Injuries and lineup changes don't just happen after March 16th. Look how many closers started the year on Opening Day and were not closing at end of year. Two-thirds of them were out of jobs by the end of the season. Wily Tavares got pulled from his job last year during the season. Dan Johnson hit h...

I got a chance to look at all the rosters today...if Team DiMondo has Griffey and Edmonds healthy, we are really going to be strong...we have major balance...we just must stay healthy...

The weather is holding off this morning so I am making plans to get into the city for the event. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and I'll be able to get out of the city. It's crappy but we'll all make do.

Guys,



Is there any chance of the Friday auctions getting postponed and moved to Saturday? I am making plans to get there though the weather Friday will be very bad.



Thanks!

How I am posting this on March 16th is beyond belief. However, the national weather service has a Winter Storm Warning for Friday as a 'Noreaster' is going to drop 4-6 inches in NYC and more snow north and west.



Any thoughts what we do if the weather makes it impossible to travel??

looks like we will reacting and not acting...

I got Anabail Sanchez and Salomon Torres with FAAB money during the 2nd half of the year. The wins, saves, ERA, etc. were very valuable.

I like #13. It gives me a chance to see who gets called out and watch those prices skyrocket!!!!!

I plan on being in NYC early on Friday before I do my 4PM mixed league auction at the Javitz center. Are the college basketball games on inside the Javitz center to watch? (or is there a bar close by to go watch the games in?)

A little over a week to go...this cold weather will soon be gone and the draft and real baseball games will be here...

How is parking at the Javitz center? I am wondering if I should take the train into Grand Central or drive in from Connecticut. Anyone have information on parking, fees, traffic on West Side, etc.?

I did better than I thought UFS considering I am a mixed league guy. The team looks good!

Sounds like this draft was crazy...I am sure I'm way off but I'll take a shot at it... 1b-Konerko 28 3b-Crede 16 ci-Kotchman 4 2b-Polanco 8 mi-Olmedo 1 ss-O.Cabrera 13 of-Sizemore 36 of-Del.Young 16 of-G.Matthews 20 of-Gathright 3 of-Nixon 6 dh-Thome 26 c-Buck 1 c-Mathis 1 P-K.Igawa 15 P-Jer.Weaver ...

Sounds like it will be a lot of fun. It looks like some experienced, well-prepared owners. I am glad because waiting forever for an owner to call out a player or watching an owner call out 3 players who already got called out is a major draft 'buzz kill'. I am sure it will be a smooth running auctio...

I heard NBC Sports purchased allstarstats so I think that is where they stand now.

Excellent point Gordon...I was lazy on this one...let me do a better job on the bio... Mark DiMondo I'm 36 and born in New Rochelle.

I agree spyhunter. I have been doing auctions for 15+ years and these types of drafts are much more difficult than straight snake drafts.

Does anyone know the payout amounts and how many places get paid out in the league? I know we have 15 guys for $1,250 for $18,750 without expenses of stats and stuff...thanks!
