And when Giancarlo Stanton came to him saying he needed help laying off the slider away, Bonds simply responded: "Well, don't swing at it!"

Maybe Barry Bonds was secretly trying to throw everyone else off his scent, teach everyone to be horrible to keep anyone from ever approaching his greatness as a batsman. Maybe with a head that giant you're playing games within games in your cranium!?

NL only league.....Miles Mikolas or Jack Flaherty for 2019?
Brad Johnson
5:03
I'll take Flaherty on upside and Mikolas on floor. I'm not entirely clear on where they're going ADP-wise yet
I avoid that info for as long as possible so I don't anchor

Who do you prefer of Brandon Lowe and Jake Bauers? What about Nathaniel Lowe? Seems like a trade is going to have to free up one of those guys.
Brad Johnson
5:04
I don't see any of them as can't miss MLBers. I'd put the over under of just one of them being a starter caliber player at around 50%
long term
I'm sure they'll each have their year or three where they play with some reasonable production

A pizza is here so it's time to wrap it up

Is Alex Reyes a sell in Dynasty? Or do you believe he can stay healthy?
Brad Johnson
5:05
That depends on what's available
I've shopped him in the league I own him and heard crickets
5:06
But those guys are big into football so they probably didn't even open my email
If you're getting paid, it's not a bad idea to divest into something healthier
But I suspect the better value will be to keep Reyes

Pepperoni
Don't mess with the classic
Everything else is worse

Although Mellow Mushroom has a fantastic potato and bacon pizza if you ever feel like blowing $28 on bread and cheese.
Not Chris Smith

Absolutely.  Last year, Rizzo went for $55 I believe (coming off his 'down' year) . . . Justin Upton went in the $28-$32 range . . . Darvish went for $38.  Would rather keep Blackmon under $30 and Cole at $25 with those prices.  As you said, it's never fun to end up fighting with 11 others for the handful of bankable guys left, or for the last guy in a tier.  Last year after most mid-tier closers went for $15-17 (more than i wanted to spend),  I got in a bidding war for Trienen at $23 ($5 less than A. Chapman). . . worked out well in that case, but that was only thanks to the 95% outcome.
Brad Johnson

In that case, Blackmon and Cole seem like easy picks

Our dynasty roto league ended in a tie the day after we thought the league was over (stupid game 163). Commissioner congratulations sent out and all. We voted that we were all reasonably under the expectation that it was done, and only one of the teams had guys playing. Yahoo! was not counting that day, but CBS was. Did we make the right decision? I'm torn, because while not everyone played 163, not everyone even played 162.
Brad Johnson
5:09
That was a bit of a shocker. I've never noticed Game 163 be counted in the past, but that doesn't mean it's not an established tradition
I might just be unobservant
5:10
That's one of those things that could be added to a constitution :)
(see yesterday's article on constitutions)
And on that note, I'm hungry
Thanks for playing
