Thank you, TG

Damn Lobes - didn't know you were that good. Really enjoyed the blog

Braves blog is up and running with the first entry. Enjoy. Or don't.

nice blog C. Bodden...

Cory, Nice job with the Red's blog. Looking forward to your next one. How about an update on the players girfriends/wives...a poll perhaps...Hottest MaMa, Nurse Ratchet wantabe, Girl Next Door, etc. Damn my mind is wandering. Will the season ever get here???

I'm interested in covering the Marlins, unless that vacancyis already filled?

How do you guys like the Cincinnati Reds blog?

Sorry TG and CP, look for the next round of Outfield rankings later today!

lol...Its all good. I was just getting bored waiting for the season to start and wanted to juice things up a bit...I do expect Bruce to have a great year and he would be my sleeper top 10 OF pick if there was such a thing.

Bruce is #16 on my rankings. I actually have all the way to 40 done since last week but JTT hasn't had time to post them and with the new site I cant.... :)

soon though

I'd be willing to do the Rockies blog and possibly the Royals.

No love for Jay Bruce in the rankings??? Without getting into much of a discussion how do you justify leaving Abreu on the list and him off of it. And you said you liked dingers. He might even be a top 10 OF this year. Good thing you aren't on the March Madness selection committee...Or are you???

Nevermind got the email

I see I got the Reds blog. Just want to know a few things. Sent an email to Tarrell

I'm sure it'll be in high demand, but I'd love to blog on the Yankees. Let me know!

I would be interested in doing a member blog for the Cincinnati Reds if no one else has done. I am a huge fan!

Mansfield, we are going to try to add the member blog feature this year by having at least one member cover each MLB team from a fan/local perspective. I'm going to send an email to everyone introducing it later this week. If youre interested in covering the Marlins, its all yours.

What is this "member blogs" -- are you looking for someone to write fantasy updates on a team-by-team basis? Because if so, I'd be glad to cover the Marlins...

When will we get notified on our leagues on ESPN?

Thanks CP - it is very kind of you to comment...although I can not take credit for the site redesign. John Thornton has really been busting his butt to make the upgrades - he deserves all the credit....

TG the site is look'n better & better. I just finished reading your Valentines day article and think you have touched on a great insight...26 cents per word is a steal with all the insight & humor you provide. I'll be happy to negotiate your contract with the Commish;>) On a side note I have to give props to Jeffery Barker for winning the Elite manager of the year. Not a small feat for anyone's standards. You Commish, that'll be 20 bones for this post...Just Say'n!!!

As do we Tarrell, as do we ...

Redesigning for 2010.....Soon....soon......there will be links and articles - we hope :)

TG - Is their a link to an article about McCann??? Are you sure his spectacle problem is behind him???

Commish - Looks like ESPN is ready to accept leagues. I know I'm jump'n the gun a bit but when will you have them set up so the managers can accept invites???

Looks like we'll have a watch list this year, that's pretty cool. I can't wait until the draft dates and orders are set. Good luck to all this year!

We are back!!! tick tick...the season is fast approaching....

Same here...nothing going on this summer = Moving up in Fantasy Baseball

I'm ready for baseball. Looking to paying attention to my team more and actually finishing in the top three and getting to move up.

Feb 15

When is baseball opening up?

Yes, it is now on the Football homepage.

will there be a leaderboard for the combined overall?

will there be a leaderboard for the combined overall?

Congrats T.G. I tried to give you a run.

Final rankings are now posted. Thanks to everyone for a great season!

Word. So I finished #1 overall? Not to shabby ...Great season everyone!!!

The team ranked higher in the final Elite power rankings will win the tiebreaker.

What happens when there's a tie for third? Do we both advance?

Wow....Stop the Bleeding has 405 acquisitions...how many must the guy in 1st have

Wow....Stop the Bleeding has 405 acquisitions...how many must the guy in 1st have

I didnt think anyone had a higher score than me.

I see now thx again.

thx but it doesn't seem to work for me. I tried.

You can look t other leagues by clicking on the league name on the standings page.

It would be cool if we could check in on the other leagues. Maybe next year.

Bronx Buzz isn't even 1st place in Frontier, how is Stop The Bleeding not on there if he is?

I am at 127.5. 130+ is pretty impressive

135 out of 144 not sure if i can go higher. I guess the weighting really hurts.I cant see someone with a higher score though.

I am working....working working....Actually right now I am answering work emails and will be on the job until about 8 PM....soooo I shall return as soon as I can!!!! :)

Where are you Mr. Graham?

PICK UP CHRIS DAVIS NOW!!!! :)

PICK UP EY JR. NOW!!!!!!

We have a really cool BOC that we are working on. I am not sure we will finish it tonight but hopefully it will be worth the wait!

Not this year, but starting next season there will be prizes for both baseball and football - in every league.

are there any prizes at all for fball?

