Quote of the day
"18 total bases. That's never happened in the history of the American League. ... When you combine ... 240 pounds with those quick hands, that's how you end up with four homers and a double in one major league game. Unbelievable. -- ESPN analyst Tim Kurkjian, after Josh Hamilton’s monster game in BaltimoreDaily blurb
The first rule of daily contests: if someone has a game like Josh Hamilton just did, you’d better have him on your roster. Of course, Hamilton’s high salary means you have to find some bargains to be able to fit him in under the overall cap. And if you have Hamilton and he stinks it up for that game, you’re probably toast.
As promised, I have set up a special version of the sortable stats which incorporates player salaries for Friday’s DraftStreet Freeroll. Since everyone who enters this freeroll will be a user of RotoGuru or DailyBaseballData.com, you can expect that almost all entrants will have taken a look at this useful source of data. As of this morning, we’re closing in on 100 entrants, so while we’ll certainly have a critical mass, we won’t be overwhelmed with a ridiculous number of entrants, as is sometimes true of open freerolls.
