Fantasy Baseball 2011! Now with hot Razzball action!

[k1]

Just in time for the draft, Milton Bradley gets tossed from a game for arguing with an ump. 

Don't forget, Roto Draft at 1pm EST, Head To Head at 4pm EST (I think)

[Bob]

I think I am going to have the computer draft for me as I wont be home at the time.   My hopes are:

1.   Draft first so I get Pujols (or draft second and someone take a Brewer first!!!)
2.   Not end up with A-Rod
3.   No Jabba the hut Chamberlein
4.   No Cubs.

[k1]

Considering live tweeting the draft, but might not be able to since I'm home alone with 2 kids today.  That should make for a fun draft.   
If I do it'll be here: http://www.twitter.com/onewallcinema

The draft starts in 19 minutes........ and I have the number one pick?!?!?

HELLO ALBERT!!!!

[k1]

I may need to switch computers part way through.  Hopefully it lets me.

[k1]

Wow. I definitely didn't catch that the league settings were changed to LF, CF, RF as opposed to the usual OF.  I might need to make some trades ASAP.

Let us see how this turned out....... Draft first and get Pujols (CHECK), No A-Roid (CHECK), No Jobba (CHECK) and most importantly, No Cubs (CHECK).

And K1, if you need a Center Fielder, Carlos Beltran can be yours!    Most of my outfielders have at least two positions, so I think I am good if you want to make a trade proposal for one of my center fielders.

Seriously Bob. You hit for the cycle on that one! 

Beltran blunder aside, of course.

Beltran blunder aside, of course.

I blame the autopicker feature there.    I had it turned off, make my pick, then for the second pick my phone rang and turned the autopicker back on, and BANG, Beltran Time!

Too many  first basemen perhaps. Who knows? I hope this league isn't one of those trade-shy leagues.

[Bob]

I can see a CF for 1B trade in our future.

I love to trade in fantasy leagues...... although with only 11 teams, people may play the free agent route.