In case you missed it last night: Bruntletts unassisted triple play

No. There are no pay leagues. We are doing football the same way we do baseball this season.

is there an elite fball pay league this yr?

Scoring Leaders also updated.

Top 20 and League Power Rankings updated.

I P/U Snyder in AAA.. Thank You

Word, Snider is sick. BTW you see me on here posting to pick him up at 6 AM right? Sad...

Who was that in Toronto that just went yard ??

"• NOTE -- 51s outfielder Travis Snider didn't start for Las Vegas and is expected to join the Blue Jays today. Toronto's top prospect, Snider was hitting .337 with 14 homers and 40 RBIs in 48 games and 17-game hit streak."

This according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.

PICK HIM UP NOW!!!

One of my fav. MR prospects Kameron Mickolio is up for the Birds...52/16 in 42 IP in Norfolk this season. Watch your back J. Johnson.

And yes Birmingham sucks....not as much as SC but still....

BTW Cory, today's BOC was dedicated to you :)

Isn't Mark Prior working at an AutoBell now? 12 Million is a tooooonnnn for money for a guy that could be stocking groceries with a bum shoulder in two years....

Are you serious Prior got 10.5 mil. 8 YEARS AGO ... granted no rookie deserves that kind of coin but come on ..

If Strasburg doesn't take 12 Million dollars he is greedyyyyyyy

11est. if the nats do not sign Strasburg they should just close up shop ..

I dropped Cueto about a month ago due to an excess of starting pitchers, boy does that feel good.

WOW....With Wright going on the DL at this point his season is basically done. That is bad news for his owners. It might take him a long time to recover, as being a Met seems to make concussions linger.

Fu Te Ni throws another couple of scoreless innings today. The guy doesn't really excite me but neither did Okajima. He is showing really solid command and might work his way into a decent MR option.

Sergio Romo has looked solid lately. Only allowing 1 ER and 2 BB in his last 8 appearances.

Gomes continues to hit - he is one of those players they I always want to pick up but I know he will go stone cold as soon as I do...

In yesterday's BOC I wrote that David Ortiz is done. It hasn't been posted yet but I am not changing my opinion. He may hit a HR here are there but he is just done.

What the hell Delmon Young! He hit another HR today....The guy is only 23 but he might be the biggest bust in fantasy since I have been playing. I sure hope he learns to take a walk someday.

56 trades makes you sick....and not in a good way

Also, I am official protesting the "Most Active Team" rankings b/c they do not count trades. Here is my issue - I have 56 trades in the Elite league which would put me in #1 spot if they counted.

Long weekend so far but a good one. Closed on a house Friday...there should be two BOC's up today...JT has also been busy and not able to post my last two yet.

With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye, welcome back Tarrell ...

In the interested of beating a dead horse - C. Davis hit another HR tonight...

He doesnt really excite me. I love my DBacks but he just seems very blah - no huge power upside, no huge SB upside...just solid production. He does have 19 SB at AAA this season but does a potential 12/25 guy really do anything for you?

How about the new aussie in the OF for AZ? Is Trent Oeltjen about to pull a run like Garrett Jones?

Escobar is up at SS for the Brewers. He really doesnt excite me but I snagged him in several leagues. Not much pop and only average BB skills. He does have some serious wheels though....I grabbed him in a Keeper and Dynasty formats. If you need MI help - Ian Kinsler owners - he might be worth a gamble....

Kila Ka'aihue has lost some of his luster this season while batting only .262 with 14 HR but can you dig that 18% BB rate? 83 BB in 452 PA....pretty nice. To touch on the previous post EY Jr. is also top 10 in the PCL with 50 BB

"Eric Young Jr. scored his 107th run Tuesday night to break the 2000 team record set by Phil Hiatt." - from MILB.com....

Bring him up!!!!!

Then again, I am referring to the 2004-2005 dodgers GM. A sad reign in dodger history.

Feels good to be back on top of the Elite overall standings, and yes, DePodesta does eat paint chips.

The day after I accuse DePodesta of eating paint chips for not picking Snider for call up, his choice Ruiz hits a HR....oh well, Snider will be up in a week. Ruiz might be worth a flier since he had 25 HR this season in the minors but its doubtful.

Jarrod Parker might avoid TJ. I love my D-Backs and this is pretty sad...hope he is alright long term.

Also, is this Venable kid real? Wow.

Mike Lowell goes deep and you still have 2 days to trade him...hurry up.

BTW, why we are on the subject any guess on the highest LD rate? Josh WIllingham at 36%

Who has the lowest LD rate in the last two weeks? Would you have guessed Jermaine Dye?...over the last 14 days he has managed a paltry 2.7%. Reports are that he is using a styrofoam noodle as a bat.

Thats a gross over simplification and you now it. BTW if that kind of rate bothers you then drop Howard, Dunn, Reynolds, etc.

You are right, its a massive improvement for Chris "Jose Hernandez has nothing on me" Davis

And after last night it is 17/29 BB/K... :)
