Allen hasn't done squat all year.    Him.  For now.

There won't be one.   But the new "clubhouse leader" will be McCann.   Had this discussion yesterday(with a Mets fan who was telling me how awful the Beltran/McCann signings were).   Jeter leaving will create void.   Now you could get a dipshit like A-Roid becoming the de facto leader just because he makes the most bank.   Or you can get someone else with a strong personality.   That's McCann.  So, while his production was crap, he'll fill a void for the next few years.  Beltran was a horrible signing.

Probably not.   Lean years ahead.

As of this moment, 12% of over 210,000 respondents to ESPN's Sports Nation poll have indicated they believe Derek Jeter to rank among the top 5 best baseball players of all time.

What is wrong with those people?

He's the poll he's referring to.  Do you find it frightening?

Is Derek Jeter worthy of even a moment of consideration as being among the 5 best YANKEES of all time (Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio, Berra), much less players?

Who would win in a 70s style stick swinging melee; Derek Jeter, or Gordie Howe?
9/26/2014 12:44 PM
They cannot comprehend the greatness that is Jeter.

I don't scare easy.

I don't compare Yankee greats.

Jeter.  Unless Howe had the home country advantage.   He'd kill Jeter in Canuckada.

How do you use pitchers with great ratings for a starter but only three pitches, rated at a 75, 72, and 43? He has been shelled in the Bigs thus far but dominated in minors.

Just because.

I did.

They often end up as long relievers.    For whatever reason, I find them too inconsistent.  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Robert Olson is a good example.

My guy has even better splits, too :( wouldn't a tandem B (or A, for that matter) work out the same as LRA?
9/27/2014 10:28 AM
I don't think so.   Like it or not, SIMMY puts in the "best" LR based on the situation.   As a tandem B, he's automatically coming in when the A comes out.   I think the LRA role puts him in a more favorable situation.

How much would it hurt to have a pitcher with great control.....3 pitches above 70, but have splits projected in the  65-75 range. I am interested in this guy, but I was wondering how much it would hurt to throw him in my rotation.  I realize he will not get full projections, as he is 26 and  I do not believe he will go from 75 to 85 in a season...at least his over all projections.  right now he is  84 stamina 93 control  left 60  right 63  velocity 84  pitches 76 74 77 47 . in 2 season in the ML he is 19-16 with a 4.03 ERA...his over all ratings are  right now 75..but I do not think he will reach his 84 projection...lefty/right  projected  68 and 75.... I realize he will not be a top starter...maybe a bottom of the rotation..but could you give me an idea of his worth?

I think you have a decent long reliever.   That 4.03 is probably the best you're going to get.   He should always be in the 4-4.50 range.   Which would make him about league average.

Mike, is it better to promote a prospect 2 levels so he is with better coaches?  He was in Low A last season.  My High A hitting coach has a hitting rating of 54.  My AA Hitting coach has a hitting rating of 73.  He'll progress more with the AA guy, right?
