I better brush up....As I get older, I find myself with less and less knowledge about the rosters of other teams besides the more known guys....

this may hurt me come draft time....

better pick up a draft mag.

About 10 minutes prior to the draft, Yahoo will inform you that it's time to enter the draft. On the league homepage, they'll be a link bringing you to another page where the draft will take place. As far as what players to choose, get a baseball mag or check out www.espn.com.

ESPN.com, CBS Sportsline or some other online baseball site is the best way to brush up. The magazines all come out in January or February and are virtually worthless if you ask me. The online sites are updated daily so they usually have guys on the right teams, in the right positions, etc.

Yes, we are, and I believe Matt (DHRjericho) did receive a good chunk of his prize.

It doesn't matter, you will go all out to get a guy and he will get hurt or have a crappy year or you will get some filler utility player who will have his break-out season. The team name is what matters most. :wink:

Sorry dude, but "Great Santo's Ghost!" is infinitely better than "Bolsheviks In Space", hands down...
Looks like you've lost before the season even begins...
