It's Monday.

To that end, if you beat me in that league last year, please e-mail me (jeff at rotowire dot com) if you want that free subscription now.

Also it is a bit naive to think lower salaries would result in lower ticket or munchie prices. I am a firm believer that the owners will charge whatever the market will allow. Dave, that is exactly what they are doing, my point is what they should be doing. The higher broadcast revenue created an o...

I always have to go against this guy, so for once it's nice that he'll be one of my horses:

11 Air Lar Larry Schechter Main Event Las Vegas March 29 League 5

I benched him for just this weekend, only because he was sitting on Friday night and thought I'd get three games from his replacement ... Abraham Almonte. Too bad that I didn't realize the A's were too cheap to operate their own damn tarp. If the Reds were 4-1 rather than 1-4 I'd be more confident t...

Showing a little loyalty with my next pick - nearly carried me to winning this last year as Mr. Irrelevant:

Oaktown Scott Jenstad Main Event Las Vegas March 29 League 1

deadmoney3 kc cha Main Event Las Vegas March 29 League 1

Damn, if Liss wins this not only will I never hear the end of it, but I can't even find a way to profit off of it.

Let's go with chalk:

Quahogs NY Stephen Jupinka Main Event New York League 4

Sorry, pick coming in a second.

Very close - .2197 after today's stellar 7-for-45, 0/2/0 line in the Main.

Considering how early in the year it is with everyone still flush with FAAB cash, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Zach Britton size bids of a couple years back. Seems like a similar dynamic. Big prospect, big hype, big success in first couple starts..... Sorry to bring back bad memories for any ...

Pollos Hermanos, Ronny Mor. another mar 30 Las Vegas 1 Main Event Team. Has Garza, Hart and Lawrie on the bench right now and is currently in 1st so I will roll the dice. Is that four or five teams taken from my league? Damn ... tough track, or resounding rejection of my draft? Don't answer that, p...

Aargh, snaked on Cory's team!

The more the merrier.

I'm just happy that Shawn Childs got Marmol in our league and was unable to back him up with Fujikawa. I'm less happy that it was Gino Yu, who already starts off with 1.1, was the one that snaked Fujikawa from him.

I went to the live standings page and then clicked through from there. Then again, I had a pretty short list, as I don't know the pool as well as some others here. I'm totally going to get crushed in the endgame.

And the randomizer says --- here is the draft order: 1. Jeff Erickson - Quahogs, ME NY - New York, March 30, League 3 2. George Kleemann 3. Jon Stadtmueller $ 4. Michael Lins 5. Roger Martin 6. Alan Greenberg 7. KJ Duke $ 8. Shawn Childs 9. Dave Shovein 10. Scott Keikoan 11. Steve Jupinka 12. Rick ...

I gave it a mention in my review of the draft:

If you don't already have access to the site, just let me know - I can give you a free trial.

Fun but difficult draft Saturday. Good luck all.

We'll have Main Event champion Dave Potts on our show at 11:40 a.m. ET, 8:40 PT today. Sirius 210, XM 87.

Kudos to both of you, and all the others that cashed. Great job bringing it home.

Just thought of another, and my fantasy brethren are as guilty as "real life" announcers. When did injuries get shortened to just naming the body part? Smith is out with a knee. Jones is sidelined with a shoulder. Back when Dave Wannestedt was the Bears' coach, he used to do that. "He's got an ass....

Hit-and-miss for me, though some of my cheapie SP have saved my bacon: 11.13 - Chris Perez 12.3 - David Freese 13.13 - Vernon Wells 14.3 - Kenley Jansen 15.13 - Austin Jackson 16.3 - Bud Norris 17.13 - Mat Gamel 18.3 - Edwin Jackson 19.13 - Phil Hughes 20.3 - Ramon Hernandez 21.13 - Jed Lowrie 22.3 ...

Since when does Baker concern himself with protecting his pitchers' arms. He tried to talk himself into it, but it was against his nature.

True enough - great intentions go by the boards when comes time to win the game in question with most managers, let alone Dusty.

Update: The Reds will use a closer committee for the near term, with Aroldis Chapman being the primary guy when available, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Recommendation: The move was precipitated by another rough outing for Marshall on Saturday against the Yankees. Chapman will have some restrict...
