Yeah, I'm not ready to commit to that either. There is a lot of fun in the chase to the top. Sometimes more than even being on the top. This league is a minor league emphasis league. Of course there is going to be expected longevity to see these guys develop before you start over.

If I win this league again this season and we don't re-draft, I'm probably leaving.

Because there are so much better AL leagues on this board.

[bearsfan_51]

Ok. Let's say that keepers must be declared by March 7th (11 total, maximum 8 major leaguers) and we'll start the draft on March 10th. Good?

Is there anyone not planning on coming back? Charm is the only wild card, but he said he wanted to not that long ago.

[bearsfan_51]

Here is the money awarded to each team (I'll update it as I go along):

BF51 ($49)
1) Jonathan Papelbon ($19)
2) Juan Pierre ($20)- Woot
3) Frank Francisco ($10)- Double woot

djp ($2)
1) Erik Bedard ($2)

D-Unit ($2)
1) Jed Lowrie ($1)
2) Corey Patterson ($1)

Xio ($14)
1) Jim Thome ($11)- not bad
2) Melky Cabrera ($3)

1) Michael Cuddyer ($11)
2) Carlos Quentin ($19)
3) Jeremy Guthrie ($4)

GF1080 ($12)
1) Orlando Cabrera ($4)
2) David DeJesus ($6)
3) Mark Buehrle ($2)- OUCH

yo123 ($19)
1) Jason Kubel ($8)
2) Gio Gonzalez ($11)

3) charm
4) yo123
5) bf51
6) giantsfan 1080
7) marshallb

[bearsfan_51]

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. My team was better off with 12 keepers as I have a lot of depth, but no stars. David Price, Desmond Jennings, and Elvis Andrus are the only sure things.

[Giantsfan1080]

Ehh I forgot I had V-Mart in this league. That seriously sucks.

[D-Unit]

Thanks for all the hard work BF!

[bearsfan_51]

I wanna see if D has the swag to keep Adam Dunn or not.

Not when I get to add Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder.

Pretty sure this will be my 8 major leaguers:

1) Joe Mauer
2) Ian Kinsler
3) Kevin Youkilis
4) Curtis Granderson
5) CC Sabathia
6) Jeremy Hellickson
7) Brandon Morrow
8) Colby Lewis

[bearsfan_51]

That's a good group. I really don't understand how your team sucked so much last year other than Mauer sucking.

Mauer and.... ADAM DUNNNNNNNNN.....

That's - 600 points at least, just right there.

...and that group is just "ok" if you look carefully.

[Xiomera]

I want money back for losing Brad Penny to Japan.

[Xiomera]

My probable keepers:

1. Jose Bautista
2. Mark Teixeira
3. Justin Verlander
4. Jose Valverde
5. Jered Weaver
6. Edwin Jackson
7. Mariano Rivera
8. Derek Jeter / Nick Swisher / Nick Markakis

[bearsfan_51]

I'm interested in making a trade because it looks like of my keepers, 4 of them are Rays and 3 of them are Rangers. That's way too team-heavy.

And I made the money change Xio, no complaining when you get 11 bucks for Jim Thome.

[bearsfan_51]

My likely keepers are:

1. David Price
2. Elvis Andrus
3. Desmond Jennings
4. B.J. Upton
5. Nelson Cruz
6. Shin-Soo Choo
7. Neftali Feliz
8. James Shields

Not entirely sure because my 4-10 guys are largely interchangeable, but I think these are 8 strongest keepers.

Man your talent falls off fast....

[Giantsfan1080]

Edwin Jackson is in the NL now.

[bearsfan_51]

I think he meant Ervin Santana, since Edwin Jackson isn't even on his team.

That makes sense then.

Hahahaha, no one noticed I accidentally wrote Edwin Jackson (who is in the NL) instead of Ervin Santana?

Hahahaha

Whoops.

For serious now ...
1. Jose Bautista
2. Mark Teixeira
3. Justin Verlander
4. Jose Valverde
5. Jered Weaver
6. Ervin Santana
7. Mariano Rivera
8. Derek Jeter / Nick Swisher / Nick Markakis

[Xiomera]

Does my talent really fall off, BF? I mean, I did win the league by huge margins both years ... I've got arguably the two best starters and two best closers in the American League, plus Bautista (HR king?) and Teixeira.

You can laugh at me having Derek Jeter on there, but position scarcity makes him valuable still. The AL is light on shortstops.

Don't worry Xio, your ego is still over the top.
