@Carl: If you have to decide before the end of spring training, I think you may as well go with Molina. You can probably get Perez or Motte back for not much more than you're paying now.

*that’s Yadier Molina btw.

Grey on the Cards website it says Larussa is not sure of handing over closing duties to Perez or Motte, I guess because of inexperience. I have a choice to keep Perez or Motte ($1 each) as one of my 8 keepers in our NL-only league. Either that or Molina at $4. Considering C is such a weak position, a .300 catcher on a good team is not bad plus I am keeping Doumit as well, so I’ll have a decent tandem at the most scarce position. I’ve noticed that closers have been extremely unstable the last couple years and to keep a very young reliever whom hasn’t even been named the closer is a bit iffy. This is why I am leaning towards keeping Molina instead. We’re in a 7 team league with 4 RP slots and we count holds, so I might as well draft my closers, as people will theoretically draft setup men as well . What do you think?

@Carl: Perez right now. Motte might see some opps.

Grey, off topic…who is closing in St.-Louis? Is it Carpernter? Franklin? Perez? Motte? All of the above?

Thanks.

@BSA: Ha, you have to watch the truck leave? Don't know what's lamer, that you watch it on TV or that they actually show it on TV. Cards leave for Jupiter in the morning, me and Fredbird can't be there, damm.

@BigFatHippo: that may be a time to say, "Eeewww!" Well I need to sign off, NESN is covering the truck leaving Fenway for Ft. Myers and I want to make sure I am well stocked with Popcorn, Beer, and my Wally The Green Monster.

@BigFatHippo: Nah – just kidding on becoming Baby Huey. I’ll be sticking with Dogs.

Doesn’t it suck when you read something you wrote or hear something come out of your mouth and go, “What was that?”

@BSA: Oh, well there's that. I just thought it was a reference to Vick/pitbulls/Newport News being his hometown. Never mind, I make no sense sometimes, even to me!

@Freak: We'll need to figure out how many drop out. Personally I prefer not to play a 16 teamer again, that shizz is just nuts. Pork should have a say in it anyway, he did originate it.

If there’s another spot in the original RCL, I wouldn’t mind taking it.

@BSA: As in Newport News?

@Grey: I'm confident Rudy will have a formula to figger it out. My head's still spinning from the Risky Pitchers. Glad none of my guys were on that list.

@Steve: Hey Steve – Looks like your coming in for the RCL.
As to putting the kids to bed, try Hippo’s advice – priorities!
(Don’t listen to me I do not get to say, “The kids can go to bed in a minute honey Wandy is still available and I am on the board next. – SHIT!! Hippo got him!” She just doesn’t understand it is a Razzball thing.

I still think the Dogs might retire to The News. -HA!

@BigFatHippo: Rudy's figuring out how a supreme champion would be determined, but I believe he will weigh the difficulty of each league then determine who was the best overall.

Plus, you’re almost an entire day ahead of us. You’ll know when Heilman takes over the gig before Heilman does.

@Steve: We would be cool as far as the draft though, right? You'd still be at work with plenty of time on your hands, till that Crocodile Dundee guy needs another cup of java that is.

Steve — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 02:29:32 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Here, bro.@BSA: Time difference sucks if you need to grab streamers as the clock ticks over right when I'm putting the kids in bed.

@Grey: How would a supreme champion* be determined? *I like that term, in a perfect world, we would be the Loyal Order of Water Buffalo, complete with a secret handshake and the password Ackkakk-adakk-dakkdakk-a-aakk.

@BSA: I don't remember Crikey so he's gone for Steve. That's fine. You guys can figure out your league, but I need to figure out how to make it fair for the other leagues. I probably need four captains to step up and take charge of the other leagues like how P0rk stepped up last year.

@Grey: That is a major MUHAHAHAHA! Do we offer the honor system and ask that each team list their charity of choice? Basically, these are the requirements, yaddy, yaddy, yaddy, including that each team pledge ten dollars in the name of Razzball to charity X, Y or Z.

@Grey: @BigFatHippo: Obviously I agree with Hippo! I agree with inputting Steve for one of the dropouts - Crikey! Will the time difference give an advantage to our Kiwi friend?
