Yes if you were out in Vegas either weekend and happened to be in one of the 7 auctions I was in you may have noticed my affinity for the speedster. I believe I was the 1st or 2nd highest bidder each time on him. "He can't steal 1st base!" and "Do you know how many times he got caught last year?" we...

Absolutely loved the addition of having the prices on the auction. In the past, I always had to save the hand written prices on each of my leagues. I happily threw them in the garbage can before I left home from Vegas. It was great during the auction to have my ipad up and being able to see everyone...

Remember when Topps Americanized Roberto Clemente by putting the name 'Bob' on some of his cards? They never called Marichal, 'John'. Or Rico Carty, 'Rick'. Never mind, I'm the only one that old :D Yeah Dan he was Roberto in his 1955 and 1956 baseball cards and then he became Bob from 1957 to 1969 ...

I am showing March the 2nd as Monday. Am I looking at my calendar wrong? I went to sign up but did not see it as an option. Is it suppose to be Tuesday March 3rd?

Melvin Mora is probably the best.

BJ Surhoff had good moments for that name.

I will have to go with Melvin Ott as the best Melvin.

Congratulations to you David! Well Deserved.

It's funny I happen to be reading this while I am playing in the WSOP circuit event in Tunica, Mississippi. I happen to be wearing my fanduel.com free shirt that I got maybe 3 years ago from fanduel at the NFBC drafts. It use to be very few people knew what fanduel even was when I was playing these ...

I will take a spot if deemed worthy.

Jon

Will take a spot.

Please sign up Dave Bergman as well. He has registered but has not posted before.

I would do it as long as it started after January 2nd.

Jon

I would vote for Payout of top 4. How about penalty for finishing last? 15th place pays 5th $5,000. That would keep everybody fighting until the end! Sign me up for diamond auction. Make sure Brady is the auctioneer.

Great song Potts! I will share the link with many others or at least my 14 facebook friends.

Every year it seems like there has been a combo contest combining the Main Event and the Online contest. I can't seem to find the standings for that anywhere. Did that somehow go away and I didn't realize it or am i just not hitting the right buttons to find it?

% owned most of the time in everything except a.l. and n.l. only

yeah mine went down as well

wow i can't believe that is a rule and it knocks me out of my last pick so lets just take the Zefurs 3 team that was given up by Lowy. (make that my last pick....i don't want to raise kjs adp.) for the substitue pick i will take Stevieland Triple Play 3/29 league 2.

For my 2nd pick, I will have to work on team management a little as I see alvarez currently on the bench....or maybe that is just a testament to the power of this team. The best of the Doughy drafts and not sure why they lasted until the 3rd round I give you..... 47 DOUGH MART MAIN Dan Kenyon Main E...

For my first pick I will stick with the Mike Trout theme and like the Fernandez, Wainwright at the turn coming back. Should be good for a finish near the top.

44 Dynamic Inertia David Shovein Main Event Chicago League 1 1,707.5 1,124.0 2,831.5

As someone who thinks the 1st pick is a huge advantage, I was looking for a solid player with MIke Trout on his team. Look no further than Hall of Famer Shawn Childs who also happened to roster a poor man's Billy Hamilton with Emilio Bonafacio. This could be the year for the Texierra loving man from...

stat muller will take the feb 19th auction as well if still available.

put me down for the $250 Feb. 15. Can't let Potts have all the fun. Jon Stadtmueller

You walked into the draft like you were walking on your own block Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself go by And all the drafters dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and... You're so vain,...
