You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps: Your 2011 Fantasy Baseball thread!

i quite enjoyed yesterday's 1.200 slugging from elvis andrus

Having missed out on Howie Kendrick's 2-HR day, it comes down to young Brandon Belt to pick up the slack. Swing for the fences, young man!

i was feeling really good about today after miguel cabrera was 2/2 with 2 homers... then my OF & util went 0/15

some dude in my other league just collected 8 hrs today!

Classic second-guess, but...shouldn't Lind be taking the first pitch during the 9th yesterday, after Nathan's just walked two guys in a row? Anyway, it's a good feeling to care enough to even bother watching. That hasn't been true for a long time with me.

I KNOW! that's what i was saying. Nathin was obv having some control issues - way swing at the first thing you see?!

aside from that - E5's continued presence at third continues to baffle/enrage.

ooops - this should probably be on the J's thread.

Thermo does that other dude in your fantasy league own all the of players on the texas rangers?

lol - just Napoli.

Sorry--my Lind post above was meant for the Jays page. I probably saw Thermo's name and thought that's where I was.

Hah.

no longo and no holliday make higgy something something.

kinda needed latos and matusz, too.

fahk.

long season

it resolved itself now because leo nunez walked a guy but say i had two pitchers combine for 8 Ks and 0 BBs, what does it get calculated as?

oh, duh, sorry! i have this thread bookmarked so when i brought it up i didn't see the context. i thought you were bragging 2011 about the 3 points you gained tonight

Not exactly sure what you're asking, Jordan. Had your staff finished with 8 Ks and 0 BBs for the day, the number of Ks would merely factor into the ratio, while you'd have no additional walks to factor. If your staff had 50 Ks and 20 BBs going into today (for a K/BB of 2.5), your new ratio would be 2.9 (58/20).

oh yeah i guess that makes sense

I'M NOT REALLY A "MATH PERSON"

The K/BB stat isn't an average of each day's K/BB, but the season's Ks divided by the season's BBs.

yeah i got it

lol j0rdan

ALRIGHT YOU GUYS

you guys

how does the batting average work

OOOOOKAY

hahaha :)

hey guys - what did i miss?

i originally read your question as asking to calculate the k/bb ratio for your infield.

Nobody's going to roll the dice on lol Willie Bloomquist? (ranked #6 for the season according to yahoo)

Stephen Drew is surely coming back soon, right?

they are saying tomorrow. hate that stealth "not on the dl but not playing" shit.

also I didn't start Halladay today in my $ league. FUCK DAY GAMES.

i have drew in my two other leagues -- picked up yunel in one, now starting bloomquist -- starting infante in the other

drew did pinch hit the other day

wow...swish broke nishioka's leg today.

damn dude. and err thanks for the fantasy advice i guess. i had Tosh.0 Nishioka on two other money teams, that sucks for kaz matsui 2..

DROPPED

So, somehow I have 4 closers right now. I might be willing to deal one of them for...

1) a strong everyday catcher (in this scenario, I would throw in Michael Napoli, who is great when he plays - right now he's getting platooned yet again for no fucking reason, just like last year)

2) a strong outfielder (in this scenario, I would throw in one of my 6 outfielders to replace the outfielder that would hypothetically be dealt to me.

3) if anyone wants to take a look at my lineup and sees a deal that would make sense for both of us, let me know.

has Papelbon lost the closer job yet? how many saves is he at?

I believe he hasnt had the chance to blow any..

I was looking at polyphonics position players last night.. goddamn!

yeah, his keepers alone (Crawford, Cargo, Posey, Hamilton) are a solid core.

If it makes you feel better I lose Crawford and Hamilton after this year.

it does.
that and the knowledge i will have Heyward for 8.

your team is going to be pretty awesome in six years

William Bloompsquist for SS/3B backup (probably more value than Tejada since he's leading off, stealing the occasional base, anyway) now that Manny is gone.

just grab Casey Kotchman. if hes good enough for Tampa Bay to replace Manny, he is good enough for your fantasy team amirite.

My downward spiral begins: -29 points in the standings for me today, dead last in R and HR, pitching staff slipping from great to merely good. At least I was in second for a day earlier this week, it's looking like that'll be the highlight of my season.

Needed 3B/SS backup and my NSB is currently -1.

What the hell? Tied for second??? Think it's time for a SALARY DUMP.
