Top third in all of my leagues save one or two, shot to win two or three, might only win one. Describes my average year I guess. One is too little -- I'm in a league with some obsessed one-leagues and it's NUTS -- but 15 is too many.

Tell me how to feel as a Yankee fan

Eno Sarris

1:20

Very excited about the young guys, enough to look past what happens this last month.

You're designing a player. You have to start this player every day, and you have 200 points to distribute among the five tools (on the 20-80 scale). How do you divide them?

Eno Sarris

1:20

0 Legs

1:21

80 Hit
80 Power
20 Field
20 Arm

I just built the best DH of all time. Frank Thomas?

Everyone knows the reason for king size sheets is flatulence containment. Tuck those babies in around your body and you are home free.

Eno Sarris

1:22

Biscuit's spouse is like dammit every morning i wake up sheetless and Biscuit is like, yeah, but you slept through the storm.

Hypotheticals

1:22

I like it. I'm literally imagining this guy as having 0 legs.

Eno Sarris

1:22

BUT MAN HE CAN HIT.

Erik

Which season in the past 10 years or so will go down as one of the greatest of all time? Seems like we're in an era without dynasties and the overarching, historically-relevant stories they bring, but maybe it's just hard to see without enough distance.

Eno Sarris

1:23

How do you measure a season?

Number / percentage of meaningful major league games?

Run differential across all games in the postseason?

% of total possible games played in the postseason?

1:24

WP shifts in game in postseason?

Relationship of champion to regular season win% ? (Underdog factor)?

Biscuit

1:24

Listen Baby you can be cold and fresh or warm and stinky but not both. Never both.

Adam Waiwright lost a seasonto a batting injury. Randy Johnson's career ended because of one. Chien Ming Wang's career didn't end batting, but he was never the same after hurting himself running the bases. Still no NL DH

Snowflake

If your buddy, let's call him KD, got a giant tattoo of Rick James while in Amsterdam, how high would you assume he was?

Jaff

1:25

Wrong Eno. Put all 300 points all to character and grit. All you need

JD15

Right now I just play in one league (18 team keeper with college friends), but thinking about doing another next year. Do you play in any leagues with only people you don't know or didn't know at the start of the league? Is it weird?

Eno Sarris

1:25

All the time, it's fine.

Well, I guess I usually know one or two people... but I did join Rosenheck's league and didn't really know anyone.

Martin

1:26

Is Robbie Ray a legit guy to own for a fantasy playoff run? All the Eno-approved metrics (K-BB%, E-F, SIERA etc.) jump off the page. He was just dropped in my league.

Eno Sarris

1:26

Yeah, I like him for that Dodgers start, and maybe even the next one at home.

All Elbows

1:26

Holy crap, did you know that crabs "down there" aren't really crabs at all? Uh, I mean....happy birthday Star Trek.

SK1

1:26

Of the rookie OF's who would you keep for next year? Dahl, Mazara or Benintendi? I'm thinking Dahl based on the Coors factor

Eno Sarris

1:27

I love love Mazara, love Benintendi, like Dahl, but Coors turns like into love.... I might go Mazara, but you have another month to check it out.

I think I could take a really obese beagle.

Eno Sarris

1:27

Has to be undomesticated or I'm quitting the hypothetical.

1:28

(are there wild beagles in some really nice tame country like maybe Denmark)

(imagine coming upon a field of wild beagles)

STiVo

1:28

Why wouldn't you give your hypothetical DH 40 legs and 0 field/arm? He's designated to hit and run the bases!

Eno Sarris

1:28

Well I just don't think much of legs so I started there.

Mr. Met

1:28

I understand the Tebow signing is low-risk, low-cost, but am I cynical in thinking the Mets are more interested in publicity generating moves than ones that end up helping their ballclub?

Eno Sarris

1:28

This doesn't hurt their ballclub.

RotoLando

1:29

Lee Marvin had 300 grit. He did pretty well

Hey

1:29

40 legs sounds inconvenient for playing baseball, imo
