Neowin Fantasy Baseball Season 2007

So... I've had Michael Cuddyer on my roster all this time but I never watch Minnesota play.

As a result I've always thought it was "Cudd-yer" but, since they are playing my home team tonight on TV, I see that his name is pronounced "Cudd-eye-er".

The more you know!

I think otherwise. I would be giving up Vlad and 2 pitchers with 150K's combined and an ERA of around 3.30 for 2 average hitters and a rather good pitcher.

That's fine. All I know was that the current rankings of the players I was offering were twice as good as the players I was requesting.

You were judging them by overall rank and not O-Rank because your players' o-ranks were in the 300's and mine in the 80-100's :|

I am still looking for a bat or two if anyone has something to offer. I need to make a jump to 6th place in the coming weeks.

Well, 20 odd posts ago you told me that considering their O-Ranks was naive.

What is good for the goose doesn't seem to be good for the gander. :p

:D

Incidentally, our trade of Lance Berkman for Eric Byrnes and Troy Glaus is finally paying dividends for me. Lance Berkman was my best player during the last month.

Eric Byrnes hasn't exactly been underperforming for you either but for a while there our trade had seemed extremely lopsided. Troy Glaus hasn't been much of a factor.

Byrnes has been pretty solid for me and Glaus has cooled off the in the past 1 1/2 weeks.

Interestingly, I picked up Dmitry Young from FA and look at his stats. He has hit in nearly every game for the past 2 weeks with Runs and RBIs as well. He's definitely the best pick up I've had as of yet.

A lot of my starters had two starts last week which will limit my options for this week.

Granted I needed all of those starts to get the 4W and thus get the win for wins. However, I could have used some of those 82 strikeouts this week. 61 of them were wasted last week. :(

I'm going away for a little bit and I need my players to have a good night tonight. I don't want to leave down 9-1 to virtualmadden.

I won't have internet access so Mr. Franchise should benefit a bit. Luckily the all-star break is making this all fairly painless.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm back. Rich Harden is back on the DL and, although that isn't a good thing, it does allow me to exchange Rickie Weeks for another player without having to drop an extra player to do it.

It doesn't seem like I missed anything. I had my few available players all set to play last night but, in retrospect, perhaps I shouldn't have.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
