    I agree. IMO Vargas has under-rated defense - i.e. people say he's terrible but I think he's about league average. Soft hands and good reflexes. But.... Mauer is in a different class altogether.

    Granite seemed very unperturbed by that high inside fastball. Maybe a little too cool about it, as close as that one came. Nice that the ball had eyes for him when he put it in play.

    I am waiting for someone at SS who is as dependable as Buxton is in CF*. Adrianza had a difficult chance on that play, but not impossible. Luckily, he got an opportunity to atone immediately, with a tailor made DP ball. * Or Mauer at 1B, I should hasten to add.

    That was a very difficult foul catch by Mauer.

    Rosario does well to sneak back into second base there.

    Nice scamper, as Dick termed it, by Adrianza to snag a liner.

    I can tell you, in all seriousness, that the moderators are most assuredly not. A few TD members have already been given a word to the wise.

    Very heads-up baserunning by Rosario (and/or basecoaching by Smith) on that double. Although, Altuve was pretty slow getting up after that dive - I won't take anything away from him on that, since it might have shaken him up for a little moment, but had he popped to his feet faster he would have given Eddie a little more to think (legitmately or not) about when rounding first.

    The United States House Committee on Oversight will need to not have a look into this.
  11. ashbury
    The moderators will be the judge of that.

    The New York Times has picked up your scoop, and backdated it with a year 2009 byline and inserted Carl's name instead. With prudent investment, Jim should have grown his inherited portion to approximately 14 trillion dollars in the intervening time, or not quite enough to pay off the US national debt. I'm going to stick my neck out and guess that the Cubs also did better in one half of that season than in the other. It's a long season.

    I checked again and, perhaps more importantly, you can outright a player (as I believe was the case for Melo) only once without his permission. The second time, in the example I tried, he has the right to choose free agency. That would put a real limit on a team's aspirations to move a player on and off the 40. Never mind.

    He cleared waivers, which I think are good for the rest of the season. He could be added to the 40-man anytime it's convenient, and then removed if they want to send him back down again. I think.

    Crowhops are hair-pullingly maddening but fixable. Arm strength can be more of a limiting factor but can often be improved. It's the elite quick-twitch reflexes and instant acceleration toward the ball that pretty much either is there or it isn't. If he's not getting to balls, that's a bad sign.

    This keeps coming up. He's out of options.
  20. ashbury
    Prepare to be surprised.

    I'm already embarrassed enough about the ridiculous amount of time I play this game*, so I would never compound the problem by entering an online league. * Currently in remission, and have been clean for approximately 5 weeks. One Day At A Time!

    Not too shaggy, i.e. exactly shaggy enough: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/608638.jpg

    I had a heart attack and died from each of Nik Turley's starts. Fortunately I got better.
