Where can I find Gekko's team? ( league and team name)-- I would like to post all available free agents he may need from his free agent pool)-- should be fun. I don't single out a specific owner, like you are suggesting to do. If you proceeded down that path, my guess is that you'd get "talked to" by Greg. On top of that, you'd turn this fun topic into something of a personal nature.

My original posting was something that any of us could find on a fantasy website. Factual information along with fantasy analysis. Again, I didn't single out a specific owner, and I would suggest you follow suit.

Thanks. [/QUOTE]My two cents.

If you are going to post amounts that you think other owners should pay, then that is NOT factual information that I can find on rototimes.

And since you are deciding to become a pundit, then your team will be scrutinized, just as you have scrutinized other pundits in the past for various things.

It's pretty obvious to me. You have stated more than enough times you want to win a second title. That would be awesome.

To help in that effort, getting as much FAAB $$ out of the overall pool, especially Week 1, would be advantageous in that effort.

Just realize that if you play this game, many others are going to jump in also and don't have to mention you by name, but will certainly bring up the players you need to faab when you have the need for some.

So your effort to win another title has just become harder, not easier.

Good luck to you and all in the pursuit.

I read that fine.

Gordon do what you want no sweat off my back, but if your goal is to improve your standing by doing this you are not IMO, you are actually hurting the stronger players like yourself.

In every league you convince someone to bid 500 on Hermanson sits a Shawn Childs or a Stevieland with easier access to the guys that really will help them later on. Creating this hype on your league message board makes a lot of sense to me- what you do here does not. Fortunately I don't think many people listen anyway.

I would love to hear the other side of the debate from you on this without a muaaah, or you are just jealous written anywhere in it.

I still get amused at the notion Gekko is bad for these boards, if you enjoy him read it, if not ignore-

Since this is the 2nd time you posted that about MY team, I am holding you responsible if ANYONE were to take you up on your repeated banter about MY team. Get ready, I'm not kidding and it'll be fun to see how you handle it.

Again, I haven't singled any specific owner out. YOU continue to single me and my team out publicly. And you are doing so while trying to make fun of me...hence your laugh at the end.

Let's see who's laughing if your plan comes to fruition.

What if I think aza could steal 25-30 bases this year, which would be very valuable. Suppose I don't have a big need for him on MY team. Can you see why I wouldn't want him to go to Childs or Doughboys for cheap? Just speaking hypothetically of course.

Greg - after careful consideration, I will not be posting any estimated bid amounts for any of my future FAAB Highlights. Thanks for the push in the right direction

I personally think UFS is correct that if you continue to do this, your team is really the one to get burnt in the end.

I'm sure reverse psychology doesn't work on the likes of you, which is why I did no such thing. It looks like a "pegged" aza as going for between 250-400. So I was "spot on" when I posted my estimated bid amounts on aza. Now, if only I coulda tightened my bid on hairston, I'd be a real happy camper
