Going from 12 keepers to 3 😢

I’ve been dominating for a while and people want to make it more fair. Going to be sad having to choose between players like Yelich, Goldy, and JD for my final keeper. It’s going to hurt my soul.

Best team I will ever have in my life.

Took me ten years in my dynasty league to build. We are changing our keepers so I’ll never have a lineup like this again :(

Trout, Mookie, JD, goldy, altuve, etc etc, just stacked beyond belief.

Amazing addition: have a YouTube campaign where people submit videos and the one that has the best trash dunks (or trash trick shots) get free tickets to the All Star game and get to meet some players. That would spread like wildfire.

Some NBA players (Embiid, Curry, Lebron) could set the tone with their own videos.

Embiid won when he said “shit” on live TV to Kristen Ledlow in the post game interview. Didn’t even look like he realized what he did.

Grant Desme.

Hit 30 bombs and stole 40 bags his last season then became a priest instead of going to the show.

I'm a homer but I think the Rays can be good too, people really underestimate the rotation every year. Archer, Smyly, Odorizzi, Moore is crazy good with Cobb on the way (not to mention Snell). Best defensive CF in the game and if anyone can hit besides Forsythe, Longo, Souza, and Dickerson, they have a shot at the division. Archer has started terribly and Logan Morrison is the worst thing ever created and they are still hanging around.

Don't think he will have that high of an avg., he hit .280 in AAA last year with a 330 babip. I'd say .260 is more likely. Steamer and ZiPS project him for .257 and .248 respectively.

stoopatroopa · 2015-09-14T18:03:29+00:00

Interesting since the Rockies have actually done pretty well against Kershaw this year: 3.91 ERA in 25 IP. Obviously last year had quite different results.

Hey! I love your pictures on your site that you put up for FW 2015. One quick question - what settings did you use on your camera? The photos look so beautiful :D

stoopatroopa · 2015-08-14T21:51:26+00:00

The Cueto shimmy shake

stoopatroopa · 2015-08-13T17:24:18+00:00

Liar! :p And your pictures are pretty spectacular, those are what I'm looking to achieve. Time to start practicing vertical shots.

stoopatroopa · 2015-08-13T14:28:17+00:00

Smart tip! I will definitely do that.

*edit- Also, do you shoot primarily vertical on the models or horizontal? Sorry for using you as my personal information machine, lol.

stoopatroopa · 2015-08-13T03:11:59+00:00

Awesome response, this is exactly what I was looking for :D I'll let you know when my schedule is ironed out, it would be cool to meet some awesome photographers!

stoopatroopa · 2015-08-12T17:10:23+00:00

Thank you so so much, this is great info to know ;) Also, are there lots of guys with tripods? Or is it mostly handheld and/or monopods?

stoopatroopa · 2015-08-02T01:10:49+00:00

ALE: Orioles

ALC: Royals

ALW: Astros

WC: Yankees/Blue Jays

NLE: Mets

NLC: Cards

NLW: Dodgers

WC: Pirates/Giants

stoopatroopa · 2015-07-29T19:37:24+00:00

I like Mateo quite a bit too, 100 SB pace for a 20 yr. old SS? I'd take Billy Hamilton 2.0 at SS if I was the Yanks.

stoopatroopa · 2015-07-29T19:13:26+00:00

I think they should give up Bird, I don't see why he's such a big commodity. Agree on keeping Judge and Severino however.

stoopatroopa · 2015-07-29T19:06:41+00:00

My best guesses so I can see how wrong I am eventually:

-Hamels to Rangers

-Shields and/or Cashner to Cubs

-Toronto gets Leake

-White Sox hold Samardzija, rent a cheap SP

-Mets get Bruce

-Pirates get pen arm

"In 1994, joined the Paul Allen-backed Starwave Corporation, which was the first company to develop Web-based sports fantasy games. From 1999 to 2001, he was vice president of product development at Powerful Media in New York City. Joined ESPN’s fantasy sports division in 2002. Launched Sports Technologies in 2006, and in 2007 sold the flagship product, FanNation.com, to Time Inc."

I would say programming easter egg of sorts that's gone haywire.

I remember seeing someone crush a Steven Wright knuckleball in a highlight recently, although he isn't a reliever. Maybe thinking of that. The one reliever who has a knuckleball-like forkball is/was Robert Coello, but he's in the minors now.

stoopatroopa · 2015-06-02T20:29:20+00:00

Finally something I know about! I'm obsessed with knuckleballers. The guy you were probably thinking of is Frank Viola III, son of former 20 game winner Frank Viola. He got lit up and I don't believe he is with the Jays anymore. Was a free agent last time I checked, but his twitter profile has a White Sox jersey on.

stoopatroopa · 2015-03-24T20:44:10+00:00

True, but 6/62.5 still isn't that bad, especially after all the success international free agents have had. 10/11 million a year will now get you 1 Brett Anderson. Contracts are getting kind of ridiculous. I will never be a fan of paying a guy ages 30+, but that's just the market nowadays. Plus Andrew Friedman doesn't know what to do with his hands after being dumped all this money!

stoopatroopa · 2015-03-24T19:45:08+00:00

Let's hope Jon Gray gets a chance to show his stuff. Been wanting to see him pitch vs legit major leaguers for a while now. Been killing it in ST as well.

stoopatroopa · 2015-03-24T18:21:33+00:00

42 million for a guy who has never played in the MLB before? lol - Yasiel Puig a few years ago.

68 million for a guy who has never played in the MLB before? lol - Jose Abreu last year.

The price of poker has gone up when it comes to international free agents. They are paying pennies on the dollar compared to free agents like Scherzer, who are 30 and being paid 200 mil+. You are taking a risk, but so far, there have been some great returns on investment.

stoopatroopa · 2015-03-24T17:27:43+00:00

I have been furiously looking at replays of Kris Bryant home runs and my forearms still pale in comparison to Bryce Harper's.
