Got I.S. late in a 10 team league after already drafting I.K. Good thing cause I.K. is on da shelf (newsflash).

@big o: Looks like you enter a player's name in the box, and it creates a link to the player's profile on Fangraphs. You can then use the link in whatever article you're writing about the player.

@Grey: Well, I’ve never been to Delaware, so I couldn’t say

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:27:47 +0000

@Steve: Hehe... That sounds wonderful. I'm off to visit family in Delaware. I'm guessing your vacation is nicer than Delaware. Wait, anything's nicer than Delaware.

@Steve: Nice! When do I get to vacay with the Lyons?

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:20:01 +0000

@Grey: Yeah – I’m off from today til Jan 11th, so that time will be spent unpacking, getting sorted out and just generally hanging out etc.

Then back to work for a week and then we’re off on our family holiday for 10 days. Same place as last year:

@Steve: Hehe... It's always about you anyway! You gonna do anything over your vacation besides move or is that going to take the bulk of the time?

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:11:35 +0000

@Grey: I do, and we can pick up on it in the forum thread in the new year. Just didn't want the comment to be ALL about me, so threw a little relevance in there.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:09:37 +0000

@Steve: Nice, good luck on the move! Stewart's a $5 to $10 player, so $5 is good but don't you have better keepers?

Last day of work for the 09 – and it’s also moving day.

That’s all I got.

Oh – and I have Stewart as a $5 keeper. I know you said I could get him back in the auction, but I’m thinking Al K or Hippo would grab him out of spite…

Too bad Nick Johnson is not a pull hitter...otherwise he could be a lovely later round flier at the Jetstream... @Vic Vinegar: If it's a long term keeper league, I'd want the Justin Upton/Tulo side for sure.

By: Tony

Tony — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:18:51 +0000

@Vic Vinegar: Upton could go 30/30 this year, i think the little bit more power and sb's grady might give you are brought back to even with Uptons better average. Tulo is 10X's better than carlos lee... fills your SS position with what i see as the 2nd to 3rd best SS in baseball....

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:10:31 +0000

@Vic Vinegar: I'd take the Upton side too.

By: Tony

Tony — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:09:26 +0000

@Vic Vinegar: do it great deal for you, cash in on lee, and upton is comparable if not better than grady.... wouldn't even hesitate

what do you guys think of this trade:

i get Justin Upton and Tulo

for

Grady Sizemore and Carlos Lee

it’s a longterm keeper league, so i’m tempted to unload Lee now while he’s still productive, and i’m hoping Upton and Tulo will combine to make up for Grady’s SBs. i hate to get rid of Grady, but i think you can make a case that Upton is already about even with him.

Found Bill James’ hitters and pitchers projections for 2010 at the link at the bottom. Looks as if the site gets around copywrite laws by providing the link to purchase the book (so I will to):

I was able to copy and past into a sortable spreadsheet. Here’s the link to the tables:

@Stephen: Assuming you won't have to draft him until around the 120th pick mark, there's not much downside.
