• I don't really know what to make of Hellickson/Santana for Corcino/Straily/Ethier. Corcino and Straily seem pretty fringy as far as this format goes. I have to call it a win for Lidle because he got far and away the best guy in the deal (Santana) but

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 28, 2013 10:23 AM

• Cano for Miller/Singleton seems pretty even, though I'd take the Cano side--even at $50 or whatever, dude's probably underpaid. Miller and Singleton are cheap, promising guys who could contribute this year, but I would have wanted a little bit more.

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 28, 2013 10:21 AM

• some interesting deals over the past few days

• Doesn't matter, I don't think. When I removed one of them, the two Madson's combined into one; I then put that one back onto Lidle's team, so we're all set.

  Poster Nutbag on March 24, 2013 12:20 AM

• So I'm going to do that now. I ask that no one try to claim Madson if he actually hits the wire, and no one start an auction for him afterwards. Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

  Plakata on March 23, 2013 6:51 PM

• Hey Guys, Something of a weird situation where A Lidle ended up with two Ryan Madsons. Madson was not a keeper, and when Lidle won the auction on him, he appeared as two guys. Niv is aware of the situation, and suggests I just remove one of them.

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 21, 2013 12:33 PM

• some kind of opt-in buy-in system for the top 3 spots could be good too (i.e., you only get a payout if you bought in). would need to get cracking on that very soon though

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 21, 2013 2:47 AM

• it is probably too late/not feasible to institute a buy-in (unfair to owners who inherited crummy rosters, too late) but i'd be down for some kind of non-monetary incentive (maybe last place needs to post a video of himself doing something embarrassing?)

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 21, 2013 2:46 AM

• Would like to avoid a situation in which some teams only treat first place as a worthy goal, others are fighting to secure second/third/fourth even with no hope of winning the whole league.

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 20, 2013 3:40 AM

• also, I don't care how arbitrarily this is decided, but can we have some clarification on which spots (1-12) "matter"? I just want everyone to be on the same page

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 20, 2013 3:39 AM

• cool! thanks guys! fun draft. it was fun talking to those of you who were in the google hangout too. maybe we could do some kind informal league chat every month or two? i dunno. nice to be able to match some faces and voices to the teams

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on March 20, 2013 1:56 AM

  Plakata on March 1, 2013 3:37 PM

• Cool, I got that. I was just wondering if that was still a go since it wasn't set here. I commish two leagues here and know time slots can sometimes get booked fast.

• Joe sent out an email about 2 weeks ago saying Tuesday, March 19th, 8pm EST.

  Chicago Socks on February 25, 2013 3:36 PM

• So...draft time?

  Ottoneu's Worst Nightmare on February 25, 2013 2:09 PM

• Sickels is a bit too stat-dependent for my liking, but I like all the free stuff he puts on his website and his general attitude is much more discussion/debate-friendly than Law's

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on February 9, 2013 8:56 AM

• I like Parks more than Goldstein. Goldstein had a lot of industry contacts but I was never totally confident in his baseball acumen. He also made some weird decisions in his rankings (like leaving Bogaerts out of his midseason top 50 last year)

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on February 9, 2013 8:55 AM

• Wow, nice. Thanks!

  Chicago Socks on February 9, 2013 1:01 AM

• Re: draft. I've got a Google spreadsheet that we use in other leagues to coordinate times. I made one for this league if that helps. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtT_ngJABMcJdHAyZjF0V0RIa0tFRnVjR0J5c3oyQWc&usp=sharing

  Ottoneu's Worst Nightmare on February 8, 2013 10:59 PM

• But I also try to find as many sets of prospect rankings as I can, because more opinions > just 1 opinion.

  Chicago Socks on February 8, 2013 4:39 AM

• I read what Law writes, but I preferred Goldstein to Law most days. Law always seems a bit too pleased with himself.

  Chicago Socks on February 8, 2013 4:38 AM

• I listen to what other owners have to say. Knowing how you value your player(s) and other players in this league is every bit as valuable as how much I value them

  Chicago Socks on February 8, 2013 4:37 AM

• i prefer sickles over K Law

  Bunt Cake on February 7, 2013 9:07 PM

• No, I've been checking in with owners that have slight scheduling issues, and haven't found a happy medium just yet.

  Plakata on February 7, 2013 6:45 PM

• Have we scheduled the draft yet?

  Poster Nutbag on February 7, 2013 3:36 PM

• What do people think of Parks so far?

  Plakata on February 7, 2013 2:19 PM

• ...that, and I don't have a whole lot of prospects on my team from that list (yet).

  The Evil Guys on February 7, 2013 10:17 AM

• A couple. Don't get me wrong, I use Law and I do like him. And who the hell cares what I think (unless or until I win a few titles here, at least)? I just think he's one of those guys people tend to cling to a little much.

  The Evil Guys on February 7, 2013 10:17 AM

• is there a source for prospect info you like more?

  Kochanowicz Cowboys on February 7, 2013 9:49 AM

• KLaw is massively overrated anyway.

  The Evil Guys on February 6, 2013 9:58 PM

• My apologies: that should be 5 of the top 6.
