It's not uncommon for him to start slowly. He won't help much in wins until traded, but he's a buy-low opportunity if you need help in ERA, WHIP and K.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Ryan Howard may not be en fuego yet, but he has 6 HR in 15 games. BA is ..234 for the season, but .295 the last two weeks.

Hamels a little wild so far, but 46 K in 44 IP. HQ projects him with 22nd-best ERA among MLB SP going forward, so he's right at your estimation really. I'd be fairly bullish especially if you get any "his team sucks" discount. doesn't always affect a good SP's Ws anyway, and he could get traded soon to a better situation.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

totally depends on Hamels' relationship with the media and how long the prank lasted.
hard to believe, but this is an actual professional working environment.
so if someone pulled the fire alarm at an office, and it was taken so seriously that work product was lost in the scramble, that would not be treated as funny and someone would eat a shit sandwich. in this case, there is a risk of an actual viral public frenzy that gets away from even the Phillies.
for those of you, almost everyone, who don't put out public information in real time - as your competitors do - you have no idea what you are talking about. the quick screenshot suggests a reasonable scramble, but this is a clueless athlete.
that said, this bit could have played out with us 25 years ago, pre-internet, we'd have scrambled, no way to get it out to the public, then a confession - and all in good fun. but not anymore. doesn't seem malicious, but it was amazingly ignorant of the era.
as noted in the link, the writers can all spread an inaccurate rumor about him on an off-day, he starts scrambling - and then the joke is on him.
wrong era, sorry
anyone who still likes it, list your occupation and what similar real-time, publicly noticed scramble for you would be as amusing. or stand down.
again, I get that Hamels was just being playful. but he was also ignorant and clueless, as I explained. I do look forward to the details I will read about equally public pranks in other fields of posters that are just as entertaining.
I will not hold my breath, however, just because.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I'm in the media...and that's damn funny stuff. This guy has heard about being moved for about 2 years now, and finally did something to take a pretty subtle jab at those who've been talking that up all this time.

and as I said - and it's an enormous distinction - 20 years ago, VERY different story. then it's all inside the clubhouse stuff, and that can cut both ways - and did. so either it can cut both ways again, now, too, or it can't. you pick.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
