Stupid fantasy advice

Advice that is for stupid fantasy, not stupid advice about fantasy.

I have Gojira, another guy has Timmy. Straight up trade for each other? I have the ph34r about Tim's sophomore year.

Fantasy advice concerning one of our very own Orangemen

lunaticfridge — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 20:35:00 -0000

In my draft, I got a little shafted with respect to closers, and I was only able to get Chris Ray (whom, when I saw he was on my team, I could not recall drafting), Brian Fuentes, and Joel Zumaya Yeah Yeahs. Now get this: Armandogeddon is still available. In light of his seeming resurgence, should I add Mando and cut Zumaya, since I'd be getting a surer number of saves (20+, to be conservative)? Or should I look at Zumaya as a longer-term investment, waiting for the inevitable day when Todd Jones gets a bacterial infection of some sort? Or should I cut someone on my bench (probably one of Ryan "George" Zimmerman, Ian Kinsler, or Barry "Legal" Bonds)? (Our league is 9 teams deep.)

Giants finally add more power

The most powerful source of power in our solar system, in fact -- AT&T Park is adding solar panels. The power won't go to the stadium, though -- it'll be dumped back onto PG&E's grid. Kudos, in any case.

Perhaps more relevantly:

Despite the Giants' addition, opposing pitchers still plan to pitch around Bonds.

New wrinkle to Barry's game

With Bochy aboard, I'd have thought that the team, and in particular Barry, would bunt less.

OT: MCC Writing Group is a GO

I went with Yahoo Groups, and for the moment all y'all who wanted to sign up, go there and join. The details aren't settled yet -- hey, if anyone can come up with a snazzier title than McCovey Chronicles Writing Group, then by all means! -- but we'll (hopefully) come to a consensus once we're all in (like Winn).

OT: Official MCC writing group?

Seeing as a number of us are into writing, I thought maybe we'd like to form a writing group where we'd share and critique each other's works. I'd like to gauge the possible interest first before laying the infrastructure (I'm thinking a Yahoo! Group or somesuch) -- who's in like Flynn?
