Also, simleague records get skewed by stupid gimmick teams (for example my all-Dave Kingman team that went like 41-121 or something)

HBD is definitely a different animal, though.

My 9th playoff appearance is about to happen. I've ridden my MDP ripoff team to a 110-49 record so far, and with any luck, i'll win another, or at least get to another world series!

Is THAT what that team is? Well, I'll probably wind up running into you in the playoffs, dammit.

As far as having time for it, your teams won't be due until probably mid-july and the themes are already posted so there's plenty of time to get them made.

Money, on the other hand - you're guaranteed to be sinking at least $93 into it between six teams and a $15 GC. If you can't afford that right now then just go ahead and pass. It'll be back next year.

Yeah, I think I'll have to wait until next year for it.

Super-cheap IFA catcher I got last year with a pretty varied skillset:

My projections aren't very good, but you get the general shape. How good/useful do you think this guy will be?

At the very least he's a ML backup/defensive replacement/bench guy. He'll wind up with a decent slg and avg, but he'll probably obp sub-300 most years.

Still, I'd absolutely sign him for short money. I love ridiculous skillsets like that, though.

There's 5 opening in the HBD private world Rice Not Lynn, for anyone looking to pick up a team. They've been open for over a week and aren't getting much play, so a small invasion is plausible. Open teams draft 3, 4, 9, 10 and 17 (due to a Type D pick between 1/2).

Almost half the current guys half won a WS apparently, huh. No wonder my team sucks.

E: Also! The vacancy in my division (AL East) drafts 9th. I share the division with two teams named the "Blue Sox" and the always clever "Red Sox." I would consider a name change if someone wants to join me in playing off those silly geese.

I'm half tempted to join up as the Paisley Sox just for shits and giggles

Having never used '07 Barry before, I now intend to use him as much as possible. What a great guy to toss in the 9 hole for most of the season (moving him up for important series)
