  • Sweet maybe you can point out a few other ways I almost won.
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        That was the main one. But I had you winning from the point that heyelander didn't take Baker until the time CJ made his picks. I tried all kinds of things to get myself ahead of you, but nothing I could do with my picks worked. I am curious---what was your plan for 1910's hitter if heye takes Baker and I follow by taking Sisler?

        • Hmm, I have myself in third but I probably just screwed something up. Congrats to everyone for all the stuff you won! Don't spend it all in one place.

            I had a few other guys but all inferior to Baker so glad I didn't win just because of someone else's mistake.

                  • And DMT edges me out by half a point in additive scoring for first place.

                    • Congrats to CB and the other top guys. I, not surprisingly slipped to the finish line. I am guessing in the end Pudge would have been a better pick, oh well. 6th place and just inside the top half and way ahead of Heye and Hacko so I won the PONY league VD crown.

                          • Congrats to Cavebird and DMT. That was a helluva tussle at the end. Cavebird's team looked like it was going to be a contender from very early on. DMT's planning was spot-on ... he got so much great value from middling / poor letters at the end.

                            Getting to 3rd feels like a win to be honest. Utley drafted in 5th, and Dan Uggla goes undrafted; Evans in the 4th, Ennis goes in the 11th; Kilebrew 6th, Kaline goes in the 24th; not to mention Garp and Frae snipping my picks. So many of my early picks proved worthless, at one point I felt I was looking down the barrel of bottom 3. So I decided to use all my strong letters in the middle, load up on stats and hope I could configure something in the end game. It was fun.

                            These end games are getting tighter and tighter as competition gets stronger ... at one point I projected 0.3 points between 4 teams from 3rd to 6th.

                              I really liked Revo's early game. Williams, Yount, Anson, Ortiz was a great opening.
