I thought about taking Adams from SDP, but I think Romo will take care of the closer role for me. My toughest pick was round 3, it was either Manny or a RP....Yankees went off the board, that made the decision a little easier..

I'd like to see this go back to a $100M cap at some point....my 2 cents...

I am totally in favor of bumping the cap down to 100m.

In the meantime, however, I'm going to enjoy the fact that 120m lets me run out a lineup like this:

CA: .901 OPS#
1B: 1.045
2B: 1.210
3B: .991
SS: .984
LF: 1.099
CF: .897
RF: 1.039

your 2nd baseman is Rogers Hornsby?

I think the sim engine believes that 1998 Mark McGwire, due to his A- range at first base, would've been able to play a competent second base.

that loophole isn't quite as annoying as the old super-long-reliever trick (ah, memories), but it's up there. (not that I'm blaming you for taking advantage, alleyviper!)

Will get page one finalized, and hope to have a league number in the next hour or so.

Historically highly-valued players who got through the draft this time:

Vladimir Guerrero, Expos
Roy Halladay, Blue Jays
Bobby Abreu, Phillies
Brady Anderson, Orioles
C.C. Sabathia, Brewers

Guerrero and Halladay are usually first-round keepers, but this is the second time for each of them getting through (Halladay's second in a row).
The other three aren't usually first-round keepers, but this is the first time any of them has gone through.

Waiting to hear back from support about the password for the league.  Thought it was ColeWilhoit, but it must have changed last season.

I wasn't planning to use Guerrero, but since he got through I guess now I've got a 700-PA, $7M pinch hitter.

highly valued players got through because everyboody's drafting mediocre SP with innings. passing over some real nice RP and some better parttime SP. innings have become way overrated.

Have a 4-hour drive ahead of me this afternoon.  No word yet from support.  Should have some time to check again this evening.

I can agree with this, I got 2 SP with good innings, but some good WHIP's as well, & Boston is deep in positions that I could have drafted for, but decided against with the players that I lost, which actually worked out better than anticipated.  I wish that they would do something to the sim engine in terms of teams using 10-12 P's as a whole, for the most part it usually turns out ok, but if you have guys that get constantly fatigued, it makes it very hard to move forward with limited RP arms, as most MLB teams never get past using 11 / 12 P's, even though it's more of a 5 man rotation in this day & age.

League # 101461. Can someone sitemail it, I'm on my phone. Thanks.

I just tried it and it goes to a $200 mil 5 stage draft.

Exactly what Robin said. I tried it, too. Bad number. Any chance the numbers are transposed?
