I was just thinking about all the tools that have been created by Razzballers…and it would be awesome to have an app (blackberry/iphone) that had razzball updates…or something like that

@DrEasy: You're right. Well,Tomato Tomahto. Also, I am a nerd with not enough time on my hands - wanna trade?

@Stephen: You've used both spellings in your post, though. And I'm a nerd with too much time on his hands.

Felipe Lopez does not exist, at least according to the new Yahoo rankings. So don’t hold out for him…as if anyone was.

@grey- with yahoo rankings i could conceivably get mini donkey or reyes in the 3/4th rounds…. how enticing is that? would you take both, or maybe gamble with one ?

@Sos: my league counts QS’s, losses and BB…. those all along with our other categories make it hard to do. We had a guy do it last year, worked some weeks, others wow…. not so much…. but I will say that guy played me in the finals, so he made it to the championship, but in our league its not somethign i’ve seen work too often, and when he played me I think he wishes he just had ONE good SP now…

We are a wild 10×10 league tho… so if you’re adding a ton to pitching you probably have to add to hitting….

Brett said add a transactions limit, that would nip it real quick….

@Sos: @Sos: If you have a transactions limit and streaming is still a problem, why not just lower the transactions limit? If you think the limit is at a good place for people who don't stream, then i don't see why others shouldn't be allowed to use their transactions as they please.

@Keith: All the resources that I used wrote his name "Dominic"; my sources were Baseball America (2009), John Sickles Baseball Prospects Handbook 2010, and Baseball-reference.com. Consequently, I went with that spelling. I knew it was Domonic, but decided to follow suit of other writers and websites.

Nice writeup. One thing, it’s actually “Domonic” Brown. He didn’t correct it with the organization until last year. Guess he felt he earned the right to have his name spelled correctly by that point. I would agree!

The problem is that it appears that yahoo, which we use for better or worse, dosesnt carry a lot of these options. Originally, we planned a weekly innings pitched max, but that doesn’t appear to be an option. Guess we could manually manage starts but that seems like a pain…

By: Steve

@Sos: Maybe a cap on the number of starts each week?

By: Stephen

Stephen — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:31:21 +0000

@Sos: Add an innings cap, add a pitching category of walks (BB) which would negatively affect the pitching categories. Limit transactions more. I don't know for sure, but those are just a few options.

League setting question for anyone…12 team H2H 5×5 league with standard categories. We’ve had a problem with streaming for years now and trying to limit it without changing too much. Talked about adding a category. We’ve already limited transactions. Any thoughts are much appreciated…

@Probable Party Starter: But Sickels' knowledge and insider information is more than Grey's in regards to minor league players. But that's all he's got over Grey.

Sickels should have used “Inglorious-O”, which I believe is what Grey would have done and been at least 10% funnier. Yet another reason to come here instead.
