      If so, then I am prejudiced against the Diamondbacks. I can't figure it out, but I hate just about everything about this team. I like a few of their low-end pitchers, Delgado, Bracho, and a hitter or two, but every year I like this team less and less. And it wasn't really that long ago, I was rooting for them so hard to beat the Yankees that they became one of my favorites teams.

      Now I can't stand them.
      I can't stand them and I live here.

      • I bet this will make you like them better.



        wait, no it won't.
        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.

            I like the uni's.

              wait, no it won't.
              Of course, that's probably the same attitude every Pollock owner has right about now.

                Yeah. I think it's supposed to look like scales, but I don't really see it.

                • i'm a d'backs fan, but not of their new uniforms. i like the old purple and green ones.

                  the full 2016 set is here: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-...forms-for-2016

                  i guess i get my purple/green ones (though it's the white version, not the solid purple one) on throwback thursday...

                    I'm a big fan of Corbin this year and got him for 18 in an 11-team NL-only. Segura went for 20 and Miller was a keeper at 15.

                    • on the d'backs new uniforms - the rockies announcers touched on it briefly just a bit ago. apparently for the d'backs first 7 games, it's a different uniform every game. the rockies announcers didn't like it much.

                      • Is this the year Nick Ahmed isn't a total zero at the plate? He went undrafted in my 11-team NL-only and we have our first FAAB on Monday (first time ever actually, we just switched to FAAB this year). Is he worth more than a few dollar bid with $100 budget?

                          What are you other options.

                          Ours would be Ehire Adrianza so yes I would spend a few dollars to get him if I had a an injury.

                            • I basically had this grim choice at the DL replacement phase Sunday. I took Wallace because... ah, I panicked. I got nuthin.
                              also took Alejandro De Aza in the same phase. barely even embarrassed about that one.

                                Raburn plays half of his games in Coors and several more in Chase. If you have to roster a shlub, it's best to get one that plays in Colorado.
