Yes Clemens is good, but he's also more expensive than McClain... McClain is rated slightly ahead of Clemens in my park. But he's still out there- great fit for your park! :wink: I'm also not a big fan of pitchers with #s on their strong side. I don't know if that's a rational fear or not...

Plus, don't underestimate the value of those S9s.

Visits to Petrosian's place will be painful for sure. Especially those cheap #4 guys... I lucked out being in a pitchers' park league- there is some offense on my squad that you are not realizing. Bris Lord- better than you think! :wink:

Joe I'm about to cut Boggs loose for my one pre-waiver dump, if you want him I'll give him to you for a salary dump.

As much as I'd like Wade, I'm not sure I can afford him either.

Thanks anyway,

Jet

Pretty content with how my team is setup - might make a couple of minor changes before the season starts, but otherwise I think I am ready to go. :)

Well due to some annoying coincidence of circumstances... my Cherry Hill Ratings Busters entirely missed the waivers period yesterday... that'll help my team for sure :( :roll:

I spent the midnight hour last night deciding on which scrub 2B will be on the field on opening day... not happy with my GM's discipline to show up on waiver night!

I'm happy with my team. Will be interested to see how everybody rates if Joe has time to do a quick rating of this league.

I'm happy enough with my team although, not getting Terry and Steinfeldt caused me more consternation than I thought it would. Interestingly enough I got most of my players which probably means that I picked lousy ones! :(

Glad no one had Chance. I used him to replace Steiny in the 3 spot. Not sure Rose will be adequate in the 2 spot. More DPs than I'd like, but I needed another injury proof guy once I'd lost Terry. You guys snapped up most of the good players who can't get injured for long so I think our season will hinge on how many injuries we have.

This is different enough from 200x that I'm not real sure about my bench or pen, but we'll cross our fingers. Anyone ready to rip my team apart and tell me what a foolish rookie I am? Go ahead, this is a learning experience for me.

I'll make time to gen up the ratings. The hard part will be doing the ratings for the few hitters parks. I don't really want to spend the time to do each team's parks individually, but perhaps I will. :?

Ouch. :shock:

Don't worry Joe, injuries are irrelevant. At least, I've always treated them as such. :D

by **Munich_Man** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 6:09 pm

I didn't show up for waivers either. I've found that's pretty irrelevant as well. Haven't made a single Frenzy or Waivers since ATGIII started.

Then again, I've been in quite a few live drafts and theme leagues...

Still, at least half my 10 active teams (including this one) didn't bother showing up.

Just checked my roster, only four guys who can't go down for 15... Not bad for one of my teams, usually only two or three. :D
