Yeah, Yahoo isn't great but compared to ESPN it's incredible.

That's funny, I feel the exact opposite. What do you think is bad about ESPN?

I don't like their interface compared to yahoo's. I remember trying to find players was not an easy process. Other small stuff that I forgot about. But honestly the #1 reason is that they figuratively told android users to gently caress off because they didn't actually bother making their app usable for like three years.

There's a league setting where players don't become available until they're called up to the majors

We use that already, which is where the surprises/complaints stem from. Ultimately it's just a minor annoyance outside of one case.

Abel Wingnut posted:

i don't get this at all. you just click the tab called 'players' and search for their name? am i missing something simpler on yahoo?

i've also used a lot of computers in a lot of places and espn's fantasy site has always been massively quicker than yahoo's, especially true since yahoo moved to the new interface a few years back.

yea, i agree with the poster above--am i missing something?


Maybe they fixed it but to answer your question you're missing the bit in my post about the phone app.

To get off the subjective stuff: Eno Sarris ran the numbers and DL stints are up 50% this season.

For the people thinking they wanted to maybe expand the number of DL slots in your league, that figure may help. Eno himself is in favor of it:

If you have any twins or rockies players you may want to swap them out tonight, or at least keep an eye on the game status. It's pouring right now and the forecast doesn't look like it'll let up.

Same reason you would build one anywhere I suppose :confused:

For anyone with Kennedy, don't forget he's coming off the DL tomorrow to start one of the games in the doubleheader.

Marwin Gonzalez was a free agent in one of my leagues so I picked him up because he can play everything but catcher, is he just hitting way over his head right now or is it possible that he's actually going to still be good?

I'm about to drop Lucroy as my waiver claim for Jimmy Nelson. 8-teamer, so nobody wants to trade for him, and Sanchez has been my everyday C anyway.

It just feels...wrong.

You really need to throw out everything you're used to when you're dealing with tiny leagues, the talent pool is so bloated that guys who are solid starters for a normal league are waiver trash.

Which side wins? Conforto or (Mazara + Fulmer)?

I'd be getting the pair and am leaning heavily towards accepting it but this guy always sends me terrible offers so I'm immediately suspicious that I'm misjudging this.

Who are you dropping to make room for Fulmer?

I'm the idiot that's probably still going to keep Buxton in that league

Also I wouldn't keep Thames, he's fallen off hard. July was good but he still struck out more than three times as much as he walked (and his BABIP was very high that month).
