Congrats Matt. Well done. Your only weakness was your failure to obtain Yandy Diaz. See you on line pretty soon.

Re: Greg & Shawn Childs At LABR On Friday & Saturday

Well guys, your American League team is better than your NL team in my opinion. Getting 2 top Catchers in Adley and Varsho is excellent. bobby Witt and Vinnie Pasquantino are young and already very good. Only to get better. A front 3 of Alex Manoah, Tristan McKenzie and Grayson Rodriguez are very go...

Re: Fantasy Brothers

Very interesting Dan and very true. What I'm going to comment on is my personal opinion on the "brothers" that should NOT be of the same value. Yes they are always drafted close but they should not. First off Gerrit Cole and Corbin Burnes I agree. Very close and I get it. Contreras brothers I agree....

Re: 2023 AL and NL $1,500 Auctions

I might be interested but I'm full up in Vegas so if you decided to do one on line I might enter. My first few years in Vegas I was a regular for these pools. I will follow the comments to see if it is viable. Al Holmes (Thurman15)

Re: The PreMature E-Draftulation League

Dan, it actually does not surprise me that no pitchers went in the first round. I believe this trend will continue. As you laid out, every pitcher has a question mark or 2. I believe a lot of drafters will go hitter-pitcher-hitter or even hitter-hitter-pitcher. Greg it would be awesome to get the dr...

Re: He's A Superstar

Hi Dan. After a long hospital stay and 2 weeks on a ventilator (not Covid) I'm finally back into Baseball. Today I decided to see what up with your posts. You can't make this up as you covered 2 subjects I wanted to bring up. As the not so proud owner of Juan Soto in numerous pools, I'm tearing my h...

Re: $$$$$

Very interesting Dan. Babe Ruth today would own Fort Knox. But there was only one Babe. And now the disgusting Trevor Bauer gets 40 million to beat up women. He doesn't play ball. In today's game we often see teams regret a contract quickly after signing a player. But back in the day, at least for t...

I wish I could have met Meat in person, but I did see him in concert and have loved his music and his passion since I learned about him after releasing Bat out of Hell. In a way Bat out of Hell was the way he lived. He did everything hard and passionately. Even on The Apprentice, he wanted to win. I...

Well I can see you winning Tom, but you told us that Darik and Greg didn't know a damn thing about baseball so maybe we should lower their projected finishes.

Re: NFBC Rank & ADP Influence

I think it is clear that there are only about 10 closers that have a high chance to keep the job, so it makes sense that owners are grabbing them earlier. And I think it is silly to insinuate that Greg & co. have made a mistake. There is no perfect way to do it. And if it is a "poor" ranking system ...

Billy Eppler is a poor choice. He did a poor job with the Angels when year after year he refused to sign good pitching. I call him Billy Ineptler. I bet deGrom is hoping that he does not install the 6 (or 7) man rotation. Only the Mets......
