UFS, first you haven't been ahead of me all year. You moved ahead of me as the injuries piled up. What sucks about being in a league as good as LV3 is that a lot of w/w pickups in other lges just weren't available.
Second, you are spewing a bunch of in-hindsight-BS. Miguel Cabrera was a big risk. Tulo was a big risk. Sabathia a big risk. Capps and Conor too high. Give me a break.
Sabathia, after that bizarro start, has probably been the best pitcher in the league since. In his last 7 starts, 12 er, avg 7.6 IP per start and 50/10 k/bb. I've been ahead of you almost the entire year. Maybe you were a tiny bit ahead during Wk 3 and 4 for a day or two, but other than that, you have been way behind.
The fact is I've been 20-40 points ahead of you the last month DESPITE my 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd picks out for 2-4 weeks. Holliday, Peavy, Figgins.
And I KNEW you'd come back with the lame injury excuse. All the top teams in our league have had major injuries. The only reason I've dropped recently is from numerous, horrible pitching decisions I've made.
The FACTS are simple. Too many risky picks is a recipe for disaster season you are enjoying. I've moderated over 200 phone, 16-team mixed snake drafts over the years and the percentage of this strategy is among the worst. Just like you know auction draft strategy as well as anyone out there.
There is NO hind sight on Miggy pick or the others I mentioned. I thought that the moment you drafted them. Miggy is the only non 5-cat guy in the first 10 LV3 picks. My projections had you at #13 after Rd 1, after the draft, and you are at #13. Go figure.
Nothing sucks about LV3. It's one of the best leagues I've ever been in ever competition wise and Lance's LV3 MB posts are the best! The battle has been a blast since Day 1 and there will be no shame in losing to such a great group.
Totally disagree with w/w in LV3. I've picked up Contreras, Laffey, Gallagher, Olson, Blackburn, Ben Francisco, Branyan. All have helped. Brian's picked up A.Ramirez, Flores, M.Izturis, Barmes, Schumaker, Ianetta and Lisch. All have helped him at the right times too. Franklin,DeWitt and Coste are the only three that have helped you out to the same degree. Brian has 46 more FAAB left. I have 75 less than you left.

Ive enjoyed this post since its the guys in my draft and agree with much said.I still thought i had a decent draft but its not showing , YET. Carlos Beltran j/k

Yeah, but playing the faab market on the cheap is one of the stronger parts of my game and I think our league has a few others like that--moreso than in other leagues--is what KJ means. In a sense your post helps to prove that. I am waiting for Barmes' return. He was looking to be the best of my pick-ups.
Someone help me out here: when Barmes was hot a couple years ago, didn't he get hurt and then came back but did poorly? Am I remembering that correctly? Just want to know how much I should temper my expectations.

KJ, I do think that Cabrera 3rd wasn't a great pick--more because you asked than because I want to team up against you. He was the only first round pick that Euclid had clearly pegged as less than first round value. I didn't buy that he'd hit for such an enormous average and I thought that ballpark would sap his power and I didn't think the league switch would bode well. Also, as John mentioned it is hard to get back full value on a first rounder if he has 0 speed.
Why did you take the 3 pick if you wanted him anyway? Just curious. I've changed my mind between KDS and the draft before so there is nothing wrong with it if that was the reason.
At the draft, I though incorrectly that Kent had also reached for him after I warned him and I went on this huge rant to him about it and he said, "Dude, I didn't pick Miggy." I guess I just didn't see his draftboard the right way.

We're both still waiting for that flower to bloom.
Ugly so far.

It's a huge part of the game, and one of my strengths also. So much is made about the draft and not not enough about faab.
These guys have saved your bacon all year. They get red hot every time you pick one up and that's what it takes to win in the NFBC.

If you like Miggy so much, which many did, why would "3" ever be ahead of "6" or "7" on a kds list?
Congrats to Kent also

He said players available, so that's what i went off of.When someone is picked up he is no longer available. Same thing. A lot of guys were picked up a week or two early in our league was the point.

[/QUOTE]When I needed them, the available MI have stunk. there have been OF. SS is the hardest position to replace, and with Tulo I enrued a 150 avg for a month (and I was still ahead of you) then lost him and replaced him with guys who had their worst week of the season in succession when I plugged them in. Some is bad picking, a lot is bad luck. Grudz is hitting 300 on the year, the week I had him he went with 2-20 with no other stats. I plug in Durham, he goes 0-1 then rides the bench with a sore something and catches fire after I drop him. I plug in Lowrie who was playing decent and hours after the deadline he gets sent to AAA with no warning. My MI has been a stream of bad luck. I think it will even out over the season, so I'm not complaining - I'm explaining.
You won't be 20 pts ahead of me in the end so keep crawing about it while you can!

I expected a big year out of Tulo so didnt want a SS in 1 - I liked a lot of 1Bs and OFs late in the draft so I didn't want to take those positions either. Thus, Wright or Miggy. The Miggy ballpark stuff is a lot of crap - this guy has hit everything, everywhere his whole career since coming up. I blame the contract. He'll probably get his head together over the offseason and come back with a monster season IN DETROIT next year. Hopefully, it will be sooner than next yr but I'm not holding my breath.

UFS,
I really should start tracking your team as I do a few others just so I can watch, tick-by-tick, your lead melt away as the season goes on. Then I'll also be prepared for your excuses before you make them.

Here is a bit of unsolicited yoda-like advice for everyone: if you learn to evaluate your mistakes as such and then figure out what you did wrong and how you're going to fix it next time instead of just saying s happens and it's out of my hands, your game will improve. If you apply this to your life, that will improve as well.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

All the crying and "Bust" labelling of Miggy, and with a strong week, could be right "on pace" for what many projected him to get.
It's not like he's a 40 HR guy.

~Lance Completely agree. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he met my projection for him. It's just that he's a 30 .300 4 guy, rather than a 40 .330 12 guy.
