Call it the BIG 10 or BIG X. That means that there is 12 teams. Em, we pig guys just say sooie. The pigs already know that they are pigs.

Ken, thanks for the kind words. That trip to Philadelphia in 2001 changed my life. I met so many great people then and continue to do so pursuing this hobby, but there hasn't been one that has matched your friendship and desire to win. Yes, there was no Eckstein on my roster this year as there was o...

I'm way ahead of you guys. Last year I brought a Hall of Fame baseball with me to Vegas. I had Shawn Childs, Steve Jupinka and Greg Ambrosius sign it.

Greg, during this past year, STATS gave us a 2-week sample of their site. Any chance of them doing it again this off season?

On the live stats feed, would it be possible to add week to date stats to go along with today's stats, previous and year to date?

I want to thank everyone for all the congratulations you have thrown my way. I was very fortunate to win this as I got about every break imaginable the last three days. KJ, you had a great team. Every time I saw Fister and Axford pitch I got ill. When I woke up this morning to check the final standi...

Kevin, great work on winning the Ultimate Auction. Also congrats to Scott and Jim for their money places. I'm looking forward to competing with all of you again next March.

Richard and Charles, congratulations on winning the auction championship. I didn't think it was possible to win an overall by punting a category, but you proved me wrong. Great job.

I want to second Ken's message to Emmitt and Pat on winning the overall in the live double play. I've known you guys for over 10 years and couldn't be happier for you two. Congratulations also to Ken for another great season. There will be a championship in your future. Thanks for everything you hav...

It was quite the battle, KJ. I'm guessing the final outcome will be about a 2 point swing either way. I know its going to be hard to sleep tonight without knowing the final outcome. The LaBlanc win was huge for you. I was hoping for 2 more games tomorrow as I had quite a few players and you had none...

First of all I want to say that I have used this strategy ever since the DL rule was adopted. This year I have used it with Peavy in weeks 7 and 13 and Greinke in week 6. In my mind it is just an added tool that I can use that is perfectly legal. The stars have to align to make it work. You have to ...

Great job with the countdown to draft day. I particularly liked day 8.

Way to go Stephen and Shawn. I'll congratulate you two personally in 3 weeks. Excellent picks Greg.

Todd, you are currently at 6 pages for this chat. Shawn finished at 12. Can you match or beat him?

I can ask this question about 100 more times if it would help.

Todd, this is great that you're doing this. Why are there 10 pitchers on a NL auction team and 9 on AL auction teams? Since these games were started to mirror regular major league teams (example two catchers) why are the rosters set at 23 players instead of 25. Seems to me that there should be 11 pi...

That looks like a battle from awhile back between Bob Wickman and Matt Lecroy to end a few games.

Wagner-You'll enjoy Vegas. You are invited to have breakfast with Sack and me and others on Saturday morning at the Imperial Palace before the Main Event. I think Spartacus is buying this year.

Greg,

Another Brewer question. How much does their infield defense of Fielder, Weeks, Betancourt and McGahee hurt Grienke, Gallardo, Marcum, Wolf and Narveson? You can throw Braun in that group too.

Pick the alley on 3/24 and I'll be there.

I'd rather just go bowling.

Steve, what a year for you. I'll congratulate you in person in Vegas next March.

Greg Morgan was the other winner.

Shawn, thanks for your vote, but I have some more proving to do, like win maybe a third league title or something. Until then, I'm just the Jose Bautista of fantasy baseball. BTW-I'm pretty sure that David Longood has won three Ultimate titles..

Congrats to Steve for winning the Main. What a great team you had.

Schnks--I've been enjoying your posts on drafting strategy on the top teams. (Where were you last year?). This last one on Longood's team is especially interesting to me. I have battled him for years in the Ultimate Auction and he has been very successful there. He has always placed heavy emphasis o...
