The league has been activated. All undrafted players will clear through waivers on April 2. Waiver priorities are in inverse draft order.
Joe Nathan was added to Tilt23 as a placeholder for Jenrry Mejia. When Mejia becomes available at Yahoo, we'll make the swap. |

Slackjawed Yokels-Congratulations. That was a very impressive run you made to 1st place. I really thought that no one would catch MBT, and the rest of us would be fighting for 2nd.-l

From my draft recap:
If someone held a gun to my head I'd just say I like Slackjawed Yokel's and Loki's teams. They have a lot of players that I personally like.
Do we get bonus points for correctly calling the top finishing teams? I still plan on passing you guys before the season ends!
I can still spare a bat for a starting pitcher. Might even trade a closer if the offer is decent. Hitting is where my depth is though.

You're not the only one Holt, from my recap:
3. Looking over all of the teams, which ones do you like the most (other than your own)
As the draft unfolded, I just kept saying to myself, " another great pick by Slackjawed Yokel". And based on Rotowires draft software, he's clearly the team to beat. Sorry about the jinx Slackjawed ;)

Unfortunately we didn't properly jinx him, so congrats on your victory Yokel. You've obviously got this in the bag.

yep, you guys might as well not bother setting your lineups anymore...
actually, looking at the standings, I think mbt has come back to the pack rather than my team really doing anything special (and most of that last night). I know I can't compete with his starting pitchers, so I'm relying on offense (and Tyler Clippard continuing on his 20-win pace).

Hey, hey, hey.... It's only June 26th, this ain't over yet. I fully expect to be in the middle of the pack by mid July the way my team has dropped off lately. Morneau has been sucking on fumes for the past month and my hodge podge OF is barely keeping it together. Thank goodness my pitching has worked out better than I could have ever expected.
Congrats to Slackjaw, he clearly has the best team (jinx, jinx, jinx, ....)

Confirming this trade:
Holt trades Reyes and Bumgarner to Filthy for Halladay and Aviles
It's excruciating to deal Reyes now that he's playing like the #3 overall again, but I have no prayer of winning this thing with such a poor ERA and WHIP. Too many disastrous starts from supposedly good pitchers. Who better to make a dent in those ratios than Halladay? I might be hunting for steals soon though.

Another trade, wow!
All I need is Reyes to wait until Tulo returns before breaking.
Hopefully he can bring me into the steals race in the meantime.
Maybe punting wins though? Or maybe AJ Burnett will save the day...

In the past 2 weeks my team has been playing like the true Hoboken Zephyrs or the '62 Mets or the 2010 Pittsburgh Pirates. In this interval I have lost about 20 FPs and dropped to 9th in the standings. Nothing seems to be working so I am changing my teams name to give inspiration to my players. Go LAD63!!

Not to be Buzz Killington, but changing a team name during the season messes up the stat tracking on Guru's ribc standings page.

Hi Loki
so Posada is doing good ....Pelfrey well...he WAS doing good but he'll do better...you'll see.
I regret more about pelfrey, about Posada i thought he could be out longer , also Barajas (oh my...) was looking good at that time, but Pelfrey definetely was a bad choice. Also i was sort of desperate trying to climb out of the last position.
Don't know who to suggest you, nowadays...
Looking back i regret more having chosen beckett in the earlier rounds, also i should have paid more attention at k's and wins..

Tequila-Posada has done well for me, but not as well as before he went on the DL. It seems common place for the Yankees to overestimate DL time when placing a player there. They also did that with Petitte who will be back much sooner than expected. I agree that Pelfry will start having quality starts again, but I will sit him a little longer.Unless things turn around, it will be back to AAA in 2010. Good luck with your upward climb.

They can switch to a new user, they just need the league ID, team ID, and new user's username/email address.
Or something like that... very easy, and Yahoo is very helpful and will likely fix you up right away.

I contacted them via the Email link within the Contact Us link, within the Help link on the main team/league page. Then I had to fill in some blanks and hit submit. Received an automated response right away saying I would receive a response in 2-3 days, which really took just one day. Once I replied with the required information, he had access to the team the next day.

Holt-I was listening to WFAN, a NY sports talk station, driving home from work when they announced that KRod woulld be out for the season and that Parnell would most likely close. I picked him up but did not think about Feliciano whom you picked. As it turned out neither closed; the Mets used Takahashi whom I was able to get later yesterday. Did the same in DD.-loki

Juliet:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)
On 7/9/2010 I posted (#53):
In the past 2 weeks my team has been playing like the true Hoboken Zephyrs or the '62 Mets or the 2010 Pittsburgh Pirates. In this interval I have lost about 20 FPs and dropped to 9th in the standings. Nothing seems to be working so I am changing my team's name to give inspiration to my players. Go LAD63!!
Since the name change the Zephers/LADS63 gained about 22 FPs and finished 3rd in RIBC 2010, and I think that with one more win would have finished tied for 2nd.
So perhaps Shakespeare was wrong and a name does make a difference. However the '63 Dodgers was and still is my favorite team (uh oh, I am dating myself), so perhaps it was just karma.
Congratulations to Holt on a great finish and on winning the league this season.
To the other managers in the league, thank you for a very competitive and enjoyable season.
And to Guru, thank you for overseeing all RotoGuru leagues.
