Dallas Keuchel! Wow. What a performance on the mlb.tv free game of the day.

No doubt! I thought I had my WHIP & ERA locked up in my H2H. But my opponent had Beckett & Keuchel..

I laugh at people who drafted Bruce Harper in the first or second round, then left Nelson Cruz sitting there in the 5th and 6th...and 10th...and 15th...
I have him in 2 of my 3 leagues, everyone was down on him because...he took a long time to sign, I guess?? Or the pEDs.
Wie if you could do it over would you still pick Stanton over Cruz?

I got Cruz in the SIXTEENTH ROuNd in our league
Holy rusted metal
In my other league it was 13th...still, the number 5 fantasy hitter went for peanuts while goobers gobbled up Harper and - for some reason - Andrelton Simmons?!? - ahead of him.
Wooooooow

Well heading into the season Harper would be a much better bet than Cruz, Cruz was not expected to OPS almost 1.000 and Harper wasn't supposed to miss half a year, you can't simply look at these things in hindsight.

No excusing peoples love affair with Simmons however

Both leagues I play in use OBP so I always avoid a player like Simmons.(Also one of the reasons I was so high on Dozier!)
Harper has always been a tough guy to draft. The potential is enormous. In his rookie year he put up numbers that NOBODY at his age ever put up before. He has prolly more upside than anyone in MLB. But his aggressive style of play leads to injury and I'm not sure the power numbers will ever be there for him to be fantasy elite. I don't think he is a 1st but I can't fault someone for taking him in the 2nd based on the upside. If he had made it to my 3rd in any of my drafts I would have snatched him up.

Donaldson and Moss powering my offense today. Geez between the Rockies dominating and the As doing so well, Rage and OD should have like, some grand-loser party. As and Rox in the WS? OD and Rage can meet and hug away their loser pasts.
Anyone notice the amazing 2B offense this season? Even if you take away the top 3 - Cano (no power anyway), Pedroia and Kipnis (DL), the 2B talent is amazing. Dozier, Kinsler, Neil Walker...I have ALL THREE in one league, and I can't figure out who to bench. I have Daniel Murphy in another league - the dude hits and steals, and the occasional homer helps too...I picked up Bonifacio in one league, too, and the guy is doing well enough to be an occasional asset. Then there's other mainstays like Utley...guys that just took off like Dee Gordon, leading the league in SBs...Jose Altuve with the avg/SB combo...and that's before you even scrape the next level of guys like Matt Carpenter, Anthony Rendon, and the out of nowhere Solarte.
That's 12-14 starting-caliber fantasy 2Bs...not one of my leagues has over 11 teams.
THEN there's Aaron Hill, Brandon Phillips, Dietrich on the Marlins, Dustin Ackley, Jed Lowrie...I mean those are guys that are offensive assets on a fantasy team, or could be. Phillips is highly owned and has a good avg.
That just seems...remarkably deep. I would usually start a draft by trying to fill the tough offense spots like SS/2B/C, but this season 2B is easy as pie, at least two months in.

middle infield talent has been remarkable this season.

Wow!! A win for the ages!! I was about to come on here and curse out AOL... It would have been back to back blown 5 run leads at the same time he started preaching about Nelson Cruz. But my boy, the pride of Michoacan, Yovani saves the ****ing day!
When was the last time you saw the next day starting pitchers for both teams pitch hit in the same game?!
