If you use Firefox, go to your draft rankings page and hit CTRL U (might be the same in IE etc., I dunno). This brings up the page source. Then, when you are in the window with the html code, use CTRL F and search for the player. So when you search for Presley, you'll see this line: <option value="...

Oh, and one thing I CAN'T STAND about this year's tournament: They are calling today's games the Second Round!!! How lame. Like those play-in games were the First Round of the Tournament. Give me a break. SECOND ROUND!!!! Someone in the suits must have made that call. Crazy. It's the first step in ...

Lind/Longo/Moustakas should be at least be near average at the CI spots -- kinda like that group.

I like that team a lot, so long as your pitching holds up (I think you'll be ok there). Just work the waiver wire for some Starters and/or potential closers, the hitting is very good top to bottom.

That's a tad low, I'm aiming for 85% of each category to be in contention for the Overall.

Pleased with my draft but i'm sure you lot can pick holes in it. Share your team in this thread. Mine from the 5 slot. C: A Avila / S Perez / R Hernandez 1st: J Votto 2nd: D Pedroia 3rd: Aramis Ramirez SS: Alexei Ramirez / T Pastornicky CI: M Cuddyer MI: R Roberts OF: J Werth / Melky Cabrera / M Pr...

Greg, that early game is on Wednesday night 4/4 -- Thursday has Opening Day games for a lot of teams.

Any word on when KDS might be run for this league?

Was in that draft as well from the 4th slot. Really liked what you did in the OF Outlaw, was pissed when you got LoMo & Delmon that late, I was like "Shit, he's gonna pull off a solid roster". Here's what I ended up with at 4... C - Avila, A (8.09) C - Hernandez, R (23.04) 1B - Berkman, L (9.04) (OF...

The Franchise wrote:Votto for $40 is a deal. Thought he would go for north of $42

I was joking with someone a few weeks back that Votto might be a $60 player in NL Only Auctions, well I was really only half joking, $40 was a steal, was seriously thinking $44-45.

HAHAHA, add a $13 Kenley Jansen to their roster. Belt should be $13 by the way, not the $8 I put on there.

They are spending like it's going out of style. 16 players into the Auction, they've got 7 players already...

Votto 40
Braun 38
Tulo 35
Harper 8
Belt 8

Kershaw 26
Greinke 26

I am pretty sure the games start much earlier than your projected times Greg so I would get that confirmed before you do much more specific planning. Times are usually 5 and 7:30 central which would be about a 3 tip out in Vegas. I thought the same thing when I read Greg's post. Just checked the NC...

A few us went to the First Pitch LA two weeks ago, was a great event. My buddy dominated the "Fantasy Feud" game.

If you join Erickson's league, don't plan on getting Brett Lawrie unless you jump on him in the 2nd.

I much prefer OBP to AVG, but see the problem with changing it over industry-wide. It'd be like trying to introduce Yards per Attempt into Fantasy Football on the Yahoo Public League level -- the small fish would drown even faster with a new stat that better represents skill of a player. The true fo...

The rule has been revised from last year, but last year you were only allowed to change pitchers at will on Fridays during the last 2 weeks of the year. In the first 6 months of the season, the only way to change a pitcher on Friday was if they were on the DL. This led to some angle shooting and peo...
