The 2015 RIBC summary page is up. This will be updated each morning. It is also linked from the RIBC icon on the RotoGuru blurb page.

Split standings capability is not yet working. I should have that ready in the next 24 hours.

1st day of the season and I already lose my 1st closer. why do the Padres wait this long to trade for Kimbrel? they already had a great bullpen before the trade.

Meanwhile, I racked up a win and three saves on the first day just from my relievers! And another win from a starter. And no earned runs in 11 IP.

Wish my hitters were as productive.

My batters were 3 for 38 yesterday for a .078 average.

Ew.

Wasn't this a one day season thing? It's over right?

Split stats by date should now be working.

For counting stats, this compares the total stats as of the beginning and end date. So if any stat corrections were made during the period, they will be included.

For ratios, the split stats are approximate. For longer periods, they should be pretty close. For short periods (like a single day), rounding issues may cause minor discrepancies.

If anyone is looking to swap mostly uninteresting pieces, I'd be willing to sell low on Shin-Soo Choo and Mike Fiers, sell high on Dan Haren, and sell just right on Josh Reddick or Alejandro de Aza.

Interested in pitching or a middle infielder, or someone you are equally indifferent to holding.

Jeez. Batting wasn't the "health concern" I had with Wainwright. So much for 200 innings and a bunch of wins from my #1 starter.

I must say, I'm stunned by my 2nd place standing at the quarter pole. For much of the past 3 weeks, I've had more guys on the DL than I have bench slots. Puig (1st round pick) has been missing most of the season (even when playing), Lucroy (5th round) has been out for awhile, VMart and Moss (rnds 6/7) have underperformed, and Kenley Janssen (8) has just come off the DL.

Players drafted in rounds 15, 16, and 18 have already been jettisoned (Gennett, Gausman, J. Peralta)

I was the last manager to draft a starter (rnd 9), and for much of the season, I've had only 8 healthy pitchers. Yet I rank #1 in ERA, #2 in wins, #3 in saves, and #5 in WHIP. My only lagging stat for pitching is Ks, and eventually I hope to get my team healthy enough to get my inning count up to a level where I can compete there.

Bargains have been J. Upton (drafted rnd 4, currently ranked #13 on ESPN player rater), Keuchel (rnd 13, #20), Shelby Miller (rnd 20, #33), Cozart (F/A, #63), Gregerson (rnd 12, #85), Span (rnd 17, #110), T. Hunter (rnd 19, #115).

Having said that, Pablo's Peapods are kicking butt - threatening to completely run away and hide, and the spread between teams ranked #2-#7 is very tight, so I could easily drop to 7th by tommorrow.

I've been hovering at 14/15 all year, thank goodness for Guru's split stats so I can at least look at my teams performance after April 30 and at least feel some level of respectibility. I'm trending right, just a huge April hole to climb out of.

I'm surprised I'm leading by as much as I am. Like Guru, I also waited to choose a starter. My first two SP selections have been on the DL all season, Iwakuma had 3 starts and Ryu hasn't pitched yet!

I seemed to have hit on all of my relievers (currently own the 1st, 3rd, and 7th best and picked up newly anointed closer AJ Ramos). Nine of my position players are currently in the top 10 at their position. 3 of the top 10 OFs are playing for Pablo Peapods.

I've had an incredibly lucky start but lets be real. Baseball is a LONG season.

3 singles and 1 walk in 36 AB so far tonight. It's already been a bad week but damn! It's amazing that so many hitters can go into a slump at the same time. Brutal season so far.

I shouldn't have looked this up but in 134 ab this week my team has 23 singles and 2 doubles. That's a .201 slugging %. A team full of pitchers could hit better than that!

There's always some oddities at this point in the season... How can I have 14 points in runs and rbi but only 2 and 3 in obp and slug! Its just not how the game is supposed to work...

On another note - looking to move one of Gattis, Gomes or Moustakas. Message if interested. I'm not being a lazy trader (ie: shouting anyone want this guy - you do all the work tho)....also exploring options myself.

I hereby grant public permission to the following players to actually hit the ball, preferably over the outfield wall, but beggars can't be choosers so I'll take any old base hit at this point:
Joey Votto
Troy Tulowitzki
Chris Davis
Billy Hamilton

Feel free to take a walk every once in a blue moon, too, fellas.

Graydog: If you have a trade offer, there should be a small line titled "Pending Moves" on your My Team page. Click this line and you can review the trade offer.

Inciarte or Galvis available for anyone looking for speed. Should have time to send out some offers this weekend but if anyone wants to get the jump, send an offer. SP depth is the need right now.

Oops! I dropped the wrong player. I meant to drop brandon Barnes for david murphy. I had yan gomes in the slot beside barnes and dropped him by mistake.

Guru is it possible to make this switch for me? Or am I SOL.

[19] I made the adjustment.

You're lucky, however. This is not a reliable way to reach me on matters of urgency. It's lucky that I just happened to check in today. Next time, send an email.

Well, I climbed into first place for a few minutes last night, before retreating back to second. Still amazed to have done this well - especially in hitting - with my first round pick, Puig, playing only 11 games, and with VMart (rnd 6) missing a month, and producing OBP/SLG of only .308/.270 when he was playing. Lucroy (rnd 5) also missed a month and a half. So 3 of my top 5 drafted hitters have missed a lot of time. For most season, I've had at least 3 (and often more) players on the DL.

Lucroy came back this past week, and the other two are expected to be activated next week. Good omen, or time for another calamity?

I'm interested in some offensive help, preferably at OF or 3B. I have saves (Familia) to offer.

Really hoping I didn't peak early.

Comfortable with my team, more interested in not jinxing anything really, but if a bullpen improvement offer came my way, I might bite. Varying levels of starting pitching could be moved.

Lazy way out, but might get the ball rolling. As I mentioned, I'm fairly comfortable with not doing anything drastic while things are going my way, but always a little antsy if anyone's out there and looking to make a splash.

Looking to add some Runs and SB to my club, preferably an OF. Would be willing to part with a closer (Robertson or Ramos) and/or Nelson Cruz if you are looking for power/RBI.

Shopping Giles and Vizcaino. Saves are looking like a tight race as usual, let me know if you are in need. I am mostly looking for batting percentage stats but I'm open to anything that may give me a point or two.

Another seller of saves: I've got Cody Allen and Zeigler as well as some drivel Like Wilson/Rondon and Tazawa I'd throw in.

Willing to add Reddick, Choo, or Sano to the deal also, if the return is right.

Looking for starting pitching or steals.

Putting it out there again - I'm looking for starting pitching. Outside of Votto and Chris Davis, anyone else is up for grabs if the deal is right (Tulowitzki, JD Martinez, Sano, Rusney Castillo, Brad Miller, Choo, Utley, Billy Hamilton, ....).

Less inclined to move a reliever, but I could be convinced.

I've put a couple offers out, and a couple of inquiries. I'm not desperate, but would happily make a deal if it made sense.

What a shame that Cespedes is tearing it up for me and having no great effect on my league standing. Good luck to all those managers battling for position in these last few remaining weeks.

I felt like my team needed some more leadership so it won't collapse. I wanted to have Jeter on my roster for one more year.

Way to go Pablo! I got to sit on throne for a brief moment but you held the pretty comfy lead end to end this year, well done. Fun year everybody, I had to scratch and claw just to prevent freefall.
