Hahahaha – Grey thanks for reminding me why I came in 5th this year…I had both Kinsler and Utley…what a mess.

Cheers,

I accept this H2H trophy on behalf of all the men and women in the Armed Forces, and Mike Aviles.

LOLLLL Mike Aviles easily won my two week H2H championship round for me and probably 2/3 of the other leagues going on Yahoo. good thing i stashed him weeks prior to Hanley going down.

if i see him at a game i’m going to scream H2H MVP at him

@Grey: Couldn't let this post pass without a reference to Figgy (that prick). Our hate for him is perfect. You hate him for what he didn't do and I hate him for what he did.

@Steve: Yeah, not the greatest year for hitting. @sean: I'm not a fan of punting anything.

@Grey: there was a strategy rampant in a lot of my high value leagues where contrarian managers punted power. I think punting any categories is awfully risky, especially categories that co-dependent on each other (as opposed to a niche category like SV), but they faired pretty well overall. Do you think it’s a viable albeit risky strategy going forward based upon the light power numbers this season, or was this a strategy that only worked because of how out of whack the power numbers were this year?

@Grey: I'm guessing you're pretty underwhelmed by all the hitting positions this year.

@Steve: I hear ya... Was a tough year for 2nd basemen with 4 of top 5 dealing with injuries.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 23:40:19 +0000

@Grey: Man, if these are the top 20, there's a lot of 2Bs round the league that need to take a good, hard look at themselves.

If anyone is interested in participating, I’m going to start to compile the statistics needed to “win” in public cash rotisserie leagues. I’d like to be able to classify by service, number of teams, and daily or weekly transactions. Please contact me at ogma107@yahoo.com if you’d like to share your league data and receive the results.

@Steve: zobrist was pretty hyped , going into last season (by some) .

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 20:12:07 +0000

@big o: Only because the last guy to own my team took Zobrist two picks earlier! No way I let that happen. No way.

@Critter Nagurski: Yeah, those help, but they also come out very late (end of March this year, I believe?)

I hate how Kinsler is on fire for the post-season. I was giddy about the idea of all my league mates writing him off next season and getting a delicious “buy low”… mais non.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 17:22:13 +0000

@Andrew: Definitely agree with that. Was nice when he was a 4th rounder, not next year. @Critter Nagurski: Yeah, you gotta go with the stud. @rob: Sure, for next year. @1st Season Manager: No problem, too bad the team petered out.

Hey, Grey. I want to thank you for your help this year. Got 2nd out of 14 teams. Too bad my team went cold during the final week.

What about Aaron Hill? 26 HR’s, terribly low LD% and BABIP. A small step up in performance mixed with some luck could put him at least into the 80/28/85/.250 territory.

re: AB projections: http://www.tangotiger.net/survey/

might work?

i think i have to keep a $30 utley again this year over $3 adam jones, $1 colby lewis and $4 rajai, right?

(6×6 with ops and k:bb with ~25% inflation. qs in place of w and nsb in place of sb)

too much of a philly fan to have clear judgment on the matter!

Cano projected to go late first round next spring. It seems like just because he’s the top 2B, he’s risen to the first round. I don’t think he’s deserving of a top ten pick yet. I’d still prefer to go with a safe 1B like Teixeira over Cano, position scarcity be damned.
