Fake Teams A little help...

I'm normally pretty confidant in what I should do but this trade offer is killing me. The league is PPR with bonuses at 75, 100 and 125 yards.

The trade: The Cam Newton owner has ffered me the following.

I get Phillip Rivers and Peyton Hillis for MJD and Matt Schaub

Thoughts? My team is as follows

Don't really agree with the Red Sox being #1 overall. I'd take the Braves, Rockies and Diamondbacks drafts over them. But damn this seems like a great draft.

23. Giants
Didn't have picks in first three rounds but uncovered super sleeper Sergio Romo (28).

6. Braves
Yunel Escobar (2) is a quality shortstop, Tommy Hanson (22) has frontline upside.
5. Brewers
Ryan Braun (1) became one of major's most devastating bats within two years.
4. Nationals
Got an all-around star in Ryan Zimmerman (1), innings-eater in John Lannan (12).
3. Diamondbacks
Justin Upton (1) a worthy No. 1 pick; also got Micah Owings (3), Greg Smith (6).
2. Rockies
Colorado hit on just one big leaguer: Troy Tulowitzki (1), baseball's best shortstop.
1. Red Sox
Jacoby Ellsbury (1), Clay Buchholz (1s), Jed Lowrie (1s) arrived before second round.

Little League Sportsmanship Question

I got this email from the commissioner of the 9-10 year old baseball league that I am coaching for: Any coach that sends his kid into the batters box and tells them not to swing, while a kid on the other team is struggling pitching, should be strung up by their buster browns out in center field and left there for the rest of the day. AND, if I were the umpire (and you can trust we will address this) I would call a strike on the very next pitch regardless of where it was. This is NOT baseball and should never happen. If you're doing it with only the bottom of the lineup, then we ought to allow the kids to go out to wherever you're strung up and give you lashes with a wet noodle. This is bad sportsmanship and a real crappy thing to teach all the kids, especially the little guy that might want to go up there and swing the bat. Don't do it, please." I was wondering your thoughts, is it really unsportsman like? I personally think its OK and I was one of the coaches telling my players not to swing on wild pitchers. Thoughts?

Oh, man! How cool would it be to get them to wear that baby blue albatross of a jersey? So very cool. Chicago voting rules are in effect.

edit: on second thought, is the road alt even the worse of the three?

Apparently he gave "loans" to prospects in the Dominican. I doubt he is the only one and he is being Barry'd on this issue, but still that is a big risk for someone to take. Especially when the company the over see is doing just fine with top prospects and players currently in the US.

McCovey Chronicles Modern Archeology: Wilson's Beard

I thought it would be fun to go back through all of Wilson's apperanses and find pics of him for each to see the progression of his beard. Yeah, that didn't work out so well. Out of his 70 appearances this year I only found 17 with pics. See the pics after the jump and please add pics.

My brother-in-law can't believe that I don't believe in clutch and has been trying to convince me of clutchyness. His latest argument is this argument in the NYT about hitters who are hitting 299 or 300 in their last AB and how often they reach that mark. I find this study really bad as no variables are mentioned, most notably the scorer being more lenient on the last day and the talent of the pitcher.

Red Bull Flugtag Philadelphia and SF Fans

So I attended the Red Bull Flugtag this past weekend, fun but lame after an hour, and ran into more Giants fan than I have in a long time. I was wearing my orange brimmed hat and heard "GO GIANTS" three times, saw 4 others sf giants hats (w/o a cheer). I want to know which ones of you attended.

Article about Nyjer Morgans "Rules" infractions.

God, the only thing I hate more than the Unwritten rules of Baseball are the Dodgers.

Accuscore, says that the dodgers are less likely to make the playoffs after their trades (31.9% before vs a 21.5% chance now). While the Giants have increased their chances (60.9% before to 64.6% now)

Again LOL DODGERS

The idiots are coming out of the woods to smear poop in favor of complete instant replay.

I feel horrible for Gallaraga, but that doesn't mean this is a time for IR. I believe some type of quality control on Umpires, reviewing a sample of games and rating the ump on blown calls vs correct calls while taking into account correct positioning and the closeness of the play, would be more beneficial.

What'chu talking 'bout!

Dontrelle Over Wellemeyer? Now, that Dontrelle has been DFA'd would you take him over Wellemeyer? And would you trade for him before he was released or wait to see if he is released? As SF or Oakland are probably pretty high on his list as it is. I would take

Every once in awhile I hear Mike and Mike in the morning, usually in morning after I was listening to ESPN radio in the car. This morning they were talking about the Superbowl and one of them said something so stupid, I couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, I like having it in NYC it goes back to the old days. I actually thing they should have it in Lambo Field on the 50th anniversary, or some other STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT NUMBER. "
