LAST CHANCE SATELLITE LEAGUE!!



Are you feeling the draft day blues?

Did you “F-up” your draft?

Did you make some “panic picks”?

Did you try and wait on some of your “breakout” players due to the ADP list, but they were snatched up before your pick?

Did you draft players that are now hurt or will miss time (Granderson, Lackey, Kazmir, Smoltz, Liriano, etc…)



We’ll I talked with Greg and told him that I thought there was enough interest on the MB to fill up one last league. He told me to go ahead and start a thread and see who wanted in! So here goes…



This is your LAST chance to participate in THE FINAL satellite draft before the season starts!!!! If you’d like to draft with the most complete information available prior to the season beginning, this draft is for you!



Here are the details…

Draft Date/Time: Saturday, March 29 at 11am EST.

Cost: $250 per person

Prizes: Pay top three



If everyone is prepared, the draft should be done by 2pm!



If you are interested, please post on this thread and include your real name. If we get 15 people by noon tomorrow, the league is a go. Due to time constraints, we’ll use a random draft order, as pulled by Tom Kessenich!



Stats for Week 0 (this week) will count, and you’ll be able to email greg your week 0 lineup prior to Sunday’s game. If you don’t email it prior to Sunday’s game, your first 14 hitters (factoring in position eligibility) and 9 pitchers will be used for Week 0.



Who else is interested?

1. Mark Srebro

2. Matt Bauler

3. Scott Keikoan

4. Bryan Vogel

5. Mike Konemann

6. Bruce Bevacqua

7. Dan Dolan

8. Eddie Gillis

9. Aaron Smith

10. George Beason

11. Jim Stanard

12. Henry Tang

13. bill cleavenger

14. Will Robertson

15. Josh Blumenreich

Sure what the heck.... I'll play in one more league.



Sign me up Mark.



Matt Bauler

Welcome aboard Matt!



13 spots left!!!

Okay, I'm all for this if we can get 15 interested owners. We'll just need to allow STATS to set your starting lineup for Week 0 and hopefully get your lineups set in time for Week 1. But I'm game.



If you can't fill it at $250, we can run a $125 Top 3, but we'd need to fill either one by tomorrow afternoon to get this done as Tom and I may not be in all day. We need our rest from this past month.



Okay, fill it fast and we'll run it. Good job GG.

who is next to sign up? let's get it filled today. draft slots tomorrow!!

I would love to join Mark, just to go head-to-head with you, knowing you won't be jumping me on Rickie Weeks or Carlos Zambrano. But I am at capacity, and another lge of FAAB on Sundays could be detrimental in my quest to earn $150k this season.
