Josh Hamilton’s allergies not linked to drug use, doctors say
(www.latimes.com)
Otolaryngology has another O-4 in it.
Read More...Josh Hamilton said he was assured by doctors this week that the allergies that lead to occasional sinus and throat discomfort and dizziness were not caused or exacerbated by his heavy cocaine use from 2002-2005.
“You have a hallway up the middle of your nose and sinus cavities on each side,” said Hamilton, whose addiction to drugs and alcohol led to a ban from baseball from 2003-2005. “When you breathe air, it goes up and down the hallway.
“Same thing ...

Or is it going to remain on DMB9 only? Our league has always used DMB9 so I don't care, just want to know. Thanks.
Free Buddy..err Jordan!
All his comps seem to be players who had one good year out of the blue but cratered, while Downs has a longer and better track record. Then again, he's getting up there in years and his K's dropped to a career low as a reliever, so maybe he'll fall, too.
Lots of other depressingly bad lines: Wells, Branyan, Kazmir, so I'll focus on the players I liked showing up in comps: Matt LeCroy, Tony Fernandez, and who could forget the famous Hall of Fame batterymates on the New York Giants, Ethanol Subsidies and Rebecca Black.
Like the last team projected (White Sox), it's very interesting to see what route the White Sox take this winter.
they realize that no matter how much they pay well, he's still a 4th-outfielder
Ethanol Subsidies
Just to let you know it was noticed and appreciated.

Who are three players with nothing in common. :-)
Despite ZiPS' favoritest young prospect, Mike Trout
Based on comps, ZiPS likes Castro more. :-)
Castro (Starlin, I assume?) isn't a prospect anymore.
But this Trout projection gives me some hope for Anthony Rizzo's after his rough stint in the bigs, considering his monster AAA numbers.
I'm not sure the question - DMB released it in both v9 and v10 formats. I know their eventual goal is to have the base converted to 10 and release it for 10 only. I was pretty insistent last year about it being released in 9 as I know of a lot of sim leagues that were still mainly using 9, though I imagine that won't be supported forever.
Is Reggie Willits equivalent to Willow Smith, then?
Mike Napoli: hit .320 for the Rangers this year after .238 in his last year in LA.
Kendrys Morales: .306. Hasn't played since that walkoff granny he hit early in 2010 where he fractured his ankle celebrating.
Howie Kendrick: .291, hit .285 last year with 4.3 WAR.
Erick Aybar: .312, but rebounded after a subpar 2010 back to 4.7 WAR.
Chone Figgins: .298, notoriously cratered in Seattle.
Juan Rivera: .287, played indifferently for the Dodgers in part time play.
Torii Hunter: .299, dropped to .252 this past year.
Bobby Abreu: .293, should retire now after slugging .365 in '11.
Vlad Guerrero: .295. In Baltimore now: see Abreu.
I count 3 2009 regulars who contributed positively to this past year's team (and Hunter is borderline). Sad in a way.
Well, tied with a 38 year old. Which, still...
Thanks!
