they traded Casey for some dude, but the papers here have been going on about how the free agent market is slim to none, and all the good ones went to play for another team because the old owner couldn't afford to pay them, and the new owners weren't allowed to make any financial decisions until MLB approved the sale of the team.

so, in other words, they're going to suck again this year?

And so will Timmy.

you bastards

I'm pretty sure I'm down for this one...Did everyone who lost last year, pay up ????I say anyone who didn't pay up, don't get to play..

I'm in...and I paid up!

I paid up a couple weeks ago.
I agree that deadbeats don't play.

I'm in

Ditto.

As well, the only one to whom I still owe a cd for winning any Obner league is OPA!, for the '05 Pick 'em Challenge. But I'll hold out on getting him Beauty and the Beat 'til he gets me that Kinky disc.

back to page 1 we go.....

I put a league together. Pretty much the only change from last year is that, because it looks like we'll have a relatively shallow league, I added starting spots for midddle infielder, corner infielder, and another OF spot. This way we'll make use of some good players who'd otherwise be wasted on the FA wire.

By the way, we should consider making this a keeper league if everyone agrees.

how many would we get to keep? all of them?

I bet that draft time is going to have to change for those West coast people.

Good draft times were hard to come by. I tried to get closer to the start of the season too, but there was even less available. It's possible that yahoo will have more draft times open in a few weeks - they've done that before.

Definitely a later time for the draft (5:45p start time for me)...
Later draft day as well (if possible) - that's over a week before the season starts. I'll still be caught up in WBCitement at that point (ends 4 days earlier)...

And, as previously listed, my pref is for 2 10-person leagues (if we have that many people), especially since it looks like we've added 2 additional starter spots (2 Util last year became 1 CInf., 1 MInf., 1 OF, and 1 Util. this year)...

Someone's going to end up starting Kaz Matsui besides the Mets, and I'm going to laugh at them...

I'm in. I think this is the earliest I've ever joined a Fantasy Baseball league. I mean, we're even ahead of pitchers and catchers!

Who is everyone? I'm The Brokebacks.

Hopefully its not too late for me to say that I'm in for this.

Go here to join the league, Van.

signed sealed delivered.

I'm the Carpenters song.

I'm in like Flynn.

Fuck, I will be out of town on draft day. I don't even know if it's worth it to particpate if I can't make the draft. God knows what I'll end up with.

Can I get in on this?
