[M. Johnson 1st MRB]

I'll take the 14th spot if no-one claims it.

Only thing is I cant attend sundays draft, due to major time differences!

[Parker 1st MRB]

Done. Check your email.

P.s. You'll have to create a ESPN account.

[M. Johnson 1st MRB]

If anyone would like to give me some friendly tips that would be great. I really want to try and participate this year, I even made myself a logo for my team!

Note: I've never watched baseball.

[Hudson 1st MRB]

This is gonna be awesome, just like last year.

Get ready to be beat down.

That is all.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

Tonight, baby!!

[Kabasares]

Draft night yerr!!

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

This is going to be awesome.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Gatorade X-Factor FTW!

P.s. I hope I don't get a middle of the order pick in the draft.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

If I win tonight, I'll owe it all to Chris Davis of the .636/.692/1.727 line. Total points for him is resting at 62.8. He's averaging 20.8 per start AS A FREAKING BATTER.

[Hudson 1st MRB]

Just sucks he decided to learn to hit AFTER he left the Rangers

[Parker 1st MRB]

Ya Chris Davis is definitely in beast mode right now.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Marshawn Lynch does not approve.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

Marshawn Lynch does not approve.

After another 19.5 point night with a Grand Slam, he may now....

This week alone could make him the sleeper of the year.

And I believe he is literally the difference for me for this first matchup.

[Alvarez]

...Parker has Kershaw taking the ball tonight. I gotta go with him, even with Davis' crazy numbers. When Kersh already has 77 points, one more start easily pushes him over 100 on the week.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Holy crap, you caught up to me Dillon?!?!?!?! Damn, nice job. I think you might win because even though I have Kreshaw pitching, he's the only pitcher playing for me today and tomorrow. This is going to be an interesting finish.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

Wow, I did!

Also, walks need to be worth 2 points. Because at this point, they aren't worth a single. They don't get the point for an AB, so they are worth the same as a pop up.

I'm not sure what you mean. BBs are worth 1 point, ABs are worth 1 point, and hits are worth 1 point.

I keep looking at our scores and we both have 700+ points and only 1.7 pts divide us. We're definitely this week's most interesting matchup! Good luck on Sunday.

*EDIT*

YOU HAVE 4 STARTERS PITCHING ON SUNDAY! GG I have none pitching, you win because of it. Sad face.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

Its because this is how it plays out:

Pop out - 1 pt. for the AB., no -1 for a K (not a strikeout) - 1 pt total

Single - 1 pt. for the AB, 1 pt. for the hit - 2 pt total

Walk - 0 pt for an AB (Walks aren't scored as an AB), 1 pt. for the walk - 1 pt total

Strikeout - 1 pt for AB, -1 pt for the strike out - 0 pt total

Now, making walks worth 2 pts seems like the simple solution (it may not be, but I'm a simple fellow), but it seems odd to me that a pop-out artist will score the same as someone with a high walk rate, as long as they don't strike out.

To me, a walk should be worth the same as a single.

And wow, yeah. GG on this first one. Got lucky with my starters spacing out after day 1, where I had 5(!) people starting in three slots. This is going to be a challenging year! Love it!

I WON!

[Hudson 1st MRB]

Was a close matchup last week for me too.

Gonna be a fun year.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

I hope all of your computers start on fire.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

Wild week! Engle came from behind all over Hudson!

Also, get out and vote on the poll.

Way to make it sound even more homosexual. What Hudson and I do in our private time is none of your business. Yeah I know thats you in the bushes with the video camera.

[Hudson 1st MRB]

I can't believe you came back and edged me like that engle. Scored over 800 points and still lost. Ugh.

Oh well. Always next week and I'm having fun so who cares.

Off to a bad start this week so we will see.

Its not gay if you are pitching. Only the catcher is gay.
