Damn, it's dusty in here. Haven't cracked the seal in a LONG time. However, today, I had my first reason to. Though it is really way too early, some sites are already starting their mock drafts for the upcoming season. And, the one I found today caused me to pause for a moment. Why? Because, for the first time in the last 3 years, there was someone not named Trout or Cabrera in the # 1 & 2 spots. And, I tend to agree, even though it looked wrong from the get go. Here is a link, in case someone is interested. fantasy.usatoday.com/2014/11/baseball-mock-draft-2015-andrew-mccutchen |

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Clayton Kershaw goes #1 in some actual drafts...particularly CBS because it utilizes weekly lineups and the scoring is weighted heavier toward pitching.
I took C-shaw 4th overall in a CBS league last year.

The waiting is the hardest part. The waiting is just about over.
Your 2015 present has finally arrived. Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is set to open today.
In addition to all the established features that you know and love, here are some game enhancements to sink your teeth into:
• New draft client with better research tools, including player notes and projected standings.
(Everyone loves being graded, even if they want to complain about it later.)
• League chat that allows you to message your league mates across all devices.
(Talk trash on your tablet. Sound smack on your smartphone. Build your fantasy brand 24-7)
• Condensed games on video allowing users to scout players for adds, drops and trades through 8-10 minute videos of every game from the previous day. Exclusive to Yahoo Fantasy Baseball through our partnership with MLB.com.
(Admit it, there’s a scout inside you, fighting to get out. Game tape is your friend. Bring a clipboard everywhere you go.)
As usual, commissioners will have a bunch of customizable options to choose from. Draft or auction? Small rosters or large rosters? Roto scoring or head to head? Standard categories or funky ones? Have fun building your perfect sandwich.
You're now free to dance among the comments. As for who to pick, we'll work on that over the next two months. Welcome back, gamers.

So, after a difficult weekend working and waiting through the Yahoo fantasy baseball rollout, things there have now calmed down and normalized. As such, I was able to re-up the 3 leagues that I commish there, and have for the last several years.
Mostly for the Fan Nation contingent, I have been running fantasy leagues made up of only members from the boards that I have posted on, and have been doing so for the past 10 years. However, due to the CBS message boards closing shop in 2013, and my burning of bridges at Hoopla last year, I now have folks from 3 boards playing. As most have migrated here as I did, most will be frequent posters here.
Which leads me to me yearly recruitment postings here. As always there were a few that did not keep up their end, and stay active all year. And, not surprisingly, they are also folks that did not make the jump here. I can't say as I blame them, as if they did, I would be shaming them.
I run 3 Yahoo leagues. All are standard 5 X 5 roto, with a live draft each year. These are free leagues, which will turn off a bunch of folks from the jump.
If you are still with me, the hook here is in playing with folks that post frequently on this board. As such, the league ends up with bragging rights at the end, with some smack talk in the middle. Getting back to shaming, that is how the leagues stay active, even being free leagues. To join and not to be active will net you the scorn of the rest of your league mates.
I am now taking names by using this thread and poster responses to form a waiting list for folks to possibly join. There are always spots, but, as always, I give my returning guys a good amount of time to re-join before I open up spots to others?
Are you interested? Let me know. These are good, fun, and fair leagues, with many like myself bringing a lot of years of experience to the table.
Can you hack it?

But, like you allude to before, by keeping this to board members, there is no stranger element to it. And, related, though there is no money on the line, bragging rights for leading and winning are nice, and makes for some interesting and heated posting exchanges. And, at the same time, it discourages quitting, as by doing so, and continuing to post, you run the risk of being abused about it. |

You can't start a money league and invite friends, you just get put in a random league. But they do pay out a lot more of the pot than CBS |

Something to keep you eye on, and to keep in mind come your draft day.
Jonathan Lucroy will miss 4-6 weeks with a mild strain of his right hamstring.
It's unclear when or how Lucroy suffered the injury. Even if he misses the maximum six weeks and the majority of spring training, he should be ready when the Brewers begin their season on April 6. However, the Brewers won't be able to give him work at first base during their exhibition schedule like they were originally hoping

I don't post as often as I'd like, but Zig can back me up, that I don't quit leagues, so if ya need a player for a league, I'd be willing to accept a team. |

