I am giving mine away in that league too. I promised the wife no more than 2 teams this year and I just joined the super. I will give it away to the first person who wants to take on one more team.



Let me know-

He's a young stud pitcher who can hit 100 on the gun.Still he's middle relief and not closing so how much value can he have if he even make;s the team.

We will see.

We will see. Uh, as far as I know this young stud from the Rangers (who can hit 100 on the gun) is named Neftali FELIZ...not Perez.



I was surprised that Crazy (Prez of Carlos Quentin fan club)like a Fox missed that one.

[/QUOTE]I won the team, PM'ed Mark and Greg to see how to take over the team. Mark said to PM Greg, which I did. Never received a response but I honestly didn't push it. I didn't send another email. Realized I didn't really want to run Mark's team. I'd rather run my own team although I appreciate the offer to take over his team for free. It was nice of him to offer his team out there and even nicer that he picked me.



Although there wasn't a ton of motivation to potentially win a league with Mark's team. If I win, it'll make Mark look good. Right there, I'm not feelin' the push I need to be successful in that league. Just my take. Also, his draft was dreadful and it had nothing to do with the bad luck A-rod pick. Left the draft with no outfield, literally.

Time to get one of the other junior members who posted answers to take over - there shouldn't be a dead team sitting out there in any league and I'm sure one of these other guys would jump at the chance to compete against the guys in this league.
