I'm trying to think of the most inaccurate SS I can remember from recent memory. Offerman? Lugo?

Is this the worst pitcher you've ever seen?

Maybe Sheffield in MIL when he was throwing balls away so they'd trade him.

Dude should switch to a position player.  He's a better hitter than pitcher.

How has Davey Pena managed to stay in the league for 4 season? Also, who would spend their IFA budget on him? Also, what scout would, with a straight face way 'you have to check out this pitcher I found'

Is it possible this pitcher was the winning entry in the scouting fraternity's version of the old frat party game "Dogfight", where the bets were on to see who could bring the ugliest broad to the party?

I'd probably keep that guy around Rookie / Low A just in case there was a DITR armageddon that overcorrected awful prospects. That guy is one oversight on an update away from being the epitome of a "buy low" guy.

Rookie, rookie, LoA.   He won't retire yet.  Looks like he signed for $0.   One with a weird sense of humor.

It is possible.

That is not a question.

Although I'm starting to agree with you that base stealing preference per player would be exploited, do you think base stealing setting need to be tweaked? I'm really tired of having a guy try to steal second with runners on first and third with two out.

I know you're not into social media, but I'll ask the question anyway.

A non-immediate family member is inadvertently posting what can only be characterized as gay porn on his social media page.  He's an older man, has never come "out",  I doubt he's ever acted on them, but clearly has latent homosexual tendencies.  He would probably be mortified if he knew that he was inadvertently sharing these photos.

My wife and I have "unfollowed" him, and I went into my son's social media account and unfollowed him there as well, as I don't wan my son seeing these pictures.

Should I say something to him about "did you know that you're doing this?", and if so, how do I do it discretely without completely embarrassing him?

There probably needs to be a tweak.   Maybe a "close game" or "late inning" tweak.   I'm sure your stupid baserunners are sometimes safe in stupid situations but you don't notice because, well, they're safe.   But, if the situation(s) like you describe can be removed from "down 1 in the 8th", it would likely be less annoying to you.

If you think he'd be "mortified", and you don't despise him, you should say something.   Because someone who does despise him will.   And it won't be discreet or pleasant.   As to how to go about it, I might steal from headpirate.   Something along the lines of "I'm not sure if someone has got into your account but there have been some NSFW pics posted on your page."   Don't tell him it's gay porn because, if he's doing at as a way of coming out, he'll probably think you're a judgemental dick.   But, if he thinks you're just saying it's porn, maybe not so much.

No, you cannot.   But I stole some of your post.

My buddy once accidentally tweeted nude pics he had saved on his phone to Jim Ross, of WWF broadcasting fame. 
Point being, strange things can happen when you don't know what buttons you're pressing.

Mike, how would this guy fare in Fenway? Would my fans boo him out of the Eastern timezone or embrace a 5.00 ERA?  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Moises Melian

5 is very optimistic.    That must be quite the tanker world where a guy with 12 control gets over 700 innings of 2 WHIP/6 ERA.

Wow. Just looked at that Melian guy. 133 BB in 108 IP?

Which leads me to ask, if a guy has good ratings, but continues to tank, how long would you give him?
