I can't even find that guy on googleSteve Pearce, plays for the Astros. Came up with the Pirates, kinda bounced around this year though. One of the good kids from the neighborhood, if you will.'49er fan said:'gibfunk said:who's the MLB player?
This. And I'm in 15 leagues, some of them with 30+ roster spots, try drafting 15 leagues right before the season starts.'Warrior said:
Just when you think you've seen it all, leagues that are afraid to draft before EVERYTHING has been spelled out for them by every analyst under the sun and 4 weeks of preseason games have been played to back it up and remove any risk now show up after taking their summer vacation to talk crap at folks that don't need their hand held. Good one.Whats funnier is ya probably play in a wiffle ball league with nine starters and the best team very likely won't win anyway.'ppierce said:
Yeah, but you are also eliminating a lot of skill. Owners with good player assessment and projection skills. There are a lot of positional battles that are 50/50 (or similar) at the time camp opens, but those get ironed out by the end of preseason. Skilled owners can hit on those more than 50% of the time.
That's nothing. I play in a quadruple-reverse, double down, triple up, wear-your-jock-to-the-draft smoke and mirrors league. We just held our draft for the 2030 season...try going to JFL games and prying information out every parents' son who thinks their kid is god's gift to the world.'ppierce said:Typical guppy.
Waaah, waaah, you cry, this game is too hard!
Sorry son, but I don't have to dumb down The Sport just so noobs like you have a chance at keeping up.
I play in a $4,000 entry, Super-WCOFF, triple-reverse, double down, mirror league with a modified PPFDR base 8 scoring system, and we just held our draft in June. For the 2016 season. You like Michael Eubank's chances with Arizona State? I drafted him after studying up on him, after he signed his letter of intent, last year. You think that maybe going with a WR in the first two rounds instead of back-to-back RBs is somehow new thinking in fantasy? Well, do you have the balls to do what I did this year when I didn't take my first RB until the sixth round (Derrick Green, Hermitage High School in Richmond)? You've probably never even heard of Ricky Seals-Jones, Marquez North, or Laquon Treadwell, yet not only did I draft them this year to form my future WR core, I've also started referring to them by fantasy board nicknames (RSJ1, The Great Black North, & Nitron Laquon). Hell, guys like you are going to be the poor schmucks who are searching this board five years from now for info on some great RB you just heard of out of the middle of the woods in Oregon, and the FBG search result box is going to come up with this very post, where I brag about nabbing Thomas Tyner of the Aloha Warriors at the 25.32/26.01 turn a full two months before he lit up Lincoln High for 191 yards/2 TDs or Tualatin for 295 rushing yards, a reception, & a TD. You'll be wondering about his durability and I'll remember a phone call I made back when you were just hearing the name "Trent Richardson" for the first time to the kid's doctor in Beaverton about the sprain he suffered in his left ankle in 2010.
Let me give you a tip, IT = INFO, and there's no "expires by" date on it.
