Fun read.

I've talked about him a few times, but he's not there gaudy Ace of the pack. Won 20 games the year Chavez won the Nebraska.

Twin Cities is Kicking Heartland Ass.

Injured Outfielder Changes Roles http://montybrewster.net/MBBA/OOTPFiles/lgreports/news/html/images/person_pictures/player_37662.png Outfielder Tomas Chavez , Last season’s 5th round pick, appeared in 10 games for the Nine’s Rookie League team, hitting .205 in 44 AB before breaking a kneecap and mi...

You should see the ones I cut.

I wouldn't mind signing him from a talent standpoint, but I'm not paying upward of $2M for him. He's not THAT much better than the other guys we've got around.

I will say that right this minute it's doing well for me. I'll also say that even if it doesn't help speed...since we don't really use the mini-chat, I find the site a bit more useable without it taking up the bulk of the top of the screen. If it was used a bunch, it would be worth it, but most ever...

Interesting. Then I wonder if it's something with me. I get some pretty laggy response times with both my desktop and laptop, though. So if it's me it's with my connection rather than the machines...but I don't get delays on most other sites. Hmmm...

JANUARY 29: ENTERING THE HOME STRETCH The team goes 0-fer in the International Free Agent market, which wasn’t that surprising. It also goes 1-2 in the traditional free agent market, convincing Steven Gibbons to rejoin the team, but losing Chris Lee to Hawaii’s 4-season, option weighted deal. That’...

Oh, the old "I'm going to Europe" excuse.

I hate it when I forget to change rotation settings.

He needs 26 more to pass Emile Yost, and 41 to catch David Klopp. Without these injury problems, he probably would have caught them...

Sigh.

Follow-up. While the other guys get more ink, Sanchez's 104 career victories is #3 on the all-time franchise list.

Interesting stat of the moment...Ricardo Diaz has a 0.49 FIP and a 5.73 ERA...his BABIP is .586.

Yellow Springs fans continue to cheer for their cult hero, Pepe.

I like the cheap pickup of Archer.

It's great to see Escobar back to something that looks a little more like him.

Pok was a fair enough backup catcher for a lot of years. I think that is clearly in the past.

The forum continues to be mostly fairly slow for me, and based on other comments, I'm assuming for others. I'm wondering if the mini-chat at the top of the main forum is part of it, and if so, since we basically don't use it, if it would be better to turn it off? Or have we had that conversation in ...
