Drafting Tomorrow
Tomorrow is our annual fantasy baseball draft. In deference to my kidney stones (which are better, but not yet 100%), I've asked one of my fellow managers for a lift, which he has agreed to do.
We'll see how the day goes... -
Warming Up for APBA Baseball
Following the draft, we have finally all gotten our lineups in for our APBA baseball league for the computer season. (I confess to being tardy -- life has been like that lately.) Guth has run five test runs for our 84 game computer-only session and sent out the results today.
I finished in first by five games, four games, eleven games, four ( Read more... ) -
The Draft Report

Baseball, Death, and Taxes

Draft Day
Today was the day for our annual APBA baseball draft. I was drafting seventh out of eight teams in a year where very little quality hitting was available in the draft, nor any quality starting pitching (because we limit the number of quality starters available), but a whole lot of quality relief pitching.
As it happened, I have a lot of quality ( Read more... ) -
Draft Day
It was the day of our annual baseball draft and my team ended up getting considerably more churned than I expected, with only 18 players out of the starting 32 remaining on my roster at the end of the day.

Happy Fantasy Baseball Things
So the folks at ESPN have held another of their Franchise Player Drafts where they select players who they would want to have on their team if they could draft any major league player to start their franchise, based on their expected performance for the next ten years ( Read more... )
