I did both.

I don't see this getting around to me tonight, but if it does, I'll make my 2 picks in row quickly if someone would text me at 313-443-7334, Thanks.

Wow, 4 players gone and none from my list. Maybe I was being reasonable with my list because I pick last, but it's nice to see thus far.

KSU played horrible, but I've never ever seen anything like the barrage of 3's by NU tonight. Tough loss for them.

The draft will snake correct?

Can't access the spreadsheet, but I'm tootielicious, Don Barwig. tadowdaddy@hotmail.com

Final Keeper List Edited: Braun- Exempt Prado- Exempt Aram - 277.2 Reyes- 106.2 Reimold - Exempt Morneau - 485.5 King Felix - 750 Kazmir (cost me the championship 2 years ago, lets see what he does with Anaheim) 250.5 Volstad - Exempt Zimmermann - Exempt (will immediately go on DL) Total Points: 1869.4 Minors: Bumgardner - Will be called up to start the year. Glad I can keep him in the minors! Wallace Lars Anderson Stanton Flores

Need more like 174 points. If it'll help in any way, let me know and we can talk about it. I know all 3 new members are willing to trade too, as I've had talks with all of them over the last day.

Eh. I wish somebody would trade with me so I don't have to keep agonizing over this. In light of recent events...I've changed again. Kinsler will be my keeper. What are the recent events? :) Ryan Howard not being selected as a keeper by roadster. I'm guessing he picks him back up with the 2nd pick in the draft.

I'd trade you Morneau for Gonzalez, or at least think about it, but am not sure if the 74 pts would help you.

Keepers so far: Braun- Exempt Aram - 277.2 Reyes- 106.2 Reimold - Exempt Saunders - Exempt King Felix - 750 Volstad - Exempt Zimmermann - Exempt (will immediately go on DL) Cecil - Exempt One of Halladay- 737 or Morneau - 485.5 Minors: Bumgardner - Will be called up to start the year. Glad I can keep him in the minors! Wallace Lars Anderson Lambo Stanton Depending on who I keep, Halladay or Morneau will determine my point availability. I could drop Halladay and keep Morneau and have about 320 points to play with, or I could keep Halladay, drop Morneau and be under the cap by a hundred or so. Thus, I'm open to make moves. Let me know should anyone be interested. I'll even trade my best minor leaguers to get an exempt bat or a low point total bat or SP.

Hey Clint, Weren't you in this league when it started? If so, you should update your sig with those records! :)

Do you have room for King Felix? He has 737 points compared to Halladay's 750.

Hello, all. I just took over one of the bad teams over the last couple of years. I played a few years ago with Tim, Juan, Raw, et al in the NSBB keeper league (which is still going on) but most of the principals ditched. I am working on getting the roster legal before the 15th so give me time to review the mess I inherited. We can give you an extension if needed. I got your message but I am pretty time starved - if you can read the rules and post your questions here, it might go faster. The 15th should still be fine. I am familiar with most of the rules. I do have a questions about Francisco Liriano. 2009 was is 4th year; however, year 1, he only pitched 23 innings. Does this first year qualify as exempt - if not, then Liriano is exempt in 2010; otherwise, he is non-exempt. Can I get a clarification? I think it depends on his number of starts the first year, but he should still be exempt. Actually, he is, because regardless, he had 4 starts. If it were starts, I think it'd be 5.

I still seem to finish with Adam every year.

If anyone can take on points, Halladay is available. I'd trade minor league talent however for an exempt bat.

EXACTLY!!!!!!! I wasn't comparing KSU to Illinois. I was saying that Illinois HAS been there before and should act like it.

Welcome!

Cracks me up that Illinois stormed the court, but KSU didn't vs UT. It wouldn't have happened had we beat KU either. It's all about acting like you've been there before.

Mine went out today. Don

Anyone want Halladay or King Felix?

Thanks! Justin and Matt both informed me that they really don't keep up enough to be competitive either. I really hope you can find 3 new teams. My apologies. Please do keep me on this board though. I'd love to be able to check in with everyone from time to time. Just make sure your wife has to give up something of equal value too ;-). I don't have to give it up, just was going to due to my other commitments. That being said, I guess I'm a major [expletive]. Just sick of the time it takes me to communicate for both Matt and Justin, as well as try to keep my team in tact. I'll say this, fill their teams first, and I'll give it my best to keep mine in order this year. Started thinking about it and just don't want to lose what I have for a year and then want back in and have to take over something I haven't built myself next year. Count them out though. I'll send $10 to Juan to keep my team. There may be a time or two this year that I have to email someone to set my lineup etc. Hope that would be ok. I get trade offers to email, which come to my phone, so I should be able to respond to them there. [expletive]! First you screw up my trade with the one guy willing to take on points this offseason, then you go and back out of the league?!? :D btw - good luck with everything this summer. When things settle down, hopefully you'll be back for future seasons. I'm going to keep my team. Just need to fill Matt's and Justin's. I'll keep it as competitive as I can this year!
