Logan Morrison. Welcome back from the DL. My team missed you.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Boo! Triple with 2 outs in the 6th. Has anyone gone longer than 5.2 after a no-no?

Johnny Vandermeer

Obviously. I should have been more specific. Who has come closer to Vander Meer?

Vander Meer is incorrect anyway.Cy Young holds the consecutive hitless innings streak at 25.33.

Vander Meer is not incorrect. He asked has anyone gone longer.

Did you hear Vander Meer's name on the radio today?

Thinking of dropping Jeter for Peralta.

C: Geovany Soto

1B: Miguel Cabrera

2B: Brandon Phillips

SS: Derek Jeter

3B: Jed Lowrie

UTL: Mark Teixeira, Justin Morneau

OF: Matt Holliday, Curtis Granderson, Bobby Abreu

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Bautista - homerun number nine. Is it too early to serve crow to his skeptics this year?

Absolutely too early. It's April.

#13. Let me know when it's no longer too early.

If nothing else, Jeter should score lots of runs and has name value. I'm a Jeter hater and not sure I'd do that.

1)What are the hitting categories in your league?and2)How do you stand in each category?Jeter has started to hit a little so he is probably better for Runs and SB but if you need power, Peralta is hitting very well right now

Are we really going to rehash this? If he turns out a stud again this year, and it looks like he's going to, that's terrific. You beat the odds with an early draft pick and got great returns. I'll still say you took the short end of the gamble, but that doesn't mean you can't be right. Kudos.

This is getting pretty pathetic. Do you ever admit that you're wrong?

I'll tell you what is pathetic: Bumping posts on May 14th looking for people to validate your draft choice. We're not even a 1/4 of the way through the season and we're collecting "I told you so"? That's both premature and petty.I'm pretty certain that I've said congrats on him working out thus far. I'm not sure what else I can offer. I'm certainly not contradicting that he's knocking the cover off the ball, and if he continues I'll be dead wrong in my assessment of him. I've laid out why I think, generally speaking, a guy with his profile is a poor high-round selection. Just because Jose Bautista has worked out thus far doesn't make that a flawed view in general. I'll go ahead and take a pass on the personal jab, but I can freely admit I'm wrong about things on a daily basis. Jose Bautista may be one of them, but my reasoning for not having him on my fantasy team remains sound in my eyes. If that's being contradictory to you, I really couldn't care less.

Looks like a shallow league, so I would play Peralta over Jeter - if that means I have to drop instead of reserve, so be it.....You should also get a better hitter than Morneau for your second UT slot

12 team league. I dropped Harang and picked up Aybar and moved Jeter to the bench.If I dumped Morneau the FA pickings are pretty slim: Huff, Peralta, Boesch, Helton, Brantley.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yeah that guy is unrosterable in fantasy baseball and in real baseball.

 

[Captain Hook]

REALLY? Have you looked at the stats for those guys and then at Morneau's?Sounds to me like you are a slave to the name of a hitter who USED to play first base for the Twins

There's a chance that he's coming around a bit. Batted .333 last week, had 4 2Bs.The guy's not done.

Of course I have. I am well aware of the drain he has been on my team. Especially since I've chosen to go pitcher heavy and not have any offensive bench spots (i.e. starting him). The only reason why I didn't drop him earlier is because I've been in first place.

Actually he hit .285 last week.

Probably looked at last 7 games...

Todd Helton is ww value.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Pujols at 3B tonight.

 

[rascal]

Trumbo dropped in my league...interesting.

 

[Billy Bats]

Talk about taking one for the team...

Vin Mazzaro's line in KC tonight:

2.1ip, 78 pitches, 11 hits, 14 earned runs, 3 bb, 2 k.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Trumbo dropped in my league...interesting.

I've picked him up twice and dropped him each time. We get penalized for strikeouts. In other leagues go nuts.

 

[pollardsvision]

I have too. This time, I'll probably keep him far longer than I should. I overspent to get Kendrys in a keeper league and it would make me even more angry to watch Trumbo go nuts on someone else's team while I watch Kendrys waste away in my DL spot. He is actually starting to take some walks to go along with those K's (5 of his 7 BBs are in the past 15 days with a .341 OBP). So there's that.

Pineda seems to be doing fine with it

Thoughts on Danny Duffy being called up by KC? Is he rosterable in 12 team leagues?

12 team mixed?probably not if you have to cut someone of value because there is a very good chance he will be sent back down after this start.....BUT okay if you can reserve him when he is sent to the minors without pinching a roster spot because he will certainly be back up later.Very good strikeout pitcher although he will need to use his curve and change more in the majors - they are good enough pitches but he doesn't really need them to dominate at AAA so he often just threw more fastballs

 

[the moops]

####### Matt Joyce. Hoy ####!

 

[Northern Voice]

Edwin Encarnacion should have 5 errors tonight (officially charged with 2 so far) and he's at first base, not even his usual gongshow at 3rd.

I'm forfeiting SBs, so the categories of concern are AVG, OPS, HR, R, RBI.
