How about some sleeper chat? Gordon, what's the latest?

Greg,



If the value is there, do you see anything wrong with drafting 3 players from the same team with your first 3 picks?



ie. Arod/Jeter/Matsui

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Anyone who thinks this event isn't run with unconditional focus on its participants and that Tom and Greg don't hold themselves to the highest of ethical standards should be ashamed.

You have taught me well. I liken our mentor/apprentice relationship to that of Beane/Podesta. In order to win you need starting pitching and speed early.

This is exactly why you MUST grab a top tier starter with one of your first two picks.

Originally posted by Captain Hook: Gekko, very reasonable suggestion - you put up the prize money and we will change the name on the trophy We appreciate the response, but apparently you don't get it. Gekko doesn't need to put up the prize money to have the game named after him. He's just THAT good....

I'd second that in a heartbeat.

Thanks again master. I feel I must return the favor.



Aaron Miles suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee on Friday and will be out at least for a few days, possibly longer pending a further examination over the weekend.

I'll take door #2.



Will Dempster hold down the closer's role, or do you favor Hawkins' stellar bpi's?

Father,



I can't tell you how much your insight means to me. What other advice do you have for me?

Thanks for the update. I had him pegged as my fourth rounder.

Originally posted by Walter Sobczak: Dear NFBC, I have been waiting to see our draft order but find that I cant sleep at night because I fear that if I do not get one of the top 3 picks, I will lose the player that all but ensures victory.

Originally posted by Tom Kessenich: I'm not all that excited about the Indians. I think their offense has some questions (though I do like Hafner and Broussard) and I think they're gambling on Wickman being able to stay healthy. As far as Millwood, I think he's a guy who could win 12+ games if healt...

Tom,



Any thoughts on how Millwood will fare in Cleveland this year? How about the Indians in general?

Gordon-



I have Swisher ranked 269th overall. Hope that helps.

I'd like to hope the Tigers can find 450+ AB's for Monroe. He showed so much progress in the second half last year.



I recently read Brian Walton's article which stated that in terms of overall importance, the draft vs. FAAB would be 60/40. Would you agree with that?

Tom,

Who'll be more valuable this year Bigbie or Monroe?
