Thanks all for making this such a competitive league. I updated the standings with everyone’s handle who posted. We still have some blank spots but we’re getting there…

Bah, meant to post this here. I’m in 102 in this one, but is there a Razz league update coming? I’ve gotta be top-5 there.

@Rudy Gamble:
From my humble checking in at #96, there is only way but up.

Sounds like my one trade was a good one. If I could just come up with a way to get me up to the top 50. hmmmm!

I get the feeling that my only way of not falling off the deep end is to continue taking my ADD meds because Alexei and Iannetta are killing me.

As a foodie, I have to say that L’Atelier de Joel Pinero is a fantastic team name. It opens a world of possibilities: Violin d’Inge? The Fat Duque?

rookies…..yea ok buddy. There is no crying in fantasy baseball…oh wait, nevermind—-there always is!

@ThirdandKing – a collective 2.269 ERA. I hate to see how you do once Lincecum starts rolling! It’s nice to know that you represent our league, which is currently strongest, despite some grumblings from the peanut gallery that we are filled with a bunch of rooks. These nattering nabobs need to get their act together before they engage in criticism.

Despite all of that, we are gunning for ya!

L’Atelier de Joel Pinero here. I am surprised and thrilled to be at the top of the heap in my own league, let alone the RCL in general. I’d like to thank the Academy, my agent, and all the little people.
You like me! You really like me!
What? This is only the first update of the season? Do I get to keep my tro- no, I guess not.

@Chase- How exactly do you define rookies, and why would it have any bearing on our fantasy acumen?
@NoonTime- Zig when they zag! Everyone was ignoring pitchers as long as possible, so I stocked up. But yes, I’ve lucked into a sizzling hot start. If you check my draft analysis in the RCL forums, you’ll see I predicted a 4th-place finish barring surprises.

Boo ya for me, in the top 25 right now.

@NoonTime: That’s an awesome idea. Let me talk with Grey on it. Maybe we’ll create a link off the standings that shows all the trades.

BTW, not to call out my boy IowaCubs but trading Ludwick for the Rally Monkey? What are you thinking? Defend yourself good man!

dog traded Chone Figgins, LAA 3B to Tavern
IOWA traded Ryan Ludwick, StL OF to Dog

@Rudy Gamble: It would be cool if there was an easy way to pull out all the trades that have happened in the RCLs. Then keep them viewable and with their own comments section for reference (and trash talking hindsight) on a page much like the master standings.

By: Rudy Gamble

Rudy Gamble — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:51:05 +0000

@Chase: Noontime nailed it. I didn’t add any subjectivity. I just look at each team’s point total and then the stat totals for their league to create the index. My guess is some leagues might take a temporary lead in Wins and K’s based on streaming starts but that will even out if/when they hit the GS limit.

I figure the fun part is that all the leagues/teams are public so you can see behind the curtain. If someone is having a great year, I might be tempted to keep tabs on his player moves

League Strength Index usually has to do with the total Active Stats accumulated by the league… so rookies or not, if they have the stats they have the strength. The fact that he is #1 despite drafting Rollins and Lincecum with his first 2 picks is testament to the hot start of his players… He’ll keep the saves points but I’d be betting on a decline in some on the other pitching categories and his hitting can’t keep it up (except for the players we have in common of course)

By: Chase

Chase — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:29:11 +0000

oh BTW, just checked out that league. It looks like a bunch of rookies. Do you think the league strength index is playing enough role in this?

By: Chase

Chase — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:27:24 +0000

What an awful team. I’m already preparing my Razzball post for when I win this shiotzu. I’m Dr. Strangleglove. Just havin a bit of a slow start that’s all.

GM of the Bushwood Varmint Cong in the RCL Big Blue Marble. 48 moves and counting but IT’S NOT A PROBLEM, I can stop whenever I want to…. really.
