LOL. Nice.

claphamsa · 03-29-2013, 10:01 AM

it feels wierd not checking this every 10 min

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-29-2013, 10:41 AM

I downloaded an update from the rotowire app and it spit out slightly different data based on the newest depth charts and position battles etc.

Ill see if I can upload the chart

claphamsa · 03-29-2013, 10:47 AM

send trades! trying to move hill... need a 1b and or a LF

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-29-2013, 10:52 AM

TOP THREE TEAMS ARE:

1. Roadkill Cafe
2. Troy Trojans
3. Klein Bottles

The team number is based on your draft slot.

Poor CleBrownsFan, I am sure their algorithms were created by neophytes and that you have no reason to worry.

MizzouRah · 03-29-2013, 10:54 AM

Very interesting!

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-29-2013, 10:54 AM

Got to be honest, I am a bit surprised I wasn't ranked higher in wins. But the projection includes all bench players and I didn't have as many total pitchers as other teams. At least that's my excuse.

claphamsa · 03-29-2013, 10:55 AM

bah! LIES!

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-29-2013, 10:58 AM

So you won't have the top slugging team in the league?

claphamsa · 03-29-2013, 11:02 AM

i wont have the top slugging but non homerun hitting team in the leauge. no :P

TRO · 03-29-2013, 11:24 AM

I'll take a projection of 4th.

Danny · 03-29-2013, 12:26 PM

Lets just use these projections to determine our champion and forget about the season

. Overall, I am happy to see the results, My main focus for hitting was ABG, OBP and SLG, so glad I was able to come up big in those categories.

CleBrownsfan · 03-29-2013, 12:29 PM

I like being the underdog!! haha

Good luck everyone!

Comey · 03-29-2013, 03:02 PM

I'm higher than I expected.

What surprised me the most in looking at the matchups is just how many people aren't starting full teams. Seems like everybody is too good to cut at the beginning of the season. Other than Bruce Rondon of course.

PackerFanatic · 04-01-2013, 10:53 AM

Starting off strong...Hanley on the DL already and in my starting lineup

MizzouRah · 04-01-2013, 12:59 PM

Who was wanting to trade me for CJ Wilson?

No can do!

claphamsa · 04-03-2013, 06:33 PM

nothing like picking up an LF (ludick) and having him die his first at bat.

SEND PITCHING!

Danny · 04-03-2013, 08:49 PM

What an awful first few days for my team! Time to blow this squad up!

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 04-03-2013, 08:54 PM

Right now subbys team has thrown 30 innings of shut out baseball against me. I mention this because its unbelievably impressive and also in the hopes of jinxing him

Danny · 04-03-2013, 09:01 PM

Wow Orel's record isnt that far off.

Danny · 04-03-2013, 09:03 PM

I see 27 innings of one run ball

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 04-03-2013, 09:12 PM

I think the first 26 innings were a shutout. Lance Lynn gave up a run within the first five minutes of me posting this. The jinx worked!

Subby · 04-04-2013, 07:59 AM

Is that 48 minimum innings thing true? I don't think we are going to make it if it is....seems high!

It is true, and easier to hit than you think. With 6 starters at an average of 6 innings per outing, that is 36 innings. Add on an occasional 2nd start during a week for even say, 3 of them, and you already hit it. That doesn't even include the two RP spots and the other two SP/RP spots. Missing the min does happen, but not often at all.

PackerFanatic · 04-04-2013, 08:04 AM

Unless of course Yahoo jacks with the weekly schedule like they did last year - but it looks like they fixed that this year

MizzouRah · 04-04-2013, 09:54 AM

I am not trading Holliday or CJ Wilson

I agree its crazy, the whole point of an inning minimum is to stop people from sitting all your pitchers after one pitches well... not an issue in a weekly league.

I have no chance of making this

Danny · 04-04-2013, 08:28 PM

I've never really liked the minimum ip requirement myself it costed me about 15-20 wins last year and twice was because I had pitchers get hurt

That is a valid point. I know SI has had discussions in the past about why he did it that way in the first place. Maybe something to look at for next year.

yeah, its gonna cost me a ton this week. I dont have enough healthy starters to make the min.

claphamsa · 04-06-2013, 01:13 PM

Still trying to trade Aaron hill or alexis rios. need SPs!

claphamsa · 04-07-2013, 01:58 PM

I need 2.1 innings from my relivers....

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 04-07-2013, 02:17 PM

I am certainly glad I have built my team around sp.

claphamsa · 04-07-2013, 02:39 PM

yeah, i completely missed the 48 min innings... I figured with innings being a stat, why would you have a minimum? especially one that is tough to make.
