As far as I can tell, Holly's teams are pretty much a clone of Pat's. Good defense, tough rebounding, terrible offense. Pat's teams won when she had a Parker or Holdsclaw to carry the offense, but without a player like that we could never do much on offense. The uncomfortable truth (IMO) is that things probably wouldn't have been that much different if Pat hadn't had any problems and was still the coach. Holly's coaching the same way Pat did. And other than Candace Parker, this is the way it's been for almost 20 years.

I by no means claim to be a women's Bball expert but, from what little I have heard, we might have a couple next year.

How many teams and what's the scoring

10 teams and standard yahoo scoring. He also said that he would entertain the idea of him getting Kolton Wong for McHugh from the Astros. Middle infield is Mookie, Jace, Wong, and Rollins

I've been taking Intro to behavioral Human Genetics for 3 weeks now online and this stuff is incredibly interesting. Basically the entire class is Nature vs Nurture but 10 weeks worth of it

I try to keep as current as an amateur can be with what's going on in that area, because it's about the most interesting topic there is. What I think is the conventional wisdom right now is: 1) it's way more nature than nurture, 2) parents are much less important than we'd all like to believe, and 3) what we think of as our personalities is mostly just chemistry. That what you're reading in this class too?

I hate leagues that do -1 for errors.

Just made this fantasy trade... (dynasty league, but not huge rosters. H2H cats including OBP, OPS, RC, QS)

Give:
George Springer
Xander Bogaerts
Kyle Hendricks
Carlos Martinez

Get:
Josh Donaldson
Carlos Correa
Michael Wacha
Carlos Rodon

Gordon's spot in that lineup and his speed will probably lead to a lot of runs scored. Helpful if you need help at 2B or an extra IF spot.

Craig obviously far better than Storen, plus you like Craig.

Basically what they're teaching. It's from a professor at the University of Minnesota, and right now we're comparing monozygotic twins, dizigotic twins, and kids raised in foster homes. All of these studies show that monozygotic twins are clearly most similar in IQ, personality, Psychological illness, etc. I also found it interesting that studies show that environmental factors that are externally imposed (I.e. Family has money problems, have you been mugged, etc.) do not lead to more similar traits in monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins. However, environmental factors that reflect to some degree our pen behavior (I.e. Whether or not we do good in school, whether or not we have relationship issues, problems at work, etc.), there is a greater similarity in monozygotic twins rather than dizygotic twins. What basically he is saying is the environments we experience, we form those environments due in part due to our genetic constitution. There are genetic factors within us that creates our environment, and therefore genetics carries much more weight. Also, twins separated at birth in general have much more in common than foster kids raised in the same environment, although that environment does influence things like IQ and personality to an extent.

TLDR
