Is he always this bad?

So, on the plus side, I lead the league in scoring. on the minus side, I am 0-2. hmmm. also, $80 for bleacher seats! Holy Crap! I am going to the June 16 game against the Brewers if anyone is around.

Still I beat all you losers if West Virginia loses its semifinal. Either way I beat all of you but Don with my 5 am bracket after watching 0 basketball games this year! I should point out that I don't believe I have any skill just that experts don't no jack! :D

Now that we all seem to have gotten a grip on prospect value and everyone has an active minor league roster, I am considering implementing a rule change. The proposed change is to continue with three years exempt status for prospects but add years 4-6 as pro-rated points values: Year 4 - 30% points count Year 5 - 50% points count Year 6 - 75% points count Year 7 - full points count. Ultimately, points could be tied to performance similar to actual arbitration results and you could offer players long-term commitments. Thoughts?

Looks like the extended draft wins . . . less social but I think better in some ways. We can start as soon as we finish the prospect draft, which will begin now? Do we need to set some ground rules? My suggestions: 1. You cannot have more than 10 minor leaguers at any time and all new picks must be in the minors. In addition, all players who will be in your minors at the roster deadline must be on your minor league roster. 2. Picks can be made here or on the site. Players need not be in the database to be picked but must be in a major league team's system. 3. ??

is everyone in again this year? We will have a minors draft prior to the major league draft.

Time to get the ball rolling.

“I just decided late last night that’s what I was going to do, and I didn’t give it a lot of thought what’s going to transpire moving forward,” Hendry said. “I just felt like it was time to do this.” I just love management that makes late night decision without regard to the future.

Anyone heard from him? I'm not sure if he has been evacuated or not but I know parts of Pasadena have been.

for this week. In case you hadn't heard.

prince fielder and victor martinez. looking for prospects or draft picks. :doh:

Anyone interested? He's always been a big second half performer!

Let me know what parts you may want to use.

Really? I don't want to offend anyone but really Beckham and Meche only nets you Moustakas and Smardzja?

The rules regarding lineup changes and the minor league draft were edited.

orie needs to make that play. :(

This is a little out of control. I expect people to manage their teams to avoid this situation. It will happen on occasion, but I am concerned when people have this problem multiple times, particularly in consecutive weeks. We will institute a new policy: 1. In your first offense, you will lose the last start(s) to get you back to 7. If you have multiple starts at the same time, the higher scoring ones will be removed first. 2. In your second offense, you will lose your highest scoring start(s) of the week. 3. In your third offense, you will be asked if you would like to continue as a manager. Please post here if you notice your opponent has gone over or is going to over in starts.

I forgot how much I love this guy: “I don’t know if it was surprising or not,” Baker said of Maloney’s performance. “I only saw him a couple of times in spring training, so it was hard to make an assessment.”

to end the kevin gregg nightmare?

and I mean major cheaters, should be banned for life by the NCAA.
