According to SNY website Darling will be back...I haven't seen or heard of Darling leaving Mets TV team. Here is my Ron Darling story: I was at Giants tailgate and saw Darling walking through parking lot. Stopped him to talk and he told me a story about the late and greatest Bob Murphy. The team was...

Every year I look at the results of draft and I wonder what Lawr Michaels has been smoking. $40 for Kershaw when Scherzer, next highest sp, went for 32 is flat out just bad strategy. Then he sat on $211 for about 90 minutes and really didn't get a quality bat in his entire lineup. Im no "expert" but...

Interesting strategy ...punting avg for speed and then finding good power guys at decent prices. Jose Fernandez could be the key to their winning. Love to hear the why on Melvin Upton

Fielder for 30?! Thats no discount for injury, body type, age and a middling season. For 3 extra bucks...EE or for 4 less...Pujols. Kipnis for 27...what has he done lately? stars and scrubs or scrubs and scrubs?

that team of Lawr's is godawful...how did he do that?

Nice job and thanks for "taking requests".

For those of you who like strategy write ups and round by round details, my write up is at the below-listed blog site. Would love to hear feed back.

Dan, Great post. Really one of my favorites. I was trying to explain to someone about how the one year that I entered the Main, I was so shocked and unprepared for the way in which players came off of the board. I think that this post comes closest to it. I know I could go to your team and look at y...

I like this team a lot and think it has a good chance. Post back here during the season to let us know how you make out.

What happens if a league signed up for is not filled? Does anyone know Will there be an option to switch around? Thanks

BK, Michael Bourn not signing caused you to give up your seasons? Michael Bourn? Here were his numbers post ASB last year: .225 2hr 25 rbi 36 runs 17 sbs 5cs 81 strike outs .325 obp. You wanted to pay $12 mill per for 5 years and possibly pick number 11 in the draft for that? Keep the faith in the b...

BK, I believe that a package that Atlanta put together for the Dbacks would not have hurt the Mets farm at all. Delgado is destined to be a #4 starter IMO and that of many prospect evaluators. How much better is Prado then Murphy? The rest of the guys were non-elite prospects. That is why I think Up...

Sorry Dan...one more Mets argument since my assertion was "attacked": The Mets' plan seems to be building around a young, price effective starting rotation of Harvey , Wheeler and Niese and middle of lineup of Ike, Wright, D'Arnealt and attaining competitiveness in roughly 2015, perhaps 2014 if ever...

Gekko who are the NFBC sisters?

Our draft has a similar guy whose name I will not print but will gladly advise of privately.

Diehard Mets fan here...just say no to Bourn! Stick with a plan for once...rebuild slowly but the right way

I am in the 10th round of a Draft Champ League Draft. I, like many drafters, like to plan where I will draft my first sp, first closer etc. before the draft begins. I do that by figuring out what tier of sp I want and where they are likely to go in the draft. Based upon draft position, I then try to...

Greg can you add me to this list? Thanks, Doug Langholz

Good point Dan, and you can bet Boras is taking his percentage off of the full $14 mill

I am a lifelong Mets fan. Piazza was never my favorite player, but damn he carried that team on his back. He actually made being a Mets fan fun for a couple of years because you never felt like they were out of the game if he had an AB left. I was listening to Mike Francessa on WFAN, the premier, dr...

Its funny that you listed your height and weight Dan. Now if you can come up with about 18 more statistics about yourself, you can make it into the Forecaster. But one thing I wondered at the live NFBC drafts is the whole food and drinks thing. It is not like the food you are paying 50-100 for is ev...

That signing raised my eyebrows today as well...where was the competition for Guthrie that they needed to throw that much money for those number of years? That is a signing that they will live to regret.

Belated happy Birthday Dan. You are one of the few things that help he get from October through February.

Does anyone know why they changed their site and if it is moved somewhere that I am obtuse enough not to be able to find?

Dough are you planning on posting your team and thoughts on your own draft...your readership has been awaiting this moment for four months.
