Thanks Stalin!
Colonic will suck during the regular season. -
Is he hitting breaking balls yet?

We talking practice

Maximum LIPO. Yes, it is “practice”, but if he was hitting .049, everyone would be “See, told ya!”. He has made obvious adjustments, and is hot right now. Hitting is fluid as fuck. 12 weeks of .400, and 12 weeks of .200 gets you .300 (my maffs not strong, but it sounds right)
That is the game. Riding the highs, and trusting your shit enough to not tweak or rebuild a swing after a few 0’fers…I will be happy with .250, 20 jacks and 2 -

I recall him driving a curve to LC, which is a really good sign, a sign that shows an adjustment…you have to “let it travel” (baseball buzzword potd) to do that. Patience is not in abundance for young’ ‘uns…Bob_C said:Is he hitting breaking balls yet?

Let's see if we in the HH fantasy league can get @chuck to bid $35 for him in the upcoming auction draft

When I was 19 or 20 I organized a fantasy baseball league. I recruited a good friend of mine to play. He didn't know shit about baseball so I gave him a book to read called How to Win at Rotisserie Baseball. He read a section where it talked about the key to winning is getting a great hitting catcher because there are so few of them.
We were doing a draft back then instead of an auction. I had the #1 pick and took Rickey Henderson. Somebody else had the #2 pick and took Jose Canseco. My friend had the #3 pick and took... Mickey Tettleton. Everybody about fell out of their chairs. Based on my memory, Tettleton had hit .220 with 15 homers the year before. Guys started asking my buddy what the hell he was doing. He blamed it on the book I gave him.
He went on to finish dead last -
Not to one up or distract from fantasy baseball, but I once participated in a fantasy football league where the company troll (he was a fat little stumpy guy who looked and waddled like a troll) used the first overall pick to take Barry Sanders. Only problem was that Sanders had retired the year prior.DerekJohnson said:When I was 19 or 20 I organized a fantasy baseball league. I recruited a good friend of mine to play.

That was gonna be my strategy. I figure that if I draft a bunch of players who don't play I'll just get average production from everyone. Maybe that's good enough not to finish last. That's my goal.BleachedAnusDawg said:

The ol memory misfires from time to time. I looked it up, in 1989 Tettleton hit .261 with 26 homers. The story still stands though.DerekJohnson said:When I was 19 or 20 I organized a fantasy baseball league. I recruited a good friend of mine to play.

No its a joke Stalin, Tettleton isn’t a hall of farmer, he is a complete bum that is in the same category as Bob Uecker as a Catcher… I photoshop edited the graphic in the great spirit of Malarkey.
As you said, the pick by your pal is a legendarily bad pick that defies any logic and demonstrates no understanding of fantasy baseball ~ great story. -
Maybe, and the trend is obviously a good one, but meanwhile the broad mix of innings filler to major league pitchers and guys that are simply trying to get their pitch count up at this point in spring training means that batters have been able to sit on a pitch [fastball], so we will see about Kelenic.Tequilla said:My semi trained eye says that what I’m seeing and hearing from Kelenic is real and not a fluke

This same guy was once sent home from work because he had blood on his t-shirt from bleeding hemorrhoids that he apparently was itching at or something. It was of the top-5 most disgusting things I'd ever witnessed. Keep in mind that this was at a place that manufactured sensitive medical devices.BleachedAnusDawg said:

He grunted when he pissed at the urinal while hunching over it to support himself against the wall. Smoked like a chimney and smelled like a tobacco plant that was on fire.
One time he was all pissed off at another guy who was razzing him about something that wasn't a big deal and he threatened to go home, get his gun, and come back and shoot the place up. He got a timeout for the day for that one because nobody actually took him that seriously.
Shockingly, he was married to a female of his species. After meeting her at a company event it was easy to see why they were with each other. -

I am pro Kelenic. Cautiously optimistic he's figured things out.

True test is first string(?) of o’fers. Pollock to protect is key, as is hitting down in the order
-
I'm watching to see if he starts taking a few walks too. Right now he isn't and doesn't need to bez but things are about to get a little more serious as spring training hits the home stretch.Fishpo31 said:True test is first string(?) of o’fers.

Pollock in the clubhouse as a positive ally and balancing force is really helpful, hopefully he can be helpful to the kid.

It's great to have Poloock, especially since Dylan Moore has to start the season on the IL.Fishpo31 said:True test is first string(?) of o’fers. Pollock to protect is key, as is hitting down in the order
Pollock is having a very slow spring, hopefully that's not indicative of the season he will have. -
I’m not a hater but I will know that the talent and depth has arrived when we no longer have room for Moore.
-
Guys like Moore are interesting. He’ not an everyday player, but he does stuff that an everyday player is unable / unwilling to do…adequate defense at multiple positions (including SS / CF), baserunning, capable pinch hitter. Most important, he wants to do it. It allows you to rest JP, Geno, and others, without praying the ball isn’t hit to them. Haggerty too…
I have always felt that the 2001 M’s MVP was McLemore because of this very reason. When Guillen was lost in the playoffs, Lou lost the flexibility of plugging him in to exploit matchups -
I don't know. It's not easy to have guys better than Moore in bench roles. He isn't a black hole offensively as a role player. He's actually better than most realize especially if used smartly...mostly against lefties. He takes walks and he can hit it over the fence.TheRoarOfTheCrowd said:I’m not a hater but I will know that the talent and depth has arrived when we no longer have room for Moore.

Moore is super valuable, dude can play for my team anyday. Less confident Haggerty what did last year is repeatable but having two legit super utility guys would be a massive advantage.
