I agree. Sounds good to me.

Re: The long anticipated Shohei Ohtani thread

I think either option 1 or option 4 is fine, though I personally voted for option 4 because this seems like a special case where a player potentially has enough value in both individual areas that it doesn't seem appropriate to completely exclude him from one position or the other for a given season ...

Re: Potential rule changes

My take on the proposed rule changes (and Kevin's comments associated with these changes):

1. I would consider myself neutral to mildly supportive of adding another DL slot, but I do agree that it should only be one slot and that it should ONLY be for 60-day DL guys so that you can have a bit more ...

Re: Transaction day change?

I'm going to vote Wednesday as well. Not only does that eliminate at least two partial weeks at the beginning and end of the season, it also helps in two other ways in my opinion:

1. Personally, I find that there are at least a few weekends every season, usually when I am on vacation and/or coming ...

Trading Players for Picks

Yes, yes, I know, this is typically the time of year where the previous year's ultimate loser (in this case, me) asks for trade offers for their first pick. Since I seem to always screw up the draft, I have taken to using my picks to trade for players in the past. Not this year. This year, I've ...

One Small Note on Dropped Players

There were a few players that I was a bit surprised to see on the dropped lists at the various positions. I don't want to be getting too much into the business of splitting hairs between Yuniesky Betancourt and Angel Berroa (just a random example), but there were a couple of relief pitchers that I ...

Need a few extra saves?

Would you like to add exotic Japanese closer Akinori Otsuka to YOUR bullpen?

With my annual save-category cellar dwelling well underway already this year, I have absolutely no use for Mr. Otsuka, but virtually all of the rest of you could surely use a boost in saves to separate yourself from the ...

Fishing for draft picks... pitchers anyone?

As many of you are already aware, I don't have a draft pick until the end of the second round because I let Marc take my first rounder in exchange for some damaged bullpen goods out of desperation. In any event, while I do not have an unquenchable craving to acquire the first pick in the draft as ...

Not quite possible for me

I believe that March 19th should be fine for me, but 2 pm ET (11 am PST) probably won't work for me. I play in a Sunday baseball league and we have a game virtually every Sunday morning (and yes I am on the Best Coast for those of you who didn't know or forgot), so the time will have to be a bit ...

Willing to trade corner infielders?

I am looking to acquire a corner infielder, as 2 out of the 3 on my team are currently have serious problems with lameness (hint: they both play for Toronto). Since I have a plethora of serviceable outfielders, I was hoping to trade an outfielder for a corner infielders. Please let me know if you ...

First Overall Pick Available

Ladies and Gents -

As you all know, the crappiness of my team this season has gained me the right to pick first in the draft for 2004. Since I lack the ability to make intelligent picks early in the draft (among other things) I am putting my first pick on the trading block. I am willing to include ...
