Another observation while putting together the scoreboard....

He's 23 years old, hit 24 home runs last year, and is moving out of one of baseball's worst hitters parks.

I like Sandberg23's wildcard pick. :D

 

If I actually had the time to look at the lists in detail and see who wasn't on the main lists I probably would have picked Hamilton or Delmon Young instead of Soto.

[TruffleShuffle]

i forgot about hamilton :x but like dobson said, i'm not too upset about ankiel. pecota has him hitting 30 homers this year, which can happen if his plate discipline doesn't result in pitchers just throwing him bad balls and watching him chase them.

 

i thought chase utley was insane in group d. i'm shocked that some people did not pick him.

[brinoch]

I like Sandberg23's wildcard pick. :D

 

Hah! That's awesome.

[Vanilla Ice]

I had PM'ed Laura to change my wildcard before the deadline passed, so it should be JD Drew. But I can't believe I didn't think about Hamilton

[Laura]

Sorry about that, Golden Thunder. I had 40ish unread messages and inadvertently skipped over your 2nd message. I'll update the list and PM Southpaw with the correct choice.

He hit what, 23 homers in half a season? It sucks that he's in AAA, but I doubt he's going to be there for long.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Wow, I could have sworn I saw Josh Hamilton in one of the groups. ****

[Laura]

If anyone is burning to make their first (non-wildcard) transaction, you're free to do so now.

[Derwood]

5 HR in the first 5 days of the season.

[TruffleShuffle]

i have 6, but ryan howard and ryan braun are on pace for a combined zero homers. I AM SUNK.

 

in other news, i am not counting on anything from adam laroche until at least may.

[Derwood]

oh, then i have 4, not 5. i thought braun hit one for some reason.

 

Detroit needs to stop sucking, as I have Sheff and Maggs on my team

[TruffleShuffle]

ankiel hit his 2nd homer tonight. on the plus side, i'm probably going to be happy with my wild card pick this year. however, it's going to be really annoying when he ends the year with more homers than any single player on the cubs.

NOTE: It’s too early for broken out totals for the perfect score. ;)

[Derwood]

sixteen? holy crap!

 

nothing like being 10 HR behind after just 1 week

[Ding Dong Johnson]

my team's looking a little bit better than last year

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Holy crap, lol

[Drew Doughty]

Drop Josh Fields, add Chase Utley

 

stupid white sox can't do anything right. trade crede already dammit.

[TruffleShuffle]

i am angry that people who did not have utley on their team are allowed to pick him up. utley in the "d list" was the biggest gimme of all.

[Derwood]

i think i jumped from 6 to 22 HR this week. not sure where that puts me
