Yeah I never thought i'd be interested in it, then did it one year with friends and now it's on par with football for me. Soon you'll find yourself reading articles about prospects.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Funny part is, because of my baseball card collection growing up...baseball and stats were imbedding in us, or at least me. I used to watch complete baseball games all the time. Mostly Dodgers, but I'd watch some angels, and whatever was broadcasting locally (pre-cable days). That's why personally, I don't care too much about baseball outside the region/state...but I'll remember some off the wall baseball shtein from 20-25 years ago.

Same here - I have about 50k cards from my collecting hey day. They're holed away at my mom's place. But I haven't really bought any since 1996ish.

The baseball card stats aren't what mds and people of his ilk like nowadays though. If they had their way cards would look like farging calculus equations on the back.

I used to like seeing what minor league team they came from...and how many played in Pawtucket.

Hundley
Chirinos
Rosario
Flowers

Those are the four best on there. The Rockies will probably platoon or play Rosario in other positions

Not a whole lot of good options. But keep an eye on those and grab the best of the four after a week or two

i realized that fantasy baseball was pretty much the only reason i paid attention to mlb the last 5 years. i'm not playing this year and there's a good chance i don't watch a single second on tv this year. i will go to some to drink though.

can anybody else not make a move while games are in progress?

ive been trying to get rid of diekman forever and every time i go do it says i cant because hes playing.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