I always end up needing a few people. As you are the first to show interest, let me get the league info out there, to make sure it is not a deal breaker to you, or to anyone else that may have interest. The leagues I run are on Yahoo, free, & standard 5 X 5 roto, with all of MLB in play. They are non keepers, with a live re-draft each year, always in mid to late March. Any new members would come from posters of this board only, as that my intent has always been to play against people I post with often here, and for bragging rights. I found that by doing it this way, it does cut down on the quitters, which you will sadly always have in free leagues for some reason. As these leagues have been going on for several years (longer than Yahoo has been counting), there will still be folks left over from my stops posting on CBS, then on Sports Hoopla. You should plan on getting an invite, as you are at the head of the line. And, I look forward to the new blood, and new competition. |

Post by bigddude on Feb 12, 2015 14:51:34 GMT -5
It’s that time of year when lists of the top MLB prospects are released. ESPN’s Keith Law posted his top 100 prospects a couple of weeks ago and Baseball Prospectus followed with its list of top 101 major league hopefuls last week. Most of these players are expected to be future stars, or at the very least solid contributors, but how many of them will be ready for the majors this coming season?
While young talent such as Byron Buxton, Corey Seager, Joey Gallo and Lucas Giolito may turn out to be better than some of the players listed below, it’s unlikely that most of the top MLB prospects will make an impact for their respective major league clubs in 2015. But several top prospects are both ready and in excellent position to succeed this coming season and could be a factor in playoff races. Here are 10 players that should play significant roles for their respective teams this year.
Kris Bryant, Chicago Cubs
Bryant, 23, is at or near the top of every 2015 prospects list after hitting .325 with a 1.098 OPS and 43 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A last season. Third base seems to be waiting for him at Wrigley Field, especially after the Cubs traded Luis Valbuena to the Astros.
Barring an outstanding spring training, however, the Cubs will likely keep Bryant in the minors at the beginning of the season to add an extra year of MLB service time, and thus delay his potential free agency by one year. Once that’s out of the way, it’s time for Bryant to see what he can do in the majors and if he’s ready to help the Cubs contend as so many expect.
Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians
The shortstop position is ready and waiting for Lindor in Cleveland. Jose Ramirez may fill in suitably to begin the season, but service time considerations aside, it’s difficult to imagine that the Tribe won’t be a better club in 2015 without its top prospect in the majors.
Lindor, 21, compiled a slash average of .276/.338/.389 with 11 home runs and 28 stolen bases between Double-A and Triple-A last season and is viewed as outstanding defensively. He might need a bit more time at Triple-A Columbus, and the Indians don’t have to rush him with Ramirez in the lineup. But with Cleveland looking like the favorites in the AL Central, Lindor has a chance to be a difference maker in that race.
Joc Pederson, Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers cleared a spot for Pederson by trading Matt Kemp to the Padres. Now the 22-year-old center fielder has the opportunity to display his talents in the majors. Last season, Pederson hit .303 with a 1.017 OPS, 33 home runs and 30 stolen bases at Triple-A Albuquerque. Frankly, he was deserving of a midseason call-up, but the Dodgers’ outfield logjam made that problematic.
Pederson wasn’t terribly impressive after being called up in September, batting .143 with a .494 OPS. But he only received 38 plate appearances as manager Don Mattingly didn’t seem terribly interested in giving a rookie crucial at-bats during a pennant race. Pederson’s numbers may have been boosted by playing in a hitter-friendly environment at Albuquerque, but he’s the only center fielder on the Dodgers roster and should make their lineup more athletic.
Jorge Soler, Chicago Cubs
Summoned to the majors at the end of August, Soler was effectively a September call-up for the Cubs last season after destroying Double-A and Triple-A pitching. Overall, he batted .340 with a 1.132 OPS, 23 doubles and 15 home runs. Soler, soon to turn 23, showed he could hit in the majors too, hitting .292 with a .903 OPS, eight doubles and five home runs in 97 plate appearances. He began his MLB career by getting 10 hits in his first 19 at-bats and three homers in his first five games.
Soler is penciled in as the Cubs’ starting right fielder, so will be able to make an impact right away. And if the Cubs are to meet the large expectations placed upon them for 2015, they’ll need middle-of-the-order production from Soler.
Carlos Rodon, Chicago White Sox
