Last pick in the last league. I guess that makes me Mr Irrelevant.

Sweet, Steve!



At least you have to deal with Stermon, Yu, Sheets and Craig from football!



Not easy.

Well I see we have at least one guy that posts in here, whereis Chest to chime in? Will Mr. Rototimes be on the boards? I see 4 players in the top 70 so it looks like a challenge.

We get in Friday morning, anyone doing anything exciting? Anyone want to hookup for drinks or food before or after the draft?

So you're telling me A-Rod won't drop to 15 in this league? Hmmmm. I suppose Johan/Sizemore will have to suffice.

Good luck to you as well.

Johan/Peavy, it's all the same. :D

So it appears by my unofficial count we have 5 teams who finished in the top hundred from '07. A league winner, an Ultimate winner, and two industry professionals to boot. I don't drink myself, but if anyone would like to have a few drinks before the draft, I'm buying.

Looks like we better bring our 'A' games to the table, gentlemen. Best of luck to all from your friends in the 'Two Hole'.

Sure Chest will chime in. To me this league is an interesting mix. As Hard Heads indicated 4 guys who have placed pretty high lifetime, a couple of other guys who have cracked the 2nd and 3rd place money, some guys who have struggled, and some newbies.



One of the things I always find funny is returning players who think of newbies as dead money. Simply not the case lots of new guys do well in this contest every year.



Good luck to you all and I look forward to putting some faces with some names.

Gino, Bob, Kent, Will are 4 names I see highly ranked and a couple others have had some success here so it will be tough no doubt. I do like 13 and am looking forward to the experience. Time to get back to studying LOL

Great draft everyone. Thanks for taking it easy on me

It was nice meeting the ones that I actually met. Good luck to all, until Boston and Oakland depart for Japan. Then may your teams rot in hell!! I kid. Kinda.

What a BLAST that Draft was!!



I'm the facilitator who sat in the chair doing the "small stickers" who had diarrhea of the mouth :rolleyes:



Apologies to those of you whom it aggravated, and thank you to the couple who said they enjoyed the "commentary." (if the ones who said "good job" were lying just to be nice, that's cool too)



No way I let another season go by without being there as a DRAFTING participant...see y'all next March!! :D

Ax, I didn't have a problem and I was sitting right next to you!! Good job!! And see you next year.



I don't think Team Rototimes has enough speed. They really needed to address that at some point :eek:

Well our league on the boards is disappointing, but I guess the real fun is in watching our teams. Anyearly thoughts from anyone? I know we are lacking in speed, runs and AVG still, so please hurry back Kaz and Owens!

My early thoughts are although the early stats do not show it I really think that the Rockwell and Sal butera suads are my odds on favorites to be at the top when this ends.

Still not sure who I think is the favorite. With all the veterans we have who have had success it should be tight all year long. We have little to no shot, unless we can get healthy and our "studs" can start hitting. We haven't had a day where we hit over .300 yet! Moylan to close to maybe we caught our first break?

I'm shocked to be in the middle of the pack with Fielder and Ortiz performing the way they are. Have yet to get saves right on a season either.

LOL I thought we finally had a chance to move up the rankings with 3, albeit weak options, but 3 closers ready to go this week and 2 of em go on the DL Tuesday morning! Thank You Atlanta for not having a monday game or I could have at least gotten Smith's solid outing last night! Man I hate this game we love to watch and play! :(
