The 2016+1 EWB Baseball League Thread

[thatshortguy]

It is not a good time to be a catcher on my team.  In the span of three days:

-Buster Posey takes a fastball to the head.
-His replacement, Geovany Soto, busts up his elbow.

If someone has a hit out for Lucroy or Jason Castro, just let me know now, k?

Oh, and feel free to bitch about the league here.  Ain' nobody got time to clean up the draft thread.

Last season pitchers had to have a minimum of 15 IP combined for our pitching to count, but I don't see that requirement listed at the bottom of the page this year. Is there a minimum IP that has to be reached again or no?

Personally, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict the Cubs to break the curse and finally win the World Series. 2016 is their year, I can feel it.

That should still be the same as last year.  Yahoo may have removed the mentioning during a redesign.

Last week my team killed it, this week they suck. Boooooo.

So does that mean IP doesn't matter?

[thatshortguy]

That means it's a category you aren't competing in.

wtf I won a week

Yet another year where I lose one of my top picks to a PED suspension. Fuck drug testing! Let them go crazy!

So I picked up Trey Mancini and it's a bit odd that he's only eligible to play UTIL. 

Is that just a Yahoo thing? I've never seen that in any other league before.

Yeah, it's usually used for players that are exclusively DH.  I think it came into prominence when David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez shifted to DH roles as opposed to 1B or 3B.

Hey, that Eric Thames guy is decent!

Btw, I think you and I face off next week, so early congrats on your win.  I'll be on a boat somewhere dangerously close to the Bermuda Triangle.

I'm sure you'll be a step up from @HC, whose Flamas are being Blanca'd 7-2 right now

"You have a bench spot free!"
"Drop a player to add a player."
"But.. I thought. You said.. bench.. free.."
"DROP. PLAYER. ADD. PLAYER."

c'mon yahoo

Also I'm in the market for another pitcher to replace stupid butthole Cam Bedrosian.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I feel like half my roster is DTD or on the 10-day DL. christ.

[thatshortguy]

Alright, who wants Johnathan Villar?

[Twist]

Can I thank whoever dropped Lucroy? Because he's been killing it since I picked him up.
