Originally posted by Sheep: Thanks for the input. Don't worry about offending the Sheep. I am interested to hear when someone doesn't like my pick - I like Ben Sheets (or I would not have taken him) - he was my number 1 SP in 2007 and another SP that is getting no respect - Hammels was my number 2. ...

No love for the National League!!!

Boston over Colorado in 6 games.

No offense to any of you, but I hope the Rockies ruin all your plans.

A combo ski/baseball trip for late October would be nice.

Lackey, Haren, Beckett, and Sabathia. All consistent studs.They should all go pretty close together, probably no more than a round apart in most drafts. What I find interesting, since he has yet to pitch a full year, is that nobody commented on Hamels going before these number 1's. Possible Rich Har...

5.5 Josh Beckett

4.11 Chris Young, OF, Ariz

Sheep PM'ed me, he wants Hafner.

3.5 Bobby Abreu

Originally posted by Spyhunter: Umm, am I missing something? I went to look at the life time rankings and noticed there were only 361 players listed? Is that possible? Weren't there 375 teams this year? I would assume with co-managers and some players not playing this year and new ones coming in tha...

I'm guessing that Granderson and Rios will each have better sb and rbi numbers than Soriano next year while coming close enough in hr totals to give them more value in the second than Soriano in the first. Just my opinion

Originally posted by Spyhunter: quote:Originally posted by Edwards Kings: I thought long and hard about Granderson. This is a good spot to pick him in, though I think this is his career year, BA wise. I think he has more upside in power and speed than Rios, but he lost the coin toss. I worry about h...

2.11 Mark Teixeira

Yes. There are more mistakes than my example, another is Kevin Deckel showing not played in 2007, Richard Bales Jr is listed as Richard Bales this year but has the same team name, there are others as well.

Not a finished product.

I am not picking a fight with Sheep's team.

Bump



Somebody want to make two picks at 15?

Originally posted by Terry Haney: quote:Originally posted by Spyhunter: Wow, with a race that close I would be going back and double checking the numbers with an outside source!

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Congratulations Terry! You kept your lead over the final part of the season, and actually increased the gap quite a bit over 2nd place. Congrats to Thomas Greenwald as well for taking hold of 2nd place, and never letting go. Congrats to Mark for showing us all ...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Class acts who are always the toughest to beat. I really thought I had you this year, but you proved to be too persistant. Again, great job guys. Looks like I should stay away from Vegas if I want to do well next year. :D Mark, You did one Helluva job this year. Ev...

Originally posted by Joe Sambito: I followed it last year, but didn't jump in. Since Chest reserve me a spot, I'll come in at #10 and the Dodgers #1 starter- Johan Santana! We'll certainly find out if the new G.M. has any stones or not. It'll be very interesting to see what ends up happening with Hu...

Chest, Glad you're taking the bull by the horns and starting the mock early this year. A couple of notes, Capn' Hook wasn't involved last year ( I don't think he liked the lack of timeliness of the picks). Also Mark from Tradesman Kettleers PM'ed me and wants the 9th pick. With the 5th pick I'll tak...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Due to my bet with Nevadaman...I watched the Colorado Rockies boxscores very closely this season. I can't say enough about how impressed I was with SS Troy Tulowitzki. Putting up these kind of numbers as a second year player sure bodes well for his 2008 numbers...

I gotta tell ya, Quahogs, I love the way you think. ;) I second the idea of changing offensive players during September on Friday's. The Managers that are near the top will have plenty of time to make changes since their agonizing over every pitch anyway. No subjectivity, and we can replace players ...
