[Baseball Furies]

I've heard that if you're going to War, go with the best. I'm going with the best. Greg please change:

Joe Berg (tentative)

To

Joe Berg / Chad Schroeder

Any slight perceived advantage due to this being a 15 team league has been addressed. Hopefully I can pull my weight with this hall of fame worthy partner.

I like the partnership guys!! Now save the heavy drinking for after the draft!!

I am the beer drinker. This is Joe's show and I am staying out of his way aside from when he wants me to get in his way. I love Joe. Probably the favorite person I have met out there yet, and that is saying a lot as you incredibly great people playing in your games. Will be fun to talk to him more often. But this is his deal and I trust him.

Translation:


Can't wait to hear "Team Anonymous'" spin. Should be good...

You will be getting in the way plenty my friend. I think you've forgotten more about this than I know. I look forward to listening, learning and most of all WINNING. It's going to be fun trying to take down this stellar group.

Simply stated, I'm going to war with the best.

Just a heads up that we are going to add this Platinum team to everyone's team page today. We didn't officially sign up everyone for this league beforehand because we were waiting for the Pay By Check option on Registration, but we'll change that later. We'll talk with the two tentative teams here shortly as well to make sure we can finalize the 15 teams for this league and then begin finalizing the Diamond Leagues as well. Thanks all and look for these signups today.

Here's the current signup list for our debut NFBC Platinum League:

Heard a rumor that an announcement may be coming soon from Team Anonymous.

Worst kept secret to everyone on this list. Surprised it took you that long to round up the 10 or 15 investors to back you for this, KJ. I feel sorry for every one of them.

[KJ Duke]

I think you heard wrong.

I assume you don't need me to do anything because Juprinkles is signed up already (except pay my half)?

[ALL-IN JD]

Bob,

Jupinka said don't worry, he will cover your half!

[Hells Satans]

He's the best. Thanks, Steve!!

[Quahogs]

Dobies is good at spending other peoples "real" $, but when it comes to his Auction $ he holds onto it like grim death!

[ALL-IN JD]

And 20K later you had a problem with that???

[Greg Ambrosius]

Team Anonymous is now officially in the NFBC Platinum and it will consist of KJ Duke, Jon Stadtmueller and Rick Thomas. This three-headed monster is all set and ready to go as we finalize the 15 participants in this great debut event. Thanks all.

We still have one tentative team on the list and one owner interested in jumping in if a spot opens. We'll follow through shortly with league thoughts on when we'll run KDS for this league, when we'll pick draft spots and more once we finalize the 15 owners, but there's no doubt we're close and there's no doubt this is going to be a special, special event on Saturday, March 29th.

Here's a look at the updated signup list for this league:

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

[Quahogs]

Do Jon and RT know what they're in for ?

[Greg Ambrosius]

He's the best. Thanks, Steve!!

Mr. Jupinka has the team registered and loaded to go. He said you just have to pay your 90 percent and he will send in a check for the rest. He also said he thinks you might be the best partner he's ever had, not that I'm trying to start any controversy or anything.

[DOUGHBOYS]

Do Jon and RT know what they're in for ?

An interesting trio for sure.
It is said that drafters need three senses at live drafts. Sight to see their lists, hearing to cross names off those lists, and taste to enjoy the food.
These three bring three more to the table.
Nonsense, horse sense, and common sense.
I'd like to be a fly on their shoulder to hear some of the conversation.

Yikes!!! Can't we just give Massotto a 2nd team instead?!?

[KJ Duke]

Yikes!!! Can't we just give Massotto a 2nd team instead?!?

Massotto requested a second team. After reviewing his first few online drafts, he was confident that he could easily beat any team based on his first-instinct picks.

I couldn't let this challenge slip by, but Jon is the guy who wanted to pull a team together from the beginning. We just had to find the right mix and structure to get things finalized. With Jupinka hauling in much needed draft help , we needed to call his Satan and raise him a stat-Mule. This will be a fun one !!!

Will there be enough room at the table ?? Don't forget a seat for the Mrs

The last time I saw such a gang tackle it was Team Shandler - I think they were stacked 6 high !

[DOUGHBOYS]

Every time I see Jon's name, my mind wants to eliminate the 'd' and first 'e'.
Making him a Statmuller. Great fantasy name.

Only two of us at the table, Jon has more important things to do! Plus, with RT's big board I'll be lucky to fit.

Hmmm, open to interprepation. Now I wonder, was his family heritage ...

In the business of delivering the stats •




Or, contemplating them •

I cant wait to see what Jusprinkles does when he actually has a good team after the draft.

[Quahogs]

Now if I was on board with Massotto...
