He's so dreamy.
The injuries are really starting pile up again. Drives us fantasy geeks crazy. It's a real bitch to lose a top pick to injuries.
Plus when you're also counting on the young guys with all the potential hype to produce but they're playing like complete crap, it's real test of patience.

I wonder what the fallout would be if what happened in my mlb the show game happened in real life.
My player was rookie of the year, and won all of the post season MVPs....
my team then was on willing to sign me to a major league contract, and I only managed to play my way to a bench player where I have been getting just 1 at bat per game late in the game :/
yeah it's a weird year for those, even my team which usually isn't hit to ahrd with injuries has them piling up @_@

Pitching in fantasy has been decimated.

Sale, Cain, Fernandez, Profar, and now Votto, my team is toast.
Not my pitching, and I have Latos and Walker on my bench waiting to come back from the DL.
Feels good man.

Trevor Bauer come on down...
Ehhhhhhhhhh I wouldn't count on Taijuan breh
Whew. A big relief to one of my other fantasy teams. I've had Braun, Anibal, Mesoraco and Cobb all miss a lot of time with injuries. The good news is that most of them will be back by this weekend and everybody back by the end of the month.

I'm not. I'm currently the league leader in era and in the top 3 or 4 in K's. He would be nice insurance for my team.

Has anything that's happened in the last few years given you reason to hope that the Jays wouldn't be hit hard by injuries and/or that the "prospects" would actually produce? Until they get off the concrete at Rogers Centre, everyone's going to be constantly injured.

Can't wait for 2019 when the Cubs might actually start somewhat attempting to win. Why couldn't they just let Mark Cuban buy the team? Tom Ricketts, boo!

Yeah I don't really like the Ricketts too tbh. But we are rebuilding, I think we can be competitive in the next few years though with some really awesome specs coming up. I'd rather build this team up with prospects then have to go shopping in free agency.

Three hit shutout. The bats had better wake up tomorrow.
Damn I wish I would have said something. He was going to speak at a conference so I didn't want to bother him. I did say FUCKING BILLY BEANE though.
Edit: okay I've snuck into the lecture hall. Everyone in suits but billy beane is just talking about baseball. This is pretty awesome.

It doesn't have to be an either/or proposition though. One of the things that Theo Epstein stressed in his first press conference after being hired by the Cubs was the concept of dual fronts whereby you build the farm system while also improving the big league club. Ultimately I think Ricketts put himself too far in debt when he bought the team and he was counting on the stadium renovations to get pushed through quickly to generate extra revenue and obviously that has not happened. I think there are also plans to eventually make some big bucks off a new TV deal but from what I understand that can't happen until 2019 at the earliest.
You can't build a consistent, contending team on prospects alone. Not all of them will turn out, no matter how highly they are regarded. The farm system is important but you need to mix it with some shrewd FA moves as well.
JPA has a .415 OPS?
I'm surprised it's that high actually.
PaganCan't believe I miss him lol such is the sorry state of the Mets.
No. But up and coming Bobby Abreu was!
Of course he was, Terry pls.

Wilson gets the save and doesn't give up a single run. The beard is back?
