If not, these posts are nothing new to the forum, thus I have no porblems with this annual event...and it's not like you know anything about basbeall anyway.

If yes, you're a JOKE Gekko! You've got more attention issues than T.O.! Yes, I'm a content panelist. Are you? I perform those duties without any MB BS.

Btw, will you give me a lance-style bet? Give me 5-1 odds that I finish higher than you in the main event this year. Put you money where your mouth is.

As far as attention issues, I call everything like I see it. Lance felt the need to post an unsolicited attack on me, so I gave him some of his own medicine. It's as simple as that

If you are drafting in NY this year, let me know what league and slot you are. Thanks.

I see you have lots of confidence in yourself (ie 5 to 1 odds). Even up and lets go!

Any substantial bet from "Skilled Labor"??? Fat chance...you'll find him begging to sleep in the draft room to save a buck...no class.

It's this lack of class that had me surprised when Greg selected him when there are so many baseball minds with class to chose from. I think of Greg and Tom with a certain higher standard...I think of Gekko as a windbag...attention deprived youth...a co-champion of the self stated "easiest year to win the NFFC." The most arrogant, classless attention seeker of any high stakes Fantasy event. The win went to the head of the first WCOFF winner as well...He's faded away.

So because I'm smart with my money, I'm classless? Lance, even if you aren't drunk, your posts make you sound like you don't have a lot upstairs. I hope that's not the case, but that's how you come off. Just being honest.

Now stop being so jealous. It's clear to everyone

I hate to get off-subject here but I thought I'd chime in about Gagne.

I have no doubts about Gagne if he's healthy. Even with a fastball in the low 90's, he still has the best changeup, best curve, and he's incredibly intimidating, and hmmm, just plain dominant.

So if you think he'll hit say 25 saves, please throw in a mid 2's e.r.a. with an incredible whip to boot. He was in my opinion the best pitcher in baseball, and that's including Mariano, for atleast a few years, and he's got a burning desire to succeed. I don't think there should be too much question how well he will pitch if he's healthy, it's simply a matter of how healthy will he be.

When healthy Gagne had three of the best pitches in all of baseball.His fastball,change,and curve had to the filthiest.What scares me is the fact that he was hurt last year and would not admit to the injury.If he plays cowboy this spring at best you have lost a closer,at worst you have him attempting to get people out in a home run haven.

What makes it more difficult is the fact that a high number of fastball pitchers do not get velocity untill the end of spring training.