The No. 3 selection overall in last year’s MLB draft, Rodon was the first college player taken and viewed as nearly ready for the majors. The left-hander will likely begin the season in the minors as he needs to throw innings and build himself up for a starter’s workload. But there appears to be a spot in the White Sox rotation waiting22 for Rodon when he’s ready.
Rodon, 22, finished the season with Triple-A Charlotte after progressing through the rookie league and advanced Single-A levels. Overall, he compiled a 2.96 ERA with 38 strikeouts and 13 walks in 24.1 innings. With Charlotte, Rodon notched a 3.00 ERA with 18 strikeouts and eight walks in 12 innings. Those walk totals show that he still has work to do with locating his pitches and refining his mechanics. But the White Sox will likely need Rodon and his killer slider in their rotation to help beat out the Indians and Tigers in the AL Central.
Noah Syndergaard, New York Mets
For the Mets to have a chance at contention this season, their young pitching will have to fulfill expectations. Syndergaard, 22, could play a big role in that. The Mets appear to have all of their rotation spots filled right now. But with Matt Harvey returning from Tommy John surgery, a full season might be asking too much from him. As the season progresses, the luxury of being able to add a top prospect like Syndergaard for reinforcements could provide an edge in the NL wild-card race.
With a 4.60 ERA in Triple-A last season, Syndergaard might not appear ready. But Las Vegas is a notoriously hitter-friendly environment and a tough place for a pitching prospect to pay his dues. But 145 strikeouts and 43 walks in 133 innings show that he has the stuff to get hitters out. Pitching in Citi Field might actually be a relief for him.
Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Orioles
Bundy, 22, missed all of the 2013 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but worked his way back last year to make nine starts in the minors. While his numbers might not have looked terribly impressive, it was far more important for Bundy to face live hitting, regain his strength and velocity and get himself back into pitching shape after a year away.
It’s worth remembering that Bundy pitched so well in his first professional season that the Orioles called up to the majors for a brief stint at the end of September 2012. If he can regain the velocity and find the touch on his cutter that made him such an impressive prospect, Bundy could be on track to nabbing a spot in the Orioles’ rotation this season. Workload would obviously be a concern, but depending on how he’s managed, he could make a meaningful contribution.
Marco Gonzales, St. Louis Cardinals
Though the Cardinals would appear to have a full starting rotation going into the 2015 season, the front office had enough questions to reportedly show interest in signing James Shields or trading for Cole Hamels. Michael Wacha is returning from a shoulder injury, John Lackey wasn’t terribly impressive after being acquired from the Red Sox and Carlos Martinez was inconsistent with his location. If any of those three falter, that provides an opening for Gonzales.
The 22-year-old had issues with his command in his 10 MLB appearances last season, walking 21 batters in 34.2 innings. But the general belief among scouts is that Gonzales pitched too carefully on the edges of the strike zone, rather than trusting his pure stuff to get hitters out. A more aggressive approach toward the opposition would likely lead to more success against major league competition.
Andrew Heaney, Los Angeles Angels
With injuries to Garrett Richards and Tyler Skaggs, Heaney appears to have the opportunity to make an immediate impact in the Angels’ rotation. The Marlins didn’t seem impressed with Heaney, 23, after posting a 5.83 ERA in seven big league appearances last season and traded him to the Dodgers, who then flipped him to the Angels. But Anaheim may end up being the best place for the left-hander, as the Angels need him in their rotation.
Between Double-A and Triple-A last season, Heaney compiled a 3.28 ERA with 143 strikeouts and 36 walks in 137.1 innings. Control isn’t an issue for him, and that actually may have gotten him into trouble during his brief major league stint as he kept challenging hitters in the strike zone. Keeping his location down and trusting his off-speed stuff could lead to sustained success.
Aaron Sanchez, Toronto Blue Jays
Toronto didn’t add a starter to its rotation during the offseason, which gives Sanchez a chance to win a job during the spring. The right-hander, 22, was impressive in 24 appearances as a reliever last year, compiling a 1.09 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 33 innings. But the Blue Jays need him to be a starter, a role in which he succeeded in the minors.
Sanchez posted a 3.95 ERA with 88 strikeouts and 57 walks in 100.1 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last season. Those walk totals are a concern, but the Blue Jays are working on his arm slot and stride in an effort to improve his location and put his arm at lesser risk of injury. Toronto will need significant contributions from him and Marcus Stroman to beat out the competition in the AL East.

