I like $10,000 for fourth place for the diamond auction. Does first or second place really feel the extra $5,000 in their pocket? The impact is not as much as fourth place getting $10,000 back. I am guessing it would help it fill up quicker but with this group maybe means absolutely nothing.

Mentioned it to Greg back in November. Didn't think we could pull it off for this year but 2015 seems just right. Don't foresee a problem filling the league.

I have to think this has been mentioned in the past but do not remember seeing it -- can IT add to roster settings the pitchers your hitters will be facing for the upcoming period? The matchup, lefty/righty, prior success, the more information the better. Some things are certainly more useful than o...

I see it now: Tinker: Ok Champ, your turn to nominate (some high power low average guy) Tinker: Which one of you is Josh again? Tinker: Ok Champ, your turn to nominate (some OF from the Phillies) Um, a bit demoralizing to say the least. I think I will nominate Chris Davis, no not the Oriole, no not ...

Great Job Boston!

Priceless!!

Agree with BK. I have to think most people bid on Fernandez, no? Now the question is how much? I guess the $3 bid is a lot different than the $500+ bid but for the most part you are talking $250-$500. It is FAAB. Isn't most everyone you are going to spend on either young with potential or a guy who ...

Nice pitching. Now I have to draft a staff in alphabetical order? You are always a step ahead.

Not just you. Totally agree.

Not sure if I am in the minority or not but would love to see Monday through Sunday rosters under "Rosters" all week or at least until Friday instead of jumping to Friday right after the Monday games are set. I find myself always going back to the Monday roster alignment looking at games to be playe...

Toggling between teams/live scoring/etc is great -- toggling for free agency would be awesome. Thanks.

Love reading your recaps Wayne. Thought you were going with Heyward in the second but you shocked us with Cespedes over your hometown hero, not that it wasn't warranted, just interesting. Fun draft. Always a pleasure, good luck this year.

Would have to speak to Lowell but Friday evening, Saturday evening or Sunday morning would probably work for us. Monday morning not so much.

Hey Todd, I know you have a lot of friends in the industry and I am sure certain allegiances but what peron do you really listen to when they speak about fantasy baseball? Is that person different than the person you listen to most about non-fanatsy related baseball talk? Just curious who the top of...

Have the ultimate auction beginning at 4 pm on Sunday. That will not end until late. Can do it Saturday anytime after the main or Sunday morning/early afternoon. I am ok trying to get this done at odd times if necessary. Good luck Greg.



Regards,

Josh

Greg, feel free to add me to the list. My tentative status is inching closer to definite. Again, can't do Sunday evening because of the ultimate auction but Saturday night or Sunday morning is fine. Thanks.

Graig Nettles. Could he man 3rd or what? Who was better, who made you want to go outside and dive for grounders more than Nettles?

Congratulations Lopi and Steve, two great guys. Great job, real good team. Missed you in Vegas this year. Good luck the rest of the way.

We too had a great time this weekend, I think I need a vacation after three grueling days of drafting. A lot of real nice people in this league, got to sit next to Richie/Charles and Attie, lots of fun listening to Richie and Charles as a native New Yorker now living in AZ, felt like I was back home...

What a good time to enter the High School Musical stage, as it is winding down. We just had a High School Musical themed birthday party in November. Who needs baseball when you can talk HSM? With the first pick in the High School Musical fantasy draft the Wildcats select Zeke . . . priceless.

Hey guys, we are sitting right between the two of you at 3. We too will be taking one of those "top" 4 guys. We are still going back and forth. No matter what, like has been overly talked about on these boards, I think most teams would like to be where we are sitting no matter who we end up with, th...

As for KDS in the auction leagues, obviously not the same implications as the draft but might as well do it if not too much trouble. Some people would like to nominate early, some people may want to pick early right after the auction, some people may find benefit in waiting to the end and getting 2 ...

Here's a look at the highest spending team. Our philosophy obviously was to assemble the best team we could. We went relatively low early with Wright, McCann and Martin as our first three picks. We wouldn't normally grab two catchers so early but thought we would get a boost at that spot and fill in...

Or the best strategy for manager of the year I have seen and when it is all said and done probably a first or second place finish knowing this team.
