  1. unless you are in a league deep enough that everyone can't fill their lineups with starting pitchers and closers (of which there will be a combined 180 at all times) there is probably someone out there who will help you more in Ws and Ks than a middle reliever. now the middle reliever may (and almost always will) have a better ERA/WHIP than the starters who you can get as free agents, but the number of innings they throw may make that effect negligible.
  2. imo owners have no place in the hall unless they did monumental things for hte game, which no present-day owner has. Selig for all his faults has expanded the playoffs which has been very successful and he's presided over the longest labor-peace since free agency began. i still dont think he needs to be in the hall, though. i'm glad the veteran's committee didn't put anyone in, the hall is diluted enough already. the committee should be abolishd, if you can't get in with the ballot you don't belong in. the committee has long passed its originally useful function of inducting pre-hof old-timers and negro-leaguers who were originally passed up.

  4. it really all depends on the league. in a 4x4 league relievers have more value than they do in a 5x5, in a 12 team nl-only league heilman probably gets used eiter way. ina 12 team mixed league he definetaly doesnt. what if we have a 17 team league like last year? i'd probably leave him off my team since he has about a 1% chance of becoming the closer or a starter... i'd hang on to good relievers who are behind shaky closers or who look destined for the rotation.
  5. bump. join now before we open it up to outsiders.
  6. in a few more days we'll open it up to non-board members that are friends/family....but we'll limit it to each person can only invite 1 other guy/girl at first so that the league doesn't fill up with 5 of my friends in 5 minutes. oh, and we should require said people to at least come say hello on the board, maybe they'll like it here!
  7. thank you abogdan, we are now Sun Mar 25 6:30pm EDT from 7-10 was blocked off and i didnt think anyone would want to start at 10.
  8. and neyer was right, or close to it, based on that year's statistics. i'm glad he got better. i hope the improvement is permanent
  9. best player in fantasy baseball maybe, but unless he draws about 50 more walks and hit 10 more homers he's not the best player
  10. the only times available seem to be 9, 10, 11 am on that sunday. i'll keep checking back, if those times opened up others may as well.
  11. willie was quoted in the post today as telling reporters something along the lines of "you're just starting trouble because you got bored of talking yankees for a few days"
  12. unless preaching doom and gloom all the time is a "good reason"
  13. its fine, i was concerned about outsiders taking up spots, everyone can change their names to anything they want once we get people registered anyway.
  14. Glavine, Maine, Pelfrey, Perez, Humber, Park, Vargas, Heilman, Martinez, Hernandez, Soler... If 5 of these guys are standing, theres no reason to bring up Lima.

  17. Floyd should really just keep his mouth shut, if he was hurting and didnt feel he coulit he should have told Willie at the time not the media 6 months later. the "journalist" who wrote that should just stfu too, anyone who thinks last year was disappointing is either not a Mets fan or is an idiot. last year was a giant leap forward.
  18. you already know my feelings on el duque. if this increases the chances of the Mets breaking camp with Pelfrey/Humber i'm happy. if this just cements Park into the rotation i'm not so happy.
  19. the league site for 2007 is up: ]League ID: 17971 League URL: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/17971 password: joinnow go see the fantasy baseball forum for any other info and questions, we do have room for new people. mods: not everyone visits the other forums regularly so i'll bump this a few times and then let it die, thanks.
  20. yeah i was thinking of making an announcement over there
  21. or a few of the girls from "Deal or No Deal"... if the host of that show is sleeping with even one of them thats a pretty damn good job perk, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find 20 better looking girls in one place.
  22. ]Seating: The seats are hard and narrow I've never found the seats to be too narrow, and i eem to recall reading that when Shea opened they were considered wider than other parks at the time. Maybe Americans are just getting too fat.
  23. ]Shea hasn't had good parking in awhile if you know where to park you are in and out in 5 minutes, try under the highway.

These polls are retarded, and so is the notion of being obligated to participate in anything. amen to that. if people want to continue it let them continue it, if they don't it will simply die on its own, voting on it is stupid. ="metsmarathon"]i just vote no in all of steve's polls... a sensible idea.
