Todd, so are we picking 23 players in the auction, and then 6-7 more after the auction, with a short draft? How does that work?

Also, the time is 4:00 tentative. Is anyone up for scheduling this for later in the day, say 7:00 ET?

Todd - assuming that these auctions will be done on RT Sports and that further info will be emailed out as we get closer?

Tom, as always I'm going to mail you guys a check for this one, can you sign me up on the website for the AL Auction?

Thanks,

OK guys I'll throw my hat into the ring for the AL only auction on March 11th.
We need just ONE MORE

The government is well on their way to ruining this industry --- both DFS and season long, with a money grab.

Thinking ahead, if mound meetings are all but eliminated, there is still another way to stall for a bullpen arm to get ready in the bullpen. That would be throwing over to first base continuously. Setting my tradition cap aside (hard to do), limiting pick off throws to first base may add an excitin...

Where's Charlie Finley when we need him. Charles O. Finley.... now there was an innovator. Some of his ideas were good, some were not so good like the orange baseballs. We need more Finley's around today. For you younger guys who don't know who he was, here's a link.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Also a good idea.

Love it. It makes the game more exciting.
It's simply not 1955 anymore, people. (Dan) LOL
I'm also for a 7 inning game.

Rickey isn't still in the league? LOL

Merry Christmas all. Looks like the MTM just got more expensive and more out of my reach for this year.... :lol: But this is my favorite thread on the message boards and it's good to have it back for 2017. Competing and ultimately winning this league must be something like climbing Mt Everest. (Pict...

Love the anti-technology stance here John.

I'll be paying for these events the same way, as long as they let me.

Money is money.

LOL

The Braves must be trying to copy the success of the '83 or the '93 Phillies, both of which were old, veteran teams and both of which went to the world series. Otherwise why do you sign all of these guys? Kemp? 32 years old. Big bat for a reasonable amount of money....looks like a good move. Markaki...

I'm surprised this board isn't more active after a historic upset in a presidential election. We never have, and most likely never will again, see a complete anti-establishment candidate win a presidency, and do so in come-from-behind fashion after every poll for the last year showed him losing. I s...

It's finally time.

Probably shouldn't even say anything but let me jump in an defend TSlive a bit. The money for these contests is paid to NFBC / Stats in..... January. February. March. The games start in April. The season ends at end of September. So STATS has had the use of YOUR money for upward to 10 months. It is ...

Hillary is under investigation yet again.

How anyone (other than those that are on the government gravy train) could cast a vote for this CRIMINAL is beyond my scope of reasoning.

And that's the problem Dan. Hillary Clinton has a list of corruption a mile long. By any measurement she should either be in jail or on trial. Not running for president, and apparently winning the polls. You just can't get people to do the analysis needed to make a good decision. It's all about, Tru...

somewhere in all these posts someone wrote about the blue states and lumped Illinois in with new York and California. just fyi to that person: Illinois has a republican governor. From 1992 to 2012, 19 States have voted for every Democratic candidate for President (six national elections in a row). ...

Wayne, your party's response to the first black President was to nominate a white nationalist bent on instigating violence. If you're not emotionally able to accept that, it's not my problem. This is Donald Trump's legacy. Feel real proud when you pull the lever for him. Please do not characterize ...

Yah -- he posted a well through out response, and that's what you came up with? You don't get it. Trump wasn't nominated because he's a white nationalist. He got the nomination because the country is finally starting to wake up and is realizing that both political major parties are corrupt, and have...

Good write-up Dan. A story that all fans of the game should know. Ted always did things his way, never followed the group. For that, along with his baseball skills, he's always been a favorite of mine. Leigh Montville's biography of Ted was very good, if you haven't read it yet - ask the wife for th...

On second thought, it would be a better VP choice if we could get Kessenich to wear a red sweater and some black-rimmed glasses. Dealing with this crazy crowd is stressful enough. No way you're getting me and Tom to run for public office. Ken Bone for President. This guy would fit in perfectly in I...

Bottom line: LOSS
Dollars and time.

But if he had fun doing it, all power to him!

Fantasy baseball has been a net loss for me as well over the past 7 years.

ya mule- that would be ok- if you only had 2 choices. you have 4. the 2 political parties brainwash people into thinking that we only have 2 choices. the world is divided into 3 groups: one choice= dictators and communism two choices= us and three -or more choices- the rest of the free world. the C...

Trump's real solid base seems made up of folks who don't read or listen to anything that disagrees with their world view. The news they value comes from Limbaugh and his ilk. It's ok with them that he mocks the disabled, denigrates captured soldiers and on and on. The folks that represent real repu...
