My team sucked last year but I did end up with a number of great keeper options. I'm in a 10 team league, fairly deep rosters. We keep 3 players, at least 1 has to be a pitcher 1 has to be a hitter. When you keep a player you lose your draft pick in the round they were picked in last year...if they were undrafted last year you lose an 8th rounder. Who would you choose as the 3 keepers? McCutchen (4th round) Trout (undrafted, would lose 8th rounder) Cespedes (19th round) Justin Upton (1st round) Adrian Gonzalez (2nd round) Strasburg (6th round) Darvish (10th round) The obvious answer is McCutchen, Trout, Strasburg and lose a 4th, 6th, 8th, but I'm tempted to kep Cespedes instead of McCutchen. Is that crazy?

Not that anyone is taking this seriously, but Rosemont would be an interesting spot for a new stadium to say the least. The entire village borders O'Hare Airport, so there would be planes taking off directly over/near the field constantly. The village is tiny and pretty much consists of their entertainment district with the Casino, Convention Center, convention/airport hotels, Allstate Arena and retail. I think the entire population of Rosemont is like 4,000. I'm assuming this "prime piece of real estate" would be right in the heart of this. The town borders Chicago to the east (and west since O'Hare is technically part of the city), and is about 10 miles west/northwest of Wrigley Field/Lakeview. Anyways, not gonna happen but I'm glad there is at least one ambitious mayor throwing this out there just to raise the stakes ever so slightly. Edit: Also, I'm not sure if Rosemont would be willing to put any money into this field...probably but I don't think he said anything of the sort. If they were to build a brand new stadium and everything else, there's gotta be a lot more involved than the $300m the Ricketts are putting up.

Yikes...I was looking at ESPN's Pickcenter, and for each team that have top 5 similar teams (since 2000). Michigan's 5 most similar teams: 2012 Missouri (2 seed that lost in first round) 2009 Florida (lost in 3rd round of NIT) 2001 Ohio State (5 seed lost in first round) 2007 West Virginia (won NIT) 2012 South Dakota St. (last year's version of the team we play in the first round....14 seed that lost in the first round) Those 5 teams have a combined 3 NCAA Tournament appearances (2 at-large) and 0 NCAA Tournament wins....yay

lol Dick Vitale has Michigan losing to Indiana in the Final 4
-
Yeah...despite all the drama the last 2 weeks about all the crappy teams forced onto the bubble, a couple of teams played themselves in and a couple more played themselves out, making the bubble drama minimal going into the selection show.
-
Interesting that Tennessee was the 5th team out. Lunardi had them as his 1st team out. Sucks for Iowa to know they were probably in if they werent jobbed against MSU
-
they said Cal and Oregon were 11 seeds on the S-Curve but when bracketing they were forced to move them down to 12 seeds
-
Hilarious...St. Louis was stuck in traffic leaving the Barclays Center and had to watch the selection show from a Best Buy somewhere in NJ. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18hst6zy1f31fjpg/ku-xlarge.jpg
-
Was that stated somewhere? They're the 4 1 seeds in the NIT. How do you know that? http://www.policymic.com/articles/30098/nit-bracket-2013
-
I just realized that if Michigan gets to the Sweet 16, they will be playing in Cowboys Stadium. I do not like the idea of Michigan playing another big game in that stadium.
-
I have Louisville winning the title, but I paused for a minute picking SLU/Louisville when I did my first bracket a minute ago.
-
(something like this) "We'll have more from our experts coming up after this" (heard off mic): We have experts here?
-
Middle Tenn St was explained as in due to 'having a veteran team, that could win on the road and didn't have a rocky patch this season' I didn't know veteran teams and even play through the season had anything to do with the selection progress. Miami was 5 on the S-Curve and was 'very very close' to Gonzaga for a 1 seed.
-
Ole Miss was in regardless of today's result Oregon and California were 11's on the seed list, but dropped while bracketing
-
wow Indiana was the only #1 seed locked down going into the selection process.
-
Indiana 1 Ohio State 2 Michigan State 3 Michigan 4 Wisconsin 5 Illinois 7 Minnesota 11 I think it was pretty even overall. Agreed. I think Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State and Wisconsin are what I expected. Michigan I had as a 3 or 4, so maybe slighty underseeded. Illinois was an 8 or 9 to me. Minnesota a 10.

No, one of them is ginger.

No Kentucky or Tennessee
