Hillsboro Hops here. I'm going to try to play this season unattended until the weekend because I need my life back. I've got a 45K card sale going through in less than an hour that I'll probably use for one or two upgrades before going to autopilot.

So, I've got a bid in for a new full-time DH, so I can ditch the platoon (McGwire & JD Martinez) and gain another spot for a defensive backup. Once that goes through and my old DHs sell off, I hope I'll have enough to find a better RH-hitting catcher option.

Plenty of good teams in this league, hoping the Burgers will finish above .500 this week. Lost 8 straight after winning the first 4. YEAH BABY

Redmond Base Stealers.
Team is based on trying to create some chaos on the base path. So far so good...but it looks like B6x may take the "most steals" title for the league. His team is just a bit more financially secure and a Ty Cobb has not fallen into our hands just yet. Not sure if we can compete with so many strong teams. There is already a 12-3 wildcard team. Wow. |

In the words of Sam the Eagle from Muppet Family Christmas... "Why am I here?"
Enjoy the points the Mustangs dole out as we quietly relegate back down. |

A huge welcome to my new DH, Jimmie Foxx. Keep doing this, please. (minus the 5 LOB)

Good one....I remember that scene. Put me down as one of the weirdo friends!!!
Good luck with the promotion-demotion cycle. I went through it twice with my All-Silver team. Playoffs-Relegation-Playoffs and now back to trying to avoid Relegation. |

I almost picked him up as well but settled for DH: Willie McCovey Jimmy Foxx (Wille McCovey): Con: 79 (77) Gap: 73 (71) Pow: 94 (95) Eye: 67 (64) Ks: 27 (50) I will keep a close eye on that competition. We are in the same division. |

McCovey is better vs RHP, but he's sort of average vs. LHP. Foxx crushes both L & R. Both good players and with 3-4 out of every 5 games against RHP, I can see a good reason to go with McCovey.

I'm pretty close to just going with an all-RHP rotation. Have 97 Randy Johnson and 88 Keuchel starting, who both dominated last season until the playoffs, and now are starting so bad. I already relegated Chris Sale to the pen last season and I think I may begin the search for 1 more RHP starter. Too much RH Power hitting in Perfect.

You are correct, according to my projections formula, I have Jimmy Foxx listed higher but once I applied results from last few Perfect seasons, he dropped a few spots.
I have not seen him produce very high WAR seasons so far. He tends to give up too many Ks and ends up leading the league in that. This is why it will be fun to keep a close eye on this match between the two. To be honest, I wanted Edgar Martinez but he was not available. Maybe next season. |

I am getting worried about the strikeouts. I built my team not giving a damn about Avoid K, but i think I'm starting to feel it. I may flip some guys for similar players with better Avoid K. |

Agree....I feel like I went through the same situation a while back. Randy seems to be hit and miss (the 97 card is outside the top 20 in my DB). Too often his walks/9 was above 3 and he also gave up HRs in important games. His card price dropped quite a bit. I like the Dallas Keuchel card. In a league with so much contact+power, his 96 Movement is really nice to have. In both of my leagues, he had just .10 to .30 HR/9 and almost 4.5WAR each season. Unfortunately, I don't have more data on him. Teams are still adding him and giving him a chance in Diamond and Perfect leagues. |

You are correct. I saw him a few times last week (usually towards the end of the week). I know he was snatched up as soon as we started talking about him. I have owned Edgar for 3 seasons and he has been consistent for me. |

Another option I really like at 1B (after I moved Edgar to DH) is Jason Giambi:
His April stats in my other Perfect league have been amazing: .450 AVG, .549 OBP, .762 SLG, 2.2 WAR. Unfortunately, I have no data for him for an entire season. At this rate, I see him take the rest of the year off and still end up with a higher WAR than any of my other players. Last edited by joehart; 01-22-2019 at 12:09 AM. |

I am aware of 15 Diamond Starting Pitchers with Movement equal to or greater than 78 (an arbitrary point I picked solely because that is where the color changes ). Only 2 are LHP - Gary Peters (90 OVR, 83 Movement) and Hal Newhouser (97 OVR, 78 Movement). Even if there wasn't such an excessive amount of righty power in Perfect, there still wouldn't be enough acceptable Lefty pitching options. Even if we throw in the historic Keuchel (86 OVR? I think we're being trolled...), and even if all 3 perform up to the expectations placed upon Perfect League pitching, it's still not a full rotation. |
