Event 5, League 7 (AL only)

[quote:94222b3cf3]What does any/everyone else think so far?[/quote:94222b3cf3]

I too was scratching my head throughout this live draft. I watched in horror as everyone on my list of picks for SS were taken one by one. I've ended up with some complete no-name at that position.

I think everyone is going to think that their team is going to be terrible.

Maybe superstar players will really perform to expectations in this league where it seems impossible to spend all $80m.

I also fell into the trap of picking players that are "good value for money" without really thinking that I'd have $12m left over at the end.

I too would do things differently if we did this all over again.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnn.

I sent J a message in our other league. We just did a trade last week, so he was here/there then. Maybe he took some time off. Out teams are at the bottom of the pack in that league.

Let me preface this by saying I hope everything is OK with JServi. Otherwise, here is a post from JServi in another Tour Event league:

...Ok, now for my other opinion....I say advertise and get someone new in here.[/quote:2aa8f73e89]

This really sucks, but do we need to consider this possibility? Can we get someone to take over a team that has already been mostly drafted?

For what it's worth...

I've played w/ [b:00d4020884]JServi[/b:00d4020884] a few times in the past and do not recall any difficulties.

I'm also reminded of the posts last year (during the hurricane) chiding a missing player that ended with "Does he live in New Orleans?"

Hopefully all is well with him and we'll fill by tomorrow night. If not, we can defer to [b:00d4020884]Teepack[/b:00d4020884] (and maybe re-roll for draft spots and re-pick using the NL guys!!) :o

I'm hoping he'll be back by tomorrow to check in and fill. In the meantime, I'm working on the two teams I've autodrafted and filled since this event started and hoping to eek my win pct back over .500.


:shock: :shock: :shock:

The league is now full.
Sorry but I unexpected had to go to the Dr on Tuesday and ended up being hospitalized until today. I am sitting here all sore and bandaged from surgery and loaded my team, so I wouldnt hold up the league.

Sorry guys, but things happen. I am usually pretty active and dont hold things up. But reading some of your posts, its as if, the world would end if we didnt get this started. Before this happened I was checking every night and every morning waiting for my turn to post. I might not have checked Tuesday morning with everything happening, but I have tried my best.

No problem from my end dude. I had the same problem which actaully helped put us back to this week. :lol:

But, how bought some of those mummy pictures so we can .. hopefully.. laugh :D or cry :cry: with ya.

Good luck all.

P.S.... who did I draft after my 17...... who knows.

[blsmith7]

Sorry Jservi, but don't take anything personally. As you know from your last league, things happen and guys bail. As you said, your usually pretty active, which is why there was concern, and we have to consider all possibilities.

With that out of the way, I hope all is OK with you and we're glad to have you back.

Jservi:

Hope you are feeling better. Glad you are onboard.

OK guys, let's have fun filling our teams with mediocre players!
