Jimmy1104 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I personally liked our format last year ( points sytem etc. ) Kevin, I agree. There are two styles of Fantasy baseball, one being head-to-head and the other being rotiserrie. The one you are referring to is rotisserie and considering there are some who this may be new to, the rotisserie style is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 That hat would scare the quail off, but Cheney couldn't miss it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yes, and here's a picture of Sammy's baby wearing the hat when it stopped through Missouri Haven't gotten your check this month either, Sammy.

Jimmy1104 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 HD...what the heck! Do me a favor, cast a spell for my team to hit at least five homers every full moon night during the season! BTW....I am far from being a ringer like some may think here because of my 20 years doing this. I have been on the wrong side of the fence more times than not and I can always use all the help I can get. Hint.....I think Barry Bonds will be a bust this year. He is just going to play out his contract. He has mentioned in the past that he respects Hank Aaron's record and it would not bother him if he didn't get the record. Anyone have any thoughts on other players this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1104 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hey guys....I am serious. I will promise you this, if I get Bonds in the draft I will trade him for the best offer. I truly meant what I said. I think he will be a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Who do you think would want to take him off your hands , anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy1104 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I don't know Kevin but I was trying to be honest in my opinion. I wouldn't trade him for a number 3 pitcher, but a player of any kind of substance I would take. If this is an auto draft I will not rank him in my top 20. (Something tells me if he does well this will come back to haunt me!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 We're just teasing you a bit ... actually , were often a bunch of blabbermouths about what we think we 'know' once the season gets going . To be honest , I've forgotten most of the hot players from last year and need to take a look at the list once we're set up to refresh my memory ! That is one of the drags of the off season for me : I'm SO into it and know exactly who is good by mid- season to the end that it sucks when it's over and I forget most of what I knew then . Football , then hockey ... etc. You could be right about Bonds ...or wrong , who knows . I likely wouldn't want to start with him , anyway . He's sure to spend some time on the DL at some point .

Kevin Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Jimmy , Remember that there's always a downside to having HD cast spells for you : You may get those 5 homers on a full moon , but come up bust the rest of the month -- or get even more hair growing on your back , or the like !

Jimmy1104 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Kevin, I never had hair on my back so that is kind of scary. As far as the HR's are concerned, that is one stat. Guess I will just have to carry the other stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
