The Orleans would be the perfect hotel for this in the future. They have big rooms, great prices and very nice people. I have been there about 20 times. It is great. Stayed there once, had terrible service. Prices are good though, and its an OK hotel.

Originally posted by viper: 1. On the message board earlier this month, we were told that there would be a FAAB run next Sunday, March 27. Is that still true especially given when the roster will be posted? 2. Is the Sunday Night game a separate week? If so, when will lineups be due for that 1-game ...

Originally posted by : And also, I hate to reply to my own question with another question, but for some reason, the message board would not take my password. It is 14 characters long. I tried just inserting the number without the rmaysey preface, and that also did not work. Rosters Wed or Thurs. FA ...

Originally posted by Dyv: Uh Oh, may be fine value yet.... Mark Prior: Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild told the Chicago Sun-Times that Mark Prior threw 10 to 12 pitches from the mound Sunday, including some curveballs, and the inflammation in Prior's right elbow is almost gone. After getting th...

This is getting good ... I may have to run numbers on these teams tomorrow for some side action.

Jose Reyes



.290-10-33 82-49



Good, but not the steal of the draft unless he goes after the 9th round, which didnt happen.

Hey guys, send me the cash, I'm a money manager ... but I'll keep the interest.

Originally posted by PW Express: Agreed KJ, but I didnt think Wright or Reyes would be around after the 4th. I also think Wright is going to be a beast this year and Reyes will swipe 60-70 bases. I know its a longshot, but thats my feeling. On the other hand, a staff with Bonderman as the 4th and Pe...

Originally posted by Dyv: Sorry, I told you I rushed out of Vegas ... I had Jacque Jones instead of Richard Hidalgo. That should help my batting avg. and stolen bases with minimal impact on my power... I knew something didn't seem quite right. Also the 2b/ss I couldn't remember was Ty Wiggington Any...

Originally posted by Head 2 Head: Love the starters - Josh, Barry & Jeremy are all solid and bargains if you got them after the eight round. I also like your young Mets, but they looked to have went too early. Only two guys that I would have taken in the first four rounds. You put this team together...

No complaints, the entire event went off perfectly from my perspective.



Facilitators were excellent in all 3 leagues. Thanks guys, great job for NL $1250 auction-1,

Mixed auction-1, Las Vegas-6.

Originally posted by CherryJo: I noticed in most leagues, Soriano was taken ahead of Manny. Personally, I am down on Soriano, and project Manny above him for the year. Does anyone else concur, or am I in the minority? =) I'm curious, did Soriano slip into the 2nd round in any leagues? CJ I had Manny...

So ... a 3rd place team when drafted can be managed up a league winner or down to 5th place

To follow-up, Dyv I have you with 52% of your points coming from pitching, finishing 32nd overall. I have GG at 36th overall. (Per the above discussion, I have you scoring 13 and 12 for era and whip, 9 for wins and 6 for Ks and Svs). My team projects out to 9th overall, but of course I have forecast...
