Mazel tov Mike! What a season. I'm staying away from you next year

Great job again Mike. Dominant showing in the NFBC the past few years. Congrats

Jason

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. Some things broke well for me in a couple of big leagues and I feel very fortunate.

One of the nice things about our game/hobby/obsession is that the slate is wiped totally clean each season. Fantasy baseball truly is like a mutual fund: past returns are no guarantee of future performance. Looking forward to matching wits with you - and others - as we try to anticipate the 2017 season. I already am especially looking forward to the live drafts in New York City and seeing a bunch of folks again. Truly a dream weekend for us fanatics (as I'm sure Vegas and Chicago are as well).

Mike

Jason - One of my strongest memories about the MTM Super draft was all the crap you got - including by the Sirius experts broadcasting the draft - for taking Mookie Betts ninth overall and how you gave it right back to them.

You were right.

Mike

Congratulations Mike, one hell of a season. Don't know you much, but just enough to know that you are a hell of a great player and most important a very humble person, like a lot of great players here actually. "Enjoyed" the beating and can't wait to crossfire with you again.

Thanks, Gaetan. I appreciate it. I'm sorry we missed each other in NYC last year. Looking forward to meeting you next time around and, of course, "seeing" you in the draft room. You'll hopefully get another shot at me soon enough: I think (and hope) the "Kenyon Premature" 50-rounder that we both did last season will be starting up relatively soon.

Mike

Mike,
The plan is to be back in NY unless NFBC changes their plans. As for the premature, oh Yeah another league you won, , I'm in no doubt.

Gaëtan

Congrats on a great season, Mike. You nailed it this year!

Thanks, Matt. I appreciate it. Good luck to your Cubbies. Here's hoping this is the year.

Mike
