But it will be interesting to see how this goes over with others.

Greg,



What is the basis of this decision? Seems a bit unfair.

Originally posted by la Jolla: Don't worry about it Greg, I was hoping to have STATS hold off on processing the bids until it was fixed and I could bid myself, but no choice no problem at this point......nydownunder, why even post at this point if you were able to secure your free agents. I wouldn't...

JOAK, perfect time for a side bet.

Greg, The system wasn't locked the last 30...it was slow (each screen change took about 30-45 seconds. Each player added, assuming he is on the initial page (no sorts), takes about 4 screen changes.)

Originally posted by bjoak: Well, as I said, you make changes based on roster decisions and so forth that teams make on Sunday. There were a few things today. You will find out about them when your 5 magazines come out next month. I really got the players I wanted anyway, but it's the principle of t...

I don't think there was any earth shattering news this afternoon.

I haven't read each post thoroughly, but my only thoughts are the following: I think you do need to differentiate this new format relative to the Main event as much as possible without creating some crazy product (ie 11x11). This should reduce the amount of cannibalism from the Main Event. In using ...

I am in a league where a couple of teams have 4 closers, and although I doubt they'd drop one because of one's heavily weighted RP strategy, I think it would be a shame if one of their closers were removed from the pool...especially considering I've been scraping for a second closer for some time. A...

I use to agree that no closers takes you out of the overall, but heading into this year's draft I determined it can be done. Don't get me wrong: a lot of things need to fall your way. A lot!!!!! I drafted no closers, but have obatined 18 saves to date. I suspect I will get approx 50 points from save...

Doughboys picks up Overbay for $18?!?!?! Lets pick up you game Vegas League 4!

I punted Closers in the draft, but not necessarily for the season (ie 18 saves). I sit in 1st place in my league and 8th or 9th overall.

Interesting, yet perhaps too complex and time consuming (for owners). However, I do agree with your reasoning regarding the competitiveness of each league. Last year I was in (what I believe to be before the draft and after the season) one of the most competitive leagues: many former league winners....

doughboy,



Congrats! You could of at least let me take home the Tony Gwynn jersey this week.

Originally posted by bjoak: I don't understand how bidding for saves works. With Duchsherer and Street out indefinitely, the A's have announced Embree as closer. While the above mentioned closers go for $2-300, Embree cost about $60 (unlesss you were me overbidding for him in my satellite). Can anyo...

I was fortunate enough to grab these 5:



Clemens (16)

Upton (18)

Victorino (19)

K.Johnson (20)

Ol.Perez (21)



If only I knew SB's wouldn't be a problem for my team: Willy Taveras becomes a waste at #5.

I certainly don't agree, and I have never won a dime in the 2 years I have already played. It's a nice idea when you know for a fact that >90% of those in the league/competition are what many would call "professionals". What determines who is a "professional" isn't as important as what makes up the ...
