Soriano or Arod

It's Funny how quickly things change. I was going to bid 990+ to get Pujols in this league, now I might not care that much where I land in the draft order......On a side note.....Of the guys that have signed up for this league, would any of you be adverse to raising the stakes a bit? $500 to $1000 e...

I'm in agreeance for bidding in the Mathis league.

I sent you an email, but I'll post here as well. Wed. $250 for me, C. Fleming...Thanks

keep the personal stuff off these boards guys, unless this guy works for stats inc., it's not relevant here.

fair enough guys...

Greg, if the hold up is on the Vegas Ultimate league and since we were all told that the deadline for our KDS slots was yesterday, can you select the draft spots for the NY/CHIC/TB Ultimate league now. Thanks.

Agreed Greg. You've got 5 people on standby, move on if someone isn't ready to lock in.

What.. I thought we were getting our draft positions tomorrow morning?

Wait a second Buster, I, Christopher F. finished ahead of my brother Matt F....If you have a brother you'll know why this is important...And it was his future wife that chose the wedding date...enough said..

Hey Buster, I unfortunately am stuck at my brothers wedding in New York on draft weekend. He actually finished right behind me (Matt F.) in this contest...If I pray hard enough he'll accept your offer for the steak dinner and call off the wedding...thus allowing me to enter the Main Event on Saturda...

Great Greg..thank you

Greg, the KDS/BBDS has been debated already and I don't think it's gonna fly with a couple of the guys. So if we concede that it will be KDS this year, can we move ahead and have everyone do their KDS rankings and get our draft slots asap. It shouldn't take another week to get that done. Thanks.

Yeah, that does make sense Red Sox Nation, we've all been planning on a 15 team draft, to change now is not wise. Hopefully Greg can fill a 4th league for those guys and we can get our draft spots.

If we can't get a 4th league together, is it an option to expand the 2 Ult. Drafts from 15 teams to 18 per league and increase the prizes accordingly...1st-50k, 2nd-20k, 3rd-7.5k ? Is this something that you(Greg) and the current 30 Ult. sign-ups would be for or against?

fair enough RSN, I'll move on.

Not a bad idea Kevin, I like that concept the most. As far as Bidding vs. Derby, I cannot see the advantage to Derby whatsoever. I respect your decision, Sox, not to use bidding, but for five grand I think most of us would want some say in where we draft instead of pulling names out of a hat. If you...

Hey Eddie, how's it going...I already took the plunge, it's my brothers wedding and I swear my soon to be sister in law purposely picked that weekend because she hates me...I see that you cleaned up in football this year, congrats...did you tell your wife that you just missed finishing in the money ...

lol, so far it's still on, but I have the rehearsal dinner on Friday night, thus killing my auction draft. The church ceremony is at 4:30pm on Saturday in Jersey only 20 minutes from the Hilton in NYC, so I will either do the first half of the draft and have a partner finish it, or if I catch too mu...

Greg, please change my $1250 mixed auction entry to the main event NYC instead...thanks, Christopher Fleming.

thats true for me too, gekkos option was not part of the vote...i voted kentucky over old option, but would vote bidding over kentucky.

there is one thing that will always ring true...given a choice, people will never agree on anything...happens in every facet of life, unless the decision is up to one person...greg, no matter what you decide some people will be happy and some will not...just decide and move on.

your too much walla, lets not be so cathartic..250 people are not going to give up on these contests because of a new rule that allows us to get an injured player out of our line up 3 days sooner than normal....i'm done on the topic, greg do whatever you believe the majority wants..i'm fine with eit...

trust me, i don't take anything on these boards seriously enough to get my panties in a knot walla....all i'm saying is each time a discussion comes up on these boards and you favor one side, you throw out the phrase "i won't play anymore" if greg does anything opposite of what you want. if you feel...
