I take it you're a Yankee fan with 4 Yanks on your team and 3 ex-Yanks.  Juan Rivera is coming off surgery and I think he's gonna be on the shelf to start the year.  I think.  You may wanna check that out.

I waited till very very late to grab a catcher and posada was the last available.


Damon and Matsui were both the best OF available at the time



I am a Yankee fan but I honestly didnt do that on purpose, just kind of how the luck of the draw went.


Thanks for the heads up on Rivera.


I know Nick Johnson is also on The DL

Ill probably drop Villarreal and pick up another bat to play till they get back.

Hey D, I may not be able to make the draft in an hour. We've got bad weather moving through Dallas so i'm about to shut down the computer to be safe until it passes. It will auto draft from my player rankings if i can't make it right?

^
thats fine dude.

Just check and see who all u get.

Looks like ill make it. Its just rain now no thunderstorms.

someone joined last minute and on  yahoo head to head leagues, if u have an uneven amount of people, it cancels your draft and reschedules it.


We will absolutely have it Sunday night though


Can u make it at 8pm Eastern or 11pm Eastern?

Which would be best for u?

If i have to Ill limit the amount of players till 6 that way we won't have that problem again.

[tim_m]

I can make either time.

[D]

Cool!

I'll let u know Tomorrow night


I am waiting on one of my friends to see if he has to work or not

If he does it will be 11:00

if he doesnt it will be 8:00


Hopefully I can find one more person.

[tim_m]

ok cool

i see we're up to 6 thats good. everyone won't have such a stacked team now.

[D]

I put the limit at 8.


If nobody joins by Sunday say at 1 oclock, Ill just close registration and we will roll with 6 that way a 7th person doesnt join and mess up our start time again.

Hopefully two more will join though.

[tim_m]

I see you got two more to join.

Advice for everyone: if no one has done it in your league, pick up B.J. Upton.  In Yahoo leagues, he's eligible at 3B and now 2B, could pick up SS before the end of the season.
