Lovely, dead last choice on my KDS, and Jupinka gets another #1, joke.

I don't believe they've run the orders, haven't received email with KDS deadline or draft order results either. In some of the earlier drafts (DC and OL's), the orders were automatically generated when the league was setup but the actually KDS run didn't happen until later, then the orders were revi...

Greg just a reminder, I'll also be drafting Online for the Thursday 3/28 6pm PT draft (Ronny Mor).

i am in dc 79 and we are barely averaging 1.5 rounds per day. the problem has been several 8 hour runoffs. one owner did not even have anyone in his que after his 8 hour runoff and the system picked Aroid for him. the main problem though is that the owner who got the number 1 pick constantly takes ...

We're 3 for 3 being in Jupinka's league last 3 years, Thanks Greg

Waipu and Cali - I was in your DC league also from the 9 hole Waipu: I envy your vacation and ability to golf at will golf was the source of all those 4hour 'offline' messages in the chat window. if you are an avid golfer, new zealand northlands is a must visit. several gorgeous seaside courses, mo...

Was thinking, I was in a league where the pitching fell a little too, turns out I was in this league (I took Hamels at 3.09, however did it because there were enough hitters that I didn't care which one I got after the 3/4 turn, so I went with the SP first). From the 9 spot C: Lucroy, Ruiz, Iannetta...

The Waipu Birdies Waipu, I was in your league from the 7 spot -- I really liked what you did early in the draft, but wasn't too high on some your picks from round 10 to 20, but overall your top 10 picks should keep you in good shape if they stay healthy. Looks like I'm at the mercy of Zack Greinke'...

I am no expert but this looks like one of the best teams I have seen...How did you get Cano..Wright..Verlander..Hernandez in the same draft..AMAZING Stan Well remember this is a 12 teamer, you may have been looking at 15 team drafts. But Cano at 4. I was surprised that Verlander made it to 21 (Kers...

Haven't seen the Reserves.

Greg, I think we should be on there twice (Ronny Mor), signed up for a Main and an XII each of the two Vegas weekends.

Loved collisions at home plate in Little League (well, age 13 and up), of course I was 5" and 60 lbs bigger than most kids at that age, and I was the one with the catchers gear on.

WHA-WHA-WHAT??!?!?!?!?!

Went late 9th and mid-16th in my two Slow Drafts.

Baseball is way too fickle week-to-week to have a high stakes H2H league. Over the course of the season, things even out, but week-to-week things are crazy. I don't dislike H2H leagues, it's just that I wouldn't ever gamble more than $100 on a league, there's way too many niche strategies and ways t...

Harper will end up having an ADP of less than 24 at the Live Drafts (Top 1.5 rounds of Main, Top 2 rounds of XII). If Hosmer & Lawrie were drawing top 30-32 picks last year come that time, then Harper is going to be in way more demand. One owner was so high on Hosmer last year he took him 17th in a ...

Upton will be a wash in drafts -- stats will be negatively affected by park, but will be positively affected by better lineup.

I don't think I was planning on drafting A-Rod before the news came out that he might miss the year.

Greg/Tom,

Signed up for the final spot in this league and received and email saying KDS would be run at 4:59AM ET. As of 2:00AM ET, there's already a draft order up and the draft room is open -- just wanted to make sure this is the wrong draft order and the clock isn't running on the draft

Was talking about this with a friend last night, we came to the consensus that if Josh Hamilton had won the HR title, that Miggy still would've won the MVP with 2/3 of the Triple Crown categories -- HOWEVER, if Mike Trout had won the Batting Average while Miggy took the HR/RBI, then Trout probably w...

a different way is: Open new blank excel workbook. go to appropriate web page, (Transaction History), (Free agent Rankings) any page really with the info you want. Highlight the data you want copied, including column headings, right click mouse, hit copy. Then go to blank excel page, right click on...

He got 4 games, slap on the wrist. Bigger issue is whether he learned his lesson, because he sure looked like an out of control, immature, unprofessional punk. If that pitch had actually been in the vicinity of the plate, and he had still gone that apeshit, he would've gotten 10. This was MLB's way...

It's very simple to manipulate in Excel, you'll need to get familiar with the "Replace" and "Text to Column" functions. 1. Highlight the Add or Drop post text 2. Paste it into a blank Excel workbook 3. Highlight all the text you just pasted into Excel (should just be 1 column worth of text) 4. Go to...

Tell you what, I'll give you the Davis Win, if you also take the likely ~.150 average that your pitchers will put up on the season in a good amount of AB's.

Sarcasm and Internet Message Boards do not mix well, I have 15 years experiencing epic sarcasm fails from both side of posts.

The AVG won't be included until the batters reach 200 AB, and ERA/WHIP won't be included until 50 IP (I believe these were the floors). It's so some guy with a 1.000 AVG in 1 AB or 0.00 ERA in 1 IP don't skyrocket to the top of the rankings (this could be built into the ranking formula, but currentl...

Ah, sometimes I long for yesteryear with mailed reports 4-days after the 2-week long standings period ended. Or doing the stats by hand at periodic times during the season. Today, if every single AB or IP isn't recorded correctly within seconds of it happening, people go ballistic. Just chill, your ...
