  • any tight races out there?

    our current leaderboard, possible 120 pts and 100 used to win but now 93-95 does

    80.5
    80
    74
    72.5
    69
    66
    66
    65.5
    64.5 (me)
    54.5
    48
    38.5

    I have 3 of the bottom 4 making a charge, and many of the contenders being paper tigers

    projected "winner" is the 69 turning into a whopping 84, but even he needs BHamilton to stay in majors and Jose Fernandez to come back soon

    Strangely, my 12-team NL-only started off with a clear leader (the guy who has Adrian Gonzalez) before a different top-3 quickly emerged. I had been very comfortably in 3rd place for quite a while until my hitters really caught fire and I've been bouncing between 1st and 3rd in the last week or so. Here's how it looks right now:

    96.5 - me
    95.5
    92
    73
    66.5
    63
    56.5
    54.5
    50
    48.5
    47
    37

    I already reached out to the 12th place team about dumping but he's actually optimistic that his team will pull out of it. Already made one fairly minor trade myself (essentially $1 Alen Hanson for $16 Jhonny Peralta since my starting SS was Chad Pennington) but I'm actually thinking I won't have to make any drastic deals since I still have David Wright and Jake Lamb as well as my $1 Charlie Morton coming off the DL soon. Essentially, you can pry Corey Seager from my cold dead hands

        I was wondering what happened to him after that shoulder injury he suffered back in 2010. Nice to see he's making a comeback in a different sport.
        Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

          I was getting about the same amount of production

          If I were to put Seager on the market I would most certainly gain enough assets to win the league, but as of now my roster seems capable of taking this thing down with one or two minor trades rather than a blockbuster. Surprisingly pitching has been the issue due to slow starts by Kershaw and Hamels while almost everything has broken right on the hitting side.

            14 team mixed league with a possible 140 points. Pay top four. Unlike last year's runaway title, this one looks like it could go down to the final day(s). I prefer a nailbiting close race. More so when i'm a part of it.

            108
            104.5
            99.5
            94.5 (me)

            75.5
            74
            74 (mith - 3 time defending champ)

                mock 1 standings as of 5/19:

                willthethrill 162
                revo 158.5
                Piney Boy 155.5


                will has been leading most of the year that I remember (I think joncarlos had the lead early, but he is in 4th now), but revo just shot past me last week. Been interesting so far as I never better than middle of the pack in this league.
                Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

                  Edit: Shocker! I'm in last. I guess having a lineup where half the guys are injured or demoted will do that to a team.
                  I looked once, but now I have to go look again, since you brought it up. I just have to figure out where the league is, exactly...

                    I honestly forgot about that league. Why did we do it on Fantrax?
                    Find that level above your head and help you reach it.
