Good luck to whomever Whip is. . Someday maybe I'll remember that one.

I believe WHIP out your FIP is Kevin Jebens, from CBS boards? He is in Paul's 20 keeper dynasty if I'm right.

 

[TKOSpikes]

and great stuff tlance... hard to be upset with Kershaw blasting me, since he is my 1st round pick in my money league.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'm near 100% certain that Carl Crawford is not injured. The word was he would be out the minimal 15 days when he injured his ankle, and I truly believe after the Kemp to LF go ahead, he realized he wasn't coming back to a mostly everyday job that he kind of had when he left. He publicly denounced the way their OF was being run, and now I really think he's in shut down mode. Once a spot clears up, he'll miraculously heal.

 

[TKOSpikes]

So I traded for Sale this week in my money league... he comes in with 65 innings and 39 hits!! Tonight? 10 hits in 5 innings... yeah, kind of backwards! Ah baseball.

You are correct, and you can read his articles at fantasy assembly every Thursday.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Wow. Just wow. Figured I'd sneak in Rondon since my opponent is also punting saves and he gives up 5 earned! Goes nice with Whitley and Lackey. Mondays have not been good to me lately, but I must have spaced out today. Ovals was the one I picked to bench!

 

[TKOSpikes]

Ovals? Seriously? Eovaldi.

That auto correct is a dirty dirty whore

Holy Crap, Fuzzy...easy with the HRs, it's early. This does not bode well for my dysfunctional hitters. Hopefully, my dysfunctional pitchers can make up for it.

 

[Chef99]

I bench Napoli, he goes off.

I bench Ozuna, he goes off.

I trade Adams, he goes off.

I wonder what I have done to offend the Fantasy Baseball gods...

Maybe they don't like trading?

 

[tlance]

So Jim, I am thinking I should just forfeit the pitching cats since you have Kershaw going twice.

Would you want to let me in on these decisions before Monday night? Would like to know who I should be starting in other leagues. Apparently guys on your bench are must plays.

 

[TREFF]

Just to see what's out there, I'm putting Hamilton and Gordon on the block. Apparently no one wants Evereth or EYJr.
Be forewarned though. . I'd have to be blown away, I've turned down some impressive offers already.

I should take K's but every other category is still in play (the St.Louis game on Sunday worries me). Unlike hitting where I look at how my team matches up to yours............and it doesn't (but I should take stolen bases-oops, just jinxed myself).
Final score will be 5-5 give or take a half a point.

 

[Reverend Jim]

Brandon Phillips needs a home.
Not sure what I need or what I would package him with in a 2-1 deal, but if you're interested in Phillips let me know and we can work on those details afterwards.

Prospect League Review

There were some crazy shake-ups in the prospect league this week. 6 of the top 7 teams faced off against one another, and there were some lopsided results in all 3 of those games.

Standings:

1. JD: 66-49-5- Congrats to our new leader!
2. Milk: 63-49-8
3. Driaz: 61-48-11
4. Micro: 62-52-6
5. OBX: 59-51-10
6. Smitty: 61-54-5
7. Redseat: 57-54-9
8. Molsan: 48-56-16
9. Foot: 47-59-14
10. Brock: 50-63-7
11. Trudem: 47-64-9
12. AZ Sting: 47-69-4

Week 12 Recap-

JD 9, Redseat 1- Redseat inexplicably had 3 inactives in his lineup this week. JD took full advantage with a complete dismantling of Redseat's squad. JD rises all the way up to the top spot, while Redseat falls to 7th. This was an absolutely stunning result.

OBX 8, Smitty 2- OBX has a very dangerous squad and Smitty just found out the hard way. A pitching sweep and a HR binge from OBX led the way. OBX rises all the way to 5th place, 2.5 games ahead of Smitty and Smitty falls to 6th. He is still 2 games up on suddenly struggling Redseat, but Smitty is not nearly as comfortable as he was a couple weeks ago.

Micro 7.5, Milk 2.5- When Micro said that Sunny days were ahead, he wasn't kidding. Kershaw led the way to a pitching sweep as Micro surges to 4th place. Milk's usually dominant pitching staff really struggled this week as Keuchel and Darvish had rare off weeks. Milk's hitters have been on vacation since May and the result has been a significant drop in the standings.

Brock 6, Molsan 4- A great pitching week and loads of SBs carried Brock to a much needed victory. There is still time for either of these teams to make a run with a strong surge over the next couple weeks. Molsan sits in 8th place, 5.5 games behind Redseat and Brock is in 10th.

Driaz 5.5, Foot 4.5- Driaz got the win, but he really missed an opportunity for significant advancement with so many of the top seeds taking beatings. As is, he still sits in third place. Foot continues to hang around in 9th place.

AZ Sting 5.5, Trudem 4.5- A rare win for the inactive Sting. He got a strong power performance along with strong pitching. This loss really hurts Trudem's chances of getting back into the hunt.

Best of luck to all in week 13!

JD and I face this week, Luckily for me, he does not MATCH up well against me... Micro, I think will always beat me, but I will be surprised if JD beats me...

Y'know, it seems that Philabuster and I are both cursed...maybe you're onto something there. :rollseyes:

 

[BigDDude]

On one had, I would like to thank Ram for keeping Michael Wacha active this week in our matchup. On the other, it is such a blatent over-look, that I hope and wonder if he is o.k?
