I AM NEVER SENDING YOU DELICIOUS SAUSAGE AGAIN!

Made jambalaya with the final package, which I was worried was spoiled since my garage fridge went down. Not only was it NOT spoiled, but it helped make some delicious jambalaya. Thanks again, GB. I might trade this cat to you in May when I realize my team is terrible. Will collude for sausage.

I've never seen a team punt all hitting categories before.

So are all the teams with three hitters punting the pitching categories then?

Still early, but we have 800 premium innings now. Hoping to get another top ten starter next round, and then a closer. :thumbup:

THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ATTEMPTED BEFORE!

 
I think it's about time for a paradigm shift in fantasy sports and Dr. Greektown might just be the right team to make it happen.

 
Definitely interested to see where Dr. Greco go with this.

Only getting 4 categories out of your first 4 picks though...

 
I used to not draft pitching till round 10 or 11. All offense, no filler. Worked for a few years, but then the league got better and I got buried.

Fn Pickles.

 
The fact that you were able to get Strasburg and Verlander at the 3/4 turn showed that there was not nearly as much value in Darvish and Hernandez at the 1/2 turn as you originally thought.

I'm definitely interested to see how your revolutionary new strategy turns out. You should dominate at least 3 of 5 pitching categories.

A guy in one of my locals went SP 1st 6 picks last year. He finished 4th. Was able to max out the 4 SP cats and steal a few pts in AVG ( obp for us), SB, and saves. He knew he'd take 1 in HR/RBI but he also got 1 in runs. The big hitters have you pretty buried in that even if you go all leadoff hitters.

Well....unless Strassburg gets hurt again or Verlander's stormy relationship with Kate Upton destroys another summer. But yeah, they look pretty good in pitching and have a better hitting team than Cosjobs.

Maybe.

But so far three teams have 4 players. The average draft positions across 5 websites returns a 34 ADP for each GM player, 35 for us and a 47 for X. So we did probably have value overall in the 4 picks, maybe just not with the Hernandez pick in particular. I love Hernandez this year though, so that is personal preference.

Try something different, it's at worst great $50 shtick. :thumbup:

Truck punted SP one summer and loaded up on closers and RP. Can't remember how he did, but he was committed.

Shuke is probably sitting in an office right now listening to the Honda dealership's closer sell him on an extended warranty and prepaid maintenance for his new ride.

There is nothing worse than the car buying process. Nothing. Colorectal exams are more enjoyable.

Buying an engagement ring was worse IMO. Exact same process except most people know at least something about the car they are being sold.
 
I just erased three years of emails from my discojews acoount and came across a bunch of forrestmail I never looked at! :excited:
