Sonny an ace? Last two season net K/9's in the mid 7's (sub 10 swgstrk, sub 30 o-swing), BB's between mid 2 and 3, and FIP in the mid-3's. I guess he could be the next Johnny Cueto that beats his FIP #'s every year, but I think his profile better resembles Garret Richards, Yordano Ventura, Collin McHugh, and Michael Wacha than an ace. Those guys have actually all had more swings-and-misses than Gray over the last two years.Quite common in spring training. Not concerned at all. Sonny is an Ace ready to have his best season yet IMO.

Exactly my line of thinking. But he is also still quite young and can improve. I don't think we have seen his very best just yet.He's Oakland's ace
Anaheim owes to Pujols:Capella said:Hamilton owed 30M next year by the Angels. That may be the most unbelievable thing ever.
We were collectively right (mostly) five years agoAnaheim owes to Pujols:
2016: 25 million
2017: 26
2018: 27
2019: 28
2020: 29

Pickles was pretty much spot on.

Wow I was thinking it would be a lot worse. I'm actually somewhat relieved.####!
Out 4-6 weeks.
Five now ... Freeman, Polanco, Pollock, Kluber and Britton on a 21-man roster (plus 2 DLs).You only have 4 on the DL?
I proposed adding another DL spot in my league, but was rejected because some did not want to make a midseason rule change. I think it's a good idea though. Eno Sarris posted something on Fangraphs the other day showing the numbers.Topic of discussion in one of my leagues: It seems teams are using the 10-day DL a lot more frequently than previously when it was 15 days. If your league has specific DL spots (we have two/team for a 16-teamer with 25-man rosters), should you consider adding another DL spot or just chock it up to a need to get more creative?
My Yahoo! team (different league than above) already has four regulars on the DL on a 21-man roster with only two DL spots, so I currently have two guys just burning spots on the bench. And that doesn't even include Freeman, assuming he ends up on the DL too.
I don't know the right answer. Was wondering what others think.
Only kind of league I've played in. Though I've only been doing magic beisbol for 5 years.Weekly, lineups lock Monday, see you again on Sunday leagues? Those have been a real treat too.
I don't think it's fair to make a mid-season rule change, unless somehow everyone is on board. Not fair to those owners who already have been forced to drop a DL player they otherwise might have been able to keep.I proposed adding another DL spot in my league, but was rejected because some did not want to make a midseason rule change.

Yeah, I think it could have gotten through if there was unanimous support for a change. But there wasn't.I don't think it's fair to make a mid-season rule change, unless somehow everyone is on board.
