Time For Shawn And I To Win LABR

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, I looked at these teams on the plane home and now I know why Shawn said "GO BIG OR GO HOME!!" Man, we gambled with these teams. As Shawn said, "well, at least they talked about the NFBC team a lot on the air!!"

I think we have to work the waiver wire in the NL to fill in some holes, don't you think? Oh well, this should be a fun exercise. Any more thoughts on these crazy teams we assembled?

Sands was $7 right?

After the aggressive start I thought your end game would result in a lot of dead spots with inactive players not getting at bats. You guys did an excellent job getting some cheap bats that should get some PT. Looks very good. I wouldn't trade it for another team. Best of luck

I think we had $39 for 17 players and basically sat out of the bidding for 2 hours!! By the time everyone came back to us the player pool was thin and there was always one or two owners who pushed the marginal guys up. We targeted Sands and Domonic Brown and had to wait both out. It probably cost us Eric Young Jr. because we were saving for Brown and then when we pushed Brown out at $1 nobody else bid. That was crazy. We actually ended with money left because we were saving $7 for Brown. But yeah, Sands went for $7 and we were ready to go higher.

Doug Dennis really ended up with a team even his mother could not love. He has two guys that I have never heard of: Brad Brach and Joseph Whelan(who I think may be my plumber). That is after doing a Slow Draft, wherein the top 750 players are drafted.

Dollars to a donut (WTF does that mean,anyway) that Whelan is Wieland. Both of these guys were discussed on the spring First Pitch Forum tours. Brach is a Padre reliever with great peripherals (When I was there, I told them they misspelled Brach, it should have been Boxberger).Wieland is also a Padre and was part of the Mike Adams trade and could start at some point.

Old phrase, Todd.
Coined when donuts were cheap.
Somebody that bet his dollars to your donuts was supremely confident in being right.
Dollars to donuts that you knew that though...

After looking over both drafts I'd say they were ah OK. Shawn you really let Greg talk while your drafting???

I don't bet money -- and there ain't no way I'm betting my donuts.

"Dollars" are actually upgraded. I think the original term was "dimes to doughnuts", obviously when doughnuts were cheaper than a dime. As I understand/used it, derivation was a betting term now in more common use. According to one website, "A dime to a doughnut' is a pseudo betting term, meaning that it didn't originate with actual betting involving donuts, but just as a pleasant-sounding alliterative phrase which indicated short odds - dimes are valuable, but donuts aren't.

Greg/Shawn...I really like your odds on both leagues, especially the NL. Stage one is over (prep and auction), stage two (in-season management) can bring it home. If you can nail two positions with a few more AB as playing time becomes available to some of the current free agents, plus latch onto one more starter to strengthen what is already a strong suit, and stay healthy of course, you guys will be the champs! I really like both teams.
