Welcome to the league, Nick. That is a proper mess that you inherited. I am always up for trading so feel free to send offers my way. Dave

Glad to hear that. Buck up little camper.* *Bonus points to whomever knows where that is from without cheating!

I agree with your sentiment, as long as now doesn't become later. Dave

Man, it has been a rough go for you post draft, Johnny. First Profar goes down for close to 3 months and now Reyes has a balky hamstring. I hope your luck turns around! Dave

Very excited for this season. Feelin' good about my team, so of course I am up for a few friendly wagers. Dave

Yeah I am hoping for 130 games out of Sizemore. I think that is the upper end of realistic. Is there a way for us all to voice chat during the draft tomorrow? Assuming interest and computers with mics too. I think it would be fun and a good way to get to know each other better. Dave

Very excited! Can't wait for the regular season and Fantasy Baseball to get under way. Hoping for another strong season for both the Sox and myself! Are we going to continue with this thread or make a new one for 2014? Dave

That does sound right. You should be able to look at each team and see who is already on their team and their picks.

I agree...though being able to adjust one's keeper list until an hour before the draft is valuable IMO. Imagine someone gets hurt before the draft and after you have to submit keepers? That would be miserable.

Almost done with trades pre-draft. Still have a couple of keeper quality players that are available. Feel free to make offers on: Justin Upton Johnny Cueto Michael Wacha Getting really excited for the draft!! Dave

I am up for participating depending on the draft date. Do you have that scheduled yet? Thanks, Dave

I may be interested...what is the format? Keepers? Dave

Ha. I was referring to the March 2013 draft. I was tops in 2012 regular season but lost in playoffs but drafted in the 12 slot and now was second in the regular season standings in 2013 and won it all and will draft in the 12 slot again. More amused than anything! Sounds good on the keepers...

Great so I draft in the 12 spot two years straight despite not winning it all both years! :drunk: More importantly I thought the discussion was to raise the keepers not lower them. Going to 9 would create SO much more intricacy to the league. Do you go all in on aging keepers? Do you try to...

I disagree. I would keep Tulo and Scherzer and MAYBE Beltre but not likely. The idea behind this is that with only 4 keepers if the rest of your league takes 4 then you get two picks where you can rate the rest of your team vs whatever else was not kept. If a lot of teams aren't keeping 4 then...

I am very glad that you are going to keep playing. You are an asset to the league! I bet you will see some improvements in your team this year as you seem to be getting a better hang of the format and game. If you would like, I will share some of my drafting/in season maintenance ideas...

The only players that are guaranteed to be available are those that are not on teams currently. We will not know which players are going to be kept until immediately before the draft. To combat this, I look at each team and list who I would keep if I were them and go from there. The draft...

Count me in for the brew ante! Pitchers and catchers are about to report! Both myself and my Sox have a title to defend and I am looking forward to it. Anyone want to trade? Also we did decide to move the keepers to 9 right? Dave

I don't think we can see that, Johnny. As for the draft pool, the idea of trades is that you don't know if someone is going to keep a player or not. If you want that player, it behooves you to trade for him (usually for a pick) and make sure that you get them, then you set them as your keeper...

Not exactly sure. You can't really tell until the draft starts. Dave
