Quote of the day
"The gap, it wasn't huge, but it was big enough, you know, for a ball to fit through." -- Phil Mickelson on his miraculous 200-yard six iron to the 13th green from the pine trees in the 2010 Masters Daily blurb
The Masters toon-a-ment tees off at 8am ET tomorrow morning. For GuruGolf, this tournament often presents a financial challenge, as roster values haven’t had much time to appreciate. But this year, if you are cash poor and trade rich, you have a new option. You can sell trades to raise cash, at the rate of $50 per trade sold. So far, 22 trades have been sold this week, and many foursomes still remain to be assembled. This may not be the optimum strategy for you, but you should at least consider the possibility. Switching to baseball, I took a quick look at the early results for the top ten pitchers drafted in the RIBC leagues. As a group, they have 9 wins in 20 starts, with a 4.13 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Not exactly the stuff of aces, but not hideous. However, it’s not quite that simple. Five of those pitchers (Verlander, Kershaw, Hernandez, Lee, and Darvish) have 8 of those wins, with an aggregate ERA of 1.40 and a WHIP of 0.75. That’s more like it. Which means that the other five (Strasburg, Price, Hamels, Weaver, and Cain) have only one win, with a collective ERA of 7.24 and WHIP of 1.61. Wow. If you drafted pitching early, I hope you got on the right side of that dichotomy. |

Sounds like my entire SP RIBC pitching experiment you speak of. And add Motte to the equation it has been a disaster.
