The Original USKL -- TSN Version 2011 (Chat Room)

[Stoney18]

Hi guys,

Bumping this up so USKL is still in everyone's thoughts. I'll be sending updated rosters out this weekend and I have MLB stats from last year with left/right splits I'll include with that.

Anyone have suggestions on someone to replace Cummings?

[Stoney18]

Guys,

Sorry about not getting rosters out when promised. I had a couple of week long work trips drop on my lap and put this on the back burner.

I am working on a file that will have last years MLB stats w/splits as well as the recently announced PRELIMINARY range ratings. I'll try and send that as a Christmas present.

As keeper leagues are cranking up for the new season I want to remind everyone that USKL draft starts after the new season has been released by SOM. Last year we jumped that gun.

Cubit & I have a deal as follows:

he gets: Brett Myers and Dan Haren, my 2nd round FA pick

I get: Ted's 1st round FA pick

Ted to confirm.

Deal confirmed. The Castle is going to attempt a comeback this season and we are looking to make some improvements.

[Detroit-Tigers]

Looking over my squad I have perfect pitching depth with 5 good SPs and 4 good RPs, but I am short on the hitting front.

Looking for .850+ OPS guys for 3B and Catcher though.

I have available:

Branyan, Russell (.875 OPS vs RH)
Wells, Vernon ( ~.900 ops vs RH)
Damon, Johnny
Denorfia, Chris
Podsednik, Scott
Sanchez, Gaby (.925 vs. LHP, only 27)
Torrealba, Yorvit
Freese, David
Callaspo, Alberto
Kottaras, George
Victorino, Shane (Excellent def 1 CF with .900 OPS vs LH)
Bradley, Milton
Blanks, Kyle (still only 24 but having an off year)
Shoppach, Kelly

and Joba Chamberlain!

Still early, I know, but whenever the chance arises, a reprise of the first few rounds of the FA Draft pick order would be appeciated. I seem a shade confused.

[AFDickie]

Tulowitzki and Alexi Ramirez so I'm looking to move Alexi and his 1 defense for a comparable CFer.

I don't have anyone as bad as Alexi, but I have 2 1-def CFers, Victorino and Chris Young which might be tradeable for Alexi +

Han Ram got a 3 on Def....

[Cubit]

We're looking for a lot, but with only Ellsbury and Brantley in CF that sure seems one area where The Castle is in real need for this 2011 first season!
