New Fantasy Baseball League

I don't know what cromulent means but bonne chance to all!

 

Neither do I but it was a funny word a long time ago.

 

Wait, so we don't start until April 8?

 

League settings are all screwy from the two games in Japan.

 

You did use it correctly. As for the pick itself, we shall see. I'm waiting to see how badly Jose Ramirez hurt himself within an hour of me taking him No. 2 overall.

 

What’s the worst sounding fantasy injury you’ve ever had?

I had a RP back in 97 or 98 have what was described as a crushed testicle, due to a liner that hit his cupless package.

Think he played for Seattle, but I’ve forgotten his name.

 

I could not be there since I had a family emergency. Not 100% happy with my team, but you never know.

 

Sorry to hear it. I hope things with the family are okay.

 

I'd heard of this one years ago, but I can't remember the player's name. Apparently it happened again last year when Jose Abreu needed emergency surgery due to testicular torsion.

Here is the Deadspin article with an explanation of the condition.

To more clearly answer this question, yes. I still don't get why Yahoo wouldn't allow us to start before that, but when I tried before the draft, that was the earliest start available to us with the March 24 draft.

 

The human brain is amazing. I’ve been trying to remember this name, and it gradually came to me. As I was posting that, I vaguely remembered his last name might end in “illo”.

Then as I was reading your response, I though Manzanillo?

And before I even googled, that was enough to have a few more neurons fire and pull out Josias as his first name.

Anyway, from his wiki:

In 1997, Manzanillo suffered a grisly injury while pitching for the Seattle Mariners. Not wearing a protective cup, he was struck in the groin by a line drive off the bat of Manny Ramírez which ruptured his testicles. Manzanillo managed to recover the baseball, throw out Jim Thome at home plate and jog off the field under his own power before undergoing emergency reconstructive surgery.[1][2]

 

Yahoo league I'm in we had the draft 3/17, other league that cbs had the draft 3/18.
