flawed logic, dude. guy's 162 game average for his career is a .383 OBP and 40 homers. “putting the ball in play” is overrated.

No: more movies and less Twitter girls. And more sports, obviously, since everyone chimed in on this post.

I avoid guys like Dunn at all costs. His power isn't enough to compensate for the 0-4, no BB nights.

Less fantasy sports, more Star Trek and Terminator and Twitter girls.

actually, strikeouts i don't mind, so long as the walks are there. adum dunn is the perfect case of undervalued talent.

don't buy it, you can prolly download it for free off a torrent site or on Ares.

sorry for nerding up your comment section, brian.

I definitely get what you're saying; I avoid players who strike out a lot, and focus much more on OBP instead of average, and get pitchers who don't walk guys and who win less, but have very low WHIP and ERA.

nah its just you. but it's fun in the sense of self-serving ideologies. like me trying to prove that you can do well with a bunch of slow guys who draw walks at the top of the order, or stuff like that.

Had never heard of it until just now. Looks interesting, but is it head to head with anyone else, or just you vs. the computer? The best part of fantasy sports is trash talking with friends.

I've dropped everything – not just blogs. Blogs and most columnists I dropped a long time ago. I don't even check the headlines anymore.

If it's big enough, I'll hear about it, ie LeBron's new trophy!

I used to comment in many places, but I've lost my desire to do so anymore. Plus, I've also discovered this thing called “girls” that you speak of. Puberty–what a concept!

Blogs do community very poorly. After a while, we realize that no one really cares in real life that we can break down the triangle or analyze VORP. Unless your friends are similarly obsessed (and mine aren't), who cares?

fire joe morgan, the best blog ever. the guy (who actually turned out to be that Schur dude who writes for the office and is now semi-ruining my image of him with the parks and recreation abortion) got tired and he and his buddies stopped last year. they focused on baseball stats and idiotic announcers.

What is fjm?

My point is that's the level that I didn't think you would be into fantasy sports. It was a compliment.

I keep checking back, hoping it'll reboot now that baseball has restarted. That was a sad day.

It's an obsession with manipulation and convoluted strategy – like chess. I think it makes perfect sense for my personality.

Murderer, huh? Thanks.

i'm still in “i can't believe fjm is done” shock.
