The Flying Elvis Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'd be interested. Not a very schticky poster around these parts with any real reputation or anything but I've been hanging round FBG's for quite a long time. Like to think I know my baseball and am a decently active poster in this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fariq Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Do you play at ESPN or Yahoo or somewhere else? Edit: What is BBT? Also, how do you handle adding Cubans or Japan League players? Does someone keep a spreadsheet of who has who? League sounds intriguing. Please keep me in mind for a spot.

Eephus Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 League is hosted on CBS. BBT is a defunct site that pre-dates this board.We track players not in the CBS database on the league site. With Tanaka and the Cubans coming in this year, there's currently nobody on the list but there usually are a handful of names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flying Elvis Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Not sure if the first one went through because I got a non responding from Safari but if it did it went to the wisruthroll address... I rolled again if it didn't go through and got a 927. So if my first roll went through to the email I will take that but if not I think it is 927.

It reopens in March with a one-round draft from worst to first to allow people to make transactions. You guys took all the good players this year, rendering it a fairly useless exercise this season. In years that we don't have a dispersal draft, the bottom five or so usually end up with a pretty useful player out of all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flying Elvis Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'd like to get some younger bats on my team. I have some talent to deal that could really help a team that needs pitching this year. Probably my highest end chip is Cliff Lee. Can also help people out with saves as well. Willing to deal most others though too. Not looking to tear everything down and rebuild but some young major league hitters or pitchers would help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
