We aren't going to rid ourselves of anyone. People tend to get busy with work or family obligations that happen to pop up unexpectedly. That's life. We aren't gonna boot someone just because they got busy or because they aren't an overly active poster anymore. That's just ludicrous. Stephen and MJ are damn competitive members of the league and are typically in the playoff contention every season. The only time we ever actually have to rid ourselves of someone is if they absolutely just vanish and never return. If you want someone to be aware that its there pick shoot them a pm. I have my pm's set up so I get an email to my main email account. Most if not everyone has there's set up like that. Just send them a pm if you noticed they haven't checked the board in a few days. Moving on... treble very well might have gotten an incredible late 5th round draft pick. I was really hoping he might fall to the next round when I get to draft, but I knew it wouldn’t happen. If Jones does anything close to what he did 2 years ago and gets that average back up to acceptable levels, he's gonna be a huge steal at round 5.

I just sent him a pm incase no one else did. We had some really quick picks from the end of Round 4 up until where we're at now. He probably didn't realize it had gotten so far that soon. We're doing pretty well on time I think. We shouldn't have a problem getting the draft done prior to opening day. Since MJ's pick was pending because he went over the 24 hour time limit, Stephen Joseph technically went on the clock immediately following Cena's pick. From what I can tell, the two people that haven't registered in the yahoo league are Precious Roy and Stephen Joseph. I could be wrong though. League ID: 14896 Password: tsm

I've sent him a couple of messages, so just keep the draft going. I told him whenever he gets back on the board to jump right in and draft.

This league is turning into the NBA's Western Conference... Constant trades by the top contenders in the playoff race.

King sent me his pick. King selects... Bobby Jenks, RP

Team Random Hero selects... Pedro Martinez, SP, NYM *please pitch like you did in september ALL season*

Edit.

Rickie Weeks, 2B, Brewers

Haha, that's great. Best picture by far.

Try again he's taken. He's a Round 9 keeper for Will Scarlet's team.

Team Random Hero selects...Jason Bay, OF

Team Random Hero Selects Francisco Rodriguez, RP, Angels K-Rod is stoked to be on my team.

Why the hell is the benoit toxicology thread 175 fucking pages? Ridiculous.

Yes! I love MLB strike-out king Adam Dunn! Need a whiff? He's your man! I always love his stat lines of 1-4. 3 K's and 1 HR. Legendary.

Alright the yahoo league is set up. I just copied the settings from last season and moved the waiver wire time up 1 day. You guys can start signing up. League ID: 14896 Password: tsm EDIT: Also, Yahoo has a feature this year where you can link the history of leagues in the past to a current league. There's a little drop down box right below the settings link on the main league page. I thought it was a neat feature.

CanadianChris sent me a huge list of ranked players since he's on vacation. CanadianChris selects... Aramis Ramirez, 3B

No not anymore. Prior to the draft you could. Right now is all about drafting. The deadline for any trades for players or draft picks was 5pm Eastern on Sunday, Feb 3rd. Once the draft is over and the players are entered in the league page the trade window will open back up.

With their first pick, Team Random Hero selects... Carlos Lee, OF Home run swing, even on the golf course.

Somehow the date got fucked up and its posting out of order. We all just traveled back in time. "Time is now: 3rd February 2008 - 01:32 AM"

umm... I just posted twice. Precious Roy's and my picks and both posts appear to have vanished...

Team Random Hero selects... Scott Rolen, 3B

Alright so that's 24 hours. King's been pm'ed. Moving on... Precious Roy sent me his pick so, Band of Broheims select... Melky Cabrera, OF, Yanks

I was pretty surprised with Lesnar. I really didn't think he'd win his first UFC match, however I sure as hell didn't think he'd look that good. I think Mir was caught off guard how quick Lesnar was with his boxing and his take downs. As soon as Brock learns any sort of patience and ground defense, I think he's going to be an extremely dangerous heavyweight. Mir was overpowered and completely outmatched in that fight. All Frank could do was hope to god Brock's inexperience left some sort of submission opening and eventually it did. Mir took a hell of a pounding in the short amount of time that fight went. Huge win for Mir though. I look forward to seeing who Mir and Lesnar face next. Those knees from Boetsch... devastating. Sylvia looked pretty good I thought. I had a feeling as long as he didn't screw up on the ground he was easily going to win the fight. He ended up screwing up on the ground and got choked out. Tim looked really focused though and could essentially do anything he wanted in the fight. No way Nogueira could win that fight without a tapout.

Keepers are completely off limits. They're already part of a team. Any baseball player's name that is already in post 1 or post 2 is already on a team and cannot be drafted.

The yahoo league will get created once yahoo has that stuff up. There's a list of players that are keepers in the 2nd post. I think they normally get the league pages up around the middle of February. Until then you'll have to find an alternate source for player rankings. I think yahoo has already started doing their power rankings and I've already seen the Baseball Magazines starting to hit stores.
