No idea what we're doing yet. So far ideas of keeper league and auction drafts have been brought up. We're going to have to come up and an agreement.

Im up for anything, even be in 1-2 leagues as well. Never did auction before just mock draft. You will be playing in more than one league Sparky?

I will not be. I get too attached to my team and hate following/cheering for multiple teams. I know cheering doesn't do a goddamn thing but I rather just follow one. I get more entertainment out of it.

I have to agree haha! I will probably be just in one team as well unless we do an auction as well I might jump in too.

Blah...looks like the Yankees will be trading for Kuroda. Is trading for him really going to make the team better than if they were to bring back Nova?

Why not just bring Nova back up?

Plus...how the fuck does Kuroda have a no-trade clause?

If they're going to get a starter...you just have to get someone better than Nova, Hughes, Colon, Garcia and Burnett for it to make any sense. Bringing an NL Wester over is NOT the answer. No reason to get someone who isn't at least a legit #2 starter.

Dante -took the plunge

We'll see how it plays out next year but I thought the idea of 10 picks in the first 3 rounds (four 1sts, three 2nds and three 3rds).

There are a tons of pitchers not on contracts, only 8 pitchers have been kept so there are lots of great pitchers to choose from if I want to stack back up on them.

I'm facing a fucking pitching jugernaught this week. He has like 46 guys with starts this week. If I didn't get Hamels then I'd have my 3rd guy going tomorrow.

And I forgot to fucking start Chacin. Of course he pitches well.

Agreed....Kuroda coming from the worst division in baseball to the best division in baseball. He is going to get rocked.

I sent him a trade for a 3rd rounder for Hellickson.

He returned it for a 2nd and 4th for Hellickson and a 3rd and he was going to drop Morton.

I could have accepted that, takng a 2nd rounder from YOUR trade. But instead I countered and said "Oh...I'll take Morton off your hands".

So fuck you both. I think I should be given something. Like a big trophy that said SOL. or FUCKING MORON.

In all my years (5) of doing fantasy sports. I've never made the playoffs in a money league. Yet I cleaned up in free leagues.
