because i still care, thats why

Roto Scores: 09/07

J West: 39 + 29 = 68 (wow)
Brian: 25 + 34 = 59
Josh: 28 + 26 = 54
Travis: 26 + 21 = 47
Aaron: 36 + 9 = 45
Jeff: 17 + 28 = 45

My first though is that h2h rocks. We look and act like real baseball teams, without the atlanta braves' "nice year, now beat the astros 3 outa 5" bullshit ending. it's fair for a league of 32 teams, but not for us.

Over 6 months, i love how a team like aaron's is still in 3rd. there are lots of ways to get "wins" other than leading all statistical catagories. i used to want to sell surplus stats and pick up what i needed as the year went on (roto style), but now i think it's cooler to be able to hang each week even if you have weak spots, instead of slowly falling behind. let's hope the Mariner's pull an Aaron and take the wild card from the "better roto team" (yanks).

Watch out boys, my team is on fire and, oh wait, damn, it doesn't count for shit.

let's resolve that for next year, by using the playoffs or eliminating them alltogether like aaron did in football. it's a crime to have wasted baseball. Plus, if things stay on course, it looks like the playoffs are gonna seperate the men from the boys after all. I still say that they should go (what if j west caught the injury bug the last two weeks and lost to me in the playoffs because he was undermaned. is that just the way it goes, or is that wack? (i vote for the latter)). an unlucky week shouldn't cost u the title; that's why they play football

Keeper System

Decision time, we need to come up with some sort of roster rule preventing people like me from picking up every single hot rookie the day the season ends in order to keep them. I was thinking only the players on your team on Monday (sept 10) are eligible for the keeper system. Next year, we should probably make the date before the playoffs start, but I dropped the ball on that one.

Just to make some things clear:

We can still make roster moves after monday, we just can't keep anyone we don't have on our Monday roster for next year...so Josh, as much as it pains me, you can have Pence, but I'm keeping Hughes.

I think we decided that the number will be 5.

At the end of the year i will give everyone a list of their team and where their players finished according to "Yahoo Rank" not O Rank. This list will show every player on your team and what round draft pick they are worth.

If you want to keep a player worth a 1st round pick, you have to draft him with your first round pick.

If you want to keep two 3rd round players, you have to draft one in the 3rd round, and one in the 2nd round..you can only keep one player that is worth a 1st round pick. This keeps the distribution of elite talent flowing better.
