Hi Greg,



The March 10th Auction has been loaded, but Team Van Scoy (not my team) drafted Eric Byrnes, not Timo Perez.



Thanks.

I am in the Satellite Auction leagues as well and do not have rosters loaded, either. I think I recall Tom saying the data transfer (CBS/Sportsline to STATS) may not be possible and that he would contact Sportsline. Is there an update on this?



Thanks.

Fuentes has been one of the healthiest relievers in baseball since 2005, but he did miss 65 games with a lower back strain in 2004. He was terrible when he eventually returned from the DL as well. If he misses time--I am not particularly worried at this point, but you never know--I question whether ...

I agree about CBS and would be down for another $250 league, perhaps in the 3/24 to 3/28 range when no drafts (that I know of) are currently scheduled. It does take six hours, making it a pain to moderate, but at least with no draft software problems, that time can mostly be spent watching TV or sur...

I don't want to predict anything for the 11th just yet. The satellite demand has been so strong that once we start pushing the open leagues I think many (if not all) of them will fill up. But if you want to switch you can definitely do that. Just register for the league you want online and you'll be...

Hey Greg or Tom, I'm registered for the $250 satellite on March 11th, but I'm the only one right now. I'm already signed up for the only date after March 11th that works for me (3/25), so what happens if the March 11th satellite doesn't fill up? I can make the $125 pay top 3 league on March 8th, but...

Couple questions regarding Ryan Braun (MIL). First, why does his OWN% show 0%? Heck, even if I'm the only owner rostering him, it should be a couple percent (and I'd be surprised if I were the only one rostering him, though he isn't on the NFBC ADP list). Second, Ryan Braun #2, the KC relief pitcher...

A little early to jump off the Juan Salas bandwagon, I think. There isn't an arm available in trade with his stuff. He threw 48.1 scoreless innings between AA and AAA to start last season. Who does that? Also, Dear Maddon: No matter how much man-love you have for Salas, how on earth do you bring him...

I'm curious as to why Dustin Hermanson isn't available for bidding in satellite leagues at this point. He's currently on the Reds Major League roster...

Butler was originally drafted by the Royals as a 3B, but I agree he should be listed as an OF (or an OF/3B). For some reason, though, he isn't eligible to be bid upon in my leagues anymore. As far as I know, he is still with the Major League team.

Seems like this largely comes down to how one values and tiers his/her players. In the first three rounds, I want to draft from the bottom of my tiers without sacrificing talent in the process. I felt #3 offered the best opportunity to accomplish that, and #7 was my next preference. Reyes falls at t...

Props on the Bill Bray pick. Talk about flying under the radar. I think you have most of Cincinnati's saves cornered with him and Coffey. I don't like the Harden pick--I'd feel more comfortable if so many of the maladies weren't usage-related (i.e. strains, sprains). You say you have Todd Jones' han...
