Open Thread: 3/26 Camp Notes

The Yankees didn’t have a game today, but Phil Hughes remained on schedule and threw six innings in a minor league game. He allowed two runs and struck out four in front of Brian Cashman and Billy Eppler [YankeesPR & Erik Boland]. Frankie Cervelli played in the game as well, hitting a dinger. That’s pretty much it, the next time the Yankees have a day off it, it’ll be the day before Opening Day.
Here is your open thread for the night. The Knicks and Nets are both playing, plus MLB Network will air a game later. Talk about whatever you like here, go nuts.

You just illustrated what I love about being a fan of baseball. One day off means that a lot of games are coming our way.
frankie also threw out 3 runners at 2nd base.
All 3 were on relays from centerfield.

I laughed.
Uh oh. Montero went 0-3 again today in Japan. Does this mean he’s done? Did we win the trade? Is JAPAN the home of the better pitching staffs?
I say they leave him there. He’s clearly shot his bolt.
I told you he couldn’t hit Japanese pitching. And this doesn’t affect his ST line, so why should he bother? He needs more of challenge to perform.

Well clearly Montero’s no Tuffy Rhodes, then.
I drafted Michael Pineda in one fantasy league and Jesus Montero in the other. I will have to follow their seasons on daily basis.
Cy Young and Sayonara.
We’ll see.
Maybe we can get him via posting fee.
According to Frankie Sanchez, Austin and FLores hit bombs. Sanchez’s was to RF. He was also playing some excellent d behind the plate. Great day.
Oops, missed a comma.
As someone who has never played fantasy baseball before, and am only playing on a whim, I’d love to get a quick review:
C – Carlos Santana
1B – Prince Fielder
2B – Dustin Ackley
3B – Mike Moustakas
SS – JJ Hardy
2B/SS – Kelly Johnson
1B/3B – Mitch Moreland
OF – Jacoby Ellsbury
OF – Nick Swisher
OF – Matt Joyce
OF – Brett Gardner
DH – Vlad Guerrero (admittedly, I fucked this part up, and will probably make a move before the season begins)
UTIL – Logan Morrison
B – Colby Rasmus
B – Kendry Morales
B – Allen Craig
Pitching (and I have no clue how one is supposed to proportionate their SP/RP – I have 7 SP, 2 RP)
SP – Felix Hernandez
SP – Cole Hamels
SP – Jon Lester
SP – Stephen Stasburg
SP – Adam Wainwright
SP – Max Scherzer
SP – Derrek Holland
C – Jonathan Papelbon
C – Jim Johnson

Flame away, please. I am confident in my baseball knowledge – I have no confidence I drafted properly. That’ll happen as a fantasy novice.
Thanks.
I’m skipping out on fantasy this year, but that seems pretty solid to me.
what are the roster spots and scoring settings?
1st fantasy draft? Well done. Just Cut vlad, kendry is your DH.
Good team, but I’d trade one of those first 5 pitchers for another high-impact (power) bat. This would be especially wise if streaming is allowed in your league, in which case you should trade two of your SP’s for two good bats.
Streaming will allow you to win any cumulative stats you have without really having to house too many high-end SP’s.
If you’re looking for a rookie DH I’d try and get Devin Mesoraco, Anthony Rizzo, or Yonder Alonso. Yasmani Grandal could also make the team so I’d keep an eye out. Nice Draft.
Holy crap, that’s a really good team.
You went a bit too heavy on pitching. Try selling high for a bat because after all the bats play everyday.
The infield has a ton of upside but I don’t know how well they’ll be in 2012. But all in all a solid team.
Very solid team. Most of mine have been when I’m at work, so I pray for the best when it comes to autodrafts.
I would say keep your eyes on the players who are FA in your league. Mid season callups, breakout players, etc. could really help you out. I lost by only .5 pts last year in a 20 man/25 player league, but I picked up players like Ackley and Montero that got me that close.
Pitchers especially. Have a few flagged for when you have guys hitting the DL.
All comments duly noted and appreciated.
How about that Kim Jones replacement?
Looks like a major upgrade. Still may not offset the Ibanez downgrade.
We’re not supposed to talk about it on RAB.
I want my Michelle Beadle back!

Does anyone have the statistics as to the probability of getting hurt on a trampoline vs getting hurt in a car accident?
I did but I crashed my car into a trampoline and the documents disentegrated upon impact.
Your fault, you shouldn’t have been so careless.
I laughed.
I can confirm that Raul Ibanez got no hits today
Johnny Damon approves
