thanks greg. See you Thursday.

Are these also the draft orders? Or just the league member list?

Whats Up Everyone- Ill be right next to you Kevin. Picking #11 ain't too bad. Plus being at Shea (Citi) without having to watch Steve Trachsel or Tim Redding sure will be a treat. Good Luck everyone. See you in a few days. Also we'll be drafting Juan Samuel. Just so you guys are emotionally prepared...

Greg/Tom and the whole crew of thousands of employees(thousands right?)at the NFBC. You guys quite simply run the best show in the biz. We all owe you a little love. and a beer or two. Just keep me out of leagues with Childs/Jupinka/Lindy/Eric Price (the ultimate draft table mental tactician or anyo...

Seriously. Can we give Shawn Childs some sort of title belt (maybe Floyd Mayweather has an extra laying around). Truly the best pound for pound fantasy baseball player alive. I think there are quite a few de facto experts in these leagues who could compete in any league, and yet Shawn dominates ever...

Simply Amazing.



I think you have accomplished what all of us barely can imagine in March.



Super well done Champ.



Best,

Lopi

I just want him to be "gangsta" whether he's in the in the 1 hole or anywhere else.

Will someone ask Barry Bonds what he thinks about this? To think that the 2 of the greats of a generation might not just be cheaters, liars, and malicious in their intentions, but also allegedly criminal (to some degree) is just so disenchanting. In some ways it must suck to be an 11 year old these ...

I love the competition. I'm in the ultimate auction and it is so f'ing challenging. I find it really awesome to compete against essentially the best fantasy baseball players in the world. It's not so much an experts' league as it is a professionals' league. I'm in 4th currently, but need SP to reall...

I often find the PQS ratings are more helpful when referencing downside boundaries. Mainly looking at DIS % as a way to gauge risk and reliability. It seems to correspond to traditional fantasy scoring success slightly better than trying to project PQS DOM starts. By avoiding active DIS starts more ...

A lot of action on Jayson Werth last night. Is he any good? Can he potentially steal abs from Victorino even after Victo comes back? What can he do for 3 weeks? Any opinions? I think he can get it done. call it 75 abs this month and I think he can do 3hr-20r-12rbi-4sb in a month. which makes him a n...

I feel like we should consider Zambrano's overuse in a per game overuse basis. In an attempt to figure out how many times Cubs' managers left in Big Z one batter too many (Aaron Harang owners should feel this pain) I found an interesting stat. Big Z's hr rate increases considerably (40%) between pit...

Stupid Victor Zambrano. It still hurts every time I watch Kazmir pitch. Worst part is the Mets paid him so much $$ to sign and then cut bait. Steve Phillips and Jim Duquette need to get knuckle sandwiches every 10 minutes till they pass out and then every 5 minutes there after. :mad: At least Little...

This is great. To hear so many smart people with varied opinions on Zimm makes me feel better about my own cloudy projections about Ryan Z. I really appreciate the info on the actual injury as well it seems like a minor (less major?) hand issue. Just to chime in on the projections and the Blalock vs...

Hey folks- What do we think about Zimm's hamate surgery thing. Is this going to sap his power or do we think he is worth bidding full value on? There is an obvious difference between 18 hr and 28 hr, I can't decide which is more realistic. I love the guy but I am slightly nervous investing in him. A...

I agree with both Dave and Eddie. Insane that people had this guy as a top 20 SP. The last time he threw more than 190ip(in 04) he followed up that year 59ip in 05. Last year he threw 196ip and guess what? his arm is toasted this year. Not stunning. He has good stuff and is a good pitcher, but maybe...

I wish Freddy Sanchez read this board. Maybe Ambrosius can send him an invite. I think there are a few important "2nd opinions" about him here. lolol

Both Eddiejag and Quahogs maybe right with their points. No doubt both guys are talented young players that could become real perennial fantasy forces. And Granderson and Victo are ok also :D The point of how many LHP the Tigers see is particularly accurate. This is what I love about this stuff. We ...

Thats a good point about Lopes. I also felt last year that J Roll may have helped him in learning how to be more efficient on the basepaths. Clearly Lopes/J Roll have some spare wisdom when it comes to stealing bases. It is just hard to know what actually caused his jump in SBs. that 32% SBO rate fr...

4 sleeper saves sources. Harden (he would be great and maybe could stay healthy for like 2 months)it may take a trade. Andrew Brown OAK- Just has that kind of stuff. has made big strides with his control and is just overpowering when on. Former uber prospect. If Street goes down or gets traded 1 of ...

I'm going to throw out 2 more guys 1-Curtis Granderson. vs LHP last 2 years 06-.218 07-.160 ouch. Plus a BAbip # in the .350 range 2 years in a row (could regress) and he went from 8 sbs to 26. what if regresses back to 18? Just not a top 10 OF yet. Too many questions. 1 day soon but not yet. He sti...

I'm going to be in the minority (except for Eddie)here but I actually think your SP are functional especially if Kazmir pitches. I like Grienke, Maholm, E Santana, Arroyo so I think you can reap some value from those guys. I think you are vulnerable at RP which is sort of easier to solve in FAAB tha...

Hey Everyone- I wanted to say that we had a blast at the draft and look forward to competing in this league with all of you. Actually we didn't really have a blast at the draft mainly we sat there stressing with clammy hands, furrowed brows and hoped for some luck(in the form of strikeouts). Occasio...

Howdy Everyone- I just wanted to say that we had a blast at the draft and hope everyone else did as well. It was great to see the all of the familiar faces, put some faces to names, as well as meet some new faces. I hope we all have a competitive and fun league that produces a few teams in the hunt ...