ARG!!!
Another guy who, had we known then what he is telling us now, we could have adjusted our fantasy expectations accordingly.
But, like all before him - "BUT NOOOOO".
I hate this. If only we could get 100% full and total disclosure on these things. It should would make compiling and keeping a good fantasy team together.

O.K
After waiting about as long as I could, I'm cracking the door on my invites for fantasy baseball for this year. At the moment, I have a spot drafting on 3/14 @ 8 a.m Pacific, and one on 3/15 @ 9 a.m Pacific. If your are interested, send me your e-mail via a private message, and I will both sign you up a.s.a.p, and respond via a return private message when I do. There are several other spots that can still be had as well, but I'm still willing to wait a few more days to allow former players to still return.
Hope to see a lot of new faces this year!

I love the "mixed leagues".
NO. Not male/female. Not black/white. Mixed. I commission two or three leagues a year. There is almost always turnover. Turnover is GOOD. Things can get stale. I will often simply NOT INVITE back owners that sit with their thumbs up their asses and wait until early to mid March, then open the league up to the public to bring in new blood if I need to fill my league.
I always join at least one new league where I am a total stranger. It is always interesting to observe what happens.

haven't checked yet but hopefully they finally have private $$$ leagues on Yahoo. It's not as much fun playing against random strangers and D, if you have a league just for posters on here I can give the winner some fake money lol Love the idea Zig, I saw bigd's posts about it. I will keep you posted about my leagues (I am in one with bigd...they kick my ass). Maybe some of my "peeps"might like to have some SC members in the game. Or, if you want, I could put a league together as commissioner with just SC members in it... |

If we get enough people on board, then maybe we can talk about awarding what I call "funny money" (what many Americans used to call Canadian money but now the jokes on we Americans) for select achievements. |

To anyone that has had issues in joining my leagues, I am trying o clear that up a.s.a.p. I am going to have to start checking on this place on the weekends from now on, as I can only do my fantasy stuff at home, as the fantasy league stuff is blocked for me at work. I do bring my laptop, but had problems with that and fantasy early this a.m, preventing me from addressing anything until now. Do bear with me, as I still have a lot of spots to fill, and not a lot of time to fill them. |

So, I just checked on the status of my leagues, and have come to a quick conclusion. It seems as if some folks that played last year, but remained on Hoopla, are not coming back again this year.
As such, and to anyone still active on Hoopla, if you could go to the fantasy baseball area there and post that Big D is looking for everyone I played fantasy with last year to hit me up about their interest for this year, I would be very greatful.

So, I just checked on the status of my leagues, and have come to a quick conclusion. It seems as if some folks that played last year, but remained on Hoopla, are not coming back again this year. As such, and to anyone still active on Hoopla, if you could go to the fantasy baseball area there and post that Big D is looking for everyone I played fantasy with last year to hit me up about their interest for this year, I would be very greatful. Ha! That would be a laugh! I posted this yesterday on Welcome Truth and Rumors, Message Board and TD Refugees. I'm sure you did not see it... _____________________ Got booted out of Hoopla today, but got in a parting shot... I don't think you are dumb Hammer, but you are fucking Paranoid. I don't get it. I was in fact on your website as tigertowner68. I never did anything to get banned. I have not been on the site for, oh, I am not sure, maybe a year or so. I have since got married as I said, then just yesterday thought it might be fun to go back to your website (that I never was thrown out of and pretty much had fun on) but as my alter ego, the SF fan. Then I get this rousing ovation from you. You call me Cocktard loser? In the middle of a public portion of your website? What kind of an admin does anything with such low class? You, ya asshole.

SportsHoopla.com Sports Forums - Error You have been banned for the following reason: Shitty troll and alt. Fuck off and die, dude. ________________________ "Speaking words of wisdom, Let it Be". Wow. Even worse treatment and send off as I received. My sin there was in getting people to use this site as well as that one. However, due to the kindness of Mr. Black Francis, He loaned me his i.d there to make the post I wanted to there today. I will have to check back in with him a.s.a.p to see if that lead to him being banned there as well. I really hope not. So, with this post from you today, it just further cements the fact that I have no use for Hammer or that site, and never will. Good bye to bad rubbish. |

Hammer is such a waste. The guy actually has a good knowledge of sports. But he uses the site as a bully pulpit. I knew it had to be jacked up about at the time that I couldn't find you on there any more. I just had no idea how jacked up it actually was. |
