2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[HIM]

Y'all have no interest in changing the scoring?

I like the idea of less points for a Pither's win and 1pt per total base.

I hate the idea of 5 extra points for a grandslam. A batter can't control how many players are on base when he hits a HR

I also don't agree with not having negatives for offensive statistics. You should be punished for making outs.


Im good for a Friday draft. What time are we thinkingn? I'm on the west coast btw, so please specify the time zone

Let me know if this doesn't work for anyone. I'd prefer to have all managers present. Reminder: $25 buy-in.

Pablo Sandoval benched to start the season, Shaw in at 3B for Boston

And i thought Chone Figgins had a bad contract

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Was a Figgins any good in the first place?

Dude hit like 300 with a 400 obp and led the league in steals. How was he not any good?
Than the stupid coach Wakamatsu decided to move him to 2nd base which killed another player that had some good upside as well. Not to mention they couldnt find a spot for him in the batting order because ichiro refused to not be leadoff

It's worked with Pedro, Manny and Schilling and failed the other 900 times. Pathetic.

Pedro and Schilling were trades though ...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

The Pedro trade was contingent on him being made the highest paid pitcher in baseball. he told them initially he wouldn't sign there. Schill I'll admit didn't know was a trade.

Friday is a good night for me

Got my 24 game pack in the mail.

Got tickets to tomorrow, Saturday, and opening night Monday. Finally that time of year.

Pablo

Im not convinced Shaw is going to be any better. We'll see

Casey Fossum

DEVIL Rays legend

Casey Fossum for Schilling ...

Casey Fossum

I thought he was going to be legit as a kid too ...

 

[Retroballer]

Pablo

Me either. He never really impressed too much when I saw him in the minors. But he either works out and hits or it forces Pablo to step up. At worst Brock just takes that spot if they both slip up.

Jumping back on the Shane Greene bandwagon

 

[macbk]

Year 1 of a 5-year keeper

I think I had the 5th or 6th pick, wound up taking Kris Bryant.

C- Russell Martin, Realmuto
1B- Brandon Belt
2B- Odor
3B- Bryant
SS- Lindor
OF- Heyward, Joc Pederson, Parra
Util/Bench - Alex Gordon, Panik, Brett Lawrie

SP- Thor, Gerrit Cole, Raisel Iglesias, Stroman
P/RP- Fister, Betances, Cody Allen and my late steal/stash Zack Wheeler

Thoughts? My OF/bench could definitely use work. As can my P/RPs. After the draft I realized my SPs are really all #1s in their respective rotations expect Thor, so I may need to make a trade and get a solid #2/3 in return.

johnnyredstorm I know ya wanna give your input homie.
