Jason Heyward got my team 6 early points this afternoon, I'll post my roster if any of you are interested

We play in a 10 team mixed league, h2h with points. each team is able to keep up to 5 players with a $5 tax each year off of the auction price. we play auction, only babymakers play snake draft

One of my favorite times of year is my auction with friends that takes 6-7 hours and then we get shitty. The snake draft with the guys from work who don't know Austin Jackson from Austin Powers is an IB chubby queef comparatively.

I wish JD Drew would try more often.

And the Natinals are killing my fantasy team. Yes, I have two Natinals on my team, neither of which are named Ryan Zimmerman.

This Sox are now in last place. This is unacceptable with their payroll.

1. Victorino
2. Polanco
3. Rollins
4. Howard
5. 39 year old Ibanez
6. Francisco
7. Chooch
8. Valdez
9. Doc

Without Utley this is pretty weak.

That lineup will still mash the AAA pitchers the Phils will be facing most of the time.

If Rollins could, even for one season, not be a complete jackass between the ears and occasionally take a walk and Ibanez not be so terrible as to ensure Howard never sees a fastball all season, I will not be concerned.

Agreed, it's a brutal lineup.

I'd even bold Rollins he's 32 and only played 88 games last year. .243-8-41

That's why I bet them under 96.5

This is a pretty good pitcher's duel going on right now between Doc and Brett Myers.

I can't stand Rollins, if he was leading off I'd have bolded him, but I think he's ok if not ideal as a 3 or a 5. He's still a decently productive offensive player so long as on base % is not the end all be all.

Houston got exactly what they deserved by having Brandon Lyon as their closer. I remember when that bum was on Boston.

Youkilis doubles in Ellsbury with two outs in the top of the first, and it's followed by an RBI single by Adrian. It's officially baseball season and spring (even it's it's snowy in Boston).

Not only have I not noticed any panic, I hadn't even really realized the season had started. That said, I am sure the pink hats are all upset.
