Congrats WaitNSee! Back to back championships is pretty incredible.

The pre-rankings formula must be pretty good! Nailed it exactly on #1, 2, 3, 5, 13, and 14. Five ranking spots or less off on 8 others.

Hm, I don't like being pigeonholed, bardin (and schwarze!)  ;->  This is probably my last WISC for awhile again, mostly because of the time expense, but God knows....

I stopped playing Hardball Dynasty because I didn't like the common path to victory (starving franchise budget elsewhere, to put it into free agent bids). The skews in SLB are getting tiresome, too -- especially the dead-ball pitching advantage -- especially because it's actually fairly easy to fix -- and the better the hitters the stronger it gets.

Ahhhh, but the new salary formula should make things interesting.
