[Coach Deg]

Count me in.

[elderboy02]

I am in :tu

Can we do something like last year where we send a 5'er to the troops, and then at the end of the year, everyone send a 5'er to someone based on how they finish?

[jledou]

I need an excuse to get back to watching basaball so I'm in if you guys will have me.

I would be in for a random fiver based on ranking Dan.

[hotreds]

OK, Danny boy. Hey- do you hear the pipes a-callin'?

[GreekGodX]

traditional snake draft or auction draft?

[hotreds]

What is the transaction limit for a manager? I typically make many pick-ups and drops every week because I enjoy using one week wonders. Some leagues are limited to like 20 total transactions for example, I love unlimited. What are you doing here if you don't mind me asking and when do we need to send our sticks?

[hotreds]

No max transactions or trades. No worries about sending the sticks. Since I send stuff out every monmth, sooner or later works fine!

[Blak Smyth]

I...AM....IN.... Thanks Hugh!

PM me your addy and I will try to get my 5r out next week.

[hotreds]

Thanks- let's see if we get enough folks to even make this a "go!"

Signed in this morning .... getting caught up on all my fantasy sports.

[Hem]

I'll be in on this if it's a go! I'll sign up when I get on the home comp.

[awsmith4]

Count me in and I'll add another 5er for the winning pot :tu

[hotreds]

Let's see if we can't get a couple more to make it 8 like the old time Leagues!

[hotreds]

2 more!

[hotreds]

C'mon- can't we get two more brave souls?!

[hotreds]

Need one more to make it an 8 team league- very shallow, teams should be chock full of stars!

[criracer]

I'll play, If you are still looking for players.

[hotreds]

yes!

[criracer]

I signed up.

I have a couple questions. Are we sending in a fiver for the troops, and sending in a fiver for the winners? I don't care either way, I just wasn't sure by reading the previous posts. Also can you PM me the address info where to send my sticks in.

Thanks,
Jason

[jonumberone]

Count me in!
I'll get signed up first thing in the am!

[elderboy02]

Is there any way to move back the time of the draft to a little bit later? I have cigar night on Thursday.

[hotreds]

What does everyone say to that?

[Blak Smyth]

What does everyone say to that?

Shouldnt be a big deal for me.

[elderboy02]

If anyone has a problem, I don't mind keeping the same time. I am fine with autodrafting. I will just rank my players.

[Blak Smyth]

Hugh, doesn't the season start Wednesday?
Looks like Seattle and Oakland play Wednesday and Thursday.

Seems kind of wierd drafting after a couple games have already been played.

[jledou]

Interesting ... I have no clue why they would start the Oak/Sea series while the rest are in "spring training" still ... I am OK with later on Thursday night.

[hotreds]

OK, we'll move to 8:30pm Thursday.

[hotreds]

Added holds, dropped fielding% to even up hitting/pitching categories.

[elderboy02]

Thanks for the time change! :)

[Blak Smyth]

Draft tonight at 8:30 Est, right?

[hotreds]

yes

[shilala]

Hugh, if you need another body, I'll take a spot.

[hotreds]

Thanks- we got 14! Full!

[elderboy02]

Lets go boys!

[jledou]

Race to the bottom ... I WIN!

[elderboy02]

Wow, I had to leave the draft and Yahoo did a horrible job. Drafting me a catcher on the DL and Vlad Guerrero?

[awsmith4]

Despite me showing up at round 24 I am fairly pleased with my draft. Mark my words, 90 Feet From Home will be the overall winner unless some less does better...

Hahah. I saw you show up, didn't know it was you though because of your team name.

Well I only drafted 3 players who are not starting the season or are out for the season. :r Maybe Yahoo would have done better for me.
But I did get my boy Kemp though, I would have drafted him even if i had the #1 pick!!!

[elderboy02]

Can everyone please change their team name to their username on here? I have no idea who most people are.

[Blak Smyth]

Ahaah, it is funny to see who you guys are after sharing a few hours of our lives together last night :D

[Coach Deg]

I am Coach Deg. My 13yr old is Coach Deg and Max. He is running his team but I put my username incase anyone wants to get ahold of him.

Was wondering why you had two teams, thanks for clearing that up.

Kemp hit his 10th home run in the Dodgers' 19th game, making him the fastest in franchise history to reach 10 home runs, two games faster than Roy Campanella for the 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers.

[jledou]

I am starting my quick march to the bottom ... left, left, left - right - left :)

[Blak Smyth]

Wow Guerra lost his closing job for the Dodgers and I happen to have Jansen on my team already, amazing. This calls for a celebratory smoke! Funny how I started the season without a closer and soon I may have 4, pure luck right there.

Matt Kemp slows down a little bit and I drop down to 5th place, this is a very competitive style of play. I still do not exactly understand how roto works.

[hotreds]

It's quite different than the head to head I"m used to. First time doing roto.

[Blak Smyth]

Yah I prefer head to head, it feels like you are winning or losing, roto feels like you never know how you are doing. I was in first a couple days ago and in 5th now I think. Anybody can jump up or down on the ranks everyday.
And it is harder to determine your teams weakness I think too. It is still fun though, thanks for running the league Hugh!

[Blak Smyth]

I am looking for a good MI, willing to trade Josh Willingham (OF) and Santiago Casilla (RP/CL) 2 for 1 deal. Let me know, thanks fellas!

[elderboy02]

I don't understand Roto at all. I prefer head to head so that you know what the heck is going on. Oh well.... it is still fun.

[Blak Smyth]

I have a closer available for trade if anybody is interested!

[jledou]

I've got Beckett for you Shane ;)

[Blak Smyth]

I've got Beckett for you Shane ;)

Hahah, no thanks :tu

[jledou]

I may not have been sitting on the very bottom but I am helping to bring up the rear as I expected.

It was definitely fun getting back into playing again this year.

I know we talked about playing for a fiver depending on how we finished if someone wants to sort that out just let me know who I need to send mine to.
