[Southpaw191679666239]

All talk and jibber-jabber plus transactions are to be kept in this thread.

 

HAPPY OPENING DAY EVERYONE! Good luck and let's get this thing going! :yahoo:

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm going from almost worst to first this year, bitches.

[Southpaw191679666239]

REMINDER -- No transactions until noon CST on TUES APR 5th.

 

Sorry, Matt Holliday owners. ;)

[NCCubFan]

I assume I can go ahead and post my transaction now even though you won't process it until Tuesday.

 

Add Ryan Zimmerman, drop Matt Holliday.

 

Not a good start when a player goes down this early. :(

[Andy]

I'll post mine too. Drop Holliday add Werth.

Arencibia is who's going to win this thing for me, losers.

[Derwood]

Once again, i stand alone with my WC pick. I always miss the obvious choice

[TruffleShuffle]

three starlin castro choices? that's..... optimistic.

[Sammy Sofa]

Once again, i stand alone with my WC pick. I always miss the obvious choice

 

Yeah, I don't pay attention to the Royals at all so I had never even heard of Kila Ka'aihue until today.

I didn't realize Freddie Freeman was in the majors.

 

Danny Espinosa, lead me to victory!

[Sammy Sofa]

[expletive] it, I have a feeling Rollins is going to pull some kind of miracle out of his ass.

[NCCubFan]

I assume I can go ahead and post my transaction now even though you won't process it until Tuesday.

 

Add Ryan Zimmerman, drop Matt Holliday.

 

Not a good start when a player goes down this early. :(

Since it's still before we can make transactions I've changed my mind about this since it sounds like Holliday could possibly be back by this weekend. I hate to burn a transaction this early when it may be only a few more days.

[Rob]

Add - Carlos Pena

Drop - Evan Longoria

 

I don't suppose I can just tell you to reverse that add/drop when Longoria comes off the DL, can I?

[moochpuppy]

Add - Carlos Pena

Drop - Evan Longoria

 

I don't suppose I can just tell you to reverse that add/drop when Longoria comes off the DL, can I?

 

You do know that Pena injured his thumb yesterday?

[sweetpeteman]

In case you're curious, here's the breakdown on how many people selected which WC player:

 

 

Kila Ka'aihue - 7

Freddie Freeman - 5

Starlin Castro - 4

Carlos Santana - 2

Alex Gordon - 2

Dan Johnson - 2

 

1:

J.P. Arencibia

Danny Espinosa

Grady Sizemore

Ian Kinsler

Todd Helton

Jimmy Rollins

Mitch Moreland

Sean Rodriguez

Carlos Beltran

Brandon Belt

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I picked Gordon 2 years in a row, and he sucked so I'm pretty sure I just made up a name last year.

[shnsajax]

Since I haven't done this before are the standings post anywhere and every so often?

[NCCubFan]

Southpaw usually posts the standings weekly.

[evv98]

Talk is cheap.

 

Kinsler has three already.

I will try every Sunday, but I figured the third day of the season wasn't worth it.
