I wasn't expecting much, my team is not that great. 4-0 is definitely preferable. Please go win the WS.

Anyway everyone get your keepers in (myself included) before the league disappears. It's just easier that way.

I probably won't start the draft until the hectic parts of the HBD offseason are over though.

The four teams to submit rosters so far will need a combined 22 picks (almost half of those from the incredible mess Art left Nero to clean up lmao), could this be actually be a short draft or will we regress back to like 8 picks per team? :suspense:

I have to give up my team because I have acquired a third job in an effort to try and pay rent, and when I can't pay attention to the league it is not particularly fun. I can still do the rosters/keepers if need be, but the New York franchise is up for sale.

Someone remind me how to go look at my team now that the season is over and I can no longer see it in my view.

Also, I am leaving on Friday for Japan, so any draft I won't be very active for. I'll be back mid June, maybe we take a break (or someone can have my lovely team).
