    Well dan has his little program, lets see what it says. Dan show us a Offensive ranking.
    im at work. I don't have it on me, but you are way ahead in HR's and RBI's. A little above average in OBP. Way down in Steals and Runs.

    Alamo, I thought your team sucked when I put it into the thing because your infield has a ton of holes. But surprisingly your outfield balanced out your lineup and you are around league average for all categories.

    I'll post the breakdown later.

    Whott looks to have the worst team though which is surprising since he did so well last year. Seems like an odd strategy to punt 3 categories (obs, HR, RBI) to win 1(steals), but we can wait and see. Maybe he knows something we dont

    I remember last year someone posted a post draft rankings of the team. Can we get someone to do that and try not to be biased?
    I did it last year. The projections weren't particularly close:

    http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...5&postcount=40

    It had ATrain winning, alamo finishing 3rd, Bashers finishing 6th, and whottt finishing 9th. I'm pretty sure that those were the 4 teams that made the playoffs.

    It also had my team (AFraud's Roiders -- ah, irony!) finishing 2nd.

    Like I say, not close.

    Well not bad, had I beat Alamo thats what would have happened, me winning and Alamo taking 3rd if I remember the finals matchups. You predecited 2 out of the 4 playoff teams, thats good for me. If you have time to do it again, it would be awesome .

    ESPN's fantasy page has a Draft Analyzer tool. If someone has the time to mess with it, go for it.

    You have to have an ESPN insider account. If anyone is going to do it, be sure to adjust the scoring settings to match the settings we'll use this season.

    I entered our settings and draft and as expected, I am predicted to come out on top. I wasn't able to add- Chapman, Strasburgh or Joe Nathan...so those were skipped. Also, I wasn't able to do 'net saves' so I just used Saves.

    Here is the overall standings ESPN gave

    Kenny Powers- 78
    Bashers- 76.5
    Happy Harry 73.5
    Dykstra 71.5
    Holliday's- 71.5
    Texas Hexes- 66.5
    Legends 66
    A-Train- 64.5
    Alamo- 57
    Screwballs- 57
    Reds- 55
    Spitball- 43

    Here are the leaders for each category

    Overall hitting: Texas Hexes
    OBP: Legends
    HR: A-Train
    RBI: A-Train
    R: Texas Hexes
    SB: Holliday's Mitts

    * Keep in mind that this is overall roster. So it might not be accurate as some teams took more hitters than Pitchers, thus ac ulating stats on the bench

    Overall Pitching: Bashers
    ERA: Happy Harry
    Whip: Bashers
    K: Bashers
    W: Legends
    SV: Alamo

    you have to be kidding. Later picks in a snake draft are better than earlier picks. Your first 4 picks could have been: Mark Teixeira
    I don't like Mark Teixiera. I had David Wright and Ichirico last year. David Wright being the worst first round pick I have ever had in this league.


    David Wright, Pedroia and Ichiro or someone else who could give you the same number Carl Crawford will.
    It just so happens Carl Crawford kicked the out of my team last year in the championship game. That is not going to happen again this year.


    And BTW, I lead the league in OBP last year and got smoked in that category in the championship as well.

    Instead you wasted your picks with Ian Kinsler who will miss 30 games like he does every year and kill your OBP
    Ian Kinsler didn't miss 30 games last year. And there's more than one category.

    backed that up with Carl Crawford who is only good for one category which you could have gotten at any point in the draft...which you did with Morgan and Davis. You basically threw away your 2nd round pick on a base stealer. You backed that pick up with Zobrist who is good, but only had one good year and can fall victim to the sop re slump
    True, Ben Zobrist is the only major league player that mgiht fall victim to the sop re slump. Every other player in the league doesn't have a ty season.

    .....and you backed that up with Mark Reynolds who just like Kinsler will kill your OBP.
    We'll see about that...generally guys that bomb 44 HR in a season get a walked a little more than they did the previous year.


    You will be out of this by June unless you can work some trades or the waiver wire.
    It's hilarious that you think someone can be out of it by June. Says alot about you.

    I think its funny how Whott and TDan carried the fued over from last year. I dont think I really had a rival last year. Timvp and Mel were my year 1 rivals but Mel wasnt much of a rival last year. Alamo was a respected rival but we rooted for each other. I think since I stole what he wanted in the draft ill pick Reds to be one of my Rivals.

    Not much of a rival? you, I was in the playoff hunt till the very last day after being all but dead the week before. But go ahead and underestimate me, like almost everyone does. You will be sorry.

    NOW THERE IS the rival that wasnt around last year!!! You were teased till the end, I was hoping you would make it but as I recall you needed to beat me to get in and I prevented that. Looking foward to our matchup this year!!

    No, I did beat you. Just not by quite enough. Revisionist history at it's finest. Like Dan talking about playoff matchups that never happened. Idiots!

    You keep thinking that, if it makes you feel better. Nobody kept me out of the playoffs but me. But if it makes you feel like a man for the very first time, go ahead and tell the revisionist tale of how you kept the only girl in your fantasy baseball league out of the playoffs. I'm sure it will win you big points with your ice-chewing friends at work.

    Being a girl has nothing to do with it. You are the ex champ and a very knowledgable baseball fan. Prob the only girl that i know that knows more about the sport than I do and that says a lot. So me keeping you out of playoffs in my 2nd year in the league was big .

    Like I said ... if you need to tell yourself that YOU kept me out of the playoffs, then go ahead. Just sad that you have to resort to such tactics to make yourself feel whole.

    No feud to it...it's impossible for there to be a feud when one of the parties has never made the playoffs and whose chief accomplishment in this league is putting his foot in his mouth more than anyone else. Not a feud...more like a clowning. Putting on a show with the mascot for the crowd...

    That sort of thing.
