MLB All Star Salary Cap Draft: CHAT

[Ritzarmy]

If his debut was in 2001 then not eligible.

 

[Nosferatu]

You were right, I see the context. Let me ask you this though....if someone says they hold it against someone for batting Gruffly Jr lead-off, and then gets bent when someone questions them hitting Larry Walker lead-off....hypocritical or no?

You know what I absolutely love, in the draft that you had Griffey leading off I voted for you in round 1 then voted for you in the semi-finals AGAINST ME! In the Championship game I said I needed more time to vote but enough people voted that the game was decided, so all of this and I never actually voted against you. How fucking awesome is that? lolzzz

 

[Bolts]

Yes

okay, thank you.

I will say every time I've targeted Walker it's usually been for the 2-hole (I would have taken him last night if I wasn't wasted lol) so not a huge leap to bat him leadoff in my view I think there are differences between the two players. A 30 point difference between OBP is significant, although you're right in that Coors is a huge factor. Griffey more of a power threat and Walker more of a steal threat. So not exactly apples to apples

Super, you have my apology, it's your team, hit them however you choose

Weird game with Nats vs Giants. Giants Span batting and Giants almost had SP Bumgarner pinch hit for him but needed a bunt not a power hitter. That's right a pitcher wasn't used cuz of his power hitting and the batter was used for his bunting. Span bunted and catcher through runner out at 2nd, Span to first. Then Giants used SP Jeff Samardzija to pinch run for Span. No this wasn't in extra innings but only in 5th.

Smardzija would have been a first round NFL wide receiver so I imagine he pinch runs often. Still interesting to see

Pick is in @wlk3 otc

I think Nats got a great deal here.

The Washington Nationals have acquired All-Star closer Mark Melancon in a trade Saturday with the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to multiple reports.

Left-handed reliever Felipe Rivero is headed to Pittsburgh as part of the deal, according to reports. The trade was first reported Saturday by Fox Sports.

Melancon, 31, is 1-1 with a 1.51 ERA and 30 saves this season. The right-hander likely will serve as the closer in Washington, which has struggled lately in late-inning situations.

Jonathan Papelbon was pulled in the ninth inning of Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants and took the loss in two other games over the past week. The Nationals have used reliever Shawn Kelley to close out their last two games.

Melancon is a very good pitcher. I have always liked him.

Melancon is a very good pitcher. I have always liked him.

And we didn't give up that much. However he is just a 2 month rental but a great rental I feel.

I did text Mebert

Damn, called Direct TV to get ride of some of the movies channels I never watch so I'm not paying $180 a month and I end up moving up to the ultimate premium package.

But now I will have Fox Sports North so I can watch my Minnesota Golden Gophers teams really suck this winter...

I have dish and called them yesterday and tried to reduce my bill $120 and I could get the lower package for $100 but not sure if it's worth it. I still get the Big 10 Network so I can see my Nittany Lions underachieve for another season.

Just be happy you haven't been a Minnesota Golden Gophers football fan your entire life.
