There should have been far more of these, so many apologies for that. Anyway, as of a few minutes ago, it's tight at the top. Doc has come back to the field and BSA has come pretty much out of nowhere to be a contender. Me? I'm the kid standing outside with his nose pressed up against the window.

Wow, look at BSA making a run. You guys have a battle.

I am pretty psyched - for fun lets look back at my drafted team......

Now the boys just need to maintain and not take an early winter break!

Wow, not even sure how you went from the one team to the other, but pretty impressive switch.

Trades -
Hippo I got Halladay, Utley, Hamilton for Alexei Ramirez, Reynolds, and KRod in different trade combos
Iowa I got Teixeira

Everything else was add/drops in FA.

Zigging a little before my Kiwi friend Zagged from Razzball to the FA pool.

Then within the last month only scanning for players rocking categories I need within last 15 days.

I also got pissed at the beginning of the year when you lumped my draft team with MJ's Autodraft. Rather than being miserable I got busy.

Thank you professor!

Glad I could motivate you.

As I told a paraprofessional that worked for me in my classroom when things weren't going well.

You can get pissed and quit or pissed and motivated.
Either way after the draft I had and then the first two months of merde I am psyched to be in the top 4.

Once again I think the league was a success, people had fun, and we only lost one - Anyone ever hear from Salty F. Biscuits?

This is a fun little experiment


My team now:
C Wieters, Barajas - The fact that I still have 2 Cs explains a lot
1B - Chris Davis - Funny story, I traded him away, and now he's back on my team!
2B - Aaron Hill - Free Agent pick up of the season for my team, I don't want to imagine how bad I'd be without him
3B - Pablo Sandoval - Man I wish he would have C eligibility, but he's been pretty good too me anyhow
SS - Alex Gonzalez - Traded Jimmy early, and have been playin hot cross bats ever since
CI - Chone Figgins - Trade acquisition to bolster steals and avg
MI - David Eckstein - yuck, see SS
OF - Adam Dunn - trade acq.
OF - Michael Bourn - trade acq.
OF - Shane Victorino - trade acq.
OF - Dread Pirate - trade acq.
OF - Jonny Gomes - was Cody Ross for a large part of the Season
UT - Rajai Davis - sagnof
BN - Krispie Young - he's back on my team after an extended hiatus

SP - Justin Verlander - Cy Young candidate booyah
SP - Edwin Jackson - liked him pre-draft, no one drafted him so I picked him up, been good since
SP - Scott Kazmir - trade acq.
RP - Papelboner - kind a meh season for him
RP - Valverde - been pretty good since injury
RP - Trevor Hoffman - trade acq.
RP - Bobby Jenks - trade acq.
Curretly Streaming: Tim Hudson, Scott Feldman, Joel Pineiro - Tyring to make some late season gains in Ws.

Overall, mostly shit. Damn autodraft for the first 2 picks royally F'd me in A. I got to 4th at one point and have been bouncing between 6th and 8th since. I've never played so hard in a non-keeper to finish this poorly, but it has definitely been fun! Can't wait for next year.

I can see a few of my former players there!

Haha yeah, I'd ask for a refund, but I'm not sure I want my players back!
