SpoFi Puckathon 6.5 - Half a League is Better Than None: Well, I'm not sure how many of y'all are willing to follow the NHL after the lockout, but if you're up for it, I've set up a rotisserie league following the setup that SkyDive Dad used in days of yore. I've set the draft to go off the day before the puck hits the ice. The League ID if you need it is: 39210 And the password for joining is: lockoutschmockout

I caught this checking on my spofi league stats last night and saw Cobb's line. My eyes nearly popped out of my head.

SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle

Carlos Quentin makes his living by putting himself in the trajectory of rapidly moving hard objects. Consider the followingif you remove the plate appearances in which he got hit by a pitch from Quentin's career and pretend that they never happened, he would lose more than 3 WAR out of 8.6 WAR he generated over more than seven years in the majors. About 35 percent of the value Quentin generated for his employers has come by the way of a bruise.

What I don't get about Quentin charging the mound is that getting hit by pitches is one of his skill sets. Dude leads the league in HBP just about every year.

Heya, baseball league commish here. Sorry I haven't updated. Been caught up with some other things. Seems like everyone's on board for it or at least doesn't object to it, so I'll look into powering up the keeper rules today or over the weekend.

If you need it, the league number is: 22523

We seem to have a stable stable of players at this point. Is there any interest in converting to a keeper league? Yahoo's offering that as an option now. I'd keep the stat distribution we've been using.
