@treevaughn I just sent you the link to accept the team. You might need the desktop version. I already chose the 7 keepers from last year, but those were his best remaining players. But you can draft the rest. Its in 20 minutes and you have the first pick. Thanks! I really appreciate it!

@KingAZPro Treevaughn@yahoo.com

No one interested in joining my fantasy baseball league at the last minute?

@treevaughn Im not charging this year. What's your email address?

@KingAZPro I'd prefer to draft but I'll take the team. It's not a $$$ league?

@treevaughn The draft is about to start. Don't know if its too late to transfer a team over. I can try. Or would you be willing to take the team post draft? Its a 12 teams/7 keepers.

@KingAZPro I all interested

@letjesscook This is at the Arizona Center?

Great meal and service at cleaverman last night but still think it's wild that this was the hooters I used to walk over to a decade ago to watch games and eat wings lol

@chrislewisASU How are you? Do you play fantasy baseball? If so, would you be interested in taking over one of the openings in my league? It's a 12 team/7-keepers on Yahoo with no entry fee this year. Thanks!

I might have 1 remaining opening in my 12-team/7-Keeper Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league. I am not charging any entry fees. Please let me know if anyone is interested. The draft is at 6pm AZ time, so I must know ASAP. Thanks!

@JohnnyVenerable Was Malik Willis a guaranteed answer at QB? Absolutely not, and even perhaps the Dolphins dont have true complete faith in him.

The Dolphins securing Malik Willis and then trading away Waddle makes zero sense. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have three capable pass catchers with no answer at QB...

to quality for the WC 6th seed. Theyve overcome so much over the season, and I have absolute faith that will. I was very bullish about them before their season began when several naysayers claimed and debated with me otherwise. The next man up has done them well. They'll be fine

It's awfully difficult to gauge the Suns at the present time. The sum is all their equal parts, and they're still without two of the starters and the player who essentially willed them to play at a higher level. Lets hope they can continue to battle without Brooks and win enough

@shoewizard59 @dbacksprospectz Sims was already slowed by injury when the Dbacks drafted him and just hasnt progressed adequately enough. I am against how they tend to alternate an elite SP prospect between the rotation and BP, which seems to impede them. I do have faith in the RPs they added towards the TD.

@dbacksprospectz It's definitely related to pitcher development, and also poor evaluation of free agents and trade targets. Double whammy

Since 2017, *9th inning or later save opportunities* Diamondbacks rank 30th in Save% (81.5%) & ERA (4.38). MLB Avg 86% & 3.16 Payroll no excuse. Guardians, (2.33) Royals, (2.53) & Brewers (2.53) have 3 lowest ERA. Their save % are 89.3, 88.9, and 87.0 respectively

@RyanStadler79 @Suns @Vincemarotta @KellanOlson @DarthVoita Vujanic? Wow! I wonder how Lampe feels about that?

Was looking at Spotrac to see how the @Suns were sitting for next year. Thought it was funny it looks like we still control these guys rights. Who says no to Ron Ellis off the bench in 2026? @Vincemarotta @KellanOlson @DarthVoita

Again, Ossenfort must go BPA throughout the entire draft regardless of position except for TE.

@shoewizard59 That's rather unfortunate. It appears Barrosa will be their 4th OF (or in the 3rd if Carroll will be at DH) and Tawa and Vargas both in super utility roles. That is decent flexibility.

@KingAZPro Nope, just sent out to minor league camp today si.com/mlb/diamondbac…

The Diamondbacks have stormed back to tie this game against the Giants 7-7 in the top of the 7th after trailing 2-0 and 7-2. Jacob Amaya has a grand slam and an RBI single, Luken Baker hit a two-run shot.

Its awfully difficult for Ott to settle on a tighter rotation with two starters out, a few players still regaining proper rhythm during their absences, two rookies experiencing an uptick of meaningful minutes, and two recent additions. He should figure it out soon!

@HDawn20433 @CorlekCarmas A baker's dozen at least? Thanks......

@KingAZPro @CorlekCarmas You got the baseball IQ of a donut

I’m sorry 91?!?!?!

@BenGarciaShow @BrendonKleen14 Don't draft a QB until next year. However, I dont want them to reach for an OL at #3 either. They must finally draft someone under Ossenfort who makes an immediate and sustained impact and at a game-changing level! BPA at #3 or just trade back. No need to reach for need anywhere

@BrendonKleen14 The right side of the offensive line is projected to be one of the worst in the NFL. It somehow got worse this offseason.

Am I crazy or do the Cardinals not have anywhere near the level of OL to bring in a QB project like Simpson (even if they could trade down)?

I choose to root and support the Cards every year, being such a glutton of punishment. But always with some hope that something might finally change. I know Im a fool to still maintain that belief, perhaps very idiotic, but this is my team regardless. Always about the team!

I was more optimistic about the Suns entering the season than most were. I feel with the Cards that Im just trying to trust whatever process or plan they may have in place or even if they indeed have a semblance of one? With Bidwill, I highly doubt that, but again? Conflicting!

@CorlekCarmas Agreed. Lets just hope he doesnt rush himself back and can return to his 2024 form.

@KingAZPro 91 is usually what he throws in his bullpens he said. That velo will go up more and more until he comes back
