I am a little confused about week zero. Do we simply e-mail you with who we want for week zero. Also are there parameters for our line-up ie I drafted Ortiz in rd 2, if I was being honest I certainly would have played him. Is it legal to keep him out? I want to be fair but if that is the way others are going to do it I might have to also. Not trying to be a shthead but is everyone going to submit only players that did well. I know it is a gray area here, my heart is telling me submit the line-up you would have intended without the fore-site.But my head is battling with it. Looking for guidance thanks

Everyone had same chance to pick players that did good. It was posted on the message board before the draft was done. If you had stinky guys leave them out unless u want to lose. If you want to win play the best guys and reserve the bad ones.

moneybanks - At least you are being honest about it. Do what you think is right.

I drafted Street in one of the March 26th drafts and I'm leaving him in. Other teams aren't going to have any opportunity to drop a player's bad game during the year, so why should I? Doesn't bother me for a second.

Thanks for the input guys, instead of extracting what I wanted from your comments I asked myself, what is right? It may not be "smart" but I was never the brightest bulb on the tree. Ortiz stays, good luck all with your choices

Wouldn't you want to "play within the rules" in a way that increases your chances?



If the rules for a sat draft that took place AFTER games were played, and the rules allowed you to pick and chose whom to start and whom to bench based on those games...???



There is nothing honorable about starting H. Street if the rules allow you to bench him.



I'm not sure I get it...was there a cutoff to turn in your lineup that passed?

I think the easiest way to put it is there were no clearcut rules going into this. If I am not mistaken Greg was not sure how it was going to be handled. So things for me are very gray. For some of you guys they are clear cut. No worries, but the idea that being honest in this situation is foolish....We'll I just don't buy it. Good Luck

This draft was done after the Tokyo games, right? Everyone could factor that into their draft strategy. That is not an unfair advantage, it is a fair advantage because everyone had the opportunity. It's a competition, but your best lineup forward and forget about it.

Moneybanks u r totally wrong even though you are trying to be honest. Honesty has nothing to do with this . Greg posted before the 1st Japan game that you were allowed to set your rosters after the 2 games Japan games. Therefore you can use yoiur skill and manner that you would like to use. Please stop trying to be so honest. I hope if you find money in the street you return it to the polce station. Anyway play Ortiz active,,it's your choice. This is ONLY a sattelite league,,its not the National.. These stats only are used for this one league. No other league is effected by you playing or not playing Ortiz. Please do what you want.

Never saw the post or this whole thing would of been moot. After re-reading my posts, I come off a bit sanctimonius, was just trying to get this right. Lets put this thing to bed. Thanks Jeff B
