This is my first year doing this so this is a noob question but where do we find the sheet so I can swap out a loser that I picked?

Uhhhhh, who the heck were the big earners for Tom?

more than zero

[Sammy Sofa]

Given your past WC debacles, this is some bold talk since you likely would have just picked a bullpen catcher or something if you had remembered to pick.

Oh, my WC choices over the years look like they were picked by the Cleveland Browns front office.

 

And it's not bold....I'm seriously shocked that I'm not already in the bottom 3 people considering I picked a WC who immediately got released by his team
