Is W Ramos a better option than Pierzynski for 2012?

So I’m a few days let, but Geo Soto was a monster last year.

He hit .280 with an .890 OPS (and many leagues are moving from BA to OPS as it is) along with 17 homers and 100 runs+RBI in 100 games.

That’s a pretty monster season. He finished as a top 10 catcher (top 6 in my league that counts OPS instead of BA) which alone would mean that he didn’t have a horrible season.

The fact that he got all of those stats in the first four months and sat much of August and September, which means I could have had another catcher in there for those months means to me, that he had a monster year in 2010.

@chata: You can't keep letting people come back into the game, show will take too long. @Steve: HA! @Steve: Benoit and Coke does sound delicious. @chata: Rioting for what? @Awesomus Maximus: I can't believe the Yankees got eliminated.

Scherzer hurts my fantasy team in the regular season, and then hurts my real life team in the postseason. What did I ever do to him?

@chata: the way i figure it , a true baseball fan rioter would want to get his new wide-screen in time for the world series . football fans would probably wait to see if the tigers win the world series . me ? i could use a new set of tires .

@Grey: hey Grey .... are we rioting after this game , or still playing the waiting game ?

@Steve: i suppose all of these attacks were carried out in broad day-light . otherwise , their candles would blow out , running after the guy .

You couldn’t make this shit up:

The best part? The mastermind behind at least one of the attacks has the surname Mullet.

@royce!: Would have been a much better story if they'd been drinking on the days they were pitching.

a-rod or a-fraud ?

@Steve: It would be okay with me. A hell of a lot better than if they were drinking Benoit and Cokes.

By: Steve

Steve — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 02:51:04 +0000

@royce!: Quite so. Do you think that if they'd been drinking beer in the bullpen it would have been OK?

By: royce!

royce! — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 02:49:08 +0000

I take that back. If the Yankees started acting like they are using a monocle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Original_New_Yorker_cover.png) as their version of the “beast mode,” I will root for them for the rest of the postseason.

I’m really enjoying the lack of hand-jiving in the ALDS.

@Steve: You’d think DET would be more of the beer drinking crew, like BOS.

Benoit and Coke up in the bullpen (it says here). Sounds like a drink that should have an umbrella in it.

are we counting down yet ?

yankees have 9 outs left .

@Grey:

re : redemption island

should be able to return to the main group after fending off 3 challenges .
give the poor sap a fighting chance and the opportunity to make
an alliance .

otherwise , he just remains a pawn , at best , when he finally gets to
re-enter the game .

to make him stay out there and defend against 6 or 7 challengers , like they
made that jesus freak kid do , is just inherently unfair , imo .

@Steve: Better to store your helicopters. (I have no idea what that is supposed to mean)

@royce!: Yeah, not really a Speedos man myself. It's been board shorts for a loooooonnnnnng time now.

@Steve: I like that. Not too smart to smuggle a parrot in your pants, which is an apt commentary on the people who wear budgie smugglers (unless budgie stands for something else- apparently it also is a slang term for a helicopter, which would also be uncomfortable in one's pants).
