Contests - Discussion & Updates Thread

[E.J.]

I'm going to wait a while before I use my 2 transactions, but I PM'ed Laura my new WC choice. Ryan Shealy was worse than awful in the first half. Terrible choice.

I'm going to wait a while before I use my 2 transactions.

Same with me. I want flexibility in case any of my players go down for an extended period of time due to injury. Those making both moves now are boxing themselves in if any of their players go down later.

y'all can't hang wit' dis.

ack how did i forget braun??? ](*,) ](*,)

[Laura]

I've also gone through and updated everyone's team in the locked thread with their transactions & WC change (if any). Please take a look at your team and PM me if I missed any of your transactions (a link to your post listing the transaction would be GREAT to include!).

 

I'll try to keep the teams updated on a weekly basis.

 

Reminder: Everyone has two transactions to use in the second half, regardless of how many transactions were used (or not used) in the first half.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Were my two transactions at the break counted as before break transactions?

[Laura]

Yes, they're also listed as first half transactions on your team page.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Yes, they're also listed as first half transactions on your team page.

 

Cool.

[Andy]

Ugh, I forgot Rios, Braun AND Hanley (Hanley's on my fantasy team for cripes' sake). Kill me now.

[Derwood]

i requested a change to Braun but it didn't make the list :-k

[Laura]

Sorry, Derwood, it's on there now & on your team page.

Perfect Score *

Group A: Alex Rodriguez (31)

Group C: Prince Fielder (30), Justin Morneau (25), Ken Griffey Jr (23)

Group D: Jimmy Rollins (18), Chris Duncan (17), Brad Hawpe (16), Victor Martinez (16), Eric Chavez (15)

Bonus Pick: Kahlil Greene (16)

 

Total: (250)

 

* I kept the “Perfect Score” totals with the original WC selections, because if you had that lineup, you wouldn’t have had to change your WC pick.
