ChicagoWhiteSUX6outoflast9 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 ESPN has rated Juan Pierre no. 6 out of all possible outfielders. Is this MLB or Tee Ball? Are these guys serious about this list or do they they just get together to make these drunken blunders at the local ESPNzone bar? Is this 6th best outfielder or the 6th worse. maybe it's just a typo. I think Buster Olney might have a drug problem. Now I understand why they call it fantasy baseball. No offense but there is no way Juan Pierre is better than Matt Holliday/Ichiro Suzuki or has more fantasy value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Fantasy baseball has a very loose connection to the actual game. Lots of singles, runs and stolen bases hold a bit more value in the fantasy game. You definitely need to separate the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm reading this right Biebs should be ranked 6th among all outfielders not Juan Pierre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 WhiteSux if you want to stick around, you should try less to get a rise out of Sox fans and try and discuss the game a little bit more.

No offense but there is no way Juan Pierre is better than Matt Holliday/Ichiro Suzuki or has more fantasy value. Depending on the type of league Juan has a lot of "fantasy value" specifically for stolen bases. A standard 5x5 roto league uses the SB as one of the five offensive categories that you look to win. Since most fantasy scoring systems are variations from the original rotisserie system, stolen bases hold high value in most fantasy formats, clearly increasing Juan's value.

I forgot he had all of those SB's last year. but I thought someone with a better average ,HR's and RBI would have a higher ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Is this right? The White Sox have won more playoff games than the Twins over the past 3 years? And the White Sox have more World Series titles in the past 10 years? But I thought the Twins were one of the top teams in the league!

You guys do realize we've been in the playoffs 6 out of the last 9 years. while you have been watching pre-season bears games at hooters sports bar. Alright I'll give you guys the 2005 season but at that time the baseball world was still in shock by the red sox winning the 2004 series. You guys really pulled a fast one on us.

Please don't say "us" when talking about the Twins. You do not represent them. I'm sure most Twins fans would be as just as annoyed by your tenure here as Sox fans would be if one of us were to visit TwinsTalk.com and act like an idiot over there.

The last time the Twins won a playoff game, George W Bush was President...and he would be re-elected less than a month later. I had just started my junior year in high school. Barry Bonds had 703 home runs. Jeromy Burnitz finished 8th in the NL in home runs. Should I keep going on? It could be pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
