I have zoomed into the top 10 thanks to Star of the Day Mike Pelfrey, but he needs to have a couple mediocre outings or even the Twins will release him by Fathers Day.
Arencibia is at an .071 BA and plunging, but he drove in two runs with ground balls yesterday, so yeah, Texas will probably platoon him all fucking year.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Friday, 18 April 2014 14:14 (twelve years ago)
Texas signed him despite his historically bad OBP, so I figured it's unlikely that they'll have that "AHA Arencibia sucks!" moment anytime soon.

He's only 72nd overall and fourth among third basemen. Andrelton Simmons is 27th (remember, it's essentially OPS factored by plate appearances, for non-pitchers).
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Friday, 19 September 2014 19:16 (eleven years ago)
I've never played it or looked into it, so I didn't know how scoring was figured. It does make sense that Andrelton would be up there — such a horrible year offensively.
― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Friday, 19 September 2014 19:27 (eleven years ago)
There's actually a pretty good 3-way race for the top spot heading into the last weekend. I hope the current leader is overtaken, cuz he's one of those lucky sods who picked Edwin Jackson.
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Friday, 26 September 2014 14:47 (eleven years ago)
40 percent of the first place team's points are from the two pitchers! Next time somebody argues that Kershaw can't be MVP because he doesn't play every day, we can send a link to that guy's team. IOW, pitchers are so valuable (or not valuable) that they can impact their team more than any one position player.

well now i'm sorry I saw the mets slap Jerome Williams around last night... At least your Cubs ace is in long relief this year.
now Ricky Nolasco has elbow soreness fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Hechavarria got 4 hits today wtf
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 April 2015 20:20 (eleven years ago)
Kendrick, Nolasco and Gosewisch have blest me with 76 points
My other seven players: -16
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 29 April 2015 17:44 (eleven years ago)
In the past week I've climbed from fifteen or so places from the bottom up to 489th place! Still in negative points though.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 29 April 2015 18:47 (eleven years ago)
I have zoomed into the top 50, bcz Loney, Hamilton and even Valbuena and Markakis are finding their rubber legs in the batter's box. Too bad Tuffy Gosewisch is about to lose his starting job; shoulda gone with Bethancourt, goddammit.
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 May 2015 16:26 (eleven years ago)
I'm 10th from the bottom! Nelson Cruz is killing my team.
Even the guy in last place was obviously making serious picks, choosing DJ LeMathieu and Mike Moustakas is easily defensible.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 13:51 (eleven years ago)
Only one other person picked Cruz, if I understand it correctly. At the start of 2014 no MLB teams wanted him! Last year easily could have been a fluke, and it was really only a couple of great months, in the second half he was terrible IIRC.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 13:55 (eleven years ago)
The 12 players who have Jeremy Guthrie are inordinately happy today.
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 26 May 2015 16:08 (eleven years ago)
btw RIP Tuffy Gosewisch (torn ACL)
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Monday, 8 June 2015 15:53 (eleven years ago)
Kyle Lohse is the first player to 100 points, nosing out Kyle Kendrick (97)!
Note to self: pick more Kyles.
(not Ricky Nolasco, looks out for the year)

refresh my memory. in reversyland hacking baseball; more points is better, right? the worse your guys are doing, the better = more points.

if i win, mookie will get the Tebow t shirt.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 June 2017 16:28 (eight years ago)
I swooned mightily and finished 27th, presuming they don't let the hacker who put James Shields at every position win...
My worst picks were Yuli Gurriel, Matt Joyce, and surprisingly Jose Reyes, whose horrendous first 2 weeks lured me into picking him.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 2 October 2017 17:38 (eight years ago)

A shit ton of players earned 20+ points last night, but not me. So I checked the box scores and learned that Texas is still mysteriously letting Matt Moore pitch, and he gave up 6 ER in 1.2 IP.

he's just at the low end of mediocre? True Avg has slipped to .241, which is weak but not awful.

― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 28 August 2018 17:14 (seven years ago)
It's good for the contest... but I have no real chance of winning, bcz most of the leaders have some of the key players I do (eg, Alcides Escobar, Tim Beckham).
What pisses me off is they always close the rosters 2 weeks into the season, and some smartass always picks his roster as the ten players leading at their positions through 10-12 games. The guy who did that this year is still running 2nd! Chris Davis sucked through mid-April, and guess what?
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 28 August 2018 17:49 (seven years ago)
it's back, and the strategy is interesting this season bcz
1) some guys like HM perennial Alcides Escobar are finally gone
2) are the Orioles really gonna let Chris Davis repeat last year?
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 April 2019 14:23 (seven years ago)
I finished 5th out of 125 players, best showing ever. If I'd just had the brains to pick Jarrod Dyson in RF instead of Kole motherfuckin' Calhoun, I'd have won going away.

One of my fantasy teams that autodrafted an incredible amount of busts probably would have done pretty well in HM:
Bellinger, Rendon, Flaherty, Mondesi, Torres, Laureano, Kela, Yates, Alfaro, Villar, Carlos Santana, JD Davis, etc.
