Calling that a blah performance shows how good he is. Then again, so does the price you paid for him. Maybe a blah bid, not a blah performance?

So find ne a Kershaw owner who is satisfied so far. Has zero to do with what anyone paid for him. His season thus far is not even close to what is expectedOriginally posted by cavebird View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Seriously? Thats a good game from a top 3 SP? 7 games and in 4 of those he went 6 or less IP . If you think Kershaw owners are happy, you're nuts!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

so what would you take for Kershaw in a trade today. Tell me equal value in your glazed eyes.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostAfter former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

Easy. I found one, me! He's leading my 1st place pitching staff. Best pitcher on my staff, obviously, 48 Ks, 2.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostComment

A top 10 hitter. Or a top 25 hitter and an SP2. Look I still love the dude, but it seems like he is on the slow descent to being simply very good and not phenomenal.Originally posted by Hammer View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Who are your other SP's? If those stats are the "best" from your SP's, then it's hard to believe that your pitching is first place. I would think that you have some other lesser SP's pitching above their heads.Originally posted by Ken View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Not sure why it's hard to believe. Kershaw's stats are great. He's on pace for > 200 Ks with a sub 3 ERA, that doesn't exactly grow on trees.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post
Rest of the staff:
Michael Fulmer
Jake Junis
Lance McCullers
Blake Snell
Joey Lucchesi
Aaron Nola
Jameson Taillon
Plus Edwin Diaz and Shane Greene as closers.

Then we disagree about "great" stats. You obviously have SP's who are pitching beyond their expected performances thus far, so when they regress to the mean (did I use that correctly?) if Kershaw isn't his usual sub 2.25 ERA and sub 1.00 WHIP, your staff will likely lose points.Originally posted by Ken View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Why are only my lesser pitchers allowed to regress? When Kershaw regresses he'll be back to what you expect if we're going down that route...Comment

so if someone offered you Gerritt Cole for Kershaw youre making that deal?Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostAfter former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

Just traded Kershaw for Stanton in RJEL. I don't think either of us knows if we should be happy with that, so I guess that means it's about fair. Stanton definitely fits my team better - due to some odd league dynamics I had made a trade for more starting pitching when I probably already had enough, so before the trade, in an 18-team league, I had Kershaw/Sale/Greinke/Bumgarner/Morton.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

That's my whole point. You are relying on Kershaw "regressing", and I'm saying that maybe this is the year that he drops off.Originally posted by Ken View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

I might.
