"Talent evaluator No. 2: 'I like Leonys Martin and he was undoubtedly one of Cuba's top young players, but, as with a lot of good Cuban players, I'm not convinced his skill set will translate into him becoming a premium Major League player. The best way I can describe Martin is that his reputation seems to exceed the sum of his parts. Martin has plus speed and a good arm but no other premium skills or tools, so the rumored $15M seems aggressive.'"
"With the likelihood that Murphy will get the bulk of the playing time in the absence of Hamilton, what aspects of Hamilton's performance will the Rangers miss most? One is performance versus lefties. Hamilton has been really good throughout his career vs. right-handed pitching, and Murphy is no slouch, with a .490 career slugging percentage them. But Murphy doesn't have a great history against lefties. He had 1 homer in 114 at bats against lefties last season. Hamilton had 8 in 166."
"As for outfielders available in more than half of ESPN's standard leagues, if you're looking for power there's Josh Willingham, Jonny Gomes, Seth Smith, Tyler Colvin, Marlon Byrd and Pat Burrell. If speed is your thing, there's Dexter Fowler, Carlos Gomez, Cameron Maybin, Michael Brantley and recent folk hero Sam Fuld. Personally, I'd just go with Murphy, owned in 5.1 percent of leagues."

Im with you that I dont think you should be able to challenge balls and strikes......but.....what about 3-2 bases loaded pitches? Kind of different than normal balls and strikes right?Originally Posted by bbllplaya23
I know baseball is a slow sport but I'm fine with taking an extra minute to get the right call. But there has to be limits to this expanded reply. Obviously no balls and strikes, and there has to be a limit to how many you get, just like the NFL.

Goodnight.
I feel what your saying. It's just so hard to limit this expanded replay because they're are so many different situations. Do you guys think that each team should be given 2 challenges? But what would you lose if you lose the challenge?Originally Posted by dland24
