I looked over everything last night and didn't see anything.  Really curious to see who was offsides. Will you tell us once the player is drafted jbar?

jbar is right - there was definitely a party foul in one of the posts.

Proof that batting order does matter in the SIM.  I'm using 1994 Jeff Bagwell & 1997 Larry Walker in my HOF Ballot theme league, and they started out hitting #4 & #3 respectively which produced horrid results.

I flip flopped them after about 5 games & Walker is now slugging 1.000 & Bagwell is hitting .452.  Bags in the 3 hole where he belongs!

Started shoring up my bullpen, but got scooped one pick away on Hon Chi Kuo. I was gonna double him up with Wade Davis. Would have been filthy. So I took Steele to give me dead ball pitcher innings in middle relief. The double pick rounds also made me change strategy a little when I realized there was no way a good third baseman was getting back to me. So I grabbed David Wright over another couple of choices because I've had solid success with him in high cap leagues.

The lineup is set and the pitching staff is rounding into form.  The lineup is definitely leaning left.  No snarky political barbs!

Javy Lopez will act as a second cleanup hitter.  Trying to break up the string of LH batters should help neutralize the effects of a LOOGY.  We shall see if the SIM agrees!

1)  Brady Anderson - CF
2)  Edgardo Alfonzo - 2B
3)  Lou Gehrig - 1B
4)  Larry Walker - RF
5)  Al Rosen - 3B
6)  Hal Trosky - DH
7)  Jay Bell - SS
8)  Goose Goslin - LF
9)  Javy Lopez - C

I'm in Manhattan Beach, CA.  If roadhouse is in Vero Beach, that makes four corners!

That's pretty cool.  One day, maybe we could all get together in a sports bar somewhere and talk both real life and WIS sports.
