I have Wilson Alvarez in both the auction lge and NFBC - he finally gets a start and throws a one hit shutout in 7 IP. But LA doesnt think he is good enough to be a starter - even though he has been their best (non-closer) pitcher since the break last season, among the best numbers in the lge - yet ...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: quote:Originally posted by KJ Duke: Contreras - is he throwing like Lawrence - in the mid 80s with no movement ? No...Contreras is a HEADCASE!!! On another note, I love owners who get scared and start dumping decent players that start the year slowly. Maybe Lawrenc...

I think the pads' batting practice pitcher has a lower WHIP Didn't say I liked Lawrence, just that he shouldn't be in the FA pool. 2 wins, 17 k's, and a 4.97 era is better than some of the so-called ...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Much to my surprise there were a bunch of quality free agents available this week (none in my league of course). Here's a list of them. Either we have a couple of dud owners or we have a few "dummy" leagues. Too bad I'm not in one of them. Aaron Harang Brad Lidge B...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: KOQ, you da man! Keep up the good work. You are representing NY very well. Don't let any of those naysayers bring you down.

Originally posted by King of Queens: Let's see if I get this right. It was SKILL that I drafted Jason Bay and Dmitri Young, and LUCK that I picked up Danny Bautista, Ray Lankford and Jose Acevedo. Or is it the other way around? Seriously, I think it's way too early to make conclusions about where th...

I'm proud of you GG, you're a fast learner.

Why do New Yorkers love to refer to an opinion that is different from their own as crying? My above post was an o-b-s-e-r-v-a-t-i-o-n. Of course, I do realize that word is much bigger and harder to say than crying, but if you learn it your vocabulary would go up by 1, and you may find it useful some...

Interesting, 6 of the top 9 teams are not from Vegas, which had the most teams. Conclusion so far - Vegas rules!



The more competitive the league, top to bottom, the harder it is to draft a team that can win overall ... wishing I would have flown to NY or Chicago to draft against weaker opponents.

Last week's hot pitchers; bid disasters



Vogelsong 3IP, 7 ER - $100+

Yates 2+IP, 5 ER - $50+

D'Amico 6+IP 6 ER - $50+

CH Park 6IP 6 ER - $50+



next up ... Paul Wilson ???

I believe that losing bids should not be shown ... don't give overbidders a crutch.

WOW !!! I couldn't bring myself to burning even half my budget on a guy that could flake out at any moment ... but good luck and thx for not keeping us in suspense.

Greg - since there was one huge outlier in the NL, I am sure everyone in the lge is very interested ... could you post the winning NL bid for M Bradley?

just posted ... sack got him, still dont know how much though - what did you bid sack, how bout you herron?

I don't see him either, emailed Greg a while ago so I assume he is checking into it



[ April 04, 2004, 07:55 PM: Message edited by: KJ Duke ]

Now that the polls have closed, anyone wanna guess what he's worth in the NL where everyone has 2-3 bench players on their active roster?

thanks, was looking on lge rules page not main

What is the tiebreaker for FA bids ? Haven't seen this posted anywhere.

Greg or Tom,



Will he be available for today's FA run for the NL auction lge ?

which tm are you dogface? not sure I'm seeing your team

Good chance he could be out 'til late May, early June - if not he would have been a steal in the NL auction (that's why I stayed out of the bidding).

North Park, LB BR, and you ?



Congrats on winning last yr, so what was most important ... the draft, FAAB or good health ?
