Since it's share your roster day on TT: Here's my keeper roster. - musubi Mar 3, 09:02 11
- [deleted] 2
  - Thank you. I kinda thought I was crazy for seriously considering keeping Montero. - musubi Mar 3, 09:14 1
    - I definitely would. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 09:14
- Gonzalez, Phillips, Wright, Victo, Granderson, Tulo, Manny. I agree with your pitchers and I add K-Rod. - Subversive Mar 3, 09:07 2
  - I have Papelbon, who I like a lot more than KRod. - musubi Mar 3, 09:13 1
    - Oh, missed that. Still, if you keep those 2 you can completely ignore closers on draft day - Subversive Mar 3, 09:14
- I might be inclined to keep Reimold; he'll get you some steals - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:05 1
  - If he were gonna definitely getting 600 ABs, I'd keep him. I'm not entirely certain he'll play everyday though. - musubi Mar 3, 09:11
- Phillips??? - groiny Mar 3, 09:04 2
  - He's above average at the position. *shrug* I challenge you to name a player farther above positional average on my roster. - musubi Mar 3, 09:07
  - heh, that was one I was like: "Hmm. I better look him up." -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:06

  - Final Destination: Splashdown 3D. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 09:02
  - he didn't say. -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 09:01 2
    - It was more of a rhetorical question slash film reference :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:01 1
      - Hence the caps. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:07
I can't wait for Reagan's birth announcement. "The baby weighs 8 lbs. 10 oz. and is 52" tall." - pmb Mar 3, 08:53 14
- "And is projecting an opening weekend of $36 million for Alice in Wonderland." -- nm - David Mar 3, 08:55 9
  - I know he's distracted, but the baby could make a better prediction than that -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:00 8
    - Criticizing the weekend forecast of a newborn? How low. -- nm - David Mar 3, 09:04 7
      - Heh - I misread your post, and was criticising Reagan -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:04 6
        
        You probably expect the baby to know trig, too, don't you? -- nm - David Mar 3, 09:06 5

        Oh God, I thought the Canadian in-jokes went out with the closing ceremonies. -- nm - David Mar 3, 09:13 1
        
        Nope - it's the best possible time to build on the Canadian Brand -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:15

  - Reagan: "Doc is it a boy or a girl?" Doctor: "I don't know. It's still coming out." -- nm - pmb Mar 3, 08:56 2

      - *heart* Colm Feore. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 3, 08:59

- I know the words you're saying are English but yet they seem to have no meaning -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 08:42 1
  - I'm pretty sure we have a spot available for you in the league. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 08:49
- Oh, Crawford @ $27... - Subversive Mar 3, 08:41
- Buerhle would be $3, but yeah, he's in the mix for consideration. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 08:38 5
  - Who else could give you better value? Pena? (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 08:42 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - Pena or Buerlhe? - musubi Mar 3, 08:47 2
        
        Yeah, I can't pass up Buerhle for $3, I don't think. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:48
        
        I think Crawford at $27 is a better keep than Buerhle. - Subversive Mar 3, 08:47
- Buerhle at $2 is too tough to pass up, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:38

- oh, and Vazquez is cut loose because it is the 3rd year IIRC. - groiny Mar 3, 08:28 3
  - you can keep them for 4 years groiny. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 08:29 2
    - I might cut him anyway, since his last tour in NY did not go so well. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 08:32 1
      - How bad would he need to be to not be worth $7? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:34
- would not keep utley at that price. Keep Bourn at 2 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 08:27 25
  - [deleted] 3
    - Bourn gives you 50 steals for 2 bucks. - groiny Mar 3, 08:33 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I know what you are saying..... - groiny Mar 3, 08:41
  - But given that, if you are (correctly) only keeping people who are way cheaper than their value... - TFox Mar 3, 08:29 20
    - Yup. Keeping bargains is important, but quality is quality. - musubi Mar 3, 08:32
    - I can protect all 7 of my keeps for the price of Pujols. - groiny Mar 3, 08:31 18
      - So who are your 7 keeps? - musubi Mar 3, 08:37 16
        
        I have not looked in depth, but my first inclination is : - groiny Mar 3, 08:44 15
        
        I'm honestly curious what the most money you've left a draft not having spent is. I'm guessing $20-30 easy. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 08:57 10
        
        plus, every time I have ever spent tall $ on one player.... - groiny Mar 3, 09:02
        
        nope. I usually end up with needing one or two players and maybe 5 bucks to do it with. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 09:00
        
        No, groiny is good that way. - Subversive Mar 3, 08:58 7
        
        I just don't follow how you could enter a draft with over $200 to fill like 13 spots, and not just decide to get the two best players available. - TFox Mar 3, 09:00 5
        
        It seems like you're saying two different things. Can you clarify? - Subversive Mar 3, 09:04 1
        
        What I'm suggesting is that if Pujols goes for around $40, your league is doing it wrong. - TFox Mar 3, 09:09
        
        I put a high value on position scarcity. - groiny Mar 3, 09:01 2
        
        I'm impressed if you see success with that. I have rarely seen that work. - TFox Mar 3, 09:04 1
        
        also depends on the # of teams.... - groiny Mar 3, 09:06
        
        Also, I am the king of $10 left with 10 players still to get. - Subversive Mar 3, 08:59
        
        You're miscalculating your $$. It's a $2 increase minimum. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 08:52 2
        
        free agent pickup would then be 3 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 08:59 1
        
        Yeah, if you bid $1 on them with FAAB last year, he'd be $3 to keep. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 09:08
        
        Hard to argue that, but you'll probably spend more to get Utley back. - musubi Mar 3, 08:50
      - i tried the same thing the first couple of years i was in this league, never worked well. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 08:33
did you say ... wedding brownies? *invites herself* -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 08:25
So, in honour of the Reagenette (and znu) i looked up who they share a birthday with: - Andie Mar 3, 08:24 4
- Tone Loc! -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 08:28
- pretty much all the bases get covered with that list -- nm - prayformojo Mar 3, 08:26
- I would spank 50% of the people on that list in a heartbeat -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 08:25 1
  - And that's just Herschel Walker -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:27
b1 is unstoppable, like gravity -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 08:24
