Do you think Enrico has spent more time pouring over MiLB stats this year or MLB?
-
I measure myself against owners by total % of the BA Top 100. And also height. Except for you guys that are taller than me.
-
Enrico has like 89 of the BA top 100 and he's putting Addison Reed on the block. Share the wealth Bill, stop hoarding.

Doc Roy Halladay is available....when he comes back in great form, he can absolutely be a title decider.
-
If anyone needs high P/IP RP, Addison Reed is possibly moving so let me know
-
Pricey players did get dumped last year...quite a bit actually, but I don't think it happened until after the trade deadline. I think Hamilton and Heyward were just a few of the guys who were dumped...
-
maybe unlucky to have a 6 ERA, but he's a league average starter by all metrics with severely declining velocity and as Jed says, he's still generating swinging strikes but only because he's never in the zone
-
I don't think it's a velocity issue, I think all of his "out" pitches are pitches outside the zone, is the main problem.

His whole approach seems to be based on sliders that start at the knees and dive out of the strike zone. When hitters opt not to swing at those pitches, he seems to have no fallback approach.

I watched him a bit yesterday. Texas is certainly a unique breed of a lineup, but man, the guy has a real aversion to pounding the strike zone.

He certainlty doesn't look anything like his former Cy-winning self but he's also been extremely unlucky.
-
I feel like a lot of pricey players got flat-out cut last year, is that correct? I'm pretty sure I got Beltre via waiver claim.

Lincecum is done, when Krukow doesn't believe in a Giant anymore that's real trouble
-
Lincecum is expensive. You can have him.

I am surprised one of Hanley or Longoria haven't been dealt yet...

$356 in total salary. I'd love to get up over $400, but I don't even know how. Can the superstar bidding wars have ended already??

McCarthy is one of my favorite pitchers, but if continues to walk people his value takes a big hit. He has almost as many walks already as he had all last year.

Agreed, even a 500-point lead is not really a big deal at this point in the year.

Can we graph standings from last season? I don't think so.

I don't think I had the lead at this point last season.
-
Jed, you still have a long way to go to catch me in "cap penalty" players, too...
-
Regardless of the standings, etc., in reality it's still only June 10th. Big picture: Still very early. MoPain still in it, among others. Things can change in hurry. I wish I remembered Durham's lead at this point last year, but can't recall
-
I'm just waiting for Brandon McCarthy to be traded for the 6th time...
-
Injuries to Fister and Haren have really hurt my P/IP. Even with the back problem, Haren is still on pace for just under 1,000 points, pretty impressive.

Yeah my 5.2 is probably close to average for ottoneu teams, it just looks awful compared to your ridiculous P/IP.

This year, Gio (6.8), Sale (6.2), and Stras (6.4) are the only top guys. Makes me feel even better about my team average of 6 pts/IP. Unsustainable, but nice...
-
I get pissed every time my SP's average less than 6 pts/IP but just looking back last year I'm reminded that 6 pts/IP is really the peak. Of the top 25 guys, only Kershaw met that mark, at 6.06/IP.
-
You should trade Gio and his unsustainably low HR/FB%. To me. For hitting.

I've had the opposite problem...just now starting to move the needle on P/G from my offense. Big day yesterday helped. Pitching seems to be a bit more stable
-
My 5.4 PPG is pretty respectable, but I just cannot budge off that 5.2 P/IP. Good rotation, high-scoring relievers, I just don't get it. Maybe I'm assuming my SP are matchup-proof when they're not.

My boy Adam Dunn should gain OF eligibility this week. Yes!

I feel like the Reds....I can compete but only up to a point because of my stingy salary.

Can't afford to carry them. I'm in win now mode. I've given up too much to play the fence. If I don't win this season it will be a long way back. I feel like the Phillies
-
Yeah I was surprised the last time I saw your roster at your lack of minor league guys. Even fewer than me, and that's saying something.

there's tons of ML talent in each auction . . . top 10 prospects are never available
-
I have to think teams like Enrico, Crying, etc will be much more motivated to move prospects in the off season. Tough to find cheap MLB talent when half the league still with title hopes...
-
I pretty much have to win it all because I will have to blow it all up for 2013

Stop making him harder to catch, people!!!!!

I think Trey has acquired something like 75% of his current roster by way of in-season trades.

i agree that i probably could have gotten more for Downs if I shopped him, but I still like what I got for an aging reliever even if he was having a good year...I just didn't shop him enough
-
I picked up Frazier for his help at 3B. Figure Chipper ("when healthy") a slight upgrade for the short term. This is Chipper's last stand...
-
Despite a big day at the plate (finally), still can't shake Shoeless. Nice day on the mound for him, too...
-
It'd be one thing if these teams making these trades had bid on the players they are acquiring and lost - in both cases now the other team neglected to bid anything, then traded something for the player the didn't bid on.

Shocked that once again someone has traded a valuable piece to the Strikes to acquire someone they didn't even think was worth $1 less than a week ago. I don't get it.

Enrico Palazzo's trading block has been updated!

At this point I'm carrying like $360 in 2012 salary, so I'm willing to buy big-time offense regardless of price tag.

If you're thinking about Haren offers, I'm sort of passively shopping for a SS.

I can't activate Bumgarner fast enough. My pitching was already bad and now it's in all-out freefall.
