Not on the list, but I tried Cleon Jones on a Fenway 67 team and he's doing alright. Cuyler always rocks for me.

editor's note: that's premier not premiere (sorry, I really am an editor and it's a pet peeve of mine)

raslavens--
We are baseball fans here, and one of our pet peeves is people who obsess on unimportant details, rather than the real subject at hand--i.e. everydoby knew what I meant.
If you have a compulsion to correct spelling, this is perhaps not the ideal venue to obsess on it.
And actually, premiere comes from the ancient slavic word "Premeereeskie" meaning to extract the best bear meat from the adomenial area after a kill.
ADOBE took this one step further by calling their video editing program ADOBE PREMIERE, which really makes sense in that video editing is extracting the best meat from a plethora of bad takes lathered with soft focus, abrupt camera moves and mumbled dialogue.

MtheB -- LOL! I'm sorry but I have to defend the language and educate every chance I get. It's my legacy. A sad legacy at that. Certainly my SOM record is no legacy. Damn, now I'm hungry for a bear hamburger. They're delicious and low in fat. (Save the bison!)

Raslaven--
recommend it with HP sauce in particular... :-)
No need to defend the language here, we are beyond edutification.

I think EB WHITE said it best:

"Language for some is not in the words and letters, but in the sounds and rythym of it all"

I voted for Cobb. Would like Ricky but every time I have used him HAL clobbered me with the 15 game injury. And I know you said money did not matter but when you are committing that much money for a player it is hard to have enough left over for a decent replacement to carry you through that 15 game injury.

now if this were a 200 mil league where I could afford say Brock as the replacement....

There's your next theme league. All your guys have to be leadoff hitters, ok, and under $6.99m. No please no!!!
