100 million dollars

    That is a lot of money

    Huh, he's only 27. For some reason in my head he was a lot older. Nevermind, that actually is a pretty good deal.

    Hey @Jasconius we're doing trades right? And we can include future draft picks in those trades?

  • Options
    JasconiusJasconius sword criminal mad onlineRegistered User regular
    I've decided to disable draft picks trading for two reason

    #1) It makes the keeper system more difficult to track
    #2) I don't want people trading future picks and then abandoning their team and screwing someone else over

    I'm heading off to a meeting for the next couple hours. If Schide makes his I can make mine around 11am pst.

    I have no intention of abandoning my team, man.

    That is pretty lame. We didn't even get to vote on that. I mean, you obsess over keeper rules and then disable trading draft picks?

    (and I had just decided which future pick I could trade without missing that player(s) when I couldn't keep them).

    There Is No Draft Pick Trading

    It Was A Bad Idea That Was Brought Up One Time Before We Even Decided On A Slow Draft

    Nobody Remembered It Except You

    It Introduces Too Much Complexity In Conjunction With A Graduated Keeper Penalty

    The only reason I wouldn't want to do this is I drafted him in the other league already, but he's by far the highest ranked guy still left on my thing, so...

    BJ Upton

    The Wrong Upton

    If it kills me I am going to make a 300MB animated GIF of every looking strikeout BJ Upton has taken over the last five years

    Fortunately we didn't make Ks a negative category so it's moot.

    Upton_Called_Strikes.png

    Chart of strike 3 looking. I'm not sure but I *think* that's just April and May of 2011.

    The glut of 2 ball K's suggests that BJ Upton's approach at the plate is literally identical to my video game approach. If he thinks they're going to throw him a ball, he won't even move the bat. Then gets thrown out of the game by Joe West.
