So my wife was going to surprise me with a trip to either Arizona or San Diego this summer to see the Phillies, but it turns out they dont play any games in either June of July on the west coast this year. I cant believe that MLB doesnt schedule summer west coast trips for all the teams.
Yes. You can make a list of players and auto-draft. The link is in the notes on the league page. I've had some good teams with Yahoo's auto-draft. It works pretty good.
You'd think they'd be able to take your family vacation into account when schedule 5200 games. How hard can that be, anyway?

Exactly! Just have the east coast teams come west at some point during the summer. It doesnt seem like it is to much to ask.
It's starting to get a little ridiculous. These guys can't even last a month? Makes me wonder about the fitness training. When there's so many millions involved, they need to emphasize getting some arm stamina from these fragile snowflakes.
More likely the wrong type of fitness training. They're trying to get little extra velocity and a little more movement on the offspeed stuff. They need to back off from that fine line of extreme performance to save the arm.
That tubby workhorse with the 4 ERA and 200 IP is starting to be a lot more valuable. The thoroughbred is useless if he can't finish the race.

Dude not cool, CC lost the weight.
You heard it here first. Strasburg has been Cygnus'd. Cygnus using his powers for good for a change!
I'm sick of the stupid fans who are grabbing at JBJ's dick. If Grady is healthy, you start him and have Bradley work his way in. It's just common sense.
I agree. JBJ will get his shot due to injury or whatever at some point this year.

Grady Seizemore your starting CF? C'mon son.
That and he will be sharing some time with Nava likely.
Still, who knows if Sizemore will work. I thought it was a fantastic signing. His max potential is possibly better than anyone in our outfield. At worst? He is back in Pawtucket or DL.
What's your point?

It's 2014
...and?
Jeets is still the starting SS in 2014 too if we're playing that game.

When has Jeter been injury prone?
I'm still not sure about DP's actual point, but if you're looking at Jeter vs. Sizemore starting in 2014, then Jeter is far more embarrassing.
Last year and being what, 38? with no range for the past half decade?
He hasn't had any range for nearly the entirety of his career and him being injured last year doesn't make him injury prone like Sizemore.
But at least you guys have options other then Sizemore, whereas we have Nuñez...
But he is 67 years his elder coming back from that injury. Difference is the Sox have a viable back up strategy.
You guys are deluding this conversation to where it doesn't need to go. There is an obvious difference between Jeter and fucking Grady Sizemore.
Sizemore is risk free. His max potential is absolutely fantastic, he isn't limited in his play to this point, and he has looked good.
Jeter isn't risk free. If he goes down, it's Eduardo Nunez time. So, it'll please the couple Yankee fans on here who have told me that Nunez is a future perennial All-Star.
If there was an actual risk to Sizemore dying, then there might be a point. If he is healthy and playing to his potential, throw him in the field until he dies.
Eduardo Nunez future!

Other than crazy ass weekend warrior, who else thought Nunez would be a good player?
I don't remember. I just remember having the argument with him and someone else jumped in and sided with him. My mind was blown.
I know I joke about Nunez with Malo a lot, but someone seriously defended Nunez? Oh god lol
Yup. I asked them to reaffirm and they were sticking with the point of him being a regular All-Star and he just hasn't gotten his chance yet.
My brain.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Jarrod Parker to undergo a second Tommy John Surgery next week. In other news; the sky is blue.

Has Nunez ever been given 500-600 ABs in the majors? I think he can be a serviceable player if he had a glove, but that's the problem with him.

Did ToxicAdam get perma?
There is a reason why he hasn't been given that. Nunez exists soley because they have control over him and he plays at such a consistent slightly below average level, they rather not risk burning out a potential project.
Also, I don't think they have any projects at the position who are even close.
It's hard to say because a lot of guys who get two TJs don't complete their rehab, opting for retirement instead.
They did for mine! I was able to make it to all the California parks in a week.
I gotta say I'm not too confident at this point.
Something like 50%? IIRC, it's significantly lower the second time around.
Yes I was.
