I am writing the NPB previews and I got a question for yous.... When I give the position player "/" line is there any other stats you think might be important What would be a Pitcher's "/" line? I got ERA / WHIP / K/BB and I am going to add K/9. Anything else that I am forgetting?

Mark Reynolds turned down a $3 million offer from a Korean team; received multiple minor league offers and chose to re-sign with Colorado. http://www.denverpost.com/2017/02/14/mark-reynolds-turned-down-3-million-return-to-rockies/ Mark Reynolds, you are officially a cool fuckin' dude.

I hope Michael Brantley is able to play this year. If he's nearly as good as 2014-15 then the Indians lineup looks to be exceptional.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:They were fun to watch the last half of last year and should be even more this year between old guys like Bartolo and new guys like Dansby. They may do the opposite and get worse in like July selling decent veterans who got hot to make room for Ruiz or Albies or whatever pitcher looks like they're gonna pan out at the moment (Newcomb? Soroka?). But what I realized last year is even a bad baseball team wins like 40% of their games so just watch all of them and it can't hurt that bad. You are so right about this. As bad as the Braves were, the season still had some enjoyable moments. I think having the team come out and finally say "we're rebuilding" made it easier.

Well I hope he performs well enough for a deadline deal. Ideally for myself, he'd end up back in Cleveland and he'd help us win. That would rule.

Bartolo is literally one of my favorite yankees of all time and he pitched 160 innings of yankee baseball.

I love him for a few reasons -Trading him (and Tim Drew) to the 'Spos netted Cleveland an incredible haul: Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore, Lee Stevens and Brandon Phillips. If only we could have gotten something good for Phillips when we sent him to Cincy, it might have been the best trade in franchise history. It might be anyways. Still pretty amazing either way, though. Plus he pitched pretty well for Cleveland while he was here: 75-45, 3.92 ERA. And that was before he learned to have better control. -He's a true character. Sports needs characters to be interesting. -The most hapless hitting pitcher ever, sans that bomb he hit last year.

Bartolo Colon and Brandon Phillips were traded for each other 15 years ago, and they're teammates in Atlanta for the first time this year. Besides Phillips, he's outlasted every prospect he was traded for. will_colorado posted:Mark Reynolds turned down a $3 million offer from a Korean team; received multiple minor league offers and chose to re-sign with Colorado. I'm a little sad we wouldn't get a chance to see Mark Reynolds tee off against Korean pitchers though.

Man remember when Johan Santana murdered his arm to deliver a no-hitter to the Mets and then basically never pitched again.

Not That Into You posted:Just got my MLB.tv renewal notice -- does anyone know if the same sharing rules (5 concurrent streams) apply this year? I don't know that there was ever a formal 'rule' like this - that's just what groups have been limiting themselves to in order to avoid drawing any attention from MLB. IIRC there was some trouble last year with people having accounts completely shut down, but I think that had more to do with group members using VPN proxies than with the size of groups - my group of five had no problems last year, anyway.
