I dunno if they'll have the money after springing for a one year, 10 million deal for... Ben Sheets. I bet Damon sucks it up and goes back to the Skankees for way less than what Boras wants. I mean, Melk-dud isn't there clogging up an outfield spot anymore (sigh) so I bet he could get good playing time. Plus Damon's value drops anywhere where he doesn't have that ridiculous right field porch to hit pop fly homers into.

Whoops, didn't know the Stankees had just signed Randy Winn to a one year, 2 million deal. Looks like Damon will be elsewhere for sure this year.

PECOTA projections are out:

Oakland winning the AL West?

Nationals ahead of the Mets.

Ganhyun · « **Reply #500 on:** January 28, 2010, 06:56:10 PM »

They have the Braves finishing 2nd in the East and as a WC team. Not too bad. Maybe the Braves can achieve that.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #501 on:** January 28, 2010, 07:26:28 PM »

Shit, I'd be content with 70 wins!

The Jays are projected to have the third worst record in baseball. Awesome.

I'd say the Nats should be good for 74ish wins this year. 80+ is pushing the bounds of reality, tho.

I do like where they have the Mets finishing.

PECOTA was fucked up. They already fixed up the standings a bit.

Hell yeah, the Rangers are gonna go somewhere this year with Nolan Ryan in and broke-ass Tom Hicks out. I hate that they had to get rid of Millwood, but I still think their pitching will be fairly solid (at least by Rangers standards).

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #509 on:** February 01, 2010, 05:48:59 PM »

M's signed Ryan Garko. Not sure what I think of that.

NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball's licensing wing is calling out a baseball card maker for allegedly stealing trademarks.

Major League Baseball Properties Inc. filed a trademark lawsuit seeking unspecified damages against The Upper Deck Co. Inc. on Monday in federal court in Manhattan.

The lawsuit said Upper Deck is continuing to sell baseball cards featuring professional baseball players even though the company is no longer licensed to show MLB trademarks. Major League Baseball Properties began this year to license only The Topps Co. Inc. in a bid to increase its revenues from the cards.

MLB Properties is indirectly owned by the 30 major league clubs and acts as their licensing agent.

I haven't collected baseball cards since the mid 90s, but that's still pretty "whoa"-inducing.

So apparently the Braves are trying to land Damon to a 1 year deal. Not sure I like him as a pickup or not if he signs.

If it means that Melkdud plays less, I like it a lot.

Triumph, fire up the EB league. Someone needs to invite all the gaffers we had last year...Cloudy, Alex Anderson, Karakand, Joe, evil solrac, R-GILL.

Lookin' at you Cajole!

Alex Anderson from GAF, apparently. And I don't mind it, even if I prefer roto.

I think we might be able to do two 12-team leagues, Triumph. Genghis expressed interest, too, even though he hasn't posted in here.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #534 on:** February 11, 2010, 04:39:12 PM »

STFU, Federwang. You don't have to.

Alright, both leagues are registered. Roto draft is Sunday March 14th at 4 pm Eastern time, H2H is Sunday March 21st at 4 pm.

***FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT FUCKING PM ME FOR THE LEAGUE INFO IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE DRAFT OR IF YOU'RE GONNA FUCKING FORGET ABOUT IT OR IF YOU'RE GONNA LOSE INTEREST 1/3 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE SEASON***

Fucking poofters. Also, please don't invite Kotex over at gaf- he never makes the drafts and ALWAYS forgets to set his fucking lineups.

pollo · « **Reply #535 on:** February 11, 2010, 04:39:20 PM »

I'm an H2H fan myself. I'll probably just do the H2H league. I'm gonna GM a league with friends for Roto.

I appreciate both forms for their differences, but if I could only choose one it would be H2H. Something fun about demolishing another person's squad that you just don't get with roto.

Demolishing the entire league is more satisfying.
