During his career, Schilling won both the Roberto Clemente award: “The Roberto Clemente Award is bestowed annually to the player who best represents the game of Baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.” As well as the Lou Gehrig Memorial award: “The Lou Gehrig Memorial Award is given annually to a Major League Baseball player who best exhibits the character and integrity of Lou Gehrig, both on the field and off it.”

Appears to be for players, not if they hurt someone’s feelings on the internet after retiring. Either way, I love those who vote for Clemens, not Schilling. Kinda telling on themselves when they won’t vote for scumbag Curt, but will vote for Roger, who had an affair with a 15 year-old when he was 28. Statutory rape- ok. Yikes.

He swore?!? On national TV, no less?!? Youre right, AB to the Pack! They don’t even care!

We already know the results 👀

Tough. Can see a number of possibilities here. I think I’d go Breida based on matchup and hope for the best.

I think I’d roll with the two Cowboys and Hardman. McLaurin and Hollywood may have QB/no passing issues. Really like Mecole this week, as he should get more looks/snaps with Watkins out.

I like James Robinson a lot this week. I’d roll with him.

Lamar @PHI Cam home v. DEN Will Lamar still be hobbled by the knee and be cautious again? Cam just back from COVID list. Cam is averaging more PPG, do I give him the nod this week? Or is Lamar a must-start? Thanks!

Agreed. I don’t think he’s Aquino. Aquino isn’t good. I was simply stating the reasoning wasn’t great. Arozarena has a chance to be a very solid bat. I’m guessing he’ll go somewhere around round 10, and could provide solid value.

“No way you hit .320 with 14 HRs in a month and it’s just a fluke.” -Aquino owners in 2019, probably

They were pretending they were elite pitching hitters. Trying to fit in.

Agreed! And both had a DH 😎

Yeah, there’s some upside there. But he’s a .245/33/7 guy per 162 ( a bump in SB w/TOR is possible), but in general I’d simply say he’s the same guy he was in June. And if he was an undrafted free agent in many leagues this past season, I have a hard time moving him into the 4th round.

Is this the first vast overreaction to the 60 game sample size?

This isn’t a push just in fantasy. Most people don’t want to watch the “best” of hitting pitchers hit .177 with a .500 OPS. Also allows me to enjoy great starting pitchers more because they’re not being pinch hit for in a tight game because they can’t hit.
