"THOSE WERE THE DAYS" LEAGUE

at 1030 am this morning

Looks like the wrong version of RD 12 was copied and pasted. Fortunately it worked out okay.

Yeah I think they just get overlooked in the copy/paste cycle when they come in late sometimes.

My draft strategy has been to punt completely on 2007 in favor of always taking guys with maximum playable seasons from 2008 on (over $2m). Focused on outfielders in the early rounds to build a decent core offense. Anyone else have a specific strategy? Anyone loading on a particular year to get a killer roster for a single championship run? I remember doing that in the déjà vu league for the 2010 season… And I did win the championship.

I've played 3 different strategies in long-term leagues like this:

a) Killer rosters up front - great if it works, sucks long term

b) Best players who start strong and last forever -- loses up front to the short-term thinkers, loses long-term to the long-term thinkers

c) Best players for seasons 3 -8 -- which I hope I'm working on this time -- which most recently gave me a team with 6 straight playoff appearances

I'm hoping that 2009 will be a fine year for me, followed by good seasons for several years!
