Besides Jose Canseco-related searches, which account for like 90% of this blog’s traffic, a lot of viewers show up from girlfriend related searches, particularly “laurence maroney girlfriend” and “lawrence maroney girlfriend”. Given that I’ve only written one post using the word girlfriend, which was our first post, back in September, I find this a little weird.

I started to Google “Dan Uggla,” and you know how there are suggestions about what keywords to add after “Dan Uggla?”

Well, the first suggestion, before “Dan Uggla contract” “Dan Uggla arbitration” “Dan Uggla yahoo,” and even “Dan Uggla stats” was “Dan Uggla wife.” Of course, I checked it out, and there’s a webpage dedicated to whether or not he has a girlfriend: http://www.talk-sports.net/mlb/girlfriend.aspx/Dan_Uggla

My favorite comment: “dan uggla is hot. he goes to my church. he said hi to me, it was special. “

Congrats on the victory. I’m in for next year if you have a slot. Unfortunately no more FIO as you may have noticed.

Hurricane’s having trouble posting comments from Japan, but here are his thoughts:

“we prob do not want him — two starts against the woeful chisox and seattle do not tell me much…but i may want him based on some matchups”

It got me thinking, it be useful to keep track of opponent-independent fantasy stats, where you factor out the opposing team/pitchers, ballpark effects, etc.

Comment on “Streaming Catchers” viable? by Ben

Pablo Sandoval and Brandon Inge are other catcher options that play a lot of games, mostly at other positions. Streaming catchers is doable but difficult. If you figure out when your starter’s day off is, or just wait for when they’re not playing, you can pick up another catcher, possibly using a spot that you normally stream pitchers with. Part of the problem, though, is that the catchers available on the wire aren’t particularly good, and adding their stats for a couple dozen games won’t help all that much.
