              I can imagine. I know if anything happened to my Marlins carryover, I'd be pissed.

                Clearing The Hurdle, Or Clearing The Fences?

                The Pirates completely dominated the Red Birds on opening day! Clint Frazier worked a full count, and wound up with a lead off single against the Cardinals ace - Chris Archer. Next batter, another rookie - Tim Tebow. 1st pitch fastball, Tebow deposits a home run deep into the right field bleachers (437 ft) to give the Pirates the lead. Things would only get worse for the Red Birds...

                In the 5th inning, Archer would allow Frazier and Tebow to get on base, and than walk Todd Frazier to load the bases. The Cards brought in left hander - Corey Luebke with Brett Wallace coming to bat. Wallace immediately crushed a ball to dead center for a grand slam. Trevor story hit a solo shot to top it off.

                All told, the Pirates won 12-1 with 15 hits in the game, to include 6 homers (the 1-5 hitters all had a HR)

                  Finnegan Finds a Home
                  Sox, Nationals Swing Deal


                  The Brandon Finnegan saga is over. The upset young starting pitcher was found a home that should make him feel better. The Nationals picked Finnegan up for their rotation along with infielder Alen Hanson and in return traded Corey Knebel, C J.J. Hardy, and LF Rico Hernandez.

                  For the Red Sox, Knebel continues an effort to shore up the bullpen. This likely will relegate Robles to AAA where he can try to figure out why his stuff plays down more than it should.

                  J.J. Hardy is a bit of a dark-horse prospect...but he might not stick at catcher either. His bat is likely major league quailty. The defense....not so much. That is something the Sox will work with him on at Pawtucket...and it might need a lot of work.

                  Rico Hernandez has fallen on hard times. He was a solid B prospect but now has dropped into the C range. Scouts were not pleased with him, obviously, and doubt he'll regain that former ceiling.

                    Wait, there's a created player catcher named J.J. Hardy? That's pretty funny. Is the real one still playing?

                      Gave up on the Pirates. Just wasn't feeling it (I think after my tribe chise I have been spoiled by the dh). Sooo we're going to embark on a Yankees franchise - hoping to snag Joey Votto as my center piece

                        LOL yep, I was like "that name sounds familiar"

                        I will have to check when I get a chance later on the real one.

                              Finally was able to settle on a good roster and team for a fantasy draft. Ended up hoing with the red sox.

                              Lineup
                              LF Ichiro Suzuki
                              RF George Springer
                              DH David Ortiz
                              SS Carlos Correa
                              1B Greg Bird
                              3B Adrian Beltre
                              C Yan Gomes
                              2B Chase Utley
                              CF Billy Hamilton

                              Bench
                              WB Jurickson Profar
                              LF Brandon Durry
                              C Austin Hedges
                              2B Ramiro Pena

                              Utley and Profar split time at 2b while Drury spells Ichiro when he needs it. Gomes gets a fee games at 1b to stay fresh and Pena is a decent utility player for me.

                              Rotation

                              SP Noah Syddergaard

                              SP CC Sabathia
                              SP Andrew Heaney
                              SP Henry Owens

                              Bullpen

                              LR Jack Peavy

                              RP Carlos Torres
                              RP Henry Hayashi

                              CP Glen Perkins

                              C Ryan Gallagher
                              SP Jasom Sutter

                              SP Felix Rosado
                              SP Rick Malloy
                              CF Ken Micklus
                              C Emil Ojeda

                                I changed his name to J.J. Synder that's what the random re-naming device (read: some dice) came up with.

                                No, the real Hardy isn't in the league anymore.
