What do y'all think about Tom Murphy? I've been pretty high on him the last two years. I legitimately think he has 25-30 HR power playing half his games in Coors, but he'd need 400+ PA to hit that and I don't think he gets it. He's got good, and improving, underlying numbers in his two (small sample size) call-ups; LD% was in the mid 20s, hard hit and HR/FB almost near 50%, and as far as I know, he's defense isn't so atrocious that he can't stick as a catcher without needing to move to the OF/DH. He's hurt now but I can't imagine the Rockies are going anywhere, so there should be incentive to at least give him a shot to prove he can be a every day catcher when he gets back, right? Does anyone think he's ready and can take the reigns? I grabbed him with my last pick in my keeper league and stashed him on the DL which is a pretty low-risk/high-reward gambit, but he's going to need to come out guns blazing for me to justify carrying two catchers and I'm not going to trade Perez unless I know I can conceivably replace him.

He owns in the minors but he's a prospect so who the gently caress knows

I think he's hella worth it

Dozier walks a lot and Falvey/Levine apparently have Molitor using stuff like wOBA to make lineups now. Buxton had a really good Sept/Oct last year and carried it over into spring so they're probably hoping he'll keep that train rolling.

So for some reason in the Goon league all of my game times are showing as PST on Yahoo. Anybody know how to fix that? It wasn't an issue during football season, and I can't find a timezone setting anywhere.

There should be a time zone option in your Yahoo account settings and I'm convinced they periodically change it on you to piss you off because I'm pretty sure I've fixed it like 4 times

I find that Yahoo randomly shows game times in Pacific time every once in a while and eventually just reverts back to Eastern. No idea why. I don't change any settings.

Then you'd figure he'd be used to it by now.

I'm tempted to just drop him at this point, he's only on my team because I had money left over in the last rounds and I wanted to screw one of the other guys who didn't.

EDIT: And I draft good catchers to act as backups on all of my teams, but for some reason whenever my starter sits, it seems like my BUC does too. Ugh opening week.
