    I love everything about this show. Well, almost everything. Booth heals too quickly.

     

    I almost took that when I took Undeclared, as I thought that might be the show you were talking about before.

     

    Since gtd brought it up, I don't know if it will make it back to me in round 6 so let's go

     

    Batman: TAS

    He's definitely been sniping the top of my board.

     

    Going back to Family Guy, though, I think it really suffered from ridiculous overexposure. If you were to ask me what show I wanted to watch "right here, right now" it probably wouldn't crack the top 20, as I have seen them all about 20 times each between Fox/MyNetworkTV/Cartoon Network/TBS. But it is definitely something I would want on the island.

    Honestly, I have always been under the impression that FAs of any variety were able to be kept as 20th rounders. The only way it affected my add/drops was I picked up Kelvim Escobar to stash for a potential keeper under that assumption. Not that I would likely keep him, but options never hurt. I may be the only one, I guess, but I'd like to know if it has really affected anyone else's add/drops. If it has then we can go ahead and wait to start "free" waived FAs next season.

     

    I agree that if I drop someone and pick them back up, I shouldn't have to take the draft value if FAs are "free". But being that I am the one most likely affected at this point (Ervin Santana), I am not going to be the one to make the case for it to be that way.

     

    And if you get a player who slumped and got dropped, more power to you IMO if they can be a cheap keeper. Everyone had a shot to pick up a Cust, Sexson, Garland, etc. when they were available.

    If a player is dropped and picked up by another team, he still retains his original draft value because it is essentially like taking on that player’s contract through the remainder of the season. I’m not sure if I had that in the league rules or not, if not it was always assumed to be the standard. If it wasn’t, I’ll include it in the giant keeper section that will get added at the end of the month.

     

    Just wanted to argue this point as well. I don't like this idea either. If I pick up someone that got dropped their "contract" should be finished. Of course the cost is kept through trades and if you want to argue against someone dropping their own player and picking him back up still costing the draft slot I won't argue that (as I did with Ervin Santana, though it was not for that reason). But if a player is made a free agent, that should be exactly what they are "free" with no later cost.

    At the worst though, the waiver priority is determined by reverse draft order. Since ours is an offline draft, you would just have to input the teams in the reverse order of the determined waiver priority.

     

    And not trying to put myself over or anything, but I am in first and my keepers have ranged from zero to a few innings of performance (Liriano, Gallardo, Josh Fields), to mediocre (Vlad), to solid middle reliever (Joba) and one stud (Berkman). So I think the draft may be getting underrated a bit as a team can be built through it (and free agency) without being carried by keepers.

    I am not a fan of that idea at all. It just seems to punish teams that have a full group of legit keepers and didn't have to hold their nose to pick a 5th/6th name to keep. Whatever rule is used (either an increasing cost or a firm 3 year rule) should help free up some newer names each season in the draft.

     

    I do think something that might need to be addressed is the waiver priority. The way it is now the best teams have the first shot at the premium prospects. So where the expansion teams need help the most, they are never going to get it (cheap, FA stud prospects). Whether we went to a randomized order or just keeping the draft order (worst teams get first waiver priority), I think we need to change something up on it.

    It is kind of interesting though, to see what shows other people watch. You always have the threads of the really popular shows, but this will show you what people watch that really really doesn't get the buzz.

     

    And I am shocked Mole didn't go Whedon first overall (not a knock, I am plenty gay for the Whedon). I definitely don't see any Whedonverse getting back to him, while Entourage may have.

     

    I have a list of about 60 that I hope to get at least 10-12 from.

    Sure there are some goofy B stories (Teri's amnesia, anything involving Kim), but I have never had appointment viewing like I have with this show. Jack Bauer doing his thing just gets the blood flowing. Plus, I just finished season 2 again and the room still gets dusty when George Mason gets the silent clock.

     

    Considered going with something funny (likely the Office), but looking at a couple of lists I did up I realized once I got past the elite shows, there were more passable comedies than non-comedies. So we are going with position scarcity here as another factor.
