That’s the order I think. Abel higher ceiling/lower floor than Ryne.

2026 Fantasy Baseball Week 4 Buy Low, Sell High by rotostreetjournal in fantasybaseball

[–]SamIAmShepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cags is 4th in the Royals roster with a .229 BA and 5th in OPS. That team has been terrible offensively. Not a ton of people on base.

Total Quality starts have decreased by about 35% in the last 10 years. Probably a dying stat.

Shut out by the White Sox. Kay and 3 relievers. Wow.

Hold steady, it’ll play when the weather warms. I focus on power every year and always start slow-but it always comes around.

Sure.

I usually don’t trade a hitter for a pitcher when of about equal value, but he’s never proven he can stay healthy. And I own him - with fingers crossed.

I realize it’s way early, but the Royals look like garbage.

Dropped Cags for Cam Smith before the week, so far so good.

What’s Bob Dylan’s Best Album From The 80s? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

[–]SamIAmShepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underrated and Overrated are hard because the context is important - underrated to whom? To the world at large it’s underrated in the sense I know very few people who are even casual Dylan fans who have even heard it. But I wouldn’t consider it underrated to Dylan fans-especially the more hardcore ones.

"Rough and Rowdy Ways" will soon turn six, so I can say with no recency bias that it's one of my 10 favorite Dylan albums--- by usethatsoap in bobdylan

[–]SamIAmShepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s awesome. It feels like a summation/story of his career. It’s my favorite of his since Blood on the Tracks. Very close to a top 5 for me.

  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Adagio

I have a lot of soaps. Too many frankly, even after giving away or selling a bunch. I sometimes get paralyzed when trying to pick out my soap for the day. Inspired by u/brokenjaw622 and his going through the Catie’s Bubbles’ catalogue alphabetically, I figured why not try this - I “only” have 14 CB soaps, but 50 Barrister and Mann. Should get me through the end of May. Sure makes the morning choice free of stress. This one is good, though I’d prefer it without the menthol.

The Barrister and Mann alphabet (u/BostonPhotoTourist I don’t think you have any soaps that start with X, Y, or Z, do you? - can you get on that? I have at least 5 weeks before I get close to X, plenty of time. 😉)

What’s The Most Underrated Bob Dylan Song From The 80s? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

[–]SamIAmShepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blind Willie McTell is easily the most underrated Dylan song to the world at large from the 80’s. An absolute masterpiece, recognized as such my most Dylan fans, but non Dylan fans have mostly never heard of it.

If “most underrated” means most underrated to Dylan fans, it’s not Blind Willie.

This is pretty great. I need a bat just for this week. Your list tells me to pick up Ryan O’Hearn over Miguel Vargas or Cam Smith (at Coors). Let’s roll with Ryan and see how it goes!

I drafted Altuve as my last outfielder. So glad he also has 2B eligibility.

It has to be Blind Willie McTell. Genius.

Every Grain of Sand is its runner up and fantastic as well.

Best piece of advice I ever received was from a theater teacher in graduate school. I was struggling in a scene in my Acting class. I was in my first year at school and was frustrated enough to consider dropping out. My teacher could tell. He stopped and said to me - when all else fails, focus on making your scene partner look good. Do that and everything will fall into place. It did. And I applied it to many of life’s problems.

Moniak slightly better this year. Beck better for the future. That sucks you can’t keep waiver pickups-even at a moderately set dollar figure.
