There's a thread by Ineluki on the Strat forum posting his team. You can check out the other rosters as well. I'm going to back and see if anyone drafted Linecum.

Never mind a link to the players....I haven't a clue what movies James Cameron did (like who wastes time on who produces the movie, I hardly even care who acts in them). I will go to Wikipedia to see what he has done: truthfully I had no idea who did Avatar (until this league got set up) although I did like the movie!

Ecstatic to get Tulowitzki...I'm willing to pay for that combo of offense and SS Defense

WOW...only a couple of picks away, good progress for an opening day, and on a weekend. wonder if there'll be any shortstops left by the 10th pick...

He directed these:

Avatar (2009)
Titanic (1997)
True Lies (1994)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
The Abyss (1989)
Aliens (1986)
The Terminator (1984)

I see shortstops are going fast - and for good reason. I picked Tulowitzki in the RiggoDrill Challenge League that starts Monday; I wanted to try someone different in this league. In the RiggoDrill Challenge 24-person league, there was only one shortstop better than 3e26 on defense and more than .81 in price not chosen (surprisingly, that was Hanley Ramirez).

Hey, we're already more than 7% done with the live draft!

[MEAT]

while we're meandering through 96 selections, in a little less time than it takes to sit through avatar, here's some video entertainment, regrettably NOT in 3-D, but clearly in blazing A-hole D, which is likely the name of my team. proudly, ive yet to see the groundbreaking flick, although someday I'll probably break down and invest half a day...

let's see if this works better than the still...cameron wouldn't have these issues!

It's all shortstops and starting pitching so far. Hm..nobody going for Mauer? Somebody has to catch Lincecum and Greinke.

[exwallman]

Isn't this a $60 million league....why is everybody going so deep in the pocket book.

[dharmabums]

It's almost like you have to be brave to choose someone cheap. All these big guns going early. :o
