Neowin Fantasy Baseball Season 2007


Recommended Posts

Damn bangbang what the hell is with your pitching? An ERA of 7.5!

It apparently doesn't matter. I seem to be overstacked in pitching but that doesn't seem to be enough to put me ahead quite yet.

W 2

S 3

K 15

ERA 2.12

WHIP 1.18

I have one week's experience with Fantasy Baseball but... why aren't we tracking fielding errors?

Would that make for a more well-rounded game? Neowin Fantasy Basketball tracks the lowest turnovers, Neowin Hockey has +/- rating but Neowin Baseball doesn't seem to have much to cover the defensive side of the game (there's more to defense than pitching). I seems like a missing element.

Obviously we've already drafted for 2007 and maybe there is some reason why it doesn't work on a practical basis but I thought I would mention it for next year.

Good close week, bangbang023. It see-sawed back and forth quite a bit.

Incidentally, in the absence of errors being tracked, I'm actually hoping that Rickie Weeks makes a ton of fielding errors at 2B since that may make him OF eligible (according to rumours, Milwaukee might move him to the OF unless he improves defensively this season).

The DH position makes it a bit tougher to implement defensive stat tracking fairly and, honestly, I tried to pick some of the more "fun" stats. Focusing solely on offense and pitching puts the focus on the simpler aspects of the game. On top of that, if I add fielding percentage, people with good defensive catchers would be crying for stats that would help them out.

I'm willing to deal OF Dave Roberts (and possibly 2B Josh Barfield) for any good offers. Roberts had 49 steals last year and many teams could use help there. I simply don't find myself using him because of my over abundance of outfielders.

Okay, I'm a little over the top with closers especially now that Eric Gagne is back. Todd Jones has the most saves of anyone on my squad (with 5). He's currently ranked 33rd overall. I would listen to serious offers for a starter.

Should Octavio Dotel ever get healthy it will be ridiculous. I won't have enough reliever spots (the 2 RP positions plus to three P positions) to enable them all in one night which means that I'll have to guess as to who will get some innings and who won't. That's too much effort. :) At least with a starter I'll know that if he pitched yesterday that he won't be pitching today (or tomorrow or the next day).

Anyway, that's my problem. If anyone needs a quick injection of SVs then that is your ticket. I figure I'll still be competitive without my SV leader (because I have 9 other SVs from a collection of 4 other relievers plus, perhaps, Dotel).

I'm obviously not looking for a starter who is drop-worthy.

I just remade the bottom fifth of my team. It didn't help my RP situation however so the previous post still stands.

Edit: I only dropped three players. It seemed more painful that that at the time.

Update: Todd Jones jot got his sixth SV after pitching another inning with an ERA of 0.00 and a WHIP of 1.00. That should improve his ranking from 33rd overall.

Okay, it doesn't look like it but I have solved my RP/SP problem. Within a few days I hope to get SP eligibility on two of my relievers.

So, other than a general interest in improving in the OF and my annoyance that my backup shortstop seems to suck, I think I'm doing okay now.

I was attempting to move Todd Jones while I thought his value was high but now I'll just keep him and hope to win the SV category each and every week.

p.s. I already miss my StatTracker. :(

Other than being generally cheap, it seems wrong to pay for information on the Internet. Certainly, it's a bad precedent. I don't want Internet content providers charging for everything.

Yeah, I know, but this is how it's always been. That's why I'll check out ESPN next year and see if it has what we need. I'm not too fond of their on site ads, but if it saves Neowin members some money, then so be it.

If we have two leagues next year then we could split it. Yahoo isn't bad even without StatsTracker. You just have to wait until the next day (or stay up VERY late).

Edit: I don't think ESPN understands hockey. Their stats for SV% and PIM don't make any sense. How can you average negative penalty minutes?

My needs now are for a 2nd string SS.

I'd like to trade:

Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B) O-Rank:136 Current Rank:27

or

Marcus Giles (SD - 2B) O-Rank:161 Current Rank:21

Both players are very hot (as you can see by their current rank). If someone wants Stephen Drew (Ari - SS, O-Rank: 138) back in a trade that can be arranged too.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine, 
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
