Well, sweeping the Indians sure helped.

That's pretty good.

I once had a guy who was desperate to acquire Hanley Ramirez (this was in 2010, coming off of Hanley's 30/50 year) and he kept offering me garbage for it despite being told that I wouldn't consider trading Hanley unless I got Ryan Braun + from him).

I think I ended up offering Grant Balfour for Ryan Braun straight up before he finally shut up (this was before Balfour was a closer - just a stud setup man at the time I was carrying to help with ratios and Ks).

Crazy. I've been getting trade offers like this all year. I'm one of two new guys in a league with a bunch of guys that have been together a few years. I think they're all testing me to see if they can fleece me because I haven't played before.

One guy kept offering me 4 for 2's. Like downgrading at two positions would be worth it because I got two other pieces of trash alongside it.

I think he had Lasix surgery between those seasons, right?

Oh not at all! I'm totally fascinated hearing stories of fantasy teams. It's utterly fascinating. Especially when it's someone else's team.

I'm always that guy in my league. I will low ball trade offers all year just to see what I can get them to counter offer.

He had Lasik and recovered from a broken hammate bone. That bothered him all of his first year in Wilmington, as I recall.

Is his wrist still broken?

About time you score some runs:)

Whatever Infantes issue is, he better fix it quickly because we dumped Getz for a reason. For us to pick up his doppelgänger AND pay 8M for the privilege is just infuriating. He frankly sucks balls.



Didn't we think getting rid of Getz and Frenchy would automatically boost the offense? Nope!


2013: 4.00 runs/game (11th) .694 OPS (11th) 89 OPS+
2014: 3.95 runs/game (12th) .667 ops (14th) 83 OPS+



Obv Country Fat-ass & Erica are the two biggest falls. But anyone thinkin we'd make up with Infante & Aoki was dead wrong.

Please chill with your sensationalism.

Dale Sveum effect, anyone? His main objective was for our guys to lay off pitches lower in the zone, while jumping on higher pitches.

We've scored 60 runs in 13 games with him as hitting coach, while only scoring 197 in 52 games.

4.6 vs 3.8 runs per game, respectively.

Seems like a simple tweak, but this incredibly small sample size might foreshadow a better offensive team moving forward.

We can only hope.

If the Royals win again, are the Rep threads back!?! LOL

Our team has an 83 OPS+, and it's my post which is "sensational"? Thanks for the laugh.
