Win Loob's Money Invitational IV

[wasting air]

My team is ready, field and all, just waiting for instructions, like leave us alone, go away, things like that :lol:

Not sure just what you mean by weakest and strongest field Steve but from what I have seen so far there are a few well used parks in here ( uscell, petco for example) and a few that I have rarely seen like Tropicana and Rogers. On the other hand as leehaak stated where he has had trouble in the Tropicana type parks I have not done a pitchers park so I suppose those could be considered weakest in this case. Not quite sure where we are at as far as teams loaded Mr. Leo . I am pretty sure we will be getting the central loaded today. A final note for the morning, I hope not too many people have Jim Thome as their top pick. I would hate to have to settle for someone else if I missed out on him. :P :wink:

The parks I've had trouble with this year are those parks which hosted Major League Baseball teams in 2005. That is to say... all of them. Seriously though, I tried a couple of the lefty slanted pitchers parks, and didn't have much luck, but I feel like I have an idea of how to build a team there, so we'll give it a go. It's sort of a PNC lite, with a much smaller advantage to lefties, and far less hitting all around.

We'll see how the results go. They have to be better than last time.

Creating my team as I type this, and checked the status of the league filling, the east is waiting on BigMahon, to fill it, and then a password to the central....

Just spoke to Lou on the phone. I hafta work 5-midnight, with no internet access, hence why I called him. If I am personnally unable to enter the league by 4 PM EST, I am going to call Lou again, and he will do it for me. He also will be at work, but has internet access...

[Loobee]

No probs Mr. Leo . My team building has taken many different forms just in the last day. Alot of my usual draft choices are pretty much ng in this league for me. Lee not sure if you seen Bernies post on success rates for the parks but you may have your work cut out for you in the Trop. Same with Mr. Leo . But Leo has never been in a league that he didnt think was a pushover :lol: . Just waiting on Big to fill the east . He has been busy but I am sure he will be in very shortly!

[bigmahon]

Hey guys, I'll be in shortly. Gotta put the kids to bed, and then I'll get right on it. :wink:

[bigmahon]

OK, East is full, and Central has the password. :wink:

[Leo / loob]

Mr Leo is in

[HUDAMAN]

I'm in, Central full, I shall 'pass' the word.

We are ready to draft !!!!! :D Excellent job everyone. We got this thing set up and loaded without a single snag. These types of leagues are so much more fun and easier to run when you have a group of 12 like this group. Does anyone care to disclose who they put as their #1 pick or should we not bother? I have to tell the truth and admit that in my earlier post of putting Thome as my #1 was a bit of a fib. I was hoping to throw everyone else off of picking him so I can nab him in waivers :lol:
