4.04 Edinson Volquez

Regression to the mean is the statistical phenomenon stating that the greater the deviation of a random variate from its mean, the greater the probability that the next measured variate will deviate less far. In other words, an extreme event is likely to be followed by a less extreme event.

Although this phenomenon appears to violate the definition of independent events, it simply reflects the fact that the probability density function P(x) of any random variable x, by definition, is non-negative over every interval and integrates to one over the interval (-infty,infty). Thus, as you move away from the mean, the proportion of the distribution that lies closer to the mean than you do increases continuously.
 
It should be a fun, minimal level of effort league. Prize will be winner take all with a proposed in cost of $12.95. The winner will also receive a piece of Jimmy Gobble memorabilia that doesn't cost too much to ship.
$12.95 Paypal GIFT to cpzeck at yahoo.

Lots of Jimmy Gobble commons are available on eBay. There were Gobble bobble heads made while he was in the minors. I have 8 months to find a cheap one.

3.12 - Stephen Drew, SS

4.01 - Aaron Hicks, CF

Write-ups after my meeting.
Stephen Drew - Somehow, this guy keeps getting contracts. In the video linked, he's getting blown away by a Kluber 94 mph fastball. With a $5MM contract ($7MM with incentives!), the Yankees will probably trot him out there most days. This despite a 162/237/299 line and 75 Ks in 275 ABs last year. Gobbler heaven!

Aaron Hicks - The Twins will once again give Hicks the opportunity to win the CF job. He has competition, and it may be a platoon, but if they decide to go all-in on Hicksy once again, we have gobbler gold. He's now had 538 PA with a 202/294/300 and 140 Ks! Oh My! (video with bonus TB brooms and **** Bremer sad-voice)

4.5 Tyler Flowers, C, White Sox

I know catcher is super deep in this format, but he's got 2 straight years as a top 10 hitter in this thing, and in 2013 he did it in only 256 AB.

Also since I'm a Tigers fan, getting a bunch of White Sox to root against is a homer move.

The positions listed in the Googlesheet are straight out of Fantrax.

 
4.10 - Mark Buehrle (SP)

Mark has logged over 200 innings in each season since 2001. In that time, he has developed a reputation for consistency, highlighted by leading the league in hits allowed four times and appearing the top 10 of hits allowed 11 times. His 3,258 hits allowed are the most for any active pitcher and rank 98th on the all-time list. But Mark does much more than just allow hits. He is also the active leader in losses (152), reaching double-digit losses 10 times in his career. His 5.3 K/9 rate proved to be one of the lowest in all of baseball last season, adding more value to his already impressive skill set. His selection to the 2014 American League All-Star roster and handsome contract should assure us of another 200+ innings from the south paw. He'll anchor our staff nicely.

 
Zack Cozart ... Slight risk of improvement here and they brought in Suarez, but that 500 games of .570 ops is too enticing to pass up.

 
Almost took Jhoulys with my last pick. Really not that bad of a pitcher but the combination of lost velocity and Coors Field could be :moneybag:

 
Still six teams untouched after 49 picks

Red Sox
Rays
Angels
Nationals
Brewers
Cardinals
Dodgers

I could be am wrong though

5.03 - Hector Noesi (SP)

Boasting a career 5.16 ERA and 1.4 HR/9 rate, Hector (pictured here wondering where it all went wrong) has all the makings of a solid Gobbler. He was able to convince the Mariners, Rangers and White Sox to allow him to pitch enough to log 172.1 innings last season, which is an impressive feat in itself. He's slated to begin the spring with a shot to hold down the White Sox's coveted No. 5 starter role, and even if he misses on it he should provide value as a long reliever and spot starter. Welcome aboard, Hector. We're really excited about your potential.
