The 1st item of business is to determine the draft order ASAP. The slot selection order is below, so please reply with your selection (and try to copy/paste the updated selections for the next guy). For the new guys, the order for one league will be reverse of the other. For example, selecting the #3 slot in the NL draft will mean you pick from the #8 slot in the AL, etc...

1 - Stopthatquit
2 - RJA & DetUcf
3 - MilBestDrnkr
4 - 93-97___60-3
5 - BirdWings
6 - bluefront
7 - friends of MilBestDrnkr
8 - kellykip
9 - <open slot>
10 - coolhandkev

2011 Recap
Season 1 was very competitive throughout the year with 93-97 pulling away the final week of the season. 93-97 sat on top by a small margin for a majority of the season, but sat alongside BGX/PittProduct and BirdWings/Gateman in a virtual 3-way tie after Week 19. BGX/PittProduct then took control for the next 4 weeks while BW/Gate began to fall. MilBestDrnkr climbed into the race down the homestretch and 3 teams had a chance to win with 10 days to go, but in the end it was 93-97 taking down the inaugural title, with MilBest edging out BGX & PittProduct for 2nd place in the final few days.

I think you're already accounted for.

He told me a couple nights ago that he had a couple of buddies that wanted to do a team together... assuming that is you?

invites sent

Stopthatquit isn't able to participate, so RJA & DetUcf are up for 1st draft slot selection, followed by MilBestDrnkr. Let's try to get this order done in the next day or so if possible. So looks like we will have 9 teams this year, but if someone else still wants in, they can select their draft slot at that time.

I would be game for a partnership owner.

THESE TWO DUDES ARE A BUNCH OF BUMS

Birdwings and Bluefront - Where are you guys at?

You are on the clock.

excellent!

YESSSSSS!!!!!! Bitches! 1 hr countdown.

My knowledge of National League baseball is something else...

Me and my partner are looking to trade some NL players for some AL help. We have absurd pitching with Halladay, Kershaw, Kennedy, Sanchez, Worley, Vogelsong, and Billingsley, plus the 2nd most saves/holds. All are available for the right trade. Hitters available include Bryce Harper, Freeman, Howard, Furcal, LaHair. Someone at least humor me with an offer.

Starting pitching or hitting. We need both. Looking at your roster, I see you have Andrus and Andino, that's probably your surplus. We have Freeman starting now, with Ryan Howard expected back soon, and LaHair can play first. That's our surplus. I think we could work out some sort of deal there if you are interested. You can skype me if you want to discuss details, PM me if you can't guess my sn (it shouldn't be that hard.)

EDIT: Pretty sure we're going to want Andrus, I don't know if I like Andino that much. I didn't realize he was 28 years old.

What are you talking about? Because I use tons of advanced stats? Or because I highlight the rare positive stories regarding my favorite team?
