I will say that loving bomber teams the way I do, Coach has put together some to marvel at! In spite of his weaselness! :lol:

[traderj]

Hopefully I can score enough runs to keep up with you bomber boys, I have never had Greenberg on any of my teams (actually I may have had him on a Tiger theme league team, I'll have to check), but he should do pretty well in my park. :wink: We are stopping at 8, right Joe?

[traderj]

Just checked, never used him in III. :shock:

[size=18:b74edd5ea1]Yes, we are stopping at eight slow draft rounds. 8) I like to keep a balance between the slow, the "Quick", and Autodraft so the frenzy while not real important does have value for some. :) [/size:b74edd5ea1]

Weaselness?[b:a10ea8f598] What did Bob Hope say about when they stop talking about you? GORILLA BALL LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The two greatest things in life next to sex, is a long rising, majestic clout that reaches the farside of the bleachers. The other is a line drive hit so hard it takes off and keeps going. Ya![/b:a10ea8f598]

Wait! Were you still talking sex here or baseball?? :?

Good Job as usual guys, we're down to the last few picks before the "Quick Draft." We should easily finish the eight rounds by Friday, again with No Clock, just the way I (we) like it. :)

Thanks to Everyone for their co-operation. 8)

Also a thanks this time around to ModMark for keeping the completed rounds thread up to date and for creating the break down list of drafted players by position, very nice. 8)

No problem, but thanks, Joe. This is always one of my more enjoyable leagues, with a great bunch of guys...even if my teams usually do get trounced. :)

I was thinking about a league, similar to the one Bobby ran before, where no one makes any moves post draft. What you get during the AD is what you start the season with. [b:5a6e2dfe09]However, I was thinking of adding the twist where everyone uses the quick pick button to select their team.[/b:5a6e2dfe09] ONE click, and that's your team, no re-dos, no adjustments post draft. Bobby thought it sounded challenging, but pointed out the obvious, that you would REALLY need to have 12 guys you trust, because everyone would be on the honor system, in re: to ONLY hitting the quick pick button once. I think, with a good group of trustworthy managers, it would be very challenging. What are your thoughts on this? Is it doable? Would there be enough interest in the community? Was thinking of making it an $80m league, no DH. As an option, could allow some limited moves 2-3 times during the season, probably around the (40, 80, 120 game breaks?), with 1-3 FA moves allowed, based on the league rankings at that point. Your input appreciated. :)

About the only interesting part of this game is the tinkering we get to do with teams prior to the start of the season. Just hitting a button and having a team, just wouldn't interest me much. But, that's just me......
