Greg - You, Tom and crew are what makes this the BEST contest out there.



You got my vote and a Corona already ordered for Vegas in 2012!

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: First, yes to the 75 seconds. Second, eventually 60 seconds should be another adjustment as early as next year. Third, I favor a system where everybody has their own minutes. For instance, 60 seconds per pick would average out to 30 minutes for a 30 player draft. A co...

Main Event - 13th overall (26 total leagues). Good for 2nd place in my league.... Thanks Hanley

Originally posted by crazytown:

Are they moving in the fences at the other locations that are more difficult to hit home runs? If every team does this because they are the worst for home run percentage... eventually we will be watching softball games!

I assume Number 2 has 0 teams since most people selected the wonderful Hanley Ramirez. I selected 3rd thinking I would get Tulo. But the #2 team grabbed Tulo. So I was happy to get Hanley at 3. Well, that worked out great! Stinkin bum But since my pitching has been SICK this year (top era and whip o...

Originally posted by Money: quote:Originally posted by swampass: are there any changes to the DL rule in last few weeks? i only ask because towards the end of the year teams generally dont place players on the DL. i know its been a topic of discussion in the past and i just want to make sure that im...

Originally posted by JohnP: I am so frustrated with the live scoring feature. It seems to work for all of my regular leagues but invariably doesn't work on the slow draft / championship leagues. I wait and wait and wait and sometimes the pitching stats show up. If I leave the browser (chrome) open l...

I firmly believe that MLB in years past have juiced the baseballs to get fans in the seats (drying them out). And add the fact that alot of players were using PED's, this lead to many more balls leaving the stands. But it also put more butt's in the stands at a time when baseball needed to win fans ...

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: VERY NICE POST. Much appreciated. Greg, Tom and IT: I will repeat the same as the above posters. Greg, you felt the pain of not having the hidden team behind you last year.(We IT folks that are the backbone behind alot of businesses that people only notice when t...

Is there any way to view Faab money for all teams in your league? Click on League, then Owner's List

Greg, any rates yet? Even if you don't have codes, tell the rates(or ballpark it) so we can decide where we will be staying.

Tom,

I assume there are no more satellite auction leagues.

If not, slot me in for March 22nd satellite league

$500 is first preference, $250 is 2nd preference.

Whichever one fills up first

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: I like LaRoche, good swing, good age, nice pedigree, but last year he hit over his head, power and average-wise. That plus Citizens appears even worse on LH power than The Ted really downgrades LaRoche in my book. Wrong park... PNC Park is where the Pirates reside...

Originally posted by viper: NY1 and Lee was active at the start of the week. I also thought the Cubs waited until after 00:01 on Friday to DL him. Good question for Greg Absolutely, there is no way D. Lee should have been allowed to be moved. I have him in BOTH of my leagues and I checked Friday mor...

Originally posted by Walla Walla:

George, Thanks. Greg, I'll make sure I take care of that problem next year. Guess I've been here too long. Til than you can either ban me off of here or live with me. Take your ball and go home now... That is how most people like you handle things...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: UFS, You left out it has to be the same position replaced as the DL player. So if you had the foresight to pick the right bench player for the one who got hurt your all right. If not you lose for that week. It really isn't a fair rule. Just adding more luck to the g...

Originally posted by CC's Desperados: quote:Originally posted by Spyhunter: CC, while we are all arguing about ADP points, the whole point is to see who got the better lineup out of their draft, right?

Team Herron, I don't know what you are smoking, but you are definitely not Las Vegas 5, pick 12. That is reserved for the team that will end up finishing 150 overall. So you don't want that team anyhow. Originally posted by Team Herron: Tom: It shows my Main Event as in Tampa 2 - and it isnt my team...

Can you pay for plane tickets for next years event this year and also include them against this years winnings?



Anyway to beat that dumb a$$ Uncle Sam

Please tell those that picked early and picked Carlos Beltran that early picks are so friggin great. People that think you have to have a top 5 pick in baseball are those owners that are generally weak owners.

I have to agree on doing something other than luck of the draw for draft positions. I agree with either model. Select an order and let people pick their spots based on that order (alot of people may not want a high draft pick), or my real preference is bidding. Bidding actually allows you to somewha...

MVP: Cliff Floyd / Reggie Sanders - Figured both would have missed 40 games by now. Already reached projections (since I only projected half a season for both )



LVP: Beltran - 4th pick overall, PLEASE wake the F up



Best pickup: Brett Myers

Originally posted by Walla Walla: I've been following this and I don't see one top fantasy player signed up.I guess your 14th place standing in the NL Auction league qualifies you to be a 'top fantasy player'.
