@BigFatHippo: Sounds like a good deal. Maybe I'll send you some Razzball coffee, if I lose. @sean: You read my mind. I love the Gathright signing for deep leagues who utilize the SAGNOF principles. I'll be covering this on a future post. I don't think anyone *wants* to sign Bradley, but someone will. I don't think it will be the Cubs. @big o: Thanks for the heads up on that.

@Grey: if you sign up at couchmanagers , you could access the draft any time you want . you would be restricted from commenting in the draft room , however .

Any thoughts on the Gathright signing by the Cubs? Is it an indication that they won’t sign Milton Bradley? I can’t imagine Reed Johnson is an everyday CF…

@Grey: OK, here's the bet. I say 100 you say 75, whoever's closer to the number wins. No matter the team. I lose, I donate another Pina Colada to the fund, same as the last. I win, you send me a gift of your choosing to the Bootheel. Deal?

@BigFatHippo: 3 years for $75 million is my guess. From the Yanks.

@Grey: BTW, what's the over under on Manny signing with the Angels? I put it at 100 million. I'll take the over.

@BigFatHippo: Yeah, Furcal would have to drop pretty far for him to end up on one of my teams.

@Grey: I'll never draft Furcal again, he's dead to me. Like Fredo, I'd rather have Yunel.

@VanHammersly: Geocities -- ha! I completely agree. @Eric W: Careful what you wish for.

I thought I had registered for the last spot in the Mock Draft about 2-3 hours ago, but the main draft page is still saying there is one opening. But at the same time, the “My Drafts” section of the site seems to indicate I’m in. Who knows–I hope it all comes together and we get some good commentary out of it.

The couchmanagers.com website appears to be the illegitimate child of Geocities and Tripod born in 1996 and then quickly put up for adoption. Real easy on the eyes.

@Steve: There was a message posted in the forum thread that there's one slot left.

@Grey: I believe it is full now - at least that's what some automated-email-thingy told me this morning (NZ time).

FYI, there’s only one spot left in the 14 team Razzball readers mock draft set to begin tomorrow. There’s a thread of the specifics in the forum.
