Freak: Much improved strategy from the Razz Mock last fall where you went all power. Wow, #1 in SB?!

Just when you had me convinced you knew it all, you learned even more!

Nice job!

I hate steals. But that's what I get for auto-drafting ellsbury in the second round.

Gotta play out the strategy from there.

Brilliant strategy on your part to auto draft the first three. You are simply the best!

HA - I am projected as 2nd~

AH Well - My draft sucked last year, lets see how this one goes!

Happy Holiday for everyone, whichever you celebrate! If you don't have a holiday - go celebrate baseball starts today!

So don't need Verlander AND Hamels?
Try to avoid having pitching that is stronger than my hitting. Didn't quite manage it this time I guess.

Question is Grey, can this team contend and am I too weak in saves?

Auto Update: Connected

Team's never too weak on saves. You can always get those off the wire or in a trade.

Alright Grey, I started this tradition last year.

You gotta predict 1st,2nd,3rd or top three teams for the Originals League. Take some time to mull it over.

If I do it for your league, I'm going to get 20 other ESPN league links.
