  Hey guess what.... Jose Quintana isn't at the top of anyone's rotation anymore. He's a #3 and will remain so.   Tell me more about how good he was 5 years ago and how that's still relevant now.

Could be that way. Again, I read it as any 3 batters in any order and then back to wherever natural lineup left off. I’m just thinking about the chess match of Ibanez-type power bat coming off bench when opponent sends out the lefty in the 9th.

  We're still speculating but I don't see the intent of this proposed rule change to have anything to do with defensive alignment.  The way I'm reading it, Managers would go to the umpire with their first three batters to begin an inning.  After those three batters, team falls back into where...

Now the chips are starting to fall, lol:   -Francisco Liriano signs with Tigers -Erick Aybar signs with Twins -Michael Saunders signs with Royals   Still about 60 FAs still out there. Who the hell knows where Jake the Snake ends up.

Would probably never happen for the 9th inning but I'd be all for in the 10th. I saw a few games that went deep in extras last season and not only does it wear out the players but it potentially fucks up scheduling.    If allowing managers to bat any three players in extras innings stands to end...

  Yeah, Tim Lincecum was also a complete stud Ace once too. Shit changes. 

  Like I said, most colleges don't.

Rich Eisen said on his radio show that MLB execs have considered a major change that would allow managers to bat any 3 players they wish in the 9th inning. According to Eisen, the proposed rule would only apply to the ninth inning, and managers would be able to designate any three hitters to...

Free leagues die by mid-season.  Many GMs don't pay as much attention to lineups when there isn't money involved.  GMs that fall back early will also throw in the towel and the league becomes half active.  Seen this play out too many times.

  Yankees are being overrated because they acquired a guy who hit a lot of home runs last season, but also struck out 163 times.  There's big question marks at all 3 bases in the Bronx.  Bird is still a big "maybe" and we have no idea what to expect from Torres/Andujar and now Drury at 3B.  Go...

  11-11 with a 4.15 ERA screams "ACE".  You're so right.

Well they've got the lineup to win the AL East for a 3rd year in a row now. Won 93 games last season and they added a guy with splits better than Giancarlo's, dating back to 2015.

Kinda cool Hosmer is going to wear #30 as a tribute to Yordano

I run a roto league with a $50 buy-in, if anyone is interested. 

Slapnuts Nation rejoice!

Haven’t heard nor read a single person outside of Brett005 suggest Quintana is a #1 SP.

Caught this on the Twitter machine and found it interesting: Interesting quotes out of Boston camp from team owner re Sox offense last yr, where Chili was hitting coach: "We would've had significant power last yr if we had a diff approach..I don't think we were nearly aggressive enough."

Halos bring in Chris Young and Chris Carter. Angels OF is pretty damn legit.

If they do get a stadium deal done, I fully expect them to put all their future eggs in that basket. This is the small market blues. Good news for the 12 Rays fans out there is Durham was really good over the past couple seasons. They’ve got a lot of really good ‘spects coming up.

Ive heard Schiavone and Bischoff downplaying this. Both have said Nash and Hogan more or less had the right to veto and would let writers know what they wanted. An example is Nash wanted to either be the first guy to beat Goldberg or be the guy who beat the first guy to beat Goldberg. Nash was...
