Looks like Jim had a shaky outing. Hopefully he'll get back on track in his next start. I'm really interested in how this Yufo guy is. I'll be waiting to hear a report on him Rex once you see him a few times

He's pretty much a career minor leaguer. The Cubs got him from Florida if I recall and then the next year he went onto Colorado. This guy has a solid bat, but I'd say he's another Rosie Brown or something along those lines, but a bit less talented. He isn't very good defensively so it will be hard for him to find a job considering offensively he's yet to prove himself at the major league level. If he ever got back to Florida or to someone like San Diego, Milwalkee or Montreal he could have a shot.

how much allowance does he give ya to defend him heather???????? Well I can't speak for Rex, but lets just say I'll be able to get season tickets for the rest of my life

I agree with Hudler. Their is no reason to be concerned this early. Lee is still showing patience and he has extremely quick hands. There is no reason he shouldn't be successful. Carlos has worked very hard each offseason and is in great shape and confident. I have no doubt that he will come through and put up very impressive numbers, especially for a guy in the 6 hole. At the end of the season you could easily argue that Carlos is more valuable then Konerko (Just because I think Carlos is going to have a monster year).

I don't think he will. Buehrle has a great delivery which should help him. Very smooth and flawless mechanics.

Yep, that is ahead of the player pictures on my list

Hope everyone can make it.

I am not worried about Lee yet. Give him more then a week. By the end of the month if he's playing that way, Daubach will be the starter and Lee will be playing in another city.

Been flipping to that during the commercials. I sure hope we got them.

Jason, have you seen Rauch pitch? His curve is not even fair. It's like a wiffleball. I think there are much higer hopes for Rauch. He dont throw as hard eventhough he can throw 95 at one time, but he dont have to. He has much better control then wright too. Wright is a hard throwing hillbilly with good movement as far as i'm concerned. Ya, his curveball is one of the best out there. It is foul. His slider is also whicked, but he hasn't been throwing it because of his injury but he may of started throwing it in Charlotte, not sure. I definately like him, but Wright has great "stuff" too. I like Rauch's control a lot though and its one reason I think he will make it.

Brando, I'll see what we can do. We have access to a ton of pictures now that were part of this new thing so we can grab some. I'll have to build something to make it easy. It will take me a while cause I have a few other things I have to do first for the site, but once I give the Board some new color options and build the minor legaue rosters, I'll work on putting this together and see if its possible. As far as bandwith and stuff, were told we are alright and I'm planning on bumping it up in the next month or so anyway.

I don't know if Rauch has more potential then Wright. I think Wright has pretty fantastic stuff. When I look at Rauch I see good stuff, but not fantastic and that stuff is made better by his frame. He's got a great curve, but he no longer is throwing his slider (Although he's supposed to start throwing it again) and then a solid fastball and a solid change. He needs to develop the change more, stay healthy and get back to throwing his slider (He throws a plus slider) and then work on controlling all of them and he'll be set.

The Doors kick ass

You gonna be at any of the Sox games in Safeco?

I'd want a few sets of tickets, bp (if possible), game used jersey bat that kind of stuff. Here's one. What amount would be enough for you to sell the ball instead of give it to the player? For me it would probably be a couple hundred grand. I'm nice and all but that kind of money could do some great things for me, like season tickets for life

I say if Loazia and Stewart are pitching awesome, then leave them in the rotation and bring Wright along a bit slower using him out of the pen.

How would Jordan becoming the Bulls GM be good for the Sox ? I'm assuming that he thinks that if JR only owned part of the Bulls he'd be willing to spend more on the Sox. I disagree with this because the Bulls are a piggy bank making a ton of money or at least I think they do. This would mean less profit, of course they would sell out everygame with this announcement and would have a better shot at luring a great player over for a discounted rate via free agency. It could also mean Jordan plays another year, and with Jordan this team could be pretty good next year. I don't expect that to happen though (him playing with the Bulls next year).

Done.

Sounds cool Matt.

Hey....you're laughing at the biggest county in South Dakota. Seriously though....Sioux Falls is in Minnehaha county. Don't laugh at SoDak....we don't wanna get in this s***. Laugh at the Twinkies or Minnesota or Minneapolis....not South Dakota though. Then again....everyone here is stupid enough to follow the Twins...so you can laugh at SoDak, as long as you don't laugh at me. How far are you from Sioux Falls again?

WSC, it has nothing to do with Mark. The time was set and you can't really change it because its not something we are really in control of, nor is Baggs. They give you a series of draft times you can pick and then your basically stuck with them. Just pre-rank.

I did the prerankings thing so does that mean it can automatically draft for me?Ill be there for some of it but Im not sure if I can make the whole thing. And I need to know where to go for the draft? I wont be there for any of it if no one answers... Ya, it will do all that. Roman, there should be a button somewhere on the main page for the league that will say draft and it brings you into a room. I'll make a post later in the night when I see it, in case your having any trouble.

Roman, I just answered those questions on the top post. Anyway, you should have plenty of time and if you have to run, then it will autoselect the rest of your players based on the rankings. WSC, I recommend you do the exact same if you can't make the draft. Either way just come on by for a while and do picks and then take off when you have to go. You can easily compete and win it all if you autoselect a team. Its not really a disadvantage other then you may not get your favorite players, but you will get good players and your team will be as good as everyone elses. The key comes down to health, mid season pickups/trades, and if people find sleepers etc. I love the idea of keeping players and this should be a ton of fun.

Just go into the team area and there should be a button that says draft. It will take probably an hour or a bit more. I'm not entirely sure, but just stick around for as long as you can and then when you sign off then it will auto pick for you based on your rankings. I'm pretty sure its too late to change the draft time though.

I don't think baggs can change the time. If worse comes to worse just go through the rankings and set everything up. It all should work out fine.
