AGM Fantasy Draft Reminder

Don't forget the draft for our AGM Fantasy Baseball league on Yahoo is TODAY. It's scheduled for 2pm ET, or about 2 hours from right now.

I actually forgot about the league until yesterday when I went to check my Yahoo bracket and I discovered that draft day was here. It promises to be a marathon with 19 teams currently entered, so clear your schedule and prepare the cheat sheet.

PS: If I get the number 1 pick, kiss A-Rod goodbye...

PPS: Part 3 of A Decade Later in Major League Baseball is coming out soon (like either tomorrow or Monday), so read up on Part 1 and Part 2 to prepare yourself...

Couldn't tell you. It's about an hour and 45 minutes from now if that helps...

Yeah, that'll be 6pm then. Which is a bit of a bugger, but I should be okay. Two hours, you reckon it'll last? We're drafting how many people again?

C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL That's 21 rounds, 19 teams... it's gonna take a while. If you figure 20 seconds per pick (that would be good time), that's over 2 hours. We'll see.

It works on a point system. That means each at bat will give you -.097 points, each Hit .577 points, each double .32 points, etc. It's Davis' system to make the scoring reflect how well an offense would produce runs in real baseball instead of using the traditional 5x5 scoring.

I was thinking about posting a reminder, but alas, I am/was/will always be too lazy. Thanks for doing what my lazy ass didn't do...

OK. After finding out that I got rejected from Northeastern, acceptred to Bryant U (RI), umpiring 7 games, getting a huge sunburn around my neck, and missing most of the fantasy baseball draft, overall, I'm pretty pissed about my weekend so far. So, anyone wanna get some early trades in? ;)

Sounds like a good solid week for you. I actually like my team. Talk to Kelsdad...he has Juan Pierre.

I'm the "Kingz". I don't know why I called them that to tell you the truth. Beats the Romiezzo's though.

And SS, the thing about college is to never rush about making your decision. Bryant University is a really good school as well. I'm still not 100% sure of where I'm going to go, and I probably won't be until the last week of April (when I'm supposed to inform all the colleges about my decision of where I'm going to go).

Romi, I got into Bryant too. It's a really nice school with quality business programs. When I visited there, you can tell they just do things the right way and are a top notch school.

It's funny. I heard from Bryant through commercializing. They sent me DVD of the school. It seems like a really organized, well-rounded school. Lot of international kids, so I won't be alone. Woohoo! I was thinking of majoring in finance at first, but now I might have second thoughts and go back to what I wanted to start with: journalism. I'll take a deeper look into all the schools and see how it goes. Thanks for the info, BJ.

MAN! If anyone is interested in any of my players, feel free to propose a trade. I want to take a look at what spots everyone wants to improve in.

Yep, I'm still looking at the rosters.

Now THAT's a reason why you should not be late to any of your meetings, folks.

If wants a first baseman and can give up an outfielder, send me an offer because all 3 of my starting outfielders qualify at first base.

Thanks for the offer, Bobbyjim, but I'm fine with Paul Konerko at first base. I honestly think he's going to have a better year than last year.

Bobbyjim, I've offered a potential "blockbuster" deal.
