@Big Suge Knight @ryalaman @AJ Hart MN @dnf913 @PepperNY @briosu99 @babydemon90 @KnightNoles @bsta93 Make sure you guys are responding to trade inquiries and staying active guys. Its a long season, I would hope you guys dont start disappearing already...
Week 9 is in the books and what a crazy week it was!! Chief Knockohoma wins their first game all season, and won the pure domination trophy in the process by crushing the Jax Suns. AJ's Canucks lose a heartbreaking week by .60 points to mock trial with nolan reimold. Even worse for AJ? They were both the highest scoring teams, and had he played anyone else, would have won easily. And finally, in one of the most dominating weeks you will see all season: Albert Pujols was amazing- 2 doubles, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 2 SB and 2 GWRBI
Guys, I sent out an email back a couple weeks ago to see who is in for this season. As you remember it was auction draft, with 5 keepers voted on for this year. Here is the league: http://games.espn.go.com/flb/leagueoffice?leagueId=31720&teamId=1&seasonId=2012 Big Suge Knight briosu99 dnf913 PepperNY Pagamer07 Are confirmed I have not heard back yet from AJ Hart MN ryalaman KnightNoles ZCar352 abolishthefed

Pagamer07 Brandon Phillips Ryan Zimmerman Tim Lincecum Felix Hernandez Remaining spot: Justin Upton, Melky Cabrera, Hanley Ramirez
whats the deal with beckett this year? Is he 100%? I havent even started my research for this season.
Yea, I was in it all the way last year until about the end of July/August when I couldn't make up any ground
Yeah PA, that is a concern I have as well. I actually expect the Red Sox to have a down year under the new rules of Bobby V. Reports I have gotten are Beckett has gained some weight in the offseason but he has always been a big game pitcher. I will most likely send him tot he draft pool and kep Ian Kinsler who is more of a sure thing then Beckett is.
We just got NESN on cable two days ago so I've been keeping that on most of the day. He gained 15-20 lbs over the course of last season but from the looks of it he has lost the weight. The "snitch" is still in the locker room so he might still be angry at that. All in all none of that really matters because it is an even year.
Last call for ZCar352 AJ Hart MN ryalaman If I do not receive confirmation from you guys by Monday night, I will fill the openings. Bondzai Danthraxxx mcyork You guys are on deck
FYI Guys. Since this is an auction draft, the value of your keepers will be counted towards your available budget for the draft. We all start with $260 to bid. And then deduct the value of your keepers from this total. So if your keepers are $100, you will only have $160 for the auction draft. Keep that in mind. It was discussed last year, but not sure if guys remember.

Are we putting money on this?? I mean, last year a bunch of guy's quit fairly early and I lost interest because of it. And do we have to keep 5 guys?? Another question, can we trade keepers with another owner?? I think a Kershaw for Verlander trade would be practical although I'm still laughing I got Verlander for less than Scherzer.
One last question.. For a guy to keep a player, did he have to stay on his roster for the full season? Strasburg for 1$ seems like a steal but I think Nik kept him all year..
