And having all minor leaguers in the free agent pool from the start isn’t fair to everyone???? You’re gonna have to explain your logic to me (and everyone else)!!!!! Owners are free to bid on them whenever they want. Nothing “fairer” than that. Sorry.

GG - your lucky you didn't run into the OLD CC Desperado's at the draft table. Shawn used to bring Kevin Deckel as his partner in crime and to serve as table enforcer. Kevin would wear a hoodie and look like a boxer entering the ring ready for a fight. Kevin and Lewis Lipsey had quite the exchange dring one of the first Ultimate Auctions.

Shawn has mellowed with age, the only time I've seen him GET this riled up is when CINDY is mentioned. Hmmmm - maybe there is a connection here?

Shawn Childs would make an excellent spot on your next venture into the blogtalk show! i was around when deckel was. when i was partners with jason emma, he accidently spilled his beer on deckel's cheatsheets. i thought deckel was going to flip. however, he didn't.

Shawn Childs would make an excellent spot on your next venture into the blogtalk show! And why would Childs be mad? He’s a good friend and I enjoy our discussions (both on and off the board). He feels one way. I feel another way. Certainly nothing to get mad at IMO.

As for Shawn and cindy, there was a rumor about a night in Costa Rica, but I’ll leave that to the rumor mill!!! You should have Greg track down Cindy’s IP address. I can 100% guarantee Cindy is NOT me!

I'd book him quickly and get right to this debate at the top of the show. Then when he calls you Cindy on the show, go all Jim Everett over him.

A role reversal, the host attacking the guest for calling him a girl's name. That would make headlines and get blogtalk.com to schedule you in place of Jeff Erickson's show!!

Book Shawn now.

Take anyone you want for your 30-man roster and win a title.

After that we all get an equal shot at the top prospects once they are called up to the majors. Fair again. Your argument is about inflation, not fairness because our setup is fair to all.

And if you want every available player in the minors in the free agent pool, trust me, the FAAB list will be in the thousands. That's not the way to go. Our setup is fair and the right format for a no-trade league.
