And your grand kids will be telling you about how they own a piece of the real baseball player because in the future everyone owns a piece of a baseball player… Or not, simply speculation…

Grey: What are your initial projections for his line next year? I am thinking 125/.340/35/105/60. Call me crazy

It is always fun tuning in to the latest Grey posts to catch baseball talk… I don’t know how Trout didn’t get the Gold Glove though. Dude is amazing. Being a Dodgers fan, i am so stoked for a chance to get tickets when the Angels visit to see Trouty play. Heck, i will even make the trek down to Anaheim to see him play next season. He is so special that ill be telling my grandkids i owned Trout in fantasy his rookie year.

See Grey don’t remember that at all… And it seems like something Grey would remember…

He went from fantasy oblivion to deeper fantasy oblivion…

Yeah, I wouldn’t mess with Carp probably in a keeper… Vogelsong isn’t that interesting in general… He just had a solid year this year…

@Grey, Awesomus only remembers Suede because Suede referred to Suedeself in the third-person during Suede’s season, and it drove Awesomus bananas. Rickey’s the only guy who can get away with that.

Erv-San traded to the Royals, apparently…

@JT, Nah, that was to Grey. I love quoting Dwight Yoakam, though… especially as Doyle from Slingblade:

“Just put some chips in a bowl and run ice out to us when we look low.”

That’s unless you want to pull up a chair and watch Project Runway with Grey and me. Just not an antique:

“You know that, I can’t so much as drink a damn glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture.”

Thanks Grey, that’s good stuff. I shoulda stated its 4 batters/4 pitchers keepers.

I like it. Medlen, Bundy, Zimm and Wainwright.

I figure Zimm and Waino will be drafted @ +$20 next year.

What are your thoughts on Carpenter and Vogelsong, both over 37 next year.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 20:43:21 +0000

Now that you say Zimmermann is $14, I’d lean towards Beltran over Wainwright…

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 20:41:38 +0000

Medlen, Bundy, Zimmermann and Wainwright… I wouldn’t bother with Scutaro, but would consider Beltran over Waino, but would probably go Waino…

By: Jesse

Jesse — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 20:39:26 +0000

Zimmer is actually ($14)

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 20:38:26 +0000

It was wholly terrible… Actually forgot I watched it… Speaking of forgot… Who the hell is Suede?

Great stuff, Grey! I use Google Alerts to follow Bundy, and I’m glad your article popped up. First one yet on Bundy’s 2013 outlook. I agree, huge rook risk.

Let me run by you and get your thoughts on my team. I won the 2012 championship in my 10 team/keeper league, carrying Bundy along for the ride and getting a couple innings out of him at the end.

Which 4 pitchers would you keep? Our draft budget is $260 and keeper budget is $160.

CL – J. Johnson ($1)
SP – K. Medlen ($1)
SP – D. Bundy ($1)
SP – R. Vogelsong ($1)
SP – J. Zimmerman ($1)
SP – A. Wainwright ($14)
SP – C. Carpenter (STL) ($1)

Also have Hudson, Peavy, Floyd and Dempster @ a buck too.

I plan on keeping batters Y. Molina ($1), G. Stanton ($35), J. Votto ($37), and M. Holliday ($22). Would you keep Scutaro ($1) or Beltran ($3) over any and save the cash/make the dive at Votto for a little more next season?

@Awesomus: if your reply was for me, I’m lost! I used Al Gore’s Google machine to look up PRAS and found some freaky Slavic gobbledygook and one reference Project Runway All-Stars. To quote celebrated actor and erstwhile country singer Dwight Yoakam, I ain’t that lonely yet.

By: Awesomus Maximus

Awesomus Maximus — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:49:02 +0000

Have you watched PRAS yet? I’m not spoiling anything by saying it was godawful. Not sure I can get through another episode, let alone an entire season.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to have a maxi-episode (or mini-season) where the 10 people who were first sent home in each season compete? Maybe a 4-piece collection… a little redemption… a lot of heinous design… the prize is that you get to come back and compete in season 11.

I hate this time of year. My college football team is all but mathematically eliminated, half of my fantasy football team is dead and now I’m left to ponder dropping $100 on Baseball America subscription just to feed my addiction. MEDIC!!!

@JT, Ha, don’t lose your enthusiasm too prematurely here…

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:23:01 +0000

Oops, sorry, confused you with Justin above…. Yeah, I’d take Panda, Kipnis then Profar, in that order…

By: JT

Man. Sticky keyboard giving me trouble with vowels/spelling/generally cohesion in my sentences. Told you I was excited about the upcoming season.

By: JT

JT — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:05:49 +0000

Thanks Grey! I have 8th pick, so I’m sure J. Upton will be long gone (and another Upton-lover will likley take the consolation BJ). I think the Miggy/BJ for Pitchers was another poster…so if J.Upton is gone, Pandoval, Kipinis, Profar. Unless Andrus is moved or Kinsler breaks a nail/is moved to LF.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 03:03:46 +0000

Wow, your team is stacked… I’d try and get Justin Upton in the first round, then Sandoval then Kipnis then Profar, for drafting… I’d take Miggy and BJ for the pitchers, then I wouldn’t take Sandoval if UTIL was filled with Miggy…

Hahahaha. People who choose the Gold Gloves think Adam Jones was better than Mike Trout.
